Tights for large thighs

5 replies

Looneytune253 · 21/12/2017 20:34

Any recommendations? I am a size 14 but my thighs must be so disproportionate whenever I wear tights my skin literally squeezes through the tiny holes and causes a nasty rash. I always buy bigger ones too. Do I go up to much bigger? Won’t they just fall down? Or can you get bigger thigh tights? Thanks

I have this problem too- most brands if you buy a bigger size they are just longer not wider- I just end up with wrinkled material around my knees. Tesco high waisted are good though!

I have yet to find decent tights which fit well. Am a size 16-18 large thighs and am 5’10. If I buy extra large they fit in terms of waist and legs but are too short. If you check out size range on the packs the larger the size you are the shorter the length! So frustrating! Keep meaning to try some long tall sally ones but have to say begrudge paying over £10 a pair when you can packs of them for less than a fiver in primark!
watching for suggestions.

I have exceptionally large thighs as I have lipodema. I use m and s and Wolford tights.

Do you think you may have lipodema?

Thank you.

No not lipodema I don’t think. I was very sporty as a child and have rugby player thighs that’s all.

Google it, if never heard of it, all made sense once I had the diagnosis
