Snag tights, are they worth the money?

Just that really. I've always struggled to get normal ones to fit properly without sagging and wrinkling. Are these any good?

I love mine! Smile
I've got tights and the chubrub cycling shorts. I've found that the tights are the first pair I've ever worn which don't roll down and the shorts have done wonders for me wearing dresses in the heat without chaffing! Planning on buying more soon.

I got married last Saturday when it was roasting and wore snag shorts under my dress and they were great, you don't even feel like you're wearing anything really.

I love mine too, both tights and chub rub shorts. Previously I only ever wore dresses on occasions where I felt I had to (weddings etc), because of the tights issue - being short and fat meant I struggled to find tights that were big enough round the middle and thighs without being ridiculously long. Now I wear them whenever I like.
And the chub rub shorts have been fabulous this summer, much better than any I’ve had previously.

I don't like mine, they sag really badly at the ankles.

BuenoSucia · 20/08/2022 07:06

They are. We’ll all get accused of being shills shortly though. 😂 I’ve got a gargantuan arse and “sturdy thighs”, they properly fit without twisting or cutting me in half when I sit down. Don’t ride down and a good choice of colours.

I also noticed last week they’ve started doing gorgeous looking dressing gowns and I’m seriously tempted.

Thearex · 20/08/2022 07:08

Yes, they are.

I have a pair of tights which are great. Also, two pairs of chub rub shorts, which are the first ones that have ever fitted without riding up or being tight round my thighs.

DaisyWaldron · 20/08/2022 07:08

Mine do sag and wrinkle a bit, but I keep buying them anyway because they are very comfortable.

I am interested in these - how are they different to bog standard tights?

MrsElm · 20/08/2022 07:10

I have the tights. I like the colours and the quality. I did have to size down as they were too long for me! I am an apple with a tummy, but I am short, so had lots of wrinkles around the thighs.

FredrikaPeri · 20/08/2022 07:21

Yes.

If you're taller or a plus size they fit much better than your generic high street ones. Plus the quality is brilliant. They say you shouldn't tumble dry them but I do and you get no pulls or marks. All of mine from last winter still look as good as new. Definitely worth the money!

Lovely thanks!

Best fitting tight I've ever had

ApolloandDaphne · 20/08/2022 07:40

I love mine. The chub rub shorts have been a game changer this summer. I've loved being able to wear dresses with no chaffing.

RuthW · 20/08/2022 07:40

Yes - I won't wear anything else now

AntennaReborn · 20/08/2022 07:42

Not tried them for myself but bought DD11 some to wear with a costume for a series of shows. She had to put them on and take them off super quickly between sets, had to do the splits and all sorts, she paid no attention and was pulling at them with her nails etc and the tights are still in pristine condition.

I have to say I am massively impressed and will definitely be getting her school tights from there from now on. And probably some for myself too

SudocremOnEverything · 20/08/2022 07:42

I hate them. Baggy at that ankles. Even in the smallest size.

TheProvincialLady · 20/08/2022 07:42

No I really disliked the 3 pairs I bought. They sagged and I had really baggy ankles by the end of the morning.

I like them, but then I've never found a pair of tights in any other brand that fit by any measure of the word.

I am tall (5ft 10) but have really really fat legs (lipoedema). Other tights were never long enough in the leg and the ones that were long enough didn't go round my thigh/calf.

Good choice of colours and designs too.

Tortycats · 20/08/2022 07:48

Also not a fan anymore. bettertights.com are better quality.

rocketfromthecrypt · 20/08/2022 08:06

They're brilliant. I wouldn't buy any other tights now if I could avoid it. They do a pale nude (great for my milk bottle legs), last very well, wash perfectly. They're more expensive than a lot of tights but you don't have the additional cost, inconvenience and waste of having to replace them as frequently so a winner all round.

hp2 · 20/08/2022 08:14

Yes I think they are. Sizing for less curvy a bit odd though. I gotA/B as I am 5ft 6 size 10 and they kept falling down. Contacted customer services who suggested to try a C. They are great and I can wear all day with having to hoik up! They aren’t super tight like some other 100d tights which I think makes them comfier for all day wear.
I wear the chub rub shorts not to avoid rub but for extra warmth under lightweight dresses.

DigitalGhost · 20/08/2022 08:17

Absolutely worth it. I can never find tights that don't fall down and I'm not exactly a giant at 5'8. These fit so well

oviraptor21 · 20/08/2022 08:17

What are they like for smaller sizes?
