Tights trouble

11 replies

I was just after advice on how you stop tights from rolling down/falling down.

I'd love to wear more dresses and skirts but I always find that tights either fall or roll down.

I'm quite tall with long legs (I buy a 34 leg in jeans) and am a size 20 with a baby belly Blush.

Any advice would be great fully received

Make like Superman and wear pants on top!

What TripTrap says, or buy a bigger pair of tights.

I bought some tights for the 'larger lady' which weren't really tight and they still went down and I tried some for tall ladies and they did it too. It doesn't happen with leggings

Do the extra pants on top really work??? I was hoping to wear a dress tomorrow as I've got a club meeting so I might just try it - thanks!

YY to pants over the top.

OMG no. No to pants on top

FunnyLittleFrog · 27/10/2013 07:14

M&S tights are the best - in a size bigger than you think you need

What's wrong with pants over the top? It's a legitimate tactic! Obviously normal pants underneath, then tights, then briefs on top. Job done.

I do the extra pair of knickers on top. It's the only thing that works.

I wear my spanks on top Wink

I sometimes do pants over the top, works a treat but you can get VPL with tighter skirtd/dresses. I use a low brief to lessen the bulk around the middle but using spanx over sounds a great idea
