In an ideal situation you should have short nails to prevent snagging although if you do have long nails then just ensure they are smooth and don’t have any rough edges.

If you do get a ladder then you need to know how you can stop it getting worse. Using some clear nail varnish should seal the ends of the fibres and stop the ladder from getting any longer.

When you take your tights off at the end of the day then you need to be just as careful as when you put them on. Make sure you carefully roll your tights down and watch out for your fingernails.
