Leggings again - any suggestions for high waisted tuck it all in leggings?

Sorry to harp on about leggings but they seem to be staple for me generally in whatever form, and really need some that come up fairly high as i have a twin tummy (ok theyre 4,but it never goes away) and feel confident when im all tucked in! Smile
Any recommendations would be welcome, thank you!

isabella oliver are high waisted, and I've found them very flattering in the hideous post natal tummy period which I still appear to be in 6m after dc3.
They have a nice wide waistband and feel lovely and secure. Nice thick material too. Worth the extra £ IMO

mint velvet, have a lovely wide waist band bit and a bit of ruching (spelling???) on the ankles. Think they were about £15 and they had them in black and dark grey back in the spring. Nice thick material!

I can second isabella oliver. Currently wearing them, dead soft material, washes really well. I have a maternity pair too. So worth the money.

Primark, about £6 a pair

Marks and Spencers Limited Collection ones, had them for 2 years now and still going strong.

I still wear my matalan maternity ones even though I'm not pregnant anymore, because they come up right over your tummy and don't cut in your waistband. I have even bought another pair since giving birth Blush

Ooh thanks I will have a look at the Isabella O pair online. So cybbo, the Primark pair, are they thick and pull up enough over my round tummy? How about bobbling? thanks all!

Also Raspberrytorte, just looked at the Mint Velvet ones, very reasonable! Am tempted with them. In fact the whole website looks like a new online browsing crush!!!! Smile

Mint Velvet nonononono! They are the most slippy falling down ones I've ever tried, literally every second step I was hoiking them up (and no, they weren't too big) they went straight back to shop. One of the few MN recommendations that haven't worked for me.

I've got Topshop Tall ones on at moment, quite highwaisted and not too bad

Flexees leggings have a built in tummy contr, cover my substantially wobbly tum well and are fabulously soft and made of great quality material. I got mine from my local Costco at a bargain price of £9.99 but I'm sure if you google them there'll be many other stockists!!

I bought some from sainsburys two pairs for £10. They come up high, am sporting a pair over my cs tummy.
