High rise tights, not too tight around waist, good quality

After recommendations please, I can’t wear anything too tight round the waist and the m&s ones are extremely tight tights! Don’t mind spending a bit more, as long as they are comfy. Thanks!

Snag. I know a lot of people don't like them because of their marketing, but the rights are so comfy and wash really well.

RIPVPROG · 07/02/2025 19:28

Agree with the above I hate their marketing but their tights are the best I've found, they are comfy the waist bashing doesn't dig in, they come up nice and high, don't sag or ladder I wear tights for work most days in the winter and they've been a game changer

PinkTonic · 07/02/2025 19:29

Heist. Far superior to snag and without their offensive ethos

LittleRedRidingHoody · 07/02/2025 19:29

Snag, I've tried most at this point and they're the only ones I like!

NotMeNoNo · 07/02/2025 19:29

Same here, my Snag opaque tights are the ones I wear most, had them 3 or 4 years though but hopefully they haven't changed. Heist are often recommended here too.

I don’t like their marketing either, but my snag tights fit so much better in the ways you want them to than my M&S tights.

Kuretake · 07/02/2025 19:33

Same! On all counts. Not a fan of their website but love Snag's tights.

Moier · 07/02/2025 19:36

I'm disabled ( loads of pain).. l can't praise Snag tights enough.
I also wear the snag bras.
I have loads of surgery scars that can get sore... but these are a game changer

Thanks all, really helpful. Off shopping!

Another one saying Snag
I've also tried Better and Popsy, both of which are far too long for me. But if you're a fairly normal size and height they might be OK

scandalot · 07/02/2025 20:08

Heist get my vote. Really comfy, long lasting and no offensive marketing.

Higglepigglewiggle · 07/02/2025 20:10

Heist if you can afford them. Snag if not!

Thanks. Do you find Heist tight round the waist? Don’t mind paying for ones that will last and not give me bellyache!

No, not tight at all, but also don’t fall down! They don’t have the waist band like normal tights, they are just lovely and stretchy.

Kuretake · 07/02/2025 20:23

I found Heist didn't last well but maybe I was unlucky. They were very comfy but washed badly for me.

Snag 100%

Forgive my ignorance but what is offensive about their marketing?

Doggymummar · 07/02/2025 20:25

I wear heist for fleshies and Amazon ones for opaques

Using trans people and selling mens period pants for two

Ah ok!

I haven’t noticed any of that, I’ve used snag since they started and always buy the same stuff so have never ventured that far into their website or marketing.

ChangingHistory · 08/02/2025 00:26

Another for snag. I was apprehensive because the initial impression of the site is plus size and sexy and I am neither but they do have standard tights and they are brilliant.

I didn't notice the trans stuff so it can't be too obvious. I did buy my son two pairs of 100d tights though (he's a shorts whatever the weather man and LOVES colour) and they're stretchy enough to fit so if it just 'our tights fit men too' I agree and don't see an issue.

Ohshutupcolinyoutwat · 08/02/2025 03:43

Also Snag. I'm a nurse and only wear dresses I got so sick of constantly hoicking up my rights all shift but snag don't budge at all. Have been buying them for a fair few years now and wouldn't go anywhere else.
