Care instructions

Looking after your stockings is easy!

Hand wash with mild detergent in warm water, rinse, pat dry with towel, hang by the toe and position without creases to dry. Take care not to hang over anything that may cause snags. When dry return to cellophane wrapper or a fabric hosiery bag.....simples!

Putting your stockings on

I have been wearing nylons for over 30 years and my top tips are:

Although time consuming stockings should be put on with cotton gloves if possible. It reduces damage.

Keep finger and toe nails well groomed and free from snags and use plenty of hand/foot cream to keep skin nice and soft.
Gather the length of the stocking and carefully put your toe in the end, pull the stocking over your foot and ensure the ankle is correctly in place! Standing up, carefully roll the stocking up over your leg checking that the seam is straight.

Keeping Your Seams Straight

If your seam isn't straight don't try to adjust on the leg, simply roll your stocking back to the ankle and start again.

Wear your stockings with a good quality suspender  belt preferably with six or more suspenders which will reduce movement of the seam.

Done and ready to go!
