Tights

How to you keep your tights from snagging and laddering? I must be missing something, I daren't get dark ones as they snags show just from where I'm putting them on so I'm stuck with the paler ones.

I put hand cream on my hands when I put them on but seem to be naturally clumsy!

I find that if my tights are too small then they barely last a day. I'm not saying go around looking like Nora Batty but I find if I buy a slightly larger size then they seem to last longer, and I'm less likely to put my finger through them when I'm putting them on. I also find cheaper tights last longer than dear ones (although that's probably just sod's law) and although they say don't wash them with fabric conditioner I always do and it doesn't seem to make much difference.

I also don't wear much jewellery and keep my nails fairly short, which helps. And I try not to put them on in a rush

Slightly larger size, different brands/ denier, make a fist when putting one hand inside, switch to hold ups so you only waste one leg!

hold ups on fat thighs - not a good look! I look like a (short) string of sausages! :rotfl:

I always wash mine inside out in a laundry bag, as this saves them from snagging too.

Wear a pair gloves when you're putting them on. The type you get with hand cream 'put gloves on overnight' type sets work perfect!
