My problem with any kind of spray is the scent. Also, I'm not sure I'd like the feel of it on my legs. The smell of it, along with the thought of a sticky residue on my skin, really turns me off. Even when I spray my hair (which I rarely do anymore), I go all the way outside to do it. Lotion is available unscented, and feels good against my skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-587169 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 05:56:15 +0000 Deborah 587169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spray some hairspray on my hose and it works like a dream:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-587124 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:33:13 +0000 Scarlet 587124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friend gave me a little static electricity discharger from Japan. You put your thumb on it and touch it to something metal. It uses the static energy to make a little smiley face to discharge it. Changed my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-587114 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:22:05 +0000 kellygirl 587114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@mrseccentric: LOL!

The safety pin kept tugging at my hose no matter how I positioned it; thankfully the hose was net-like so there were no runs. Sometimes I even rub a little lotion on top of the hose under the skirt, just a smidge, when the cling seems to re-appear through the course of the day. Works quite well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-586474 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:44:14 +0000 Aziraphale 586474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL MrsEccentric, you're funny! You're quite right; I'm not looking for images of air vents. </p> <p>I'm not crazy about the idea of rubbing lotion all over my tights (doesn't it rub off on the skirt?) but maybe I'll give the static spray a try. Shipskitty, that's a neat idea about the safety pins -- I'll definitely give that a go. </p> <p>Thanks again everybody for the suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-586465 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:39:35 +0000 Scarlet 586465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heard the lotion trick from a sales lady recently (who owned the silk dress I was buying). I was planning on trying that the next time I have this issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-586307 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:23:24 +0000 mrseccentric 586307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm. turns out you want to search for 'slips with slit':</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/77qccrf" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/77qccrf</a></p> <p>rather than 'slip with vent:</p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/7zvscvb" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/7zvscvb</a></p> <p>FWIW, slips are incredibly easy to make. You can safety pin the top of the slit to the seam allowance along the top of the skirt vent to keep the slip in the right place during the day.</p> <p>CocoLion, i know a lot of ladies who use those dryer sheets that way! i've never tried that, i just make myself some slips out of thrifted silk crepe de chine blouses. add some lace and you're tres swank!</p> <p>has anyone tried wearing one of these uber-chic grounding wristlets?

It sort of works. I used to keep a few laundry sheets in my desk drawer for this. I've also used Static Guard which I think is what Christineanne is talking about. The spray worked a little better but I didn't care for the smell.</p> <p>Never tried the lotion -- good idea! I have this problem with silk and silk-type blouses, will apply lotion prior to wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585849 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:46:02 +0000 rachylou 585849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are 'shorts' slips that work pretty well with slits in skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585832 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:25:18 +0000 Aziraphale 585832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions. I do have a short slip, but it doesn't work; the tights cling to the bottom part of the skirt and it rides up. Maybe a slip with a vent -- I didn't know those existed. Lyn, I had thought of getting a lacy slip that is meant to show. I think that will be my plan of attack, if I can't find a slip with a vent. If it works for you, it'll work for me!</p> <p>ChristieAnn -- is Static Cling some kind of laundry spray? I don't use laundry sheets or spray normally, as we have enough moisture in the air that static is rarely a problem. You'd think that this would mean that I wouldn't have the skirt cling problem either, but nooooo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585765 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:27:41 +0000 Sona 585765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>many places carry short slips these days like target. maybe you can try one of those? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585724 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 20:24:52 +0000 lyn* 585724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lace slip that I wear and let the bottom stick out - but I don't think that will solve your problems :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585673 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:42:33 +0000 christieanne 585673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to spray Static Cling directly on my legs/hose and then put on the skirt and that helped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585657 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:21:41 +0000 Anonymous 585657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get a slip with a vent and turn the vent to the front or a slip shorter than the vent often works too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585656 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:21:14 +0000 Anonymous 585656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back in the day when I had to wear pantyhose to work, I would always wear a slip. I used to own slips that were specifically designed to be worn with skirts that had slits so that the slip would not show.</p> <p>If wearing a slip is out of the question, and it isn't always possible with a vent, I would apply light hand or body lotion to my pantyhose in the area the skirt or dress was clinging to. This always stopped the cling, and no one was the wiser.</p> <p>Also, if you have a run in your pantyhose but it's in an area where it doesn't show, just apply some clear nail polish. That will stop it from running any further.</p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585652 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:18:22 +0000 Kiwichik 585652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi have you tried moisturising your legs just before putting on your pantyhose this helps cut down the static electricity that makes the fabric cling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585648 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:16:30 +0000 jayne 585648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a slid with a a high slit...perhaps you can find one like that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirt-sticking-to-pantyhosetights-how-do-you-solve-it#post-585644 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:13:31 +0000 Aziraphale 585644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, </p> <p>I have this problem all winter long and I usually solve it by wedging a slip in between my hose and skirt. However, I have a couple of kneecap-covering A-line skirts with a front vent that I can't do this with, because the hem of the slip shows in the vent. Any ideas on how to solve the problem? I'd really like to wear these skirts in non-bare-leg weather. Would it look OK if I got a slip with a lacy hem and just let it poke out? Or is there some other kind of slippery undergarment that I don't know aobut? </p>
