Are there any tips to keeping tights from getting stupid little runs and tears?

Replies katjassidekick Posted at 6:24 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 I suggest: - buying ones that are thicker. - no contact with any sharp object or the like - if they run, you're better off throwing them out Scottish Gal Posted at 1:43 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 I went through so many tights before I realised my bloody legs were too long! mycuteFIEND Posted at 1:39 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 Quote: from Scottish Gal at 1:26 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 Do you have long legs? Maybe the tights aren't long enough. Hairspray stops them running more. Try a different brand. That might be it! Yeah, I bought some new ones, they're okay so far but it's only been the first time I've worn them. If they start to do weird things, I'll try hairspray.

No, I wear them under dresses and skirts so I won't freeze in the winter. gore Posted at 4:34 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 do you wear tights as pants? mycuteFIEND Posted at 4:27 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I clip my nails, buy expensive tights, and no, I don't pull on them. Maybe its the way I put them on. Wolfgirl12 Posted at 4:25 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Also, dead skin on your feet can cause runs and such, so either use lotion on your feet or using something to get rid of the dead skin may help as well Randomaster Posted at 4:24 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Nails rip em and dont do shit that scrapes your legs :P fullmooncurse Posted at 4:21 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Fingernail polish gore Posted at 4:21 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 this can be a sign 0h h3ll n0 Posted at 4:20 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Quote: from blackbandaid at 12:19 am on Dec. 4, 2008 Trim nails. Put nail polish around any little snares to prevent further damage. I've heard that works. Usually I find its the cheaper tights that will get ladders. Wolford tights are expensive but really good quality and more comfortable. Rebecca li Posted at 4:19 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Don't wear them? Don't pull on them too much. I really don't know, cause mine never run. But I would assume pulling them up to far would cause them to run. Most recent 15 of 21 previous replies displayed.
