Are there any good alternatives to Snag for tallish and chubby women?

Thanks

I find that heist are good, but rather pricey.

Problem with Primark is the 90 minute round trip, and about as long in the queue! I will make the effort though if they are good. Is the body bit long?

I mean "wooly" tight btw.

Better tights are pretty good

Just had a delivery from better tights that I've worn for work this week, pretty happy with them, great fit, comfy, didn't fall down, but yet to see how they wash.

I buy Next Ultimate Comfort tights. They fit my 35” inside leg and pull up to my bra, super comfy. Wash well too.

What's wrong with Snag tights?

Terfosaurus · 26/01/2024 19:31

I'm sticking with Snag. No where else has short length tights.

I have a pair of snag merino wool tights, I'd love another pair but don't want to buy from snag. If anyone has any recommendations for merino tights I'd love to know.

They ones im talking about are 40/80/100 denier shaping tights so yeah thick ones .

Tesco are pretty good too

SauvignonBlanche · 26/01/2024 19:36

I ordered from https://www.bettertights.com/ on Saturday, they were cheaper than Snag.

They arrived on Wednesday and I gave a test drive at work today, they were even better than Snag for fit and comfort.

I’ll see how they wash but I’m happy so far.

I like Gipsy tights, as they have amazing high waisted that don't cut in

Falke are the crème de la crème, I had a pair that lasted 10 years. Spendy, naturally.
