Crossdressers’ Tips: Stop Ruining Stockings and Hosiery!

Hello, lovelies! How are you doing today? Sick and tired of runs in your stockings and hosiery? You are not the only one!

Ruining delicate lingerie is something that we all hate, even those who have been wearing nylons for a long time.

So, for today’s post, we are going to see how to prevent runs in your stockings and nylons in general!

Hosiery is not only a very sexy piece of clothing but also very practical and warm.

Because of it and the feminine feelings it awakes, it’s one of the favored pieces of clothing by many crossdressers.

If you keep tearing your nylons and want to learn how to stop it, keep reading!

Price Does Matter

A very common mistake among beginner crossdressers is buying the cheapest nylons they can find.

This is great for starters for many reasons but terrible for others.

First and foremost, like with any other product, a higher price tag usually means better quality.

That is better quality control, a higher number of threads, more colors, and more designs, among others.

All in all, these things make cheap nylons prone to damage easier.

But if you are only starting to wear hosiery, cheap ones are great for getting used to them.

You will be saving a ton of money at first! Cheap hosiery can serve as training wheels, and you can wear them at your home just to feel the fabric!

Save the higher-quality ones for your outings or for those days when you just want to look as sexy or cute as ever!

Be Careful with Your Nails

Uneven nail edges are a death sentence for your nylons.

Because we all love to feel as feminine as possible, it’s not unusual that a good pair of stockings comes along with manicured nails and toes.

You must check that your nails don’t have any uneven edges. Many crossdressers, if not all, start doing so in the privacy of their homes.

Because of this, most try to manicure their hands themselves.

It can be hard for beginners to get their nails done properly without leaving any sharp edges.

Filing your nails without the proper technique can lead to tons of money wanted on good stockings!

Nonetheless, even with a perfect manicure, you can still run your nylons with your nails.

When wearing them, use the tip of your fingers and be patient while putting them on! Don’t rush it!

Wait Until the End to Put on Jewelry!

Another common mistake during dress-up sessions is wearing your jewelry before the rest of the outfit.

Accessories can get in the way while putting your outfit on or doing your hairdo.

Especially if they feature any sharp edges that can ruin your clothes.

As we have seen, uneven edges very easily tear stockings and pantyhose.

So, if you want to keep your nylons for a while, what you have to do is very simple.

Just wait until you have finished putting on your hosiery before wearing your jewels!

Also, remember to be extra careful when you have to go to the bathroom while wearing nylons!

Be delicate with your movements, and if necessary, store your jewelry safely before entering the restroom.

Don’t wait for too much to go to the bathroom, or you’ll do everything in a rush!

Tips for Buying Nylons

As I said before, nylons are a great piece of clothing. They are not only feminine but soft, comfy, and warm.

They can also have patterns that add a personal touch to your style.

But if you want to keep wearing them for a long time, there are some things you must be aware of when shopping for nylons.

First, look for those that are a bit thicker. These are harder to run.

Most crossdressers buy their stuff online, making it harder for them to test the quality firsthand.

I would like to encourage you to start losing the fear of buying in person.

It has a lot of perks, and nobody really cares!

But if you still prefer shopping online to keep things private, look for nylons with a higher number of threads.

Even high-end nylons aren’t that expensive unless they are from a luxury brand. Avoid fishy websites!

Keep Your Legs Smooth

Another nasty thing that can happen to your nylons is getting stuck and run by your skin.

Because biological males have thicker hair follicles than women, unshaved legs can run your nylons.

To avoid it, keep your legs shaved and moisturized.

But remember! Don’t use moisturizing cream right before putting nylons on!

Even though it’s true that they may slide easier, this can retain humidity against your skin and produce fungus!

Wait till your legs are dried before wearing hosiery!

The last thing you need to remember to avoid ruining your nylons is to buy them in the correct size.

Look for the size chart of the product you wish to buy. If they don’t have one, I suggest you try another vendor.

These are the things you need to keep in mind when wearing nylons to avoid any runs!

Remember to always spend your money wisely on things that will last as long as they can!

Also, you will get a better feeling out of using them. I hope this post has helped you to keep your nylons safe and smooth!

Take good care of yourselves and your lingerie! See you soon, gals!
