What to do if your tights fall off

Autumn is coming, and that means you can't do without tights. They are warm and comfortable, but only if they fit well. But what if they keep falling off and you are forced to correct them at every step? Let's find out!

 

How should tights fit?

The ideal option would be when, having put on tights in the morning, you won’t remember about them during the day.

• The model must be the correct size.
• Choose a waist height that matches your skirt or trousers.
• There is no need to pull them all the way up to your chin.
• Seams should not be visible under tight dresses, skirts and other clothing.
• Make sure your foot is comfortable.
• When putting on the chosen model, try not to twist the product.

The right tights will not only keep you warm, but will also add elegance to your look. True, this will only happen if they do not slip at the most inopportune moment.

Why do tights fall off?

There are several reasons for the problem of slipping elastic.

 

1. The most obvious option is you chose the wrong size. As a rule, if the size of the product is too small, the fabric will tighten and slide down. If the size is too large, they do not fit well, and folds form on the material.
2. Product poor quality rubber band, which does not adhere well to the surface of the skin and stretches.
3. Lotions and creams made the skin very smooth. This causes synthetic fabric to slip.

Important! Fabric is not the main cause of slippage. The statement that products made from natural fibers (wool, cotton, etc.) slip and do not hold up at all is a myth.

Good tights are held in place due to the elastic band and also due to their design.

What should I do to finally stop them slipping?

Having clarified the reasons, we move on to eliminating the problem.

Preventing the problem - choosing the right product

• The size must be accurate. If it ends up on the “more-less” border, take the model that is larger. But only 1 size! Don't be afraid that they will sag! This is only possible if you choose an item that is too large (2 sizes larger).
• Give preference to models high waist.
• When choosing new tights pay attention to the thickness of the elastic band. It should be approximately 3–4 cm. Thanks to this detail, the product usually fits and is worn comfortably.

Important! Choosing the right model is the most reliable way to prevent your tights from slipping down.

Troubleshooting

I had to scour a lot of women's chats and forums to find the answer to the question of what to do with pantyhose that are slipping down. What fashionistas haven’t come up with and tried!

• Rubber for extra retention. This is the simplest option. True, it’s unlikely to be called successful. Having pulled up the tights to the desired height, women try to tie an elastic band over them, at the waist.It helps, but not for long!
• Another variant - hold a synthetic product with linen or clothing. In this case, panties or trousers are worn over the tights. This also gives minimal effect. The tights will continue to obsessively fall off, albeit not so quickly.
• There is another way, which is also associated with other clothes. This option is more reliable, but requires preparation. Besides, you will need a small piece of not very wide tape and a button. The middle of the braid is sewn along the side seam of the skirt or trousers. The button parts are attached to its ends: the base and the clasp. After putting on a skirt or trousers, place the top of the tights between the two ends of the ribbon. Then fasten the button, catching the fabric, through the tights. For reliability, you can use ribbons with buttons on both sides. Of course, sewing on the ribbons takes time, but they say the results are worth it!

We hope you will be able to choose a model that will fit like a glove. And if not, you know what to do!
