For the love of god please someone tell me where to get tights! Photo included

Clearly this situation with half my backside and my CS shelf both not covered and uncomfortable cannot continue, never mind the draught, the constant pulling up is driving me crazy. Any ideas?

H&M have “control” tights which have a firm elastic top. They’re really comfy and the firmness means they don’t fall down. Mine have laddered quite quickly but that’s likely my clumsiness.

How tall are you and what dress size - what size tights are you wearing? I'm not a big fan of tights but absolutely love these Falke cotton footless tights www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002KBKX7W/ref=asc_df_B002KBKX7W55982971/?hvlocphy=9045889&linkCode=df0&hvptwo&psc=1&hvnetw=g&hvadid=208035153524&creative=22110&hvpone&hvlocint&creativeASIN=B002KBKX7W&th=1&hvpos=1o3&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl&hvqmt&tag=mumsnetforum-21&hvtargid=pla-367468876964&hvrand=6727083956955628069

They are not cheap but I've had the same pair for about 5 years and they look good as new. I'm 5'9 size 14 and I get a size L

It's possible you're just not getting a big enough size. I find primark tights decent and always go for a large

Thank you! I’m about 5 foot 5, wear. 12. These are Tesco, I’ve tried primark, Sainsbury and both do the same. It’s like there is no arse or tummy space at all, there’s legs then about 5cm of the top bit!

I use M+S tights and they have lots of room at the top and I have a big arse!

I have recently bought tights from a place called 'snag' only available online. I have not worn tights for many years because of this exact problem.
Apparently all tights are the same size and only vary in length. I have been very impressed with my new tights, you use your height and clothing size to find the best fit for you. They go from petit all the way up to plus size. Not cheap but if you buy 3 pairs they work out at about £5 each.

M&S do the best tights ever. You can choose size/length combinations...so if you go for a longer option than what you 'size' does, it wouldn't be slipping down. Will cover your stomach & keep you warm too.

You haven't tried the obvious supplier yet. M and S. don't give up until you have tried them. Some go almost up to my armpits and I'm 5 ft 8!

I wear primark ones but you have to get the 'body shaper' (or whatever they are called. Similar to that) ones! They come up really high and hold my stomach and arse in. Before I discovered these I used to have to wear a pair of knickers over my tights to hold them up! M&S do similar ones but the primark ones are just as good and much cheaper.

I'm going to try the Snag ones too as I've heard lots of people recommend them.

I have recently bought snag tights and they have been great they go by your dress size along with height and body shape, I have bought myself 3 pairs and have actually been comfortably wearing dresses for work without the super hero look of pants on top of tights to keep them up or me pulling them up all day x

Just had a look at snag - of course they're sold out in my size - argh!

I’ve also heard great things about Snag tights, a friend raves about them.

I’ve seen these advertised recently too, which look really comfy:

@sanitygirl just keep checking. Their stock comes in very quickly. They were sold out of my size but it was just a few days before they were available again.

I'm the same height, size and tummy shape as you. I find primark tights really good.

I sometimes have this problem, they roll down because they don't come up far enough.

I bought some from Sainsbury's recently that had plenty of room and came up to my waist right over my tummy.

I like Heist; the waistband doesn’t roll at all. Surprised at the recommendations for M&S, a couple of washes and I find the legs go baggy and they fall down.

I like Morrisons own!

I'm 5ft 8in tall and all my height is in my 36in inside legs. I'm a size 12 like the OP.

I only buy Primark Large bodyshaper tights. Medium should fit in theory but have the same issue as the OP. Large come up to my armpits. I actually tuck them under my bra! Lovely and snug.

M&S are fab & last about 5000 years.

Another vote for M&S. my autograph velvet touch tights never roll down and are high waisted enough that I wore them for a fair bit of my last pregnancy. I’ve had some pairs for 3+ years.

I recently bought some tights from John Lewis, after years of not wearing them as they don't stay up over my big tummy. The JL ones I bought were measured by height and dress size and there was loads of tummy space. Thank goodness!

Heist. Expensive but brilliant. Packaged so nicely, it feels like a gift!

M&S autograph were great last year and I am a 5'10 apple shape. Haven't bought any this year so don't know if the quality is being maintained.

Heist tights!!!!!

Heist , it's the only brand i wear now .
