Tights vary in length, but often not by width, so it can be tricky to find a pair that fits and is comfortable without being too small and causing chafing, or being too big and falling down your legs when you walk. Snag Tights has burst onto the scene promising to change that, with size, height and weight-inclusive tights that actually fit, look great and last longer than your average pair. They also earned high scores in our stretch and recovery tests, so you can trust that they'll retain their shape after long periods of use.

However, we probably wouldn't choose to wear them if we're sitting down for dinner as the compression can feel restrictive.

If you are a person who wears the occasional—or frequent—skirt or dress, you don’t need me to spell out why having a pair of tights or pantyhose around as the weather gets colder is important.

If it's a hole that you're dealing with, then one of the best tips to stop it from running is to dab a bit of clear nail varnish onto the edge to 'seal' it. 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. When washing tights, you can also place them into a delicate bag or pillowcase, to avoid tearing them.I asked for more information on the exact type of polymer—was it Kevlar, which, according to the Polymer Database, is used for bulletproof vests?
