clear nail varnish
I know this.
this is when a ladder has already started though.
i don't know how to stop them laddering, i just buy really thick tights.
Clear nail varnish only helps the ladder getting bigger.
Buy a higher dernier, thicker tights dont rip as often.
I rarely wear tights now, but when I used to I often took a spare pair in my bag so that if the rip got too big, I could change.
* stops the ladder getting bigger
Anyone else read "conundrum" as "condom"?
Being a bloke I dunno
but I heard somehwhere that NASA helped design the Aerobie but I can't find any evidence to support this... is it true?
P.S. Roll them onto your leg. Right?
hairspray.
works a treat.
Hairspray also works to hold your make-up
hairspray = miracle worker
But why would you spray your face with hairspray????
It will make your eyes sting like a bitch. And you'll be able to taste it all day.
Women are so confusing.
close your eyes and mouth
hairspray is amazing!
when do you spray them?
like, every time you wear them, or just when they're new?
when they're new, after i've washed them..etc..
so kinda repeatedly?
and this is with thin tights?
i'm learning lots today!
yeah.
i wouldn't spray them too much without washing between! they'll probably go crunchy or something. ha ha.
Well you make sure you don't rip them
If you do, clear nail varnish does the trick
What about the aerobie?
aerobie??
Come again?
Shave your legs more than once a year
oh shit
i don't
i quite like ripped tights sometimes. makes me feel like a punk, a very girly punk wearing floral dresses.
Mmm

?

i didn't see this before i posted
.
Dont wear tights?
What are tights actual ppurpose though?
hiding hair, cellulite and bruises from us.
aw
that's the troof.
See, I know all about the opposite sex
I'm in touch with my sensitive side.
keep your legs warm when wearing dresses.
they work too!
^this
enables the wearing of skirts all through winter. also, being a reserved scandinavian, i don't like showing off too much skin at once.
Really?
My girlfriend is Finnish and she basically said that like most other scandinavians, the finns are very easy going about nudity amongst friends.
The Finnish are crazy though
they get naked all the time in their saunas and stuff
plus they always have a couple of litres of vodka in them, so they don't care about such trivial matters
we on the other hand are a more sensitive people
Yeah, she is startlingly unconcerned by people seeing her naked
Tells me off for being conservative because I always make sure I'm clothed before I wander around her house.
Yeah Finland has the highest rate of per capita alcohol consumption, and the highest rate of suicide in Europe. Coincidence?
also
STRICTLY speaking, Finland isn't part of Scandinavia
i'm coming to zapsta's gig now
I thought you were gay!
Same!
yeah my norwegian friend will run around the house naked.
but not the street! 2 different things.
She always looked far more 'classic' with the clothes she wore. didn't feel the need to go around in skimpy outfits regardless of how comfortable she was with her nudity..etc..
but HER OWN house though, right?
not shared or anything?
well yeah, or around her close mates.
and she always told me about how girls in norway share massive shower cubicles naked after gym class in school..they weren't bothered. i am way too conservative for that! she said it was common there though.
the school showers thing is true
but i for one resented it. i value my privacy.
yeah i have to agree with you on that!!
This is what I was told as well
She said she's seen pretty much every finnish female friend naked. And some of the male ones. Was surprised when I said I'd seen none of my friends naked.
They just don't care! Apparently UK types are prudish and conservative
ROADTRIP TO NORWAY DUDEZ!

AWESOME!
RIGHTEOUS!
totally
excellent!
^^^^ that made me laugh.
get out of the thread boyzzzz! i knew all this talk of naked showering would have an inevitable conclusion.
inevitable conclusion all over your face
(you walked into that one)
nothing
i like it when there are ladders in them, cause i'm SO hardcore.
high five!
No mention of it here
http://www.aerobie.com/History.htm
I SWEAR that NASA had something to do with it.
Wear stockings
kthxbai
Oh, I'm not a woman, but I should be, I like shoes and I'm GORGEOUS.
are you having a breakdown?
Z, the answer is to make sure your fingernails are always neatly filed and same with your toenails, and don't date scoundrels who like "is that a ladder" type lines.
Also, using a tights-exclusive wash bag in the washing machine helps. Helps stops tights (or stockings, Alex!) getting snagged on bra hooks and zips and stuff.

thanks Mirri
Useful advice on a very important matter.
Stockings - yeah, sometimes they snag on my girdle and reins.
:)
such is the life of a woman.

i wasn't being serious
Do I have to say that every time I post :(
I was just fed up of threads about cock sizes and wanking, where I can't join in.

:D
I have never experienced tights laddering.
Cut your toenails?
Leave them in the packet
and never wear them.
