Tights and stockings may be a staple in every woman's wardrobe, but it not uncommon for them to tear and snag, leaving you short-handed on important occasions. Fret not, because the heartbreak of a snag or tear can be easily avoided with a few fool-proof steps. Here's how you can make your stockings last longer without tears and snags:
Go thickWhen purchasing tights, looks for material that is thicker and more durable. Pull the fabric while purchasing to check the thick, and if that isn't possible for some reason, check the denier count on the packaging. The higher the number, the less likely your tights are to rip. Roll them upIt is important to put on your tights the right way. Instead of pulling them up like regular pants, try scrunching them down first. Slide your legs in and gently roll them up. This technique reduces the risk of tearing, especially if you have hangnails. Wrap up the toesIf your toenails are long and sharp, wear no-show ballet socks beneath your tights. This simple step keeps your nails from coming into contact with the fabric, preventing damage. Gentle washingDo not throw these delicate tights into the washing machine. Always hand-wash them with care, using cold water and a mild detergent. Soak them briefly and then rinse without scrubbing. Clear nail polish is your saviourIf by chance you end up noticing a small tear in your stockings, don't panic. Applying clear nail polish over a tiny snag can help seal the fabric and prevent further unraveling. Allow it to dry completely before wearing. Moisturize Your SkinDry skin can cause friction against tights, leading to premature wear and tear. Before putting on your tights, apply a body lotion to your legs. This not only eases the process of wearing and removing tights but also minimizes the risk of skin irritation and damage to the fabric.You may also like
