Those opaque bad boys are a lifesaverwhen the temps start to majorly dip…if only they stayed run-free for longer than, oh, a day.
Good thing there’s a super-easy trick for extending the life of your tights.
You freeze them.
Yes, it sounds crazy, but hear us out: The next time you buy a new pair (and before you wear them), run them under water until they’re damp. Then place them in a plastic bag and freeze overnight. Take them out and give them a day to defrost and thaw out.
You only need to do this once--after that, you’re good to go. The chilly temps firm and strengthen the individual fibers of your tights, making them less susceptible to runs later on.
Really?? How did anyone come up with this .... accidental froze their tights????
ReplyDeleteUseful tip. I will try it out. Thanks
ReplyDeleteSeriously? I JUST opened a new pair of tights and wore them already. I wonder if it will work if I do it after I wash them once?
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you and you have a beautiful weekend, Marsha!! xoxo
This is a great tip and remember doing this in high school and college. Then, I forgot. Thanks, Marsha, for reminding me; it's getting toward that time of year...chilly dipping into cold leaning into frigid.
