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!

Thanks, fruity.

I prefer the Manzi ones from Amazon. Don't budge and don't wrinkle at the ankle!

See I have to say I wasn’t impressed. I found they didn’t sit as high as I’d like, the back sat a lot lower than the front. And I prefer a big of control in tights. I’ll definitely invest in a few pairs of their chub rub shorts though as they look nice and light.

@Wellfuckmeinbothears the chub rub shorts are fab. They feel very much just like tights without the legs

Ah I’d never heard of safety pants but as a teenager we always used to wear cycling/PE shorts over our tights so much the same thing I guess! I might give them a go, they’re cheap enough that it’s not the end of the world if they don’t fit (not like my lovely expensive wool-rich tights that fit perfectly straight out of the wash but are falling down by the end of the day...)

I love them. Have loads of pairs now. I love them so much I even wash them separately on a cool wash and hang to dry rather than my usual "bung everything in the machine then the tumble dryer".

I had a good first day! I did have to pull up once or twice but it wasn’t like they’d created that horrible void at the top of your thighs like I usually get! They were comfy and didn’t roll down at all - which is a big thumbs up

Aren't snag tights just opaque tights? Can someone enlighten me please?

StylishMummy · 02/02/2019 08:29

@Rafabella they're made to sizes and height rather than just S, M, L, XL

Rafabella · 02/02/2019 08:46

@StylishMummy Thank you!

BangingOn · 02/02/2019 08:51

Snag tights are incredible- they fit so well, are super soft, never roll down and are really flattering even under tight fitting clothes. Great customer service too.

This is good to know, I am tall and curvy and at the moment only buy autograph velvet tights as I love the fit but I am limited in choice.

I normally go for 60 denier so will have to see what I think of these.

Daddylonglegs1965 · 02/02/2019 22:47

Lucked I guarantee you will love them look at sizes and reviews or contact them if necessary if you are tall and curvy they are a revelation I would order at least three pairs and will be very surprised if you don’t by more.

Be gone Superman pants

A colleague wears Snag tights and swears by them. I seem to get away with Tesco luxury opaques

namechangedforanon · 03/02/2019 18:22

Thanks to this thread I bought them, and have now thrown all other tights away!

Annoyingly they seem to have stock issues as I want to order some more and they don't have them in but ah well I can wait.

Highly rate them

soulrider · 03/02/2019 18:46

I don't understand why despite the larger range of sizes they still use height as one of the measurements. Dress size and inside leg would be much more sensible.
