How To Prevent Your Stockings From Shrinking

How To Prevent Your Stockings From Shrinking

Shrinking stockings is one of the most common problems women encounter. Many just learn to live and endure using shrunk stockings, while others would treat them as disposable items. However, hosiery is an investment and it is still important to know how to take care of them properly even if they are high-quality pieces from hosieree.com. 

It is time to put a stop to shrinking stockings so here are ways to prevent them:

  • Do Not Put Your Stockings In The Dryer – The intense heat from the dryer is bound to shrink the material of your stockings and even make it rough. Remember that even the highest quality stockings are made from delicate fabrics. Throwing them in the dryer will shrink them and affect their quality as well. 

Instead of using a dryer, it is better to hang them up to dry. Taking a few minutes of your time to wash and hang them up is surely worth it than buying new pairs every time they shrink in the dryer. 

  • Use A Mesh Net – It is highly recommended to handwash your stockings, but busy schedules could leave you with less time to focus on the task. Unlike the dryer, washing machines are not as deadly to your stockings but they could still be damaged inside. The best way to prevent this from happening is by using a secured laundry mesh net. This would prevent them from getting mixed and tangled with your other clothes.
  • No Need For Fabric Softeners – Your clothes may love fabric softeners, but it’s different news when it comes to your stockings. Fabric softeners could instead damage the material that makes your stockings elastic. Avoid fabric softeners together with dryers. Another tip is to keep your washing in intervals because frequent washing could also be damaging.

4 Common Mistakes When Wearing Your Pantyhose

Our pantyhose has become essential for our outfits so it rightfully deserves to be shown some love and extra care. One way to do that is knowing the common mistakes some may be making when wearing their pantyhose. What could be wrong and how can it be fixed?

  • Pulling The Pantyhose Up Your Legs Quickly – The most common mistake most make is pulling on their pantyhose the same way they wear other garments, like shorts and jeans. It is important to remember that your pantyhose is delicate, and pulling them up at the same time can cause the material to weaken, eventually leading to holes or tears.

There’s a proper to wear them, of course. That is by rolling them up on one leg at a time and adjusting them carefully so that they are snug and secure. Wearing them the right way makes them also more comfortable. 

  • Not Moisturizing Before Wearing Pantyhose – Wearing lotion before wearing pantyhose also benefits you, not just your hosiery. After all, anything you wear can feel iffy when they brush against a dry patch of skin. 

By moisturizing, the texture of the pantyhose would feel good against your body and your pantyhose can smoothly fit your legs when you wear them.

  • Wearing Pointy Jewelry – Pantyhose can easily get caught in rough surfaces and pointy objects, like your accessories. Sometimes, even the tiniest stones or crystals in your bracelets and rings can get snagged accidentally in your pantyhose and rip it. 

When wearing pointy jewelry, be careful about getting it near your hosiery. In addition, you should also avoid other pointy objects around you, like screws!

  • Settling For Cheap And Low-Quality Pantyhose – The quality of your pantyhose determines how long and how much you can enjoy using it. It can be tempting to just get whatever’s available within reach in stores, but it can be a bad investment. Cheap and low-quality hosiery can have rough textures, uneven measurements, and have brittle material.

If you do not want to spend again and again on pantyhose after using your old ones just a few times, invest in better pairs. Luckily, you don’t have to look hard because Hosieree.com’s got you covered.

Knowing The Best Time To Buy New Stockings

Knowing The Best Time To Buy New Stockings

We all have a pair of stockings we absolutely love and have grown attached to. Still, there will come a day when it’s time for our favorite pair to go. The question is how would we know when is the best time to replace our old, worn-out stockings? Here are the things you should look out for:

1.       How Old Are Your Stockings? – Time flies by fast and before we know it, a year has already passed. Stockings usually have a lifespan of six months to a year, gradually bearing tears and holes along the way. Of course, that also depends on how you care for them! If you think your stockings are already almost or over a year, it is time to do a thorough checkup and see how they are going.

2.       Has The Material Thinned? – Most often than not, we fail to notice that the fabric of our stockings has already grown thinner after numerous washes and uses. Thinned fabric makes your stockings more prone to tears and holes. Stretch too much and you might find yourself down a pair. If the material of your stockings has considerably thinned, it is about time to invest in new ones before your old pair finally decides to retire.

3.       Are Your Stockings Slipping Down? – How many times have you pulled and adjusted your stockings today? Another sign of worn-down stockings is that it has already been stretched too much and can no longer hug your legs securely. You can even say that your stockings have grown a little bigger after being stretched over and over throughout the year.

4.       Are They Still Comfortable To Wear? – Old stockings may have loose threads that can make your legs feel itchy. They can also lose the warmth and protective layer they initially had as the material grows thinner. Stockings slipping down from time to time can also be a bother as you need to constantly adjust them up. Thinking and dealing with all of these things can lead to discomfort. Consider buying a new batch of stockings when you do not feel as comfortable as you did when you first tried on the pair.

Stockings do have an average lifespan but it is still up to your tender loving care when it comes to making sure that they last long enough. One tip we can give you is to invest in high-quality stockings, like those in hosieree.com’s collection.
