There's nothing as frustrating as pulling on your last decent pair of panty hose and discovering that they're trashed. With panty hose, like everything else, becoming more expensive all the time, you may want to try some of these tips to get the leg work out of yours.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Your panty hose will last longer if you freeze them when they're new. Wet them, wring out excess water, and put them in a plastic bag in the freezer. When you know you're going to need them, thaw them out and let them dry.
Step2
Lightly starch your panty hose before you put them on. They go on much easier and they resist runs.
Step3
To stop a run, rub it with wet soap.
Step4
If you snag your panty hose, or you notice a small run, spray it with hairspray to keep it from becoming worse.
Step5
That popular old trick of dabbing clear nail polish on a run still works!

Tips & Warnings

  • Hand washing is better for panty hose than machine washing.
  • You may want to label the plastic bags of panty hose in your freezer.
