I HATE THEM! :mad: I have to buy size medium because I've got quite long legs - the small size would probably fit me apart from that - but then the waistband goes up so high it's practically on a level with my bra! And the waistbands are so uncomfortable, makes me feel fat and bloated Maybe it's because I buy cheap ones from the supermarket, can anybody recommend any that might be more comfortable to wear? (I'm just talking the nude, 10/15 denier ones to wear with work skirts - although I have the same problem with thicker denier black ones as well).

I find leg coloured tights to be the worst, so I usually just wear black. My favourite are thick woolly tights, for the winter only though or you end up overheating!
The best thing is you can splash out on a nice belt and make sure it fits you properly and it nice and comfortable. Then you just chop and change the stockings.
Although if ya wanna be reeeeeally porn starry go for the belt as well
Topshop tights are quite good as well as BHS and Asda. I tend to wear Topshop 80 denier ones, especially when it gets cold!
Tighten the suspenders? and the belt.
suspenders -to actually stay up - need to sit on your waist
stockingsHQ have cotton and wool stockings for cold winter days
or on top. Then the straps attach to the stockings. I cant really explain how they attach but once you see the its easy to figure it out.
You can also buy knickers with the straps on em but i've never tried em i always think they'll fall down unless theyre really elasticated or something
:yes: Same here. I think I'm going to invest in a belt and some stockings...and pray nobody in work ever notices
haha i sort of agree, i looove new look 120 denier tights. they are SO comfy and cosy, the waistband goes right up over my stomach but its not tight, sometimes i dont even want to take them off at night when i go to bed hehe.
120?? Wouldn't that just be trousers??
I wear 20/40 denier black tights... and the 40 are pretty thick....
What's like the highest denier?

Lol.... Just been on wikianswers and apparantly sockdreams is a good website for... you'll never guess... socks and tights.

I know I'm not THAT freakishly sized! :grump:
OOHH I know. I have to pull my tights up so high, like some people have already said. Either everybodies legs are the wrong size.... or the tight size's are stupid.

I only wear tights so I don't look tarty at school. But isn't 120 denier like leggins basically??

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten I'm still planning to go down the stockings route!
