First Hose Question

Tags : None
  • O.K., I'll ask the first hose question. I know some women who keep hose (usually pantyhose) in the freezer or refrigerator because it supposedly keeps them from getting runs so easily. Is there any validity to this claim?

  • I am afraid I can't provide any scientific evidence that proves freezing your hosiery will make it last longer! However, having done a bit of research I have found several claims that freezing your new hosiery in its packaging before use for the first time seems to successfully extend its life. Washing your hosiery on a COOL temperature by hand or in a hosiery bag before you wear them is my top tip as this loosens and softens the fibres. I also always wear lotion on my hands and feet to stop snagging the hosiery when putting it on! Hope this helps....
