LOL at my mom

[lizardesque]

I just got this e-mail from her: Just saw a segment on TV. Soak a new pair of tights in water, put in plastic bag, squeeze air out and put in freezer for a day. Be sure to thaw before wearing!

Of course, there was no explanation of why one would do this.
I googled it, and I guess it's supposed to make them last longer. It's pretty funny that she didn't include that info, as if one might just do this, you know, for fun.

LOL lizardesque that she didn't tell you what this was supposed to do but she included the tidbit about making sure to thaw them out before wearing.

Oh, I just saw someone post about this on FB... supposedly it strengthens the fibers so that they won't run or tear as easily. Although I do think you wring out the water before you put it in the bag so they are just wet, not actually in a bag full of water.  

I haven't tried it, but since I was going to get some nude panty-hose tights to wear for my sister's wedding later in the month I might do this freezing method to see if it helps.
