Every time I put on a pair of pantyhose, whether the toe is sheer or reinforced, I get a runs at the toes within minutes of putting on shoes. What can I do?

P.S. Once you have applied nail polish to the run, you can often move the mend around so it is on the sole of your foot, and won't show.
I have a pair of cotton gloves that I use just for putting on my pantyhose. Also keeping your toenails short and manicured will help save the foot part.
Try cutting the toe bit off an old pair and put it on under the new pair. It cushions your toe-nails. Once it's snagged though -yep, nail varnish! Marg from England.

I put a new pair of pantyhose on for the first time yesterday to go to church. When I got there there was a run in them. I remember reading somewhere a tip on how to keep pantyhose from running.
Ideas for stopping runs and snags in pantyhose. If you get a run, spray it with some hairspray to stop it in its tracks. A little clear nail polish will also do the trick.
