Retro remedies - do they really work?

Static skirts

Fabric conditioner rubbed into tights stops static cling on skirts?

GHI VERDICT It works! There are anti-static sprays you can buy to do the same job, but this method works equally well. Pour a little fabric conditioner on to your hands and rub it on your tights - while you're wearing them. It's a little bit messy, but worth it to stop your skirts sticking and riding up.
