A delicate matter, or how to remove a puff on nylon tights

A woman’s neat appearance has no unimportant details. One of the components of the image is thin tights that hug the legs.

For the overall look to be perfect, there should be no defects in the stockings and tights. If a tightening occurs at the most inopportune moment, simple techniques that every woman should know about will help cope with the problem.

We will tell you in this article how to remove a puff on nylon tights.

What can't you do?

Since thin women's tights are a very delicate item of clothing, the attitude towards them should be appropriate.

Puffs may appear at any time:

• when putting on;
• while wearing;
• due to improper care, etc.

To prevent a random small snag from turning into a big hole with arrows running down your leg, You should remember the following prohibitions:

1. You can’t just leave a small clue that appears “unattended” and do nothing.

   With a high degree of probability, you can expect that by the end of the working day the snag will turn into a noticeable hole.

2. If the problem is a simple snag, then careless stitching, especially on the part of the tights visible from under clothing, will not improve the situation, but will only draw attention to the defect.

Methods for solving the problem

The approach to eliminating the defect is influenced by the following factors:

• in what area is the lead located?
• is there access to available materials;
• product density;
• type of tightening;
• presence/absence of decor on the model, etc.

At home, fixing a defect is much easier and more convenient than at work or in another public place.Some puffs can be removed even without the use of additional tools.

Stretching

You should start by inspecting the problem area. If the tie is transverse and the thread itself is not torn, then by carefully pulling the material near the tie to the sides, the problem can be eliminated.

To sew or not to sew?

In cases where the snag or small hole is in an inconspicuous area, for example, hidden by shoes, it can simply be sewn up. To do this, use a very thin needle and thin threads that match the color of the product.

But if the affected area is in a visible place, stitching will only help avoid arrows. Such a repair will not always be appropriate - only as a temporary option.

Nail polish

When a snag appears, it is very important to prevent arrows and holes from appearing. To do this, you can use clear nail polish.

Procedure:

1. You need to drip a little varnish onto the edge of the tie, which threatens to creep away and turn into a hole.
2. Wait for the varnish to dry.

Even if the arrow has already started, the varnish will prevent its spread. But such a solution will not give long-term results, so it is only suitable as a temporary solution. You should use regular polish, not gel polish, which does not dry in air.

Crochet work

If tightening is not the only problem, but the arrow has already begun to spread, You can solve the problem with a hook, but you will need a special tool for these purposes. It is thin and has a movable folding part on the working side.

Any tights and stockings are, in essence, knitted fabric.The task is to catch the “running” loop and restore the appearance of the tights.

To restore the weave, you need to pick up the bottom loop on the arrow, catching it with a hook, and lift it to the next weave. At each stage, as you progress, you need to make a new loop. A special folding “tongue” of the hook helps with this.

Preventing snags

To prevent tights from tearing and constantly getting tight, it is recommended to follow measures to prevent such a defect. A treacherous tightening can occur not only while wearing tights and stockings, but even while putting them on.

• before putting on tights, you must remove rings, bracelets and watches;
• you should put on the stocking after gathering it into an accordion with your hands;
• do not use force;
• do not hurry;
• put on without jerking;
• monitor the condition of your fingernails and toenails, which can also leave snags.

Shoes should not cling to tights. Most often, such a nuisance occurs when wearing boots.

Wash thin tights only by hand, separate from other things. In this case, intense impact should not be allowed - friction, twisting, use of brushes, etc.

A separate danger to the safety of stockings and tights is posed by uneven surfaces that can lead to snags - benches, old wooden chairs, etc. Also, tights “don’t like” to rub against bags, packages and decorative elements of clothing.

Careful wearing and proper care of tights should also not be discounted. He will tell you how to wash nylon and knitted tights this article.

Recommendations

In the fight against tight tights The following recommendations will help:

1. You should only purchase tights that are the right size. You can check the size chart on the product packaging.
2. High-quality tights last longer and are less likely to form puffs.
3. Composition matters. The elastane (lycra) in the composition is responsible for elasticity and resistance to deformation.

   For tights with a density of up to 100 den, the optimal elastane content is from 10%. For denser ones, this figure is usually lower.

4. The thinner the tights, the higher the likelihood of puffs. Therefore, they should be worn very carefully.
5. If the tightening is noticeable and cannot be eliminated using simple methods, the tights will need to be replaced.
6. Before first use, new tights, especially if they are not of very high quality, can be sprayed with hairspray.

On dark thin tights, the puffs are much more noticeable than on the same, but flesh-colored ones.

Conclusion

It is quite possible to remove a puff on tights if the situation is not severe. By acting quickly and carefully, you can eliminate the problem, making the defect almost invisible.

And in order not to encounter such a problem very often, you need to remember about preventive measures and treat such toilet items with care as elegant tights.
