It’s really a matter of personal preference; our testers were mixed between liking the feeling of being held in vs. And the thick and stretchy waistband is compressive without being constrictive, hitting me just above my belly button (I’m 5’5”, for reference). There’s nothing worse than noticing a run on a new pair of tights, fussing with a waistband that just won’t stay put or pulling up sagging tights every few minutes.

Not only did we find them comfortable, but they also didn't fall while dancing all night — an ideal clubbing companion. One GH analyst noted that while the waistband offers some compression, it doesn’t feel as constricting as other tights she’s tried. Snag Tights range from a size 4 to 36 — and are made to fit both body shape and size, as well as height — with tight sizes ranging from 5'3 and under to 6'5.

I'm a materials scientist at the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab, and I've tested almost every kind of tights imaginable, from classic sheer and opaque options to fishnets and other colorful pairs.Seeing as the temperatures had just dropped in London when we tried these out, they were a real saviour.
