How to Protect Your Hosiery from Snags & Damage

Hosiery is delicate by nature, so careful handling is key:

  • Avoid contact with jewellery, zips, and sharp objects
  • Be gentle when putting on and removing tights
  • Keep nails smooth to prevent laddering
  • Avoid rough or abrasive surfaces

A little extra care goes a long way in preventing holes and snags.

Printed Tights Care Guide

For printed hosiery:

  • Hand wash before first wear
  • Wash separately initially to avoid colour transfer
  • Be aware that some light transfer may occur
  • Follow care instructions carefully for best results
