Using your Kix'ies Anna Black Diamond Thigh - High Stockings is easy. Just put them on like you would any other thigh - high stockings. Pull them up slowly to make sure the silicone grip band sits comfortably on your thigh. When it comes to finding the right size, measure your height and thigh circumference as described. For maintenance, it's best to hand - wash these stockings in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric. After washing, gently squeeze out the excess water and lay them flat to dry. Don't wring them as it can stretch the material. Also, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the color and quality intact.
