Woolly maternity tights? Or just decent 40 den ones that don't fall down?!

Does anyone do thick woolly maternity tights? I'd also appreciate any advice on decent 40/ 60 dens. I hate 40 dens at the best of times, just seem to put my fingers straight through them, and maternity ones drive me MAD falling down all the time (I'm 5'11"). I tried buying bigger normal ones but found the same problem. I have tried mothercare and H&M ones - just found a shop that does Noppies at £8 a pop - are they worth it? Thanks...

I got mine from Mothercare - worn them at least 6 times now, very comfy and don't fall down

I found the Mothercare ones to be on the small side but M & S maternity ones were brilliant.
They sat over the bump really comfortably and didn't fall down. They were 40 den.

Ooh M&S, I hadn't thought of them. Will nip out in a bit

I had this problem.

I solved it by wearing a pair of pants over my tights.

I know, I know but it did work....

M&S were great. Don't buy from vertbaudet - they fall down too!!!

Stripey, in fact my Mum used to do the same thing. You practical types! I haven't dared yet... tend to get a bit hot at the moment anyway and would prefer not to increase the layers more than necessary! But I know it may be the only answer...

I got some from Blooming Marvellous (40 den not woolly!) and they have been fine.
