Snag tight?

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!

They’re life changing, one of the best things I ever bought. Extremely comfortable and I no longer suffer from the dreaded crotch drop or having to constantly roll my tights back up. I bought 4 pairs which have lasted me a year so far, as opposed to buying a new pack every month.

The chub rub shorts are an absolute game changer. Can’t recommend highly enough.

They are great tights tbf

AlphabetAerobics · 28/08/2021 12:01

They’re woven from magic dust and unicorn glitter.

Seriously -don’t care what they’re made from. Total game-changer. I’m short with ‘sturdy’ thighs and small waist - I put these on and I don’t spend all day trying to yank them back up my legs.

I’ve had mine 2 years now and the only pair I’ve bust was by hooking them on something I walked past (clumsy) as opposed to fingers.

Worth every penny compared to trying 16 different brands which just don’t fit.

I am more than a little Hmm about their swimwear though…

LittleBearPad · 28/08/2021 13:27

Excellent tights!

My M&S ones used to roll down - this has never happened with snag

Blossomtoes · 28/08/2021 13:44

Do they do that annoying twisting thing as you put them on?

NecklessMumster · 28/08/2021 13:51

Another vote for Snag, I hate tights with a vengeance as find them itchy and droopy but these are so comfortable. I'm short and round and they fit great. I'm going to try the chub rub shorts now, I have some from big bloomers but they're a bit hot to wear.

SwayingInTime · 28/08/2021 13:54

They’re amazing, they allow us to have communal tights somehow and we’re a size 6, 10 and 14, it’s witchcraft!

holidaynearlyover · 28/08/2021 13:58

Do you end up with holes in your toes?

ithoughtisawapuddycat · 28/08/2021 13:58

I won't buy anything but snag tights. I'm a 24/26 and 5'3 and buy the short F size. Got about 20 pairs now including some of the footless tights. I also have their leggings which are the best I've ever worn.

Worth every penny and always coming out with new designs and colours.

ILoveAnOwl · 28/08/2021 14:02

Do it. You will love them.

mrstea301 · 28/08/2021 14:04

I love snags!! I've got about 15 pairs now and I love them, the chub rub shorts are great too, so comfy! The colours hold up well and they're so comfy, I used to never ever wear tights if I could avoid it, but if I'm wearing snags I'm usually in them til bedtime, as they're so comfy!

DragonMamma · 28/08/2021 14:06

Another evangelical about Snag! I only wear them and they are neigh on bomb proof. The chub rub shorts are great too - I’ve bought some for relatives and they are also now converts.

Cheap tights can ruin your day and are a false economy.

Snag are much better value for money in the long run.

SamVimesFavouriteDragon · 28/08/2021 14:21

Do they have a seam up the middle of your stomach? I can't find any tights that don't rub there 😬

Elmo230885 · 28/08/2021 14:35

I love my snags. I have them in loads of different colours. Love the chub rub shorts too. Rights and shorts have totally transformed the way I dress.

Northernlurker · 28/08/2021 14:40

Snags are made for a big arse basically. So you don't have to try and hoik them up. They just fit. It is life changing.

I was excited about the swimwear, then I looked at it. But I love their tights and the chub rub shorts are a lifesaver!

howdidigettobe50something · 28/08/2021 14:58

Do they do opaque thinner ones too. I sometimes wear dresses with opaque tights and get fed up with dresses sticking to them as I walk. Anyone know if buying Snags will avoid this?

SherryPalmer · 28/08/2021 15:02

I bought 5 pairs based on the recommendations on here and only one pair survived past the first wear. I always wonder how many of the posts on these threads are their media marketing team.

NecklessMumster · 28/08/2021 15:19

Well I'm not, I'd be using way more exclamation marks Grin

I don’t know what on earth you were doing with them then! I’ve had several pairs for a couple of years and they are as good as the day I bought them.

Feel free to check my prior posts and you’ll see I don’t work in marketing Grin

cricketmum84 · 28/08/2021 15:37

I can guarantee I'm not a marketer. Check previous posts lol! I'm a fat payroll manager who loves snag tights 😂

I don't like the swimwear either. I think it's incredibly unflattering!
UserNameNameNameUser · 28/08/2021 15:50

I just had a look at their swimwear Envy (

weaselwords · 28/08/2021 15:54

I’m 5’11” and size 24. No other tights fit me.

ithoughtisawapuddycat · 28/08/2021 16:00

I am a marketer but not for snag. I wear lots of jewellery and have long nails and never once snagged or got a hole in my snag tights.

Someone asked about thinner ones, the 30 denier are just as fab and I've also tried the 120 super thick wool ones. They do have a front seam but no rubbing at all.
