Extend The Life Of Your Tights By Using This One Weird Trick

Winter means tights, and tights unfortunately means ripped tights. It's always a bummer to put on a fresh pair of tights only to get a huge run in them an hour later. Whether you're into opaque colorful tights, sheer pantyhose, or adorable cat tights, the secret to keeping your tight game tight is...

Popping those bad boys in the freezer!

Yes, for real.

Grab a fresh, never worn pair of tights and get them damp in the sink. Afterwards, seal in a sandwich bag and place in the freezer between the Ben & Jerry's and Eggos. Leave them over night and defrost them the next day. Once they're dry, put them on and enjoy your cute tights without worrying about them getting totally destroyed!

So what the heck is up with this hack? Freezing the fabric only strengthens the all the fibers, making it so much harder to tear. Tell some friends and they'll be thanking you all winter long.
