How to Fix Ripped Pantyhose or Stockings in Two Minutes

How to Fix Ripped Pantyhose or Stockings in Two Minutesthumbnail
Carry fast-drying clear nail polish whenever you wear pantyhose.

Ripped pantyhose or stockings can ruin the best outfit. Be prepared to stop the rip before it runs with fast-drying clear nail polish. The nail polish will bind to the sides of the hole, preventing more unravelling. The fast-drying polish will cut your repair time to two minutes or less so you don't have to miss much of your activity wrestling with your hosiery.
