Pantyhose aren't just for women anymore. Men are discovering pantyhose in increasing numbers and the upward sales trend for this fashion accessory is no laughing matter. Men have found out there are numerous advantages to wearing pantyhose. They are sometimes now referred to as mantyhose.
Health benefits are among the number one reason some men start to wear male stockings. When a physician recommends the wearing of compression garments in order to help increase circulation in the legs or to relieve the tired feeling of heavy legs, male pantyhose are often found to be much more comfortable than knee high or thigh high compression socks. They also help relieve swollen legs. Many athletes also report that they experience better performance in their chosen sport when wearing male pantyhose for compression purposes.
Men who work in professions that keep them outdoors in frigid temperatures such as policemen on the beat, construction workers, taxi drivers and postal carriers find that stockings offer a layer of warmth that makes staying out of doors much more comfortable and offer more support. Some men wear hose next to the skin beneath a layer of wool or cotton so that perspiration can be wicked away much more quickly in both hot as well as cold temperature extremes.
Men can wear stockings with or without regular underwear, just as some women do, and many men are finding they like the one-piece unit that can substitute for having to wear both socks and underwear. Designers are now offering men's pantyhose in the marketplace that is proportioned for the male torso so that they fit very comfortably without pinching or sagging. Some stocking styles even offer a fly opening to make using restroom facilities quicker and more convenient.
Men who at first were adverse to considering wearing men's pantyhose because of its association with cross-dressing or homosexuality soon find that the decision to wear pantyhose is primarily one of style, comfort or health. It is best to experiment with different sizes to find the right fit for the body.
They have no visible underwear or sock lines, making them an attractive fashion accessory for men who wear tight-fitting pants or costumes that require as smooth a body line as possible. Men find that their groin area and legs receive much more support when wearing stockings rather than traditional underwear with socks. Provided that the right size and style is selected to properly fit the body, men's hose can become a comfortable daily fashion accessory that carries many benefits.
