Wearing Nylon stockings can be very uncomfortable in the hot Australian summer unless you follow a few pretty simple guidelines.
1. Never try putting nylon stockings on immediately after getting out of a shower
2. Never rush to dress as you tend to perspire when hurrying and this makes legs damp.
3. Severely limit the use of a talcum powder because this will cause skin rashes in heat wave conditions.
4. Some women I know put their pantyhose stockings into a freezer bag and put it into the freezer just before they have a shower. I personally haven’t tried this method but they swear by it.
5. Always, always gently wash nylon stockings/pantyhose after each wear.
6. If you don’t wash them by hand in a gentle detergent then always use a laundry bag. These can be cheaply bought from most supermarkets and they stop your hosiery from being mangled.
7. Always fold pantyhose stockings gently and store them in a separate clothe bag in your drawers or cupboard. Preferably with a sachet of lavender inside as this keeps everything smelling nice and is a vermin deterrent.
9. If your stockings have a snag or pulled thread, never cut it off or pull it. Instead use a gentle dab of clear fingernail polish or undercoat to seal it before it makes a hole or ladders your stockings
10. When you buy your nylon stockings or pantyhose always buy the right size for your figure. If you are lucky enough to have long legs then be sure to show them off effectively without hobbling yourself.
