Something with no inside leg seam

[meringue33]

No idea if this is the right topic to post but I’ve a painful varicose vein running down my inside left leg and it chafes like hell on anything with a seam. Can anyone suggest genuinely seamless leggings, tights or something else I can wear to avoid this! Skirts work in summer but it’s too cold now! Any help gratefully appreciated

Opaque tights don't have leg seams as far as I know

They are thin though, right? And not really made for the park/ school run...

Depending on where it is you might get lucky with jodhpurs. Would have to wear a longer jumper/coat to disguise them.

Or can’t you just wear wider leg/boot cut jeans with a support stocking underneath.

Opaque tights don't have to be thin... I've seen them up. To 300 denier but anything 60 denier or over isn't thin. I don't see why these wouldn't be acceptable for the park or school run? I wear them for both! With a skirt or dress, I might add. Not on their own!

I've got some sports leggings from sports direct - Lonsdale I think - that are seamless round the leg

I wear thick opaque tights or some that are thermal, almost woolly, with a denim skirt and boots. They don't have seams (apart from the toes) and I'm warm enough doing the school run. M and s sell lots of warmer tights.

How about seamless shorts worn under your normal clothes? Or leggings worn inside out? (My go to for annoying seams)

Thanks all, really appreciate the input!

Can you send me any links to what you mean? Most of the tights & leggings I see do have seams - I’ve googled “seamless leggings” and they are described as such but in the pic clearly have a seam.

Support stockings not comfortable for every day use, I save for the plane!

Oh and helpfully I can’t wear wool as too itchy..,

All the tights I've got are constructed in such a way that the legs are tubes, there are seams at the toes and at the top but no inside leg seams - I don't think I've ever come across tights that have inside leg seams. Most of my tights are from m+s.

I have never seen tights with leg seams either. Where are you looking. Are they actually tights you are looking at?

Are these any good?

Or these?

Or these?

These do seem to be seamless.

Uniqglo have leggings described as seamless.

Would tights under trousers help?

Thanks everyone!

Will try the poly tights and see if I can wear them without irritation.

The SensorySmart ones look great thanks, though it’s a shame they don’t come in black as I want something I can wear as outerwear.

And the Uniqlo Airism ones sound perfect but are out of stock.

Thanks for the help. It’s all very strange- I never had sensitive skin on my legs until a couple months ago and now I can’t bear anything.

Try Gap running tights / leggings

I've never had a pair of tights with a seam.

Most gym labels do 'seamless' leggings.

Bear in mind that probably the seam that the tights are referring to is the one round the toe. I have loads of M&S tights, none have seams up the legs but they have one at the end by the toe - so they won’t come up in a seamless tight search.

Yes and toes aren’t the problem for me...

Just had a look at the Gap prices and nearly fainted

Lots of running gear has no seams as running = rubbing skin on everything = chaffing. Applies to everything - running are double lined to avoid rubbing. So look for seamless running stuff. Here are some examples:

The other option is very loose style yoga pants that are minimal seamed but of a low friction type material and make little contact with your skin. I have a pair of Yummie by Heather Thomson trousers like this that are made of modal - don't rub and feel like wearing air. Few seasons old so can't link to them as not on sale - but you maybe able to find something similar if you scout around.

I don't think any of the hundreds of pairs of tights I've ever bought had seams other than along the toes.

Primark do 200 denier tights
