HOLD UPS

Why Hold Ups?
Hold Ups are a fantastic alternative to tights. They are just as sexy as stockings, but you do not need a suspender belt to wear them. They are cooler during the summer than tights and are absolutely nuisance-free to wear (when they are put on right).

How They Work
Hold ups are kept in place by a combination of a silicone band and elasticated top. If correctly selected for size and put on properly, there should be no risk of them falling down.

The Perfect Fit
It is important to get the right size hold ups for you. All MyTights.com products come in two or more sizes. When wearing hold ups ensure that the lace band fits snugly but not tightly onto your leg. The lace should be positioned mid-thigh for maximum comfort and fit.

Putting on
Avoid body lotions, talcum powder etc. as these hinder the effectiveness of the silicone grip, and your hold ups could slip out of position. (Similarly when washing, use of fabric conditioners is not recommended).

Turn the top of the hold up over so it is not touching your leg until it is in position, then flip up and smooth onto your leg (i.e. the silicone does not come into contact with the skin until in correct position).

Tip : If you want to wear hold ups on your wedding day, it is a good idea to test them first. On your wedding day you are likely to apply loads of moisturiser, and be hotter than normal due to nerves and the number of layers under your dress (both can reduce the efficacy of the silicone).
