Has anyone ever bought from snag tights before?

Just placed my first order! Really hoping I'm going to receive some tights which don't fall down constantly or pull easily!

They don't catch and ladder in the same way as other tights too. And my toes haven't come through them yet. So actually works in cheaper than my normal new pair every time.

Their Facebook adverts are concerning. It looks like a weird fetish company

MariePaperRoses · 28/09/2023 23:26

No. I've had arguments with them
In Facebook and they blocked me because I objected to this insidious advertising of using transgender 'models'.

They also looked hideous on most of the people modelling them, transgender or not.

Been meaning to try them but unsure about sizing. I’m a 14-16, not sure whether to order 12-14 or 16-18? Can anyone advise?

I would go the 12-14. I am an 18 so chose 16-18 and they feel very generous.

I haven’t bought any of their tights but did buy a couple of pairs of their chub rub shorts last year. I tried them on straight away and one pair immediately got a massive ladder in them, I don’t know if there was a hole already or I just managed to put my finger through them.

I took a photo and emailed them asking if I could return them. They quickly replied saying that I didn’t need to return them but that they had already dispatched a free replacement pair. I have worn them many times since and they look as good as the day I got them. So I would recommend them just for their excellent customer service.

I bought the summer short ones but they were too hot for me. Too short for winter /too warm for summer. Quality was nice though.

Anontocomment · 28/09/2023 23:35

I live in mine. I'm 5'2"and in between, I could never get store brands that stayed put. Yes they are pricey but they just wash and wash. And their chubb rub shorts are a godsend. I've just ordered more in fact.

tangledearphones · 28/09/2023 23:37

I was also entirely underwhelmed by them. I spent the entire day pulling them up and never wore them again.

I've since stuck with M&S.

Heartofglass12345 · 28/09/2023 23:40

Yes, I'm short and very overweight and they fit me perfectly. I find with normal tights they are way too long.

Invisimamma · 28/09/2023 23:42

I have some snag tights that are about 7yrs old and still going strong (a bit bobbly on the heels). I recently bought more colours and the quality isn't as good and they do wiggle down, I'm really disappointed as my original pairs were so good.

TillyBilly29 · 28/09/2023 23:44

Fit really well, I have very long legs and all other brands just slip down all the time on ne. But they pull and ladder very easily, so I don't think they are very good quality for the price

thebellagio · 29/09/2023 07:38

I love their black opaques. But I will admit it took my ages to actually order from them because I genuinely thought they were a plus sized fetish site

EquallyDetermined · 29/09/2023 07:46

I bought some chub rub tights a few years ago which were amazing, then some more last summer, which just aren't as good, much less stretchy and a bit too tight despite being the same size, they seem thicker. I too have seen some dubious advertising and won't be ordering again.

SofiaBrownEyes · 29/09/2023 07:50

Their products are rubbish and ethos terrible.

Edited because troll hunting is against MN rules.

PosterBoy · 29/09/2023 07:53

Ordered some once and had to wait 12 weeks for delivery.
No updates from company or explanation given

Tights are average

NeedANewPhone1 · 29/09/2023 07:54

They're just tights. In ny experience the fall down/ladder like any others. They just cost more and run shit advertising campaigns - like this thread.

Lentilweaver · 29/09/2023 07:57

Could anyone suggest where else I can get colourful and durable tights? I am a tights newbie as I rarely wear dresses, but I have bought a few for autumn. I would like blue, green, burgundy....

Agree about their values.

SofiaBrownEyes · 29/09/2023 07:57

To answer your original question, sometimes there is an element of mid life crisis or temporary insanity. I think I read somewhere that traumatic events like child birth and bereavement, moving home or losing a job and hormonal or health changes like menopause or cancer can change your brain and the way you think about life, yourself and others... but some people have always harbored fantasies of cheating or had an underlying resentment and selfishness just some circumstances bring them to light.

Lentilweaver · 29/09/2023 07:59

@SofiaBrownEyes that got deep for a convo about tights! Wrong thread?

ChaToilLeam · 29/09/2023 08:03

I liked their tights and bought loads, but decided not to buy from them any more due to their pornified advertising and pushing of the trans agenda. A great pity. They never addressed any of my complaints about this.

Better Tights make similar products and don’t have a fetishist pleasing agenda.

It is relevant who you buy from. I'm sorry you find that too deep.

Lovetoridemybicycle · 29/09/2023 08:10

I have some tights and chub rub shorts that have lasted me years and still going strong. But I'm 6ft and size 24, so no tights available on the high street for me!
I'm not a very good repeat customer because of how long I've had them. However I would suggest sizing down if in-between sizes. Not sure I will go back given some of these comments

🤣🤣🤣 christ I'm so sorry yes wrong thread

Lentilweaver · 29/09/2023 08:11

My mistake @SofiaBrownEyes . Definitely puzzled what fantasises of cheating have to do with tights, but ok.

That's why I switched to Better tights too ⬆️.
