Sexy stockings for larger thighs that fit?

I hope Style & Beauty is the right place for thisSmile

Both me and Dh love a bit of sexy underwear/dressing up etc. I have some lovely sheer dresses and corsets etc. However I really struggle when it comes to stockings. I'm a size 16 at the moment with quite wobbly thighs and bum. Nearly every set if stockings I try never fit. To flatter me I like them to come up quite high up the thigh but I just can't seem to find any. I ordered some 2XL ones from Lovehoney and they're still a bit tight.

I hate hold ups as they never stay up and just end up looking like a piece if Sellotape at the top of my leg.

The only thing that flatters are those all in one types, 'sex tights' I think they're called, which are ok, but I'd really like the old fashioned ones that I suspend myself.

Anyone got any recommendations? I think I need ones with wide tops and a bit of stretch. I mean I'm not a skinny type, but I'm not that fat! It's making me feel like a whale.

I've ordered from 'my tights' Their hold ups are the only ones I've found to stay up properly :)

The ones I've got just now are cette classic hold ups
They're a size plus collection. I think I got them from there but they're fab they go right up to my thigh and I can wear them as long as necessary Wink without them rolling down. I'd definitely recommend them if you want to try hold ups

They've gone up in price but tbh I'd still buy them. They've lasted really well
