Opaque tights
 
Do they cover up?
It's not cuts any more it's just scars there. I need to know if they cover scars or not :S.

Thanksss.

I don;t like opaque tights... I generally find patterned ones work fairly well though, they sort of break up any marks and make they un-noticable (unless you know that they are there and look for them of course ...) though that doesn;t work if you have any keloids...
keloids can mess up colourse tights too, but "Normal" scars are hiden by them pritty well.

opaque tights should work too, I just don;t like the way thicker tights feel against scars...

but I guess it all really depends on what your scars are like... but I find these things work, I only have the one keloid and it's pritty far up my thigh so can hide it with clothing. most tights will disguise general scars though

It's a dress I'm wearing to a gig and it's quite short. The new cuts are much higher up and are easily covered, the other scars are kinda old. I suppose if I try to get really dark tights it might work.

thanks =]

you just need a high whatever you call it, i like wearing 80, but 40 can be enought to cover then

ah, if you're going to a gig I'd assume it will be quite dark? and older scars are generally paler... therefore any apparent from the thinnest (or flesh coloured) tights should cover them pritty well

ye, I agree... as long as they are over 40 denier (can't spell it) they should do the job

Yeah, i wear about 40 dernia, and they're fine
If you're unsure, wear two pairs! haha it's what i always do, and it's cold atm anyway, so you can use that as your excuse :)

Thaaanks!
Yeaaah. It will be dark but I'm a bit paranoid. I've stopped for a week now, so if I can keep this up until 24th Feb maybe it will have healed more :).

it's a while off yet.

thanks
