I have a cotton type skirt that sticks to my tights. I own a short slip but it is not long enough for the knee length skirt. I went to go buy a slip but it is no longer sold. Any other suggestions? Or is there a brand of tights that would not stick to my skirt?

It does, but you can also buys lips online -- I've bought a few on amazon.com lately. I always wear a slip if a skirt isn't lined.

They were no particular brand; I just searched on what I needed (long, black, half slip, etc.), saw the results and bought one -- they were very inexpensive.

Try spreading lotion all over your legs ON TOP OF your tights. Use an inexpensive, fairly thin lotion of the type sold in dollar stores, not a thick, rich lotion that you should use under the tights. The lotion will both fight static cling and help prevent itchiness by keeping your skin moisturized. Tights suck up the moisture from your legs like nobody's business.

OOtbubby, my problem with slips is that I hate to wear them because I'm always afraid I'm slipping.
Also, the slips stick to my tights and skirts too.

Get a really short slip. I have a slip that's a few inches above my knees.

For a quick fix if you don't have static guard on hand, you can moisten your hands slightly and run them along the inside of your skirt.

I also always wear a slip.

rub a sheet of fabric softener over your tights. test it on an area that doesn't show, it may leave white residue, depends on the brand. I used to do this winter mornings before going to school. my uniform always clung, and I never wore slips. fabric softener works wonders.

I wasn't old enough to be a lady Smile

actually, I don't know many people who are old enough to be "ladies." seems to me that you have to be at least 70 to be a lady. at that age, I'm not asking them if they wear slips...

All the static generated really gets the action going when I touch something metal.

This my sound weird but it works for me, I iron my slips with spray-on starch. It works.

for a quick fix run a metal hangar down the inside of your skirt.

naturalmom, I can always pretend to wear a slip and be classy. class is not based solely on undergarments. I think it's more classy to have people less aware of what is under my skirt than to tell people I wear a slip because I'm not looking for action Twisted Evil
