Where can I buy great, nude, hold-me-in tights?

I used to really like Sainsburys shaping tights and would stock up when they had their 25% off. They were firm hold, the waist was high so very smooth silhouette under clothes. They looked like bare legs but much better.
Dear God though. At some point they must have changed manufacturer and now they roll down and I keep having to hitch them up and fight with having a silhouette like links of sausage! Sad
I had a look in M&S and theirs seem to have stripes down them to 'slim' your legs! Confused What fresh hell is that?!
Can somebody please help me look reasonable? Nude, firm hold, high waist, no fucking weird stripes and don't ladder in 5 seconds. Is that too much to ask?

John Lewis do a Barely There range which are really good.

I've just had a look at the John Lewis ones. Even on the model they look low waist and they're medium control. My natural waist is not currently the best place for anything To stop. To be honest I could do with tights high enough they almost need to be underworld Wink

Have you tried going a size larger with the Sainsbury's ones? They are my go to tights for exactly this and recently had to go for a larger sized because of the rolling down even though I hadn't changed size/weight. The larger size do the same job the smaller size used to Confused.

Ooh is that right whitemarble? They were just perfect so that would make me very happy -though I might have a stockpile to get through

Don’t let the pic on the JL website put you off; I have a freakishly high waist and I like my tights pulled right up under my boobs Grin
