A simple & convenient solution to rescue snagged pantyhose or tights- and stop runs in their tracks!

 An innovative new product that should be part of every  professional, fashion-conscious, stylish, or professional woman's essential survival kit, and a handy product to carry in their purse to have when a fashion emergency strikes!


 Any woman who has ever worn pantyhose, stockings, or tights can attest to,  the sheerer the hosiery-- the shorter the lifespan, and will sometimes run right out of the package when putting them on.  Running (and ruining) hosiery has been the source of women's frustration, angst, aggravation, and embarrassment for decades-- and only women can relate to this typically female fashion-catastrophie.

Who wears pantyhose anymore?

Pantyhose and tights are still popular  throughout the world... more so than in the U.S.   Although pantyhose  and tights have been regarded over the past several decades by American  cultural perception that is shaped by the largest segment of  consumers... the Millennials---  as being obsolete fashion relics, having  been culturally supplanted  by  casual  athleisure and activewear culture, which began with Sara Blakely's Spanx leggings.            , 

Pantyhose  and tights are  now enjoying a resurgence in popularity in the U.S.,   but are far more popular in Europe and particularly Asia-- where people  still dress professionally, and for work... where men  still wear suits  presenting a "power identity" or  stature in the office,  and women dress with what they consider proper  office and business apparel.  The dress codes make the statement  "we mean business".  

The  same holds true for international flight attendants that almost  universally wear uniforms that are suits, skirts and pantyhose, whereas  in the U.S.  because of the gender issues in the U.S. about the  application of dress codes for women that were the subject of Supreme  Court decisions back in the 1990's, women are allowed the choice of  wearing pants, and therefore are optional alternatives to uniform skirts  for all U.S. airlines.

However, in the U.S. financial center, banks, brokerage firms, and many other Fortune 500 companies- skirts and pantyhose are de riguer and  highly encouraged.  As well, in the high-powered legal profession,  women project their power when appropriately dressed in a business suit.

The  entertainment field is another occupation, not only where the  entertainers like Taylor Swift and J-Lo always wear tights on stage, but  the numerous newscasters, weather girls,  and television personalities  (and their guests)  always wear pantyhose and pumps while on-air.

But  culturally, average American women typically have the mindset that is  articulated in any discussion  about  hosiery-- by their  attitude-revealing rhetorical response "who wears pantyhose anymore?,  indicating that their average lifestyle favors casual comfort over  fashion,  and that the only events to warrant wearing pantyhose, would  be a wedding, graduation, or a funeral.  Such segment of American  womenhood, would favor Nikes or Reeboks over Jimmy Choo's, Manolo  Blahnik's, or Stuart Weitzmnan's. 

The answer to their rhetorical question, however, is "millions of women worldwide".  They just don't shop for them on a L'eggs rack in Walgreens or CVS any more...  they purchase $25-$50 designer hosiery on-line.

How Pantyhose Run-Stop® Works

  •  Pantyhose Run-Stop® is simply a handy and convenient product  in a lip-gloss tube that can easily be carried in a woman's purse.  It is therefore immediately  on-hand  at the most aggravating moment as a triage to apply to a small snag or rip in tights, stockings, and pantyhose, and to halt a the progression of a developing  ladder/ run-- thereby rescuing the hose from worsening, and potentially  preserving them for future use. 


  • It is adapted to be filled in a  lip-gloss tube-- which can always be available when needed-- usually at  the most inappropriate or inconvenient times (like a wedding, a gala  event, a business meeting, while working on a flight, etc).  

 

  • The polyacrylate composition dries  quickly and almost transparently, and affixes (or "welds") the compromised  microfiber filaments of the yarn together, to prevent further unraveling  (or "deconstruction" of the mesh weave). Therefore it doesn't  apply as noticeable and unsightly  glob or patch of glue or adhesive-- just enough of an  application to affix the fibers to each other, and is therefore a  "fixative" rather than a glue or adhesive. It easily peels off from the skin.
     
  • It also works on the new tights run-proof technology in some of the sheerer varieties. which  are not snag-proof, and still get holes-- which will ultimately grow  in size.

How to Prevent a Run or Tear in Tights from Spreading

 A Primer on Understanding Tights, Pantyhose & Stockings manufacturing: Dernier & Weave


 WHAT IS DENIER?

DEN  (abbreviation for the French denier) is used to indicate the thickness  of the material. Apart from tights, this unit of measurement is nowadays  only used for motorcycle clothing or horse blankets. Roughly speaking, the lower the denier number, the thinner the thighs.  


The most popular tights  include thin tights in 20 DEN, semi-opaque in 40 DEN, and opaque for  colder days in 80 DEN. In between there are many other variations that  make it possible to choose the perfect tights for really every season.

Our Opinion: Is this a sexy look... or just simply trashy?

LEG: The philosophy and manifesto of the leg maestro- Donna Karan

Ripped pantyhose may be the newest fashion  rage, but why spend $190 for a pair of Gucci designer ripped pantyhose... when you've probably got a drawer full of ripped and ruined pantyhose and tights. 


This may be a generational thing... marketers targeting the Millennials and the Gen Z's with the "grunge" look, but that look is the younger generation's "push-back" against the traditional look embraced by their parents, they don't work, and if they do, it's not at a traditional office job where hose and heels are worn-- they don't work in corporate America, nor do they work in traditional businesses that adhere to office attire... they simply mimic what they perceive as a fashion trend, and they don't embrace the sensuality of wearing hosiery... they reject that concept by ripping holes in their hose, their fishnets, andtheir jeans!  They are the Doc Maarten generation--- not the Gucci, Dior, Loboutin, Marc Fisher, or even Jimmy Choo.


Here is our opinion for what it's worth... this is a fashion faux-pas that is worthy of a "pass"!

Donna Karan, one of the preeminent fashion designers and producer of Donna Karan pantyhose and tights, published a book  in 1997 called "Leg",  a photographic tribute and acknowledgement of the attraction and embellishment of legs since, well, since they invented the camera with which to take pictures of legs.  Everyone was born with two of them (excluding birth defects).  Ms. Karans'  "Foreward" is most revealing and descriptive, and is a worthwhile read to help understand the attraction of the female leg as a pleasing, and visually stimulating objectified body part..

FORTUNE MAGAZINE: Why pantyhose sales are still surprisingly strong

The only things that have changed since this 8 year article was written, was the world-wide pandemic that aught the world they could work as efficiently from their  homes, and the corporations could save a bundle of money not having to maintain offices to get the work done. The world has become a more casual place, and unfortunately, as a result, there is less opportunity to dress-up nicely.   

We will update this article.


FORTUNE MAGAZINE 

Colleen Kane November 11, 2015 


For much of the 20th century, pantyhose were an essential component of any polished woman’s outfit.


But then, many Gen X and Boomers stopped wearing pantyhose years ago, dismissing them as uncomfortable and easily ruined by runs. Most Millennial women have never even worn them, and thanks to more casual office wear, they don’t need to in most offices.

 Even in summer, or especially on hot days, you shouldn’t necessarily give up on wearing sheer tights.  However, it’s important to choose your pantyhose carefully. Otherwise,  wearing pantyhose can become a highly sweaty affair. Even for high  temperatures, there are delicately fascinating pantyhose models that,  through their transparency alone, create a certain tingle.
