Boring but tights!

6 replies

helpyhelperton · 25/12/2022 20:41

I have a bloated stomach due to IBS and find any high waisted waistbands very uncomfortable. I have found a couple of brands with wider waistband but they're not thick enough.

Can anybody recommend a make of tights that do a high denier and are comfy on the waist?

I thought about getting maternity but they can be tight on the waist too (but roomy in the tummy).

Thanks!

They are expensive but I love snag tights. They fit brilliantly and you can buy different sizes etc by using their guide. I love their chub rub tights too.

Another vote for snag tights, not the cheapest but excellent! I'm a size 20 with a fairly large tummy and find normal tights just roll down at the waist or dig in and make me look bigger than I am.

Snag are a game changers! The sizing is a little odd it's in numbers I think I take an e or and f.

I have their footless black tights for every day wear eg with boots and dresses and their chub run shorts for the warmer months

Not Snags, they fall down. ‘Better Tights’ really are better!!

Snag. They recommend you buy your normal size or go up a size in pregnancy they are that stretchy!

You buy in height and dress size and body shape (curvy/straight)

The waist band come up to my bra and I love it Grin

Three pair last me a year and they only wear out at the thigh rub are.

Yes, I'd stay away from Snag, mine are constantly falling down. Not a good look!

Wow I have exactly the same issue with the bloating and never come across anyone else with it! Makes clothes buying so difficult (any recommendations for jeans, trousers or skirts?!

back on track, I have the low rise tights from heist. I just roll the waistband down more if needed.
