Stockings that don't dig into my flabby tummy

12 replies

bigbeautifulweirdo · 08/03/2022 22:30

Postpartum body with jiggly tummy, big thighs and bottom and I'm looking for some stockings that don't dig into my tummy when I sit down. I'm wearing my (Jojo Maman Bebe) maternity tights these days just because they're comfortable but they fall down at the waist and I'm endlessly pulling them up. Any half way house between maternity tights and non-maternity?

I'm a size 20 18 at the mo Confused

I'd love some recommendations! Don't want to spend a fortune either.

Snag tights. Nothing else come close, and they last forever!

Snag are absolutely brilliant and i wouldn't wear anything else now.

Especially love the sexy, limited edition, mock garter fishnets. snagtights.com/collections/flirty-fishies/products/fishnet-tights-frank

Yes definitely Snag, I have a long body and a fat stomach which most tights struggle with but Snag are genuinely comfortable and I haven’t laddered or got holes in any of their opaques yet despite wearing them quite a lot.

100% snag

Definitely snag! Affordable (ok, more expensive than a three pack from Boots, but £30 a pair like e.g. Heist), soft, durable, and so so comfy and well-fitting.

If you get the wrong size the first time, contact customer services, they'll usually send you a new size free of charge.

And sustainably and ethically produced :-)

(Someone will be along in a moment to tell you we're all paid shills from Snag, but I promise it's just that nearly everyone who buys them loves them!)

rbe78 · 09/03/2022 11:45

^ Edit: NOT £30 a pair like Heist!

If you don't get on with Snag (never tried them) have a look at an online shop called The Tight Spot. It has a great range, including in larger sizes.
