every time i wear tights i end up ripping a hole in them before the night is over.
Ive been wearing pretty polly ones. Its really starting to get annoying as i have to buy new ones each time i go out.

Any suggestions of strong tights, ways of preventing splittage (drunk proof)? Would hold ups work better?

dunno about how to stop them ripping but if u do rip them clear nail polish is the best thing to stop them laddering even more.

Hairspray. Know it sounds freaky but it stops a ladder as soon as it starts - just give your legs a li'l spray and you're safe for the night! I've only done it once though, as it made my legs feel funny when I took my tights off.

Thicker tights?!

But yeah nail polish works, never tried hairspray.
You might want to try different brands, but i don't know. Tights rip and ladder, it's there nature.

Debenhams ladder resist ones are really good for not laddering. And they are only £4 for 5 pairs.
