23 Uses For Pantyhose…Saving You Time & Money

Pantyhose…oh I do not miss wearing you!

The other day while I was cleaning out drawers and closets I ran across an old pair of pantyhose. My first thought was, wow, these must be at least 20 years old, and my second thought was, wow, why have you held on to these for over 20 years? For my young friends who may have never suffered through wearing a pair of these, they were at one time almost mandatory for women to wear, especially if you were going out in public. I remember when I was a little girl I actually looked forward to the day I would have my first pair, kind of like a rite of passage into womanhood. Yes, that was a long time ago!

Before I tossed them I decided to see if there was another purpose I could use them for since I knew I would never be putting them on. Seriously, they are so old they would probably fall apart once I stuck my foot in. Anyway, turns out there are some really cool ways you can use pantyhose around the house to actually make your life more simple or save you some money.

*Here’s an interesting read on how and why pantyhose were invented. (Invented by a man for his pregnant wife back in the 50’s.)
