How to instantly save tights if an arrow goes to them

It happens that the slightest defect in the wardrobe spoils the mood and the whole coming day. It is especially difficult for women, since there is one detail in their wardrobe that needs to be treated delicately - tights.

Using nail polish to save tights

Puffs and creases on tights can significantly ruin your appearance and mood. In the case where it is not possible to put on a new pair, but there is nail polish, you can stop the further spread of the arrow on the product and prevent the hole from enlarging on the surface of the tights.

1. If you notice that an arrow has formed on the surface, you must immediately take a transparent or any other inconspicuous varnish.
2. Dipping the brush into the bottle and shaking off the excess varnish, you need to carefully apply a layer to the place where the arrow ends.
3. A minute after drying, the crease on the tights will not increase, since its borders are securely fastened with varnish, which has formed a crust that holds the threads of the product.

When you don’t have colorless nail polish on hand, you can use colored nail polish, but in this case it is, of course, better to wear tights under trousers so that the colored dots from the nail polish are not visible.

The method works great even if you decide to wash the product. The crease is reliably contained even after repeated washing of the tights, and the varnish crust does not fall off.

How soap can help

If your pantyhose have become crooked, and you don’t have a needle or nail polish at hand, we recommend turning your attention to regular soap. Soap can stop the increase in creases on tights. In order to get this effect, you need to moisten the soap and apply it to the upper border of the arrow, leave it to dry for a couple of minutes and the arrow will be fixed and will not creep up. Soap can be used in any consistency - liquid, bar, gel, shampoo are also suitable.

Threads to help you

The ideal solution when the arrow has moved is, first of all, thread and a needle. Sew up the crease with thread - this is the most effective way to save tights. It is better to choose a thread for these purposes that is thin, but at the same time durable, it can be cotton, or it can be with the addition of synthetics. You need to choose a thin needle so that it does not make unnecessary large holes when sewing.

1. When sewing up stockings, it is important to be patient and not miss any areas where the threads have broken.
2. It is necessary to connect the edges of the arrow with small stitches and move from the beginning to its highest point.
3. If along the main length of the product you can sew up stitches in one layer, then on the heel and toe you should sew more tightly, passing more often over one area. This will help avoid re-tearing in places where the tights are stretched - on the foot and on the toes.
4. If the tights are torn due to tightening, then you should pay special attention to what contributed to the deformation of the fiber - this could be the zipper of boots, the edges of certain shoes.
5. If you often need to wear tights at work, then it would be a good idea to put a small set in your purse - with a needle and thread. It’s enough to choose the most common thread colors and you don’t have to worry about snags and arrows.

New solution - office glue

It often happens that creases in tights occur in the office, in an institution where there are practically no means at hand that could save the situation. In this case, we recommend turning to available tools that are available in almost every organization. The most common of them is office glue. It will not only help to cope with the problem of the spread of arrows along the entire length of the stocking, but will also work effectively throughout the entire working day.

1. So, we need PVA glue or any other office glue.
2. Even a glue stick is suitable for use, so you can safely trust any company that produces these products.
3. It is worth treating the entire area around the hole, also touching the edges. It’s convenient that this procedure can be done even without removing the product, that is, on the leg. The glue dries quickly, so that the threads of the product will be protected from further tearing within a short time.
4. It is not recommended to delay such mini-repair of the product, since with each movement the hole noticeably spreads.

It is convenient to always carry a small tube of glue in your purse; this will help prevent damage to your tights even in the most unexpected situations.

Hairspray will quickly save the situation

If an annoying nuisance has occurred, your tights have torn at the most inopportune moment, we recommend turning to the means at hand in order to fix the problem as quickly as possible and prevent the formation of a long arrow and an unsightly hole.

One of the helpers in this case may be hairspray. Thanks to its composition and the film formed on the surface, it will not only hold the fibers of the hosiery together, but will also prevent further unraveling of the material.

The convenience of this method lies in the fact that the varnish can be used in almost any conditions. If trouble happens at work, then just go into the restroom and spray transparent hairspray at a distance of 25–30 cm from the arrow.

It is not recommended to use this method if the polish is colored; in this case, tights can only be worn under trousers.

Even if you buy the highest quality tights, you cannot be immune from holes appearing in them. In this case, special attention should be paid to available means that will solve the problem and not cause much trouble. Moreover, these funds can be found both at home and at work. The main thing is to notice the arrow in time and avoid its spreading.
