Im havin a real prob finding stockings that i feel comfortable wearing as i have quite large thighs. I dont like to feel my thighs bulging over the top of them and it certainly doesnt make me feel sexy!
If anybody can help me out will be very greatfull xxx

John Lewis do too... only just make sure you know how expensive before you get to the counter so that when they ring up 21 quid for one pair of stockings you don't nearly die of heart failure! redface
... and have an excellent 'fuller figure' section ...
is the site that I use for my thunder thighs :thumbup:
Try stockings HQ. I have triangular shaped legs and they have some fab stockings on there. Their stockings are mosty the traditional nylon "non stretch" and are "volumetric" so if you have long slim legs they come high up the thighs but if you're legs are shorter and wider they wont come up to high.
I have a 10.5 or an 11 as my feet are broad, and Im 5 ft 4 inches tall and I find that the Gios especially come very high up my thigh.
Every now and again stockings hq have seconds on sale at a fraction of the price. Obviously they arent perfect but they are a very good way of finding a make you like at a good price, for example Gios are usually about £14 a pair but their seconds are about £5 so an absolute bargain.
Have a look and see how you get on. There is a forum and gallery too and if i find a "larger" woman on there wearing a pair of stockings I like I email them and be cheeky asking where they got them from! Ive never had anyboy call me a cheeky mare or be anything less than helpful.

I buy all of mine form stockinghq, they have really good sizes, even come up my festively plump thighs
Try a search on ebay for 'plus-size' 3X stockings. Mme Smooth is in a similar position. Reasonable choice and very good value. Also good delivery.

ann summers ex l seem to fit my tree trunks! they are very long so hide the bulgy bit!
i agree with choochie, ann summers xl are great for larger ladies. thought it was only me who had this problem!
Ann Summers' ones are too short for me and my amplitude!
Another vote for stockingshq, although M&S x-large are good according to jewl.
thanks everyone for your suggestions.
Im 5ft8" so quite tall also, which doesnt really help, i have in the past bought tall/fuller figure, but i dont think they cater for both at the same time! lol

The make Levee does cater for both at the same time...
And surely this thread should have photos ... what's happening to this place?! wink
I wear DIM Ups which I buy from french supermarkets, they go up to size 4 (shoe size 41) They have a very deep sticky band at the top so no overflow lol
would put a picture in here but can't work out how to do it redface banghead :fuckinghell: :giveup:

I can recommend the levee ones, got them from a seller on ebay for about £7, I've got very large thighs and these stockings can be had in sizes to fit up to about a dress size of 30/32 so plenty big enough for most folks (and me :twisted: )
Hope you get sorted smile
marks and spencers i found are the best altho its a few years since iv bought or worn any cus i dont like them much
I was a bit disapointed with M and S very expensive - and too short (and I have short stumpy legs). I always buy hold ups and use suspenders - they kind of stay up better than normal stockings.

Strange ... I love M&S hold-ups and didn't think they were too expensive at I find the nice deep lace band with stay-put silicon makes them comfy to wear all night. I've bought XL but found they come up to my groin (I'm short and a size 24)and consequently found I can get away with a L. I think the only thing to do is to try a few different ones as people are definitely having a variety of experiences.

isnt it strange how things vary on different people smile
im short (5ft 5in at most) and fat (size 18 - 20) and i find marks and sparks fit well, if anything they are to long for me !
altho to be fair its probably 3 years since i bought any !
Ann Summers XL for me! Their fish nets are great for big thighs too!!
Mind you, I picked up some hold ups in ASDA and they were basic but fitted well and stayed up.

And ello you too smile Hope you're doing ok, far too long no see!!
I know what you mean about the stockings, there's always that lovely flattering moment when they start to roll down and then the Nora Batty impression begins - its hard enough to play sexy when trussed up in sussies and a smile without that happening lol
"I know what you mean about the stockings, there's always that lovely flattering moment when they start to roll down and then the Nora Batty impression begins"
You need to get yourselves a good suspender belt ladies with at least 6 straps on but if you have larger thighs like me I would recommend 8. They keep your seams in line beautifully and will stop the roll! Dont worry about the wrinkly ankles, I have it on good authority from an avid stocking fan (or two) that this is indeed very sexy!
Find some stockings you like and enjoy, its sooo much nicer than wearing tights!
I came into this thread hoping for pictures.
