    Cute stockings!

    First of all, how do you put them on? Do you leave them long and pull them on like you would a pair of trousers? If this is what you're doing the laddering could be due to toesnails getting snagged in the fabric and ripping it.

    They're lovely, but they're still just stockings and will ladder eventually due to wear and tear.

    I've had great luck with AP, but wear the old-fashioned stockings with a suspender belt. I get the stockings with the back seam and these are made entirely of nylon. Do these have spandex/lycra in them or are they made entirely of nylon, which in my experience are less likely to ladder. (The website doesn't say so I don't the the fabric content of these.) The downside of not having lycra/spandex in your hosiery is you get a get of bagging around the ankles. I've had my stockings for 4 months now and wear them 2-4 times a week for a full day during each wear.

    It is important to properly take care of your hosiery. Obviously handwashing them with Woolite and not wringing them, but gently squeezing the Woolite through. Ideally these should be left flat to dry but I often just throw them over the shower and let them air dry. (I feel like an old Home Economics teacher after this post!)

    Hope this helps!

    Depends on what they are made from I suppose. Expensive tights that have lycra mixed in tend to last longer.
