I usually only wear hold ups for the bedroom and maybe 30min before getting there but I'd like to wear a pair for an evening out. I am paranoid they will fall down though.
Any tips for keeping them up? I do have some stayput gel stuff but haven't tried it yet. |

Never had a problem or had to use/add anything to make them stay up.
Find a brand that suits you and stay up and stick with them.
I wear hold ups 99% of the time as stockings do not stay in place! |

I've always struggled as I've big thighs, I was buying from Bondara and Ann Summers and spending a pretty penny on them. However I recently bought from Primark and they've stayed up all night, through clubbing and naughty fun afterwards. |

I wear them every day for work. Never have a problem with them. M and S ones are good. |

if holds up roll or fall down it usually means they don't fit right or they are old and the gels coming off in my experience 
I have found a pair of good fitting hold ups don't move at all
marks and sparks I swear by their's |

"Heading to M&S tomorrow then  Ihave Ann summers ones but I don't trust them lol x"
I've found Ann Summers ones tend to roll over at the top. The M and S fishnets are good and obviously don't ladder. The opaques are ok but I prefer the John Lewis ones for the elastic. |

You should only wear hold ups for a certain amount of time( cannot remember how long!), cos of health reasons ( but cannot remember what those were either!).
I had one lose its elasticity when I was on a date, but thankfully I had boots on so I waited for my date to go to the bar and discreetly rolled both down inside my boots . |

the best thing to use is a roll on type glue, you can get it off ebay. irish dancers use it to keep their socks up, and i guess with how their legs move about it will be good for licht stockings.
hope this helps x |

I've tried a pair of them and I must admit they were pretty comfy. BHS sell them x |

M&S, Asda, John Lewis.... I don't think it matters where they are from, I've never had the problem of them falling down.
As previously said by some, as long as they fit, you have washed them properly if they have already been worn........ and of course you have washed yourself properly! The gel needs to stick to something, so if it's sticking to a thin layer of skanky old dried surface skin... well some of you know the results. |

I wash mine by hand and don't use conditioner. Also as mentioned no moisturiser on the thigh.
I'm a size 8 but due to large thighs I always buy medium now. Matelans lace top black opaque are excellent and only £3. |

I would always say, first make sure you get the righ size, and second, make sure you follow the washing instructions, the silicone bands on hold ups will lose their hold over time anyway so don't expect more than a dozen or so uses, a good six strap suspender belt with metal clasps will make sure your stockings stay in place at all times, the cheap plastic clasps that are found on most modern lingerie are prone to failure.
My tip is to always buy 2 pairs of identical hold ups and put one in a small plastic bag in your purse in case of emergenices.

I wear Ann Summers ones and they stay up. Have to make sure all the band is completely flat against your leg, if one bit is curled over even slightly the rest is sure to follow. I used to worry about them but have worn hold ups for a night out many a time. |

"to get them to stay up I have to get them so tight I end up with a roll over lol or have to pull them right up xx"
The M and S fishnets aren't tight. It's the soft rubberised band at the top which does the trick. Really comfortable to wear. |

"If they start to slip then putting a little water on the silicon strip can help.
or moisturiser"
The oils in the moisturiser will negate the stickiness of the silicon and make them more likely to fall!  |

M and s XL will fit chunky tall thighs
Make sure they are tight up your thigh, not just over your knee...
Wearing boots and hold Ups means epic fall down potential..
