No More Ladders! This Tip Promises To Make Your Tights Last That Much Longer

With the start of September, we’re noticing a chill in the weather, which means no more bare legs.

While we love our tights, we’re not such a fan of ladders and pulled threads, which usually leaves us in the queue at the tills in Penneys.

So now there’s a trick that promises to save you a small fortune – by making your tights super strength and (nearly) ladder resistance.

So how do you get the most out of those nylons?

Run your tights under a cold tap until they are soaked through, and then rinse out in the sink.
Place the wet tights into a sandwich bag (or a plastic carrier bag if you’re planning on bulk strengthening), and place them in the freezer for three hours.
Finally, remove the tights and allow them to thaw at room temperature.

While it probably won’t make them last forever, it will give you a longer shelf-life (which is always good news).

A tip we’re definitely taking on board for our patterned favourites!
