Tights are not one of those fashion pieces you typically associate with comfort. Let’s face it, no one has ever come in after a hard day, whipped off their bra, and decided to pull out an old pair from the drawer for the ultimate unwind. 

Yes, they can offer an extra layer of warmth and an easy way to hide the impressive amount of leg hair we can grow in winter, but from bunched up crotches to rolling waistbands that cut off your circulation and constant ladders, they can also be a right faff.

Enter Snag. The UK-based brand, which is female-owned, size-inclusive, and has a glorious selection of tights and chub rub shorts to keep you feeling stylish and sensational. Not a front bottom wedgie in sight.

Plus, the brand’s new line of tights and chub rub shorts is crafted from the world’s first Bionylon, called Nylon 11, which is made from Castor Oil. So they’re now sensational, stylish, and sustainable. Talk about a win-win.

The 80 Denier Castor Oil Tights are perfect for colder seasons, available in classic black, slate, navy, and a pop of bold colour with blood red.

While the Castor Oil Chub Rub Shorts are the ultimate defense against chafing. No matter how sweaty or sticky, they keep your thighs sliding smoothly like figure skaters on ice.

Castor Oil is a great planet-friendly option as the plants are a renewable crop and thrive in dry climates with little water and pesticides. They don’t compete with other food crops, so they’re also an efficient and low-impact resource.

But sustainability is not the only benefit of Snag’s new range. The tights and chub rub shorts still deliver the exact same softness and durability of the brand’s best-selling products, and also hold up well wash after wash, without losing shape or finish.

While Snag’s new range is still fresh, their longstanding products have hundreds of glowing reviews. One of the biggest USPs is the inclusive sizing, which runs from a UK 4 to a 36. The tights are also sized for different heights, as well as features like a prominent bum or tum, to ensure the perfect fit.

‘These are definitely the best tights I have ever owned,’ Mrs K.H said in her review on the 80 Denier Aretha Tights. “Soft. Stretchy. Not too tight on the waist. Stay put. Couldn’t rave enough.’

‘The best tights ever, will never buy any other brand,’ Donna said in her feedback on the same product. ‘Comfortable and wash really well.’

As for the original Chub Rub Shorts, Jess branded them an ‘absolute game changer’, adding: ‘Why didn’t I buy these before?! Buy them, you won’t regret it.’

Well, it seems Snag’s new range really is a no-brainer. Sustainable, soft, and comfortable. 

These really are tights without a snag.
