Tricks to eliminate static?

Emily

Anyone have any tips/tricks/hacks for eliminating static? Preferably something I can MacGyver with things available in your average office? My skirt insists on sticking to my tights :/

Gonna watch this thread. I wore one of my dresses on Monday and spent all day dragging it down off my tights! Grrrr!

I always find slathering my body (legs usually is where the cling is bad) heavily with lotion is the best trick. Silly but works for me!

would tucking a fabric softener sheet into your bag and rubbing it on your tights help?

Couple things I use regularly:

- rub a little handcream on your tights/hose
- I carry Bounce sheets in my purse and rub that on the inside of my skirt and on my tights/hose
- if you have a wire hanger available, rubbing that on the inside of the skirt can help

Static Guard spray? Do they still make that?

Something metal. Do you have a stapler on your desk? It may look a bit strange, but rub the metal part on your tights and inside of your skirt.

I think they still make Static Guard spray. It's the only thing that really works for me. I sometimes carry a small container of it with me in case I need to reapply during the day.

I've gotten my hands wet and rubbed them under the staticky item, to increase the moisture. That helps some.

I've heard a safety pin inside the hem can work, although I have yet to try it.
