Tights that don't fall down!

Please!

Tights that fall down are the absolute bane of my life. I wear 40 or 80d opaque most days and just want to find a pair that doesn't require hoiking up every 15 minutes.

They also need to have enough depth in the top bit so that they don't chop me in half.

I don't wash my tights with fabric conditioner btw, as I know this can make them fall down.

I'm 5ft 8 too and always struggle but I wore my maternity tights the other day with no dropping down!!! Was a revelation, will always stick to maternity tights, long enough in the leg and the depth of the gusset (HATE that word!) meant the didn't roll down, was amazing! Not the most attractive though ha

Bolshy funnily I don't find the control top uncomfy, far better than a waist which keeps rolling over or a gusset chafing my inner thighs! Bit annoying when going to the loo in a hurry though!

Thanks again for all the recommendations. I'll be collecting each brand as I go around the shops, in search of the perfect pair.

I will leave Wolford for last as I can't imagine spending £25 on a paid of tights but I will if they work...
