My skirts go all "static" when I wear opaque tights and boots - help!

[PuppyMonkey]

Does anyone else get this? When I wear my nice skirts and tights, they seem to go all static and the skirt is forever rising up and not in a good way. How do I stop it happening?????

wear a slip underneath, or avoid synthetic carpets

slip
hairspray on tights

Ooh, do slips still exist???

Hairspray sounds like a good idea ta.

Do like me.."Dont wear Tights" i never do..[or ever have] car'nt stand em.

Slips from M&S - £8 I think mine was - but if anybody knows where I could get a black silk slip that comes to sort of mid thigh or just below I would be very grateful. They do make a difference.

Apparantly a safety pin in the hem of your skirt stops this. I haven't tried it though.

Few more ideas here

TskullsScreaming - thanks for that website, they are great tips and will try them!

I can't bear the thought of no tights on a cold day - or slips!

the word pantyhose is fantastic. much better than tights.

Does anyone wear petticoats these days?!

I've seen a spray that eliminates it. I think it's in the Kleeneze catalogue.

Yep, it's Kleeneze Click on Luandry, then go forward a page. It's at the top - £3.50.

You mean slips Mercy ... Ta No Nickname, but I might try the "free" solutions first and see how I get on.

I've always been a very static person...oooh my hair against a wall.... Sticks right up!!

noooo, slips are little boys' underpants (apparently)

I was told that a safety pin the back seam stops this, but I only ever wear jeans.

only in M&S Mercy

Slips are so not underpants!!!

why o why?

they are confused

confusing

Snap!!

mother2daughters is a freak, ignore ignore ignore.

Another vote for kleeneze antistatic spray. It is brilliant for frizzy/flyaway hair too - just spray a tiny bit on your hair brush. I spray the inside of my skirt (while still on the hanger , let it dry, and it is fine.

To avoid or get rid of static, I used to run the bottom edge of a metal clothes hanger over the inside of skirt (you know the type you get from the drycleaners.
