I bought snag tights!

And they feel amazing! They’re so soft and lovely. I’m going to give them a test this evening - will they stay up without the need for safety pants!

I’d never even heard of safety pants before I saw adverts for snag tights... what actually are they?? I like the look of snag tights, I’m really tall and struggle to find tights that fit well

Basically a pair of pants on top of tights! I always do it and it keeps my tights up but does tend to make things a little bulky down there!

These feel so soft and didn’t take any wiggling into at all. They’re long enough and feel secure enough! Just got in from work and had a dress on already so just swapped over: will give them a good road test!

Snag tights have changed my life! I am so glad I found them!

gaggiagirl · 31/01/2019 17:17

Ooh I'm very interested in these!

hotchocdrinker · 31/01/2019 17:20

I've tried them too. They're fab, and not expensive either. They come in paper packaging, and as the packaging isn't too bulky they fit through the letterbox nicely. I will definitely be buying more!

I also bought some chub rub shorts. They look like they’ll get some wear in summer!

These tights are the slate coloured ones which are a really dark grey. They look nice - was worried they’d be a bit librarian!

And yes thumbs up for the packaging!

Honestly they've changed my life! I even wear them for work now - I'm a nursery teacher so I bend and squat and crouch all day and they don't budge!

TinselAngel · 31/01/2019 17:31

Do they come in different leg lengths or just in different clothes sizes?

Their sizes depend on height and clothes size I think - you have to use the size chart on there.

They’ve not rolled down so far lol.

I'm so pleased to read this. I've just bought a pair of these to wear for a funeral next week. I usually hate tights and spend all my time adjusting them, pulling them up and watching them gather in wrinkly puddles around my ankles 😭

Off to find out wth snag tights are Grin

Rhynswynd · 31/01/2019 23:37

Omg. They look amazing. I will have to find out if they post to Australia or get my mum to send them over.

I am in love with their models of women of all shapes and sizes.

I often get chaffed legs from tights, I think it’s the nylon being pulled quite tight (I have enormous thighs). Do you think these would be ok for me? How thick / thin are they?

Schmoobarb · 31/01/2019 23:47

Raven they do all different thicknesses and colours. I’ve got black thick ones and sheer ones, I’ve just had navy 50 denier ones and turquoise 80 denier ones delivered.

I am plus size so tights buying is a nightmare. Either they are Nora batty or fall down when I walk and I feel my arse getting breezy!

These are great! I rode a bike in mine today! A bike! In tights! Who’d have thought it!

I find them not bad price per wear for thicker ones but £7 for sheer tights is a bit steep but I’ll still buy them as they’re good. The sheer ones are all out of stock in my size though 😥

mewan · 01/02/2019 10:48

Oh good, I ordered some of these but haven't been able to collect them yet. Hope I got the right size. I think I might have gone one size too big. I'm a size 14to 16 and 5'8'' so I chose E.

fruityb · 01/02/2019 10:55

I bought E at that size and height and they’re good for me

Snag tights are awesome! They have brilliant colours too! I bought a few pairs and they are soooo comfortable and fit brilliantly! I'm 5 feet 6 and wear a size 12 and ordered size C and they fit great!

Daddylonglegs1965 · 01/02/2019 10:58

Snag tights are brill. So much so that I have binned every other pair of uncomfortable tights I owned. I am 6ft and a portly lady. They stay put and don’t feel uncomfortable or at all itchy. I have a vested interest in them staying around as they are a complete game changer for me.

StylishMummy · 01/02/2019 11:00

Mine are amazing - love them & recommend them to anyone tall/curvy

Sforsh49 · 01/02/2019 11:01

I buy 100+ denier tights as I like my tights to be black. With the highest being 80 denier are they dark enough? As in they don't stretch so you can see your leg through them?

Do they have any control in them ? I always wear Primark shape tights and they are fine .. never fall down . I'd like to try these but it doesn't mention if they have any slimming effect at all ?
