Well a simple little tip is to do the following. Keep a pair of rubber dishwashing gloves in your stocking or pantyhose drawer. Make sure that you pour some talcum powder inside them so that are easy to put on or off. When you are putting on your tights or pantyhose, wear the rubber gloves. It will make grabbing them easier and will prevent you putting your nails or fingers through them.

If you find that your toes are forever popping through the bottom of your tights, stockings or pantyhose then hairspray will make them last longer. After each wash give the toe area a quick spray of hairspray. It will prevent the toe area from wearing through.

Hand washing your hosiery is by far the best way to make sure that you get the maximum life from them. It only takes a few minutes. Using a bar of soap or some weak detergent just rub them through and drape over your radiator. You will be amazed at how long they will last. Drying your hosiery in a tumble dryer will create a large amount of static. So it is best to hand wash and hang over a radiator.

If you dry your hosiery outdoors and you find that they are forever becoming entangled on your line then drop a spoon into each leg. It will keep them straight and prevent them from wrapping around the line.
