I dont know if any one can help or not, but my zip on two pairs of jeans have become very stiff (and before anyone says it I hav'nt gained any weight, but I have lost a wee bit lol), does any one have a cure for this ????
Thank you, Jodi

I have winzip on my computer which zips and unzips thing.
But I don't think it's going to be much use in this case.

'Draw' on the zip teeth with an ordinary lead pencil, that's supposed to help.Herman - MP for all!

Rub the zip with either soap or a candle, taking care not to transfer either to the fabric of the jeans.Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac

Try rubbing some furniture polish on the teeth, that should help.

Try some WD40?"One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -

This should definatly work, ive tried it before, just rub the teeth of the zip all over with the pencil, and it should run up and down without any probs!!!0 -
Candle wax works best in my opinion! One of my Nan's remedies, so tried and true!GC Oct £387.69/£400, GC Nov £312.58/£400, GC Dec £111.87/£4000
