In which Geraden gives a tip for not getting tights in a twist.

Most men have surprisingly pale legs. Bare legs are actually noticeable for this reason. So the advice is to wear tights of a shade darker than your natural skin tone. (tip)

In my experience the two most likely places that tights are likely to ladder are the toe and the heel. The answer to this may be to invest in a pair of 'footsies'. These are usually invisible with shoes, because they are wholly inside the shoe. (tip)

So here is a very simple tip to save tights. Cut off the laddered leg just below the reinforced panty and save the undamaged leg and panty until you get a ladder in another identical pair. (tip)

There is no nicer sight in a garden than a washing line of hosiery drying in the sun. But what happens when the wind springs up? The tights legs get all tangled up around each other and around the line. (tip)

Use a hosiery wash bag to protect your sheer tights in the wash. (tip)

Wearing tights and a leotard in bed has several advantages. Besides providing warmth, this nightwear solves the problems of binding on the bedclothes and of riding up. (tip)

To stop ladders (runs) in sheer hosiery, a less unsightly solution than pink nail varnish is to use an aerosol spray that glues the fabric together. Artist's fixative is a cheaper alternative to purpose-made ladder stopping products. (tip)

Men have longer and thicker leg hair than women. If women feel a need to remove leg hair when wearing hosiery, then men need to do so even more, and for the same reasons. (tip)
