Plus Size Stay-Ups for Women

Plus size stay-ups for women: a secure hold without digging in

Glamory is the online shop for tights, stay-ups and stockings in mid size and plus size, EU sizes 40 to 62 (M to 4XL). Our stay-ups are cut for fuller thighs: wide lace tops with double silicone strips stay securely in place without constricting.

What are stay-ups?

Stay-ups reach up to the thigh and stay in place without a suspender belt. Silicone strips on the inside of the top band grip the leg. They are the airy alternative to tights, especially on warm days or under figure-hugging dresses.

Why Glamory stay-ups fit curves

• Double silicone strips: the wide lace tops have double silicone strips on the inside and stay securely in place, even on fuller thighs.
• No digging in at the thigh: the bands and stockings are designed for fuller thighs and don't constrict.
• From mid size to plus size: every style comes in sizes 40–42 to 60–62, i.e. M to 4XL.

Which stay-ups are right for you?

• Sheer, 20 denier: Allure 20, Comfort 20 with a wide lace top, Deluxe 20 with an extra-wide lace top, or Couture 20 with a seam and Cuban heel.
• Patterned: Honey 30 with a honeycomb pattern and Dune 50 with an argyle look.
• Opaque, 60 denier: Micro 60 in warm microfibre for cooler days.
• With support: Vital 40 and Vital 70 give your legs gentle support.

Care tip: how to make the silicone bands last

To help the silicone strips grip well, don't apply body lotion to your thighs before wearing them, otherwise the silicone becomes slippery. Wash your stay-ups on a delicate cycle in a laundry bag and without fabric softener.

Which size do I need?

Use our size calculator: enter your height and weight to find your size instantly. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one so the silicone band stays put without digging in.

Stay-ups for fuller thighs

Many women have given up on stay-ups because the band slips or constricts. Our top bands are wider and have double silicone. This spreads the pressure over a larger area, and the stocking stays where it should. You'll find more tips in our guide Tights for fuller thighs.

FAQs about plus size stay-ups

Do stay-ups slip in plus sizes?
Not if you have the right size. The double silicone band stays securely in place, even on fuller thighs. The key is dry skin without body lotion, as described in the care tip.

Stay-ups or tights?
Stay-ups are airier because your tummy stays free and nothing presses at the waistband. Tights are warmer and stay in place without a silicone band. For warm days and special occasions, stay-ups are the more comfortable choice.

Which colours are available?
The classics in Black, Make up and Teint, plus Champagne, White and Red. Some styles come with a contrasting lace top.

Are there seamed stay-ups?
Yes, the Couture 20 with a seam and Cuban heel.

Are stay-ups suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. For long days on your feet, the support stay-ups Vital 40 and Vital 70 are ideal.
