Men buying pantyhose: Ladies, what is your opinion or thoughts? Men, what kind of experiences have you had?
I work in sales, so I spend my entire day on my feet. I started wearing pantyhose after speaking to a female friend who works as a health care worker, I had mentioned how tired my legs felt at the end of my shift. She is partial to L’eggs and bought me a pair of Sheer Energy to try my next shift. I was really skeptical about them at first, but by my lunch break I was already amazed at the difference they made. By the end of the day, it felt as if I hadn’t been standing at all.
I have tried a variety of brands and styles, and usually try to buy brand-name whenever possible. I try to shop at clearance sales or discount outlets, in order to save money.
On Wednesday I had found out about a closing-out sale at a ladies wear store, the sale had started on Monday and things had been pretty well picked over. After digging through a clearance bin, I managed to find a pair of extra firm support hose that were normally $40 for only $5!
Whatever works for you, dude. If it’ll help you get thru your day, then by all means. We really don’t mind or think of it.
My uncle was allergic to mens briefs or boxers (the fabric gave him a rash) but he was uncomfy with not wearing undies. He used lace which was better (no rash) … and really, we don’t buy lace in the guys’ section, do we? I don’t think of him any less – the guy was a great horizontal structure engineer.
And don’t try to hide it. Be frank. It’s not a fetish – it’s a medical tool. Your guy friends shouldn’t react. If they do, they’re not your friends. The ladies know – is why I love them for their direct approach.
I am looking for a nude (not white-ish though) color and my legs are already tanned so I would like the pantyhose to be a a little tan (not brown-ish though), something natural and nice. I was wondering what color in Hanes Alive line you all recommend?
Also, what color in L’eggs Sheer Active support and L’eggs Control Top will look best on my legs?
Please help, thanks
Hanes Alive are my absolute favorites! Their version of the classic nude is Little Color but would have a hint of that whitish-pinkish tinge.
Barely There might be what you’re looking for. That is their light tan (don’t touch South Pacific…that’s for those who need deep extra tan added to their legs).
There is also a shade called Simply Natural, but that might be a tad light for your skin tone.
I’d go with Barely There…it’s their most popular skin shade on the market.
L’eggs only has suntan in one shade. Go with the Hanes…more choices in skin tone colors.
Barely There, from what you said, is your shade! Hope it turns out to be just right.
What are the best feeling, most comfortable pantyhose?
I’m trying to find the best feeling, most comfortable pantyhose (that are readily-ish available in the US). Cheap ones are too scratchy. I don’t like how binding control-top is. Some really sheer ones are too easy to run. I used to really really like the Hanes Irresistable Collection, but they stopped making them. If it’s worth it, spending a few extra dollars is ok. But this is for everyday wear, so Wolford pantyhose are too expensive. I’m just looking for something I might be able to find at a department store. So I’d love to hear your two cents. What do you like and why?
Victoria’s Secret makes the best panty hose, in my opinion. They are very silky and they have lots of options, as far as thigh high, control top, etc. They’re reasonably priced, too, for the quality.
