I bought some Jasper Conran holdups from Debenhams, with an extra length on the lace top holdup.

They look and feel fantastic, and a great fit

I've had from yours clothing and also George at asda and I've got really thunderous thighs.

Worst ones I had were leg avenue, I think you need to be extremely petite for them.

OP. What's the issue you are finding? Are they too short/long or just too small/big around the thighs?

there always too small round the thighs. Alot of ladies have said there a plus size dress size but they all seem to have smaller thighs.

Have started at the gym so hoping this will help

Ann Summers fishnet stockings (not holdups) - both std fishnet or lacy - hold up by themselves on chubby thighs. Brilliant!

My friend swears by hair spray for holdups...spray both the inside of the holdup and your thighs, but sounds too much of a faff to me.

For plain stockings, I use M&S and suspenders with multiple fasteners. Much more comfortable than those with just two.

Hope you find this useful

OP I bought some from marks and Spencer's. They were large in fact was too large for my thighs, which was a surprise to me. The first stockings which were extra large. Maybe try these. They were the fishnet ones.

Amazing.... the best I have had. They have a wide lace band and are very comfy.

Thank you. That is really nice of you to say. My weight seems to sit on my stomach area. But honestly the marks and Spencer's ones are plenty big. I have to use a suspender belt to keep them up as although they are too big I love em!

I have the opposite problem as I am very petite so they fall down if too big..even the small size. So far, Ann Summers are the best for me and always fit well but would be good to know if anyone can recommend some others that are for slim girls.. x

M&S lace top hold ups are great. I'm a size 18/20 and 5'7 and the large size are plenty big enough. I've had several pairs over the years. I do wear them with suspenders though and not just on their own as they still roll down.

I;ve also had a few pairs of Love Honey lace top fishnets too. They're always too long but being fishnets that's not a problem.

I recently purchased these too and can't praise them enough. Wore them for a whole day and I swear they didn't move!

I don't like hold ups and tights, and wear stocking with a good quality suspender instead.

Cheap suspenders are badly made and nasty, with plastic clips and thin straps.

Go for those on offer at Stockings HQ, with thicker straps and metal clips.

Make sure you don't use a bath oil, moisurising shower gel or body.lotion.

Ann summers are generous.

And m and s.

And matalan

I can agree with the comments about Marks and Spencers. They're definitely the best I've found so far
