Looking for clips to keep my tights from rolling down

My tights roll down all the time leaving me with a bulge of stomach popping out.
When I pull up the tights (control top) over my stomach it flattens my stomach and the clothes lay right.
What can I use to keep my tights from rolling down?
I’ve tried all different brands.
The only one that worked very well for me is discontinued.
Can I hook the top of my tights to my bra?
Any ideas?

Maybe wear something on top like a kvetcher
Aka corset?girdle? that's not too uncomfortable

I usually wear a light shaping garment over my tights. Nothing too constricting, but keeps everything smooth.

Not exactly this, but something similar.

Same, I wear Jockey skimmies to both hold up my tights, give a slightly flatter stomach look and reduce chub rub. They work great and are super comfy.

You can try going up a size. Sometimes if the tights are too short, they will roll down as the day progresses.

Thanks for the jockey skimmies suggestion. I’m looking at the choices and I don’t see options for ones that go high up over the stomach.
I kind of have an upper bulge which I want to flatten.

I’m very short and often the leg is too long. If I go up a size, the leg will probably be even longer.

Try the maternity ones then https://www.amazon.com/Jockey-.....r=8-5
I wear the regular ones over my stomach, they go pretty high up but I do size up in them as I like a little extra give.

No, maternity ones would not give stomach support.

That’s an interesting idea.. but I don’t think the safety pin is long enough. It would probably pop open from the pressure..

tights tend to roll down when they’re too small. Try the next size

I found these. I wonder if mitten clips would work too.

If it's rolling down that means you need the next size. Try one pair and see how it goes.

This is probably what I’m looking for but I’m in the USA.

Im assuming OP means that she pulls it up higher than usual over the stomach, Tights are not really meant for that, but it really helps, I do that as well. Going up in size is not a solution as the tights are the right size, going up in size will make the actual tights be too big.

OP correct me if I misunderstood what you meant.

Doesn’t hurt to try. Since tights are stretchy it can be hard to figure out exactly which size is the perfect sweet spot.

HipStik brand stockings are amazing, they don't roll down and are comfortable in the waist
