I've heard DKNY are good, but apperantly my size if off the chart!

I tried Berkshire & they fell down.

Victoria's Secret are good. But you can save yourself a little bit of cash and buy Hanes, they are the same.... at least they were when I worked there.

I tried special 'stay up' thigh highs for plus size (which I am). They came with that clear plastic stickum stuff like they put on bras. I couldn't even get them to stay on long enough for me to stand up. As soon as i move, they slowly start rolling down and cutting off circulation. Apparently my size must be off the chart also!

What brand were they?

I am thinking of trying the kind that attach to the garter straps. I tried them a long time ago, and they were weird, but stayed up.

I ordered them from LIngerieatLarge.com

Here's the info:

STAY-UP
NEW ITEM!!!!! 1022Q STAY-UP Thigh-High Sheer Nylon with Lycra stockings with Stay-up silicone backing & wide Stretch Lace band. This is an AMPLE and great fitting for full thighs! Comfortable up to 28' thigh and 6'! $12.00

I'm considering trying the suspender hose instead where the crotch is missing. My biggest problem is I don't want to have to be fighting with a dress AND pantyhose every time I have to go to the bathroom.

Re: need good thigh highs

that's a shame-they sounded perfect. I am not sure if I know what you mean by suspender hose.
ETA- I get it know-I saw it on the site- I won't post it- it's a little dirty.
