Non Nora Batty tights

I’ve tried Primark’s 120 denier and they’re usually grand but I ended up with them bunched around my ankles and the crotch between my knees.

I don’t want to spend €€€ on tights unless they’re recommended.

Help a girl out 😁

Are you wearing the right size?

MrsJPBP · 12/10/2025 20:17

Snag tights, they never fall down in my experience!

Are you wearing the right size?

I’ve tried L and XL as a size 16. I have a classic pear shape.

They’re so spendy I’ve been scared of trying and failing 😂

I second Snag tights. They seem expensive but they last forever.

MrsJPBP · 12/10/2025 20:27

I know they’re more expensive than other brands but absolutely worth it - never ladder, never fall down or go baggy, wash well, comfortable. YoI’ll never go back!

imnotwhoyouthinkiam · 12/10/2025 20:31

I love my snags. I've tried other brands such as Better and Popsy, but Snag are the best. Partly because I'm so damn short and they do short length. Only in some sizes though. Thankfully mine is one of them.

Doggymummar · 12/10/2025 20:31

I bought 10 pairs from socks shop this year. Very pleased

lifeonmars100 · 12/10/2025 20:39

Another vote for Snag, I had all but given up with tights, I am long bodied, flat belly but short legs and tights with the length to reach my waist were baggy on my legs. Snag cost but they really changed my life, I had just about stopped wearing dresses in the winter because of wrestling with tights.

Amiable · 12/10/2025 20:53

Snag. Definitely! They last years, wash so well - no bagging, no digging in - I haven’t bought another brand of tights for about 4 years now and all my Snags are still good as new. They might seem a bit spendy, but for cost per wear, they are absolutely worth every penny. I usually buy a few pairs in their sales every year, and have about 40 pairs in all different colours and patterns now!

IAmClemFandango · 12/10/2025 21:02

Another vote for Snag.

I am 5ft7 and size 16. I hate tights because they make my legs itchy as as soon as I can "feel" them I want to rip my skin off. Ive got Popsy tights but Snag are honestly the best tights ever. They last forever and I dont get the itchy leg thing.

I am a similar size to you and wear a size E. They laat forever as well - Ive just thrown out pairs I bought 5 years ago.

Doyouthinktheyknow · 12/10/2025 21:05

I like the thermal tights from M&S, they don’t seem to bag at the ankle and they stay put. They are comfortable and really warm.

I used to love snag tights but don’t love their advertising style these days and I tend to go for more muted colour tights now for work so M&S is a solid option for me.

Whowahway123 · 12/10/2025 21:06

Another snagger.
long bodied tights always rolled down - never with snag.
measure yourself & go from there. Even if you buy one pair from snag direct to get sizing perfect, then can buy on vinted / ebay unopened pairs

PegDope · 12/10/2025 21:40

Thank you all for your fabulous recommendations.

I shall try snag 🙌🏻

Thanks for this thread! At 5'3" with short legs i always struggle with tights so I've just ordered 3 pairs from Snag in black, brown and burgundy. I hope they live up to the hype.

PegDope · 13/10/2025 09:35

Glad to help @keepincool Ive just ordered two pairs. Builders Tea to help with the corned beef legs and black.

I have high hopes 👌🏻

I might look into snag tights. I am a size 16-18 and often I will buy XXL or XL and they cut me up around the belly. Drives me insane. I don't seem to have a problem on the legs, but occasionally they come up sooooooo high I can tuck my nipples in.

namechange3005 · 13/10/2025 10:01

Yet another vote for snag. I’d given up on tights before I tried them! They last forever.

Please report back!😉 Im very curious about the builders tea tights as I hate getting my bare legs out.
Although TBH I use Primark tights and have never had a problem with them falling down (maybe its a body shape thing?).

Achewyhamster · 13/10/2025 10:06

Snag are amazing tights but I dont agree with their 'men can become women' politics and them selling 'choke me' and 'cum slut' badges

I tried better tights (same price) and they are just as good

Their chub rub shorts are amazing too-i live in them

Initially I filtered my search to 'brown 80 denier tights' but only a pair of light'ish brown ones showed up. When I searched under 'new in' I found a dark brown pair called 'Bear' which was exactly what I was looking for - it's worth expanding searches if anyone is looking for a particular shade.

Janet - Size F

80 Denier Tights - Bear

Get cosy in our Bear tights. A wonderfully deep, warm chocolate brown in our super soft, opaque 80 denier fit. Guaranteed not to roll, sag, or pinch.

Pickledpoppetpickle · 13/10/2025 12:54

I am a recent snag convert. I tried one pair first. I will never go back. Worth the money. They do quite good discounts when you buy a number of pairs at a time but just start with one and see how you go.

I must admit, the BDSM / sultry siren vibe from some of the pics is a bit off putting.

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 13/10/2025 13:18

Snag again!

TokenGinger · 13/10/2025 13:45

I can see you’ve already gone for Snag, but I’m just here to give them another vote. I have two pairs purchased in 2021, and they’re still going strong. I have 3 pairs of the chub rub shorts too which I also love!
