A TikToker has revealed an “amazing” hack that you can use to stop your tights from ripping on a night out – and it’s safe to say people are eager to give it a go themselves
As the chilly season rages on, those festive party outfits might need an extra layer to fend off the cold – and tights are a stylish solution.
They add both warmth and elegance to any ensemble, but there’s a catch. Thin tights are notorious for tearing at the slightest catch, potentially ruining your polished look with an unsightly ladder, leading to their untimely disposal.
But fear not, a savvy woman on social media has come to the rescue with a ‘lifesaving’ hack that promises to keep your tights intact, ensuring you can dance the night away worry-free.

And the best part is that it involves a beauty product you probably already have at home, costing under £1. TikToker Eabha O’Donoghue shared her brilliant tip in a viral video, amassing over 200k views in just 24 hours, reports the Express.
Preparing for a night out, wearing in a leather jacket, sequinned shorts, and tights, she spritzed her legs with hairspray – a move hailed by viewers as the ‘best hack ever’.
The captions on Eabha’s video read: “Spraying my tights with hairspray so they don’t rip was probably the best thing I have ever discovered.”
With hairspray available for as little as 85p at Bodycare and 89p at Savers, this trick is a budget-friendly lifesaver for tight-wearers everywhere.
Experts at Good Housekeeping have also hailed hairspray for extending the life of your tights. They advised: “Spraying your tights with hairspray once you’ve put them on will apparently help to reinforce the fibres, though be sure to give yourself just a light spray rather than a dousing.”
In the comments section of the TikTok video, viewers were quick to thank Eabha for the tip, with many planning to test it out immediately.
One user wrote: “Wait this is genius!” while another stated: “This is life saving.”
A third chimed in, calling it the “Yess best hack ever.”
