Tights Problems – Ladders and Waistbands
Tights of a low denier are of a delicate nature, meaning that you need to watch out for a number of problems that you most likely will encounter with them. Read on for a few tips to counter a couple of the common problems faced.
• How to prevent the waistband of your tights from rolling down?
The dilemma of the waistband of tights is quite infuriating. Too tight, and it causes discomfort. Too loose, and it could fall down. Its constant shifting means that it is highly unlikely to be at it original place by the day’s end.
One obvious way of prevention is to purchase the right size, which is harder than it sounds. Ones that fit in the leg could probably not fit the waist. However, ensuring that you find the right size will help in keeping the tights in place and having comfort.
• How to prevent snagging when putting on tights?
Due to their delicate nature, especially when using thin tights, there is a need to exercise caution when putting on or taking them off. One slight snag can end up in an un-repairable tights ladder, which is worse in feeling when the pair is new.
Having shorter nails that have been filed down is one of the best ways to prevent snagging your tights.
Should you wish to retain your long nails, then wear rubber gloves when putting on your tights. These help create a barrier between the two surfaces, while maintaining the ease of wearing the tights. Be prepared; keep an individual pair of gloves in your hosiery drawer for this purpose.
So, there are ways of preventing a couple of the common problems faced with wearing tights. Choose the right size and exercise care. Follow these tips, and you can keep your tights comfortable and snag-free for a long time.
