Stockings and Tights That Last Longer

Tights are a fantastic invention of 1959, created in the United States. They come in many types and colors. There are even some types of hosiery that take care of cellulite, relaxing massage, suitable for all uses and all types of leg. They have only one defect: they are extremely delicate. Who has not ever put on her stockings to find a snag or a run? Virtually they are caused by, just a fingernail or a ring, and the damage is done! That's why, in this tutorial, I want to teach you how to prevent stretch marks of stockings and tights, using the simple methods, which will decrease the fragility of the hosiery.

Usually the run or snag occurs while the stockings and tights are worn, so I suggest you remove any rings that  you have in your fingers and check that your hands and nails are manicured and smooth, and even those of the feet. To work around this problem, you can make use of gloves. Roll your stocking leg up to the tip and then un-roll it gently over the entire leg. If done properly, it does not allow the stocking to run. To wash we recommend washing by hand, without rubbing directly with soap, or if you just want to use the washing machine, armed with a special bag for delicates, and predispose a gentle cold wash.

To dry stockings and tights, you should never squeeze, but dab gently. In addition, to avoid drying in direct heat, because otherwise it will ruin the fiber. Another trick, which avoids, or at least reduces the possibility of stretch marks, is the use of laundry stiffener. Before wearing sprinkle well and it will be much easier to fit in them without creating problems.  

These are just some of the ways you can avoid runs or snags on stockings and tights, but  the most effective method is to freeze them.

Make sure you have at hand: gloves and freezer bag

To implement this method, you must get a  freezer bag from  and make some space in the freezer. First of all wet the stockings and tights. Let them drain well squeezing gently. Finally, place them in the plastic bag, you are going to put in the freezer. Leave them for a day or so, after which, you can remove them from the bag, insert them in a bowl with hot water and dry them in the shade. This method is very effective and completely prevents the breakage of the hosiery. When the stockings and tights are dry  before wearing them, sprinkle some laundry stiffener on the most delicate parts, like the toe and the heel.

Concluding, never forget: 
 Beware of nails and rings or bracelets Wash stockings and tights by hand and squeeze gently Never let them dry near heat sources. Only after taking these precautions you can say The Quest for the Ideal Fashion Hosiery is complete
