Snag Tights

I hate their marketing.

I really thought they were only for very obese women or very fat men who like to wear tights.

I didn't realise that slim women were their target market too.

Honestly?
I'm yet to try them but their marketing makes me think I'd be more likely to find a pair from their range which fits me.
I really like that they also have photos of women with disabilities on their website. I cant remember when I last saw that.

Well 99% of adverts are targeted to slim women, are you really going to begrudge us fatties some brightly coloured tights?

ShrikeAttack · 03/11/2020 00:38

Yes!

I thought they were just for large women. Their FB is JUST large women.

My heart bleeds :p

ShrikeAttack · 03/11/2020 00:41

No. Wear what you like.

I'm not feeling excuded.

BUT they will not sell tights to smaller women.

They may as well take their smaller sizes off. No woman below a 14 will even look at them.

It's true that most of the snag tights adverts on Facebook are for plus

wynchinuptheclose · 03/11/2020 00:50

Whatever 🤷🏼‍♀️

.... Size
Not all but the vast majority that come up on mine
So yes I did think that was they're target audience till I read threads on here

BecauseOfTheRain · 03/11/2020 00:54

I've bought two pairs in the last month - I'm a 10/12 and very happy with the fit. I love their marketing, and approach to getting the right size to fit a more realistic variety of body shapes

PartoftheProbl3m · 03/11/2020 00:54

I’m so glad you said that. I find their marketing odd too. Didn’t order.

Twiggywinkle13 · 03/11/2020 00:56

On their website they have models of all sizes and shapes. Sorry that a size inclusive brand is offensive to you, probably best not buy from them since that’s one of their main focuses. Hmm

Twiggywinkle13 · 03/11/2020 00:58

Did you actually go on their Facebook page?

Yes I did Twiggy.

Those women are all a lot larger than me.

I'm not being an arse, I just don't think Snag are marketing to sub-14's.

And that's ok.

But their whole schtick is larger isn't it?

I really thought they were a plus size brand.

I know loads of non plus size women who use them. Plus I love they use disabled models

ShrikeAttack · 03/11/2020 02:40

Then why so they only use plus size to advertise?

OP posts:
Summerstorms · 03/11/2020 02:42

Why do so many clothes brands only use slim models to advertise?

Also: this is a really weird thing to care about

ShrikeAttack · 03/11/2020 03:20

Snag use not just slim or regular or 'in the zone' women.

The women they use are huge.

24+ size.

They are big women.

They do not use any women size 12 or lower.

I don't care.

But I'm not about to buy their products. They don't seem for me.

OP posts:
MagnoliatheMagnificent · 03/11/2020 03:29

But are their products any good? I'm a 20 so find it hard to find comfy tights , these look good but are they??

OneRingToRuleThemAll · 03/11/2020 03:32

I have noticed the same. The women in the adverts are very large. Although I am a size 12 and wear Snag tights.

biteysaurus · 03/11/2020 03:41

I'm a 12 and I'm a Snag convert. Comfiest tights I've ever had.

ShrikeAttack · 03/11/2020 04:01

Why do I care?

I don't really.

I.just keep wondering why they keep appearing and why their competitions really seem to laud really quite large women. Larger than I'd see in regular life.

Huge. But they sell tights from size 8 up. Apparently.

I've never seen a size 8 advertising them.

I don't know a slim woman that would buy them. Purely because of their advertising. Seems a bit ridiculous.

OP posts:
CarrotCakeSupprise · 03/11/2020 04:07

I'm an 8 and buy their tights. OP is clearly goady or dense.

They are owned by a chap who is going to court to argue that lockdown is a breach of his human rights, which will give me slight pause in the future.

No they're shit. I had them at a size 20 and found their sizing way off.
sunshineandshowers21 · 03/11/2020 04:38

i’m a size 12 and i only ever wear snag tights now. but you’re obviously teeny tiny so i’m probably ‘huge’ in your eyes. you just sound goady, op. most shops use size 8 models for clothing - even when they go up to sizes 18/20. i wouldn’t be put off buying something that had good reviews just because of the models they use.

Harmarsuperstar · 03/11/2020 05:01

I'm size 16. Clothes usually aren't worn by models in my size, so if I like the clothes I just check to see whether my size is available. I appreciate this must be more difficult if you're used to seeing most items of clothing modelled by someone of a similar boy shape to your own.
