I want tights that dig in on the waist

[SuperGinger]

Please recommend some, I'm sick of falling down tights or rolling down tights because they have a soft waistband and I wasted my money on Snag which fell down after a few washes, m&s all sorts including the control tops etc. Please give me your best digger ins.

Snag dug into me - I binned them because of that! Gave me the most awful profile under dresses. And a sore stomach!!

Have you tried these? I'm not usually a tights fan as I hate pulling them up all the time but bought these before Christmas and never have to pull them up. Seem quite ladder resistant too which is a bonus..

I have tried those sadly two washes in they were started falling down

I use Tu secret shaper tights. Never had an issue.

M&s all the way. I buy the 3 packs for £8. Never rolled down on me

I’ve never found a pair that don’t roll down, but a second pair of knickers over the top is a game changer.

Have you tried buying a smaller size?

Heist are really good. Pricey but worth it! I have the 80 denier high waisted opaque and they’re great. I got the warmer ones but they rolled down and Heist gave me store credit which was good.
Or try control/slimming ones which have a good hold. I’ve bought John Lewis own or M&S body shapers I think they’re called.
The Pretty Polly control range were good but they are discontinued I think. Heist are a good replacement.
I’ve definitely tried a lot!

Or a larger size. That's where I had rolling down issues.

Second larger size - mine roll down when they're too small.

Heist are supremely comfortable and don't roll down. But for the price they don't last as long as I'd hoped. Mine have ladders after a few months. I don't wear tights that often so that was disappointing.

John Lewis - order big. Mine come up to my bra, no bumps

I second knickers on the top

Like others I only had problems when I.put on weight and kept buying the same size. When I went up a size they were perfect.

I find snag really comfy. M&S are fine too, especially now I've lost two stone.

Have you tried consuming 15,000 extra calories in the last fortnight? It’s worked amazingly well for me, pants and bra are also welting me nicely.

@noo 😂

@noooooooo yes same, I highly recommend it to ensure your bra and pants area still look like you're wearing them when naked despite having removed them several hours ago. Like magic.

Next ultimate comfort opaques don’t fall down. Don’t dig in either though.

John Lewis Velvet Touch dig in, to the point where I think twice before I wear them. They absolutely don’t fall down.

OP, l note your comments on M&S but these are in a different world! There are no seams and they have a “practical sized real woman shaped” cotton gusset, so knickers optional. If you wear them without knickers the top adheres to the body and no slippage.

I third black pants over tights. One of my favourite mumsnet tips from more than 5 years ago. Been doing it ever since. Comfortable, effective, also smooths over (some) of the bumps and lumps.

I fail to understand how 3 ultra tight layers round your crotch can be comfy.

Are you washing them with fabric conditioner? That might make them slip down.

Primark Body Shaper tights are the best tights I have ever worn. They pull up over the stomach, suck me in, and stay up all day. I’ve washed and washed them and they have remained in perfect condition. Only £5 a pair too.

Primark or George shaper tights.
