Every time I buy Tights and Stockings they ladder straight away - why?

A common situation is that men forget to cut their toe nails, so make sure yours are nice and short, especially on your 'Big Toes'!

Roll your stockings/tights slowly up from your ankle. This does take a bit of practice. Perhaps you need a thicker denier (texture) until you have had more experience, they are more robust to handle than flimsy nylon. Do not forget to always buy two pairs of stockings at a time, so if you do ladder one pair you have a spare pair. Transformation have an excellent selection of Tights and Stockings that you can purchase without embarassment, including a range for longer legs.

I am desperate to meet other people who dress. Sometimes I feel very lonely and isolated and would give anything to have a friend who understood! What do you suggest?

Well Gina, you have quite a few options open to you. Obviously you could 'Chat on-line' and get to know people that way. If you arrange to meet anyone its always sensible to meet in a well-lit public place and tell someone where you are going.

In the Transformation Shops they sell 'Contact' Magazines, with telephone numbers included. You could place an advert yourself, and wait for people to contact you. Transformation Shops also hold dun days. You could go along and experience a 'Changeaway'. Its a great chance for some girlie fun and you will also make lots of new friends. Ring your local Transformation shop for details. Hope this given you some ideas Gina. Good Luck there are plenty of people 'out there' who like you are keen to make new friends...
