FAQs

What is the key benefit of the Plain Top Hold Ups?

The primary benefit is the integrated silicone strips on the thigh band, which allow the hold-ups to stay securely in place without the need for suspenders, offering a smooth and flawless look.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided. For size Large (L), it is typically designed for UK dress sizes 16-18. Ensuring the correct fit is crucial for both comfort and the effectiveness of the silicone grip.

Can I wear these hold-ups with suspenders?

While they are designed to be worn without suspenders due to the silicone grip, you could technically wear them with a garter belt if preferred, though it is not necessary for them to stay up.

How should I care for my hold-ups to ensure longevity?

Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or use fabric softeners. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'glossy finish' mean?

The 'glossy finish' refers to a slight sheen on the fabric, which gives the legs a polished, smooth, and subtly radiant appearance.

Will the silicone strips irritate my skin?

The silicone is designed for comfort and hold. However, if you have particularly sensitive skin or experience irritation, discontinue use. Ensure the skin is clean and dry for best results.

Are these suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, their no-suspender design and comfortable fit make them suitable for everyday wear, especially under outfits where a smooth leg line is desired.

Troubleshooting

Hold-ups sliding down the leg

Ensure the thigh area is clean and dry before application. Reapply the hold-ups, making sure the silicone band is positioned correctly and lies flat against the skin. Check if the size is appropriate; a too-large size may not provide sufficient grip.

Discomfort or irritation from the silicone band

Ensure the hold-ups are not rolled or bunched up. If irritation persists, the material or silicone may not be suitable for your skin. Try a different brand or style. Ensure you are wearing the correct size; if too tight, it can cause discomfort.

Nylon fabric snagging or running

Handle with care when putting on and taking off. Avoid contact with sharp objects, jewelry, or rough surfaces. Always hand wash gently and avoid wringing.

Silicone band losing stickiness

This can occur with age and wear. Ensure proper cleaning by hand washing with mild soap and cool water. Avoid fabric softeners and drying machines. If stickiness is permanently lost, the hold-ups may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These hold-ups are ready to wear straight from the package. Ensure your legs are clean, dry, and free of lotions or oils where the silicone band will sit for optimal adhesion. Gently roll or pull the hold-ups up your leg to the desired position, ensuring the silicone band rests comfortably and securely on your thigh.

Compatibility: Designed for adult females. The nylon material is generally compatible with most skin types, but discontinue use if irritation occurs. The glossy finish complements a variety of outfits, from everyday wear to more formal or intimate attire. For optimal fit, refer to the size guide: Large (L) typically corresponds to UK dress sizes 16-18.

Care: To maintain the integrity of the silicone band and the fabric, hand wash the hold-ups in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the silicone and the nylon fibres. Do not tumble dry; instead, gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid ironing.
