After years of well-loved use, there is a chance your hosiery will wear out. Whether it’s a simple basic pair of pantyhose, like our Ada 15 Slightly Sheen Pantyhose by Fiore, or something a little more stand-out, there are uses for your most loved pairs long after they’ve cycled their way out of your wardrobe. 5 weird uses for worn-out hosiery include: 

1. Fish tank vacuum cover – If you’re an aquarium enthusiast, you know all about how difficult it can be to use a wet/dry shop-vac to vacuum out your dirty water. You’re sucking up gravel and aquarium accessories, and you’re actually making more work for yourself when you think you’re about to give yourself an easier time. With a worn out strip of pantyhose, you can cover the hole of the hose and vacuum out the entire tank without sucking up one tiny stone. 

2. Shoe buffer – On freshly polished shoes, nothing works better to buff out and leave a great shine than a small strip of worn-out hosiery. The simple and soft buffing method won’t leave a single scratch behind as long as you don’t use a 3D pair with any glitter. 

3. Stuffing and crafting – Thin balled up pieces of worn out pantyhose make an excellent addition to your crafting table. When a child’s toy begins to lose a little stuffing, the small balls can be used in lieu of regular stuffing materials and leave the plush as good as new. This method can also be used to make hand-stuffed crafts and to perform emergency fixes on throw pillows or cushions. 

4. Potpourri sachet – For your closets, drawers, or other parts of your home, a pair of worn out pantyhose works as the perfect potpourri sachet. Simple take a stretch of pantyhose, knot at one end, fill the hosiery with potpourri, and knot at the other end to close. 

5. Easy duster – Taking a pair of nylon pantyhose, balling them up, and attaching them to a yardstick with a piece of rubber band is a great way to make an easy duster to reach all of those difficult places in your home. The dust will naturally cling to the nylon, and the pantyhose can simply be rinsed and reused as many times as you need.
