My mum always tied one leg of old pantyhose to cover the end of the tube from the washing machine where all the dirty water gets pumped out into the drain...

I think I'll try that, thanks!

Another use: cut off both legs of a pair of pantyhose, cut straight across the toes and roll them up into a hair donut, one after the other. Tie your hair into a ponytail, slip the hair donut over it, pin your hair over and around the donut and hey presto, you've got a chignon!

I also reuse panty hose that's only broken in one leg by making "franken-hose": I cut off the broken leg and pair the other one up with a second pair of tights that has received the same treatment. You end up with two panty-sections which is not very glamorous but hey, who's to know?
