Snag tight?

[Workyticket]

I usually buy Primark cheapies but they're awful really. I'm a chubby 16 with short legs so they're either way too long or they dig in.

I'm balling at paying £20 odd quid for 3 pairs of tights though!

I adore snag tights. They cost a bit more but are so comfy and the perfect fit. I buy a couple of pairs a month so I have loads of different colours. I don't buy any other brand now.

Love Snag tights!

They are brilliant. Honestly, the best tights I have ever worn.

They are great. I am 5'8 and a chunky size 14/16 - they fit like a second skin and dont droop at the crotch. I buy size E and buy the thicker ones and they wash and wear very well. They also do some great colours.

Yes, definitely. I am evangelical about them!

Love Snags! So worth it for the comfort. I’m short and quite small (size 8-10) but with legs that have tackled a lot of the Pennine Way and have the muscles to prove it.

They are worth it. Trust me!

Can anyone confirm if they're quite sturdy and long lasting?? I could do with some but usually every single pair of tights I put my finger through on the first wear

Yes they are.

Snag tights are the best tights ever

Another one saying I love my Snags!

Yes snag tights are amazing.
Just got a pair of wool ones for autumn and they are

Yes they are worth the money especially if you’re uncomfortable in normal ones.

I've had a few pairs of mine for 2 winters so far
They are sooooo comfy, wash well, some of the older ones are bobbling around the ankles now, but I've had them for 2 years

Sounds interesting but what makes them different to other tights? Different fibres? Different knit/weave? Im struggling to see how they can be that different to standard opaques without looking different too I wear a lot of tights and always feel bad about all the wasted fabric so, yeah, do tell!

Wasted plastic I mean

Oh, I constantly catch my nails on them too and they've not laddered or developed holes

Yep total game changer! I love my snags.

The chub rub shorts have completely changed my life (and I don't say that lightly).

My aunt is very short , possibly under five foot, and a size 16, she is in her seventies and only wears dresses so I thought i would put some tights in her Christmas stocking, this sounds positive, are they ok for her height ?

They are super comfortable and suit my large bummed, tiny waisted shape well.

I've not torn or laddered any, but I do find they live up to their name and snag a bit.

The one downside is I feel like my thighs are getting bigger as the tights don't compress them to where I'd like them to be. But I think lockdown and sheer laziness is more to blame than the tights.

They have a useful looking sized guide based on height, dress size and whether you are a curvy or athletic build.

I don't know their tights, but I recently purchased their thigh rub shorts and they are so light and comfortable. I thought it was a really good purchase. If you buy three then you get a discount. My plan was to return two if after trying one I didn't get on with them, but they were great.

I love them. I'm 5'8 and a size 10, but I have very wide hips and have always struggled to find comfy tights. I would size up if you're between sizes, I measure a C but find a D more comfortable.

Another fan here plus DD15 had some fur school last year and they’re still going strong - she loves them and is a teeny tiny slip of a thing unlike me so they’re good for all shapes and sizes in our experience.

Yep they're brilliant. I don't know how they make them but they don't bobble or ladder and they size up width ways as well as length which is just brilliant as normal tights are just longer or shorter

I haven't ventured so far as to try the different colours but I love in my black opaques throughout autumn and winter

I believe it’s a different weave that stretches well in both directions whereas normal tights stretch more horizontally.
