FAQs
What is the main advantage of these hold-ups?
The main advantage is the secure fit provided by the silicone strips around the thigh, eliminating the need for suspenders while offering a smooth, flawless leg appearance.
What size should I choose if I'm usually a UK size 18?
The XL size is recommended for UK dress sizes 20-22. For a size 18, you might consider the Large (16-18) for a snugger fit or the XL for a more relaxed fit. It's best to check the brand's specific size chart if available.
Can I wear these with suspenders for extra security?
While designed to stay up without suspenders, you could technically wear them with suspenders if desired, though it is not necessary and might alter the intended fit.
How do I prevent the silicone strips from losing their grip?
Avoid applying lotions, oils, or powders to your thighs before wearing the hold-ups. Clean the silicone strips gently with a damp cloth if they become soiled and allow them to air dry completely.
What is the material of the hold-ups?
The hold-ups are made from Nylon, providing a comfortable feel and a glossy finish.
Are these suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, they are designed for comfortable wear and can be used for everyday occasions as well as special events, provided they are cared for properly.
How do I wash these hold-ups?
Hand wash them in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Lay them flat to dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Hold-ups not staying up
Ensure the silicone strips are clean and dry. Make sure the correct size is being worn, as too small can cause rolling. Avoid applying lotions or oils to the thigh area before wearing.
Uneven finish or visible seams
Ensure the hold-ups are rolled down and unrolled carefully without twisting. Adjust the fabric to lie flat against the leg.
Discomfort from silicone strips
If irritation occurs, try wearing for shorter periods or consider an alternative hosiery solution. Ensure the skin is dry and free of irritants.
Fabric snagging or tearing
Handle with care during application and removal. Avoid wearing with rough fabrics or jewelry that could catch the nylon. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.
