opaque tights (boob coverers)

[BabyAlexander]

I'm after some recommendations.

I'm 5"5 and a size 20/22, I know I know, working on it.

Where can I buy some long body tights? I've had some in the past but for love nor money I have no clue where I got them, at a guess, Marks, sainsburys, tesco, primark or asda.

I obviously need the xl size but I want the length in the body to be able to hoik them right up.

Help me please, I'm desperate

Can you order online? I'm a size 16/18 but 5'8 so I need big and long and I get them from here. http://www.thebigtightscompany.co.uk

They have a good selection

Thanks, worth considering. Would prefer to find something on the John street/supermarket for those tight emergencies though

I recently got some from M&s that were pretty boob warming - can't remember which exact type though. I'm the same size as you.

Primark opaque tights (the 100 denier ones) are brilliant. Much better than a lot of more expensive ones.

Cheapos? Expensive? Multi pack?

The single pack ones which are about £2 a pair from memory. The xl easily came up to my boobs when I was pregnant and I'm 5ft 8 and was around a size 14/16 plus pregnant belly when I was pregnant.

I find that Evans are pretty good for this actually. And Taking Shape had some in the same. M&S I find aren't nork huggers- they slip down. But Evans have been washing and wearing well and stay up.

The m&s pack was a two-pack and probably cheapish cos I keep buying expensive ones that are too good quality to be really boob reaching. Lycra opaque not woolly.

XL Jasper Conran tights from Debenhams, the 120 denier ones :)

Sorry they're 100 denier!

The ONLY good tights are M&S Autograph Bodyshaper/slimming 60 den. The only ones.

Come up to your tits

I have one pair that I absolutely love; they're old M&S body shapers in a size too big.

I've tried to replace them but they don't seem as long. :(
