Just another 2 cents, but I wear both nylons and tights and find
that they last almost the same length of time. The main danger
to any of my legwear is my cat, and he doesn't discriminate be-
tween nylons and tights. I get usually at least 10 wearings out
of my nylons, and I think it has to do with two things:
1. I always buy "light support" (or substitute your
favorite brand phrase here). Besides feeling and
fitting much better than the regular ones, they
also last longer because they're made of stronger
stuff.
2. I never wear them more than once without washing
them. Sounds obvious, but I know people who don't.
By the way, I wash them on the delicate cycle in the
machine without any other special care, and hang
them over wire hangers (not the plastic ones, which
can catch) to dry.
As an aside in response to the comment about smoothing skirts
before sitting to "insulate the stockings," I smooth my skirt
before I sit so it doesn't get all gross and wrinkled and feel
bumpy under me when I'm sitting, especially in the car.
Gosh, do I feel silly discussing nylons on the net!
