stockings

Oh how dull has my journal become? So here is something I feel all women must come across. RUNS IN STOCKINGS.

It's the worst isn't it? How does one prevent it?

Some suggestions:

Wash the hose immediately after opening from package. Let dry. Wear - this stretches the stocking material out

Buy a size bigger - many women tear because the hose is too tight.

Wash hose each time you wear it - it keeps the nylon stretched out.

Wear gloves when putting them on to prevent nails from snagging. Also put on lotion on legs and feet to keep them smooth.

Freeze your pantyhose before wearing. Don't know why that works.

when the runs occur

Clear nailpolish always does the trick. Hairspray works too but so far the polish is the winner. I've learned after my 3rd run - always have it on hand!!!
