Tights

[Passthecoffee]

Where are you buying tights that fit well, are comfy and stay up and secure over a tummy??

Snag tights are the best imo

Oh my god I hate tights.

BUT M and S ones are better this year than previous years I think. The 40 denier, 3 for £6 ones. Temperature regulating I think they’re called. They look very smooth and stay up and don’t pinch.

Primark and John Lewis

Snag tights, although it pains me to do so.

I won’t touch Snag because of their marketing style.

M&S Autograph Seam Free for me. No centre seam, so no line across the tummy, that looks like where the plaster cast mould was removed when you were made 😂.

A “practical” sized cotton gusset too, so knickers optional. They stay up better without as they adhere to the body, no double layering slippage. Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it!

Snag are a No for me too.

I also like the M&S temperature regulating ones, and they're really reasonably priced.

M&S keep falling down on me. I'm trying snag.

I go with the popsy tights. Similar to snag tights but without the weird marketing.

Another one saying snag. I’m really tall so tights have always been fairly impossible. I would say my snag tights are actually a little big but they still stay up!

Snag for colourful ones. Though tbh they're such good quality and wash well I haven't needed to buy any new ones for ages so no idea on their current marketing strategies!
Also Heat Holders thermal ones! Got to be branded though they're the only ones that go over my massive arse comfortably

Sainsburys ones are fine

I like White Stuff Patty tights - really comfy and stay up on me (am tall) - but I notice they've increased the price this year...as with most things :(

At risk of falling into a hole…what’s wrong with snag marketing…?

I would also add - absolutely do not bother with Heist tights. SO expensive. SUCH high expectations. SO uncomfortable.

Wolford. Always, always Wolford.

@gogohmm - agreed - Sainsburys ones are great. Primark opaques are good too.

I've never got the love for Wolford wool tights - just never worked for me.

Snag
H&M
White stuff

M&S Autograph here.

I'm very pleasantly surprised with my White Stuff Patty tights

Primark and M&S.
I bought several pairs of Snag off the recommendations I read on here and didn't find them good. They weren't a good fit, they laddered at the first wear and their tea coloured tights looked like geriatric travel support tights. So disappointing. Sad I wasted the money on them as they were rubbish.
