| Isn’t it annoying when your nail pulls a thread in your favouote pair of tights - only to then discover that they’re longer being made! We want to make sure your hosiery lasts for as long as possible, so we’ve created a list of useful hosiery care tips. Sharp ObjectsTry to keep sharp edges out of contact from tights (e.g. chipped nails, rings, jewellery etc).Hosiery GlovesWe recommend wearing hosiery gloves when putting on your hosiery.

Hands should work from front to back of your leg, pulling each leg equally to stretch yarns simultaneously and ensuring a smooth appearance. Hosiery should be taken off equally gentlyStrengthCertain areas are particularly prone to accidents when putting on and wearing. These areas are frequently strengthened to extend the life of products for example reinforced toes and brief.MoisturiserUsing a moisturiser on both your hands and feet can stop your hosiery snagging on rough skin.Washing HosieryIdeally wash your hosiery by hand or an easy alternative is to wash by machine on a cool wash, in a hosiery washbag.
