-- Posted by mycuteFIEND at 4:18 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I swear, I've had to buy three pair of black ones already. Are there any tips to keeping tights from getting stupid little runs and tears? -- Posted by Public Enemy 69 at 4:19 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Cut your toenails. -- Posted by blackbandaid at 4:19 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Trim nails. Put nail polish around any little snares to prevent further damage. -- Posted by Corrupted Innocence at 4:19 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Clear nail varnish, before it ladders further -- Posted by chelseamorgan at 4:19 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I need them too. For pantyhose, though. Try buying a thicker pair, maybe? -- Posted by Troll1000 at 4:19 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Always roll them down to the toe and then roll it up your leg. Check nails before putting them on. Buy more expensive/thicker ones, they last a hell of a lot longer -- Posted by radshelb at 4:19 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 i was so confused... "running tights!  wtf?"   -- Posted by Rebecca li 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. -- Posted by 0h h3ll n0 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. -- Posted by gore at 4:21 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 this can be a sign -- Posted by fullmooncurse at 4:21 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Fingernail polish -- Posted by Randomaster at 4:24 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Nails rip em and dont do shit that scrapes your legs :P -- Posted by Wolfgirl12 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 -- Posted by mycuteFIEND 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. -- Posted by gore at 4:34 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 do you wear tights as pants? -- Posted by mycuteFIEND at 6:29 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Quote: from gore at 4:34 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 do you wear tights as pants? No, I wear them under dresses and skirts so I won't freeze in the winter. -- Posted by neverjeeps at 8:59 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 don't scoot in them plz -- Posted by mycuteFIEND at 1:17 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 That was only one of them, the other two are just dumb. -- Posted by 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. -- Posted by mycuteFIEND 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. -- Posted by Scottish Gal at 1:43 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 I went through so many tights before I realised my bloody legs were too long! -- Posted by katjassidekick 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
