A walk in the park

It was a Saturday morning and wife was bringing one of the boys to an excursion to Hort Park, while I brought the younger boy for his chiropractic session.  I was wearing my 3/4 capri cargo pants with Leggs Sheer Energy hosiery (in suntan colour).

No 2nd looks at the chiropractic clinic.  The session was over in like 10 mins.  So I was to go to Hort Park to meet my wife and elder son.   By then the morning sun was already shining brightly.  Walking under the sun would mean that those hose would definitely "glow".

The park was not very crowded, with some groups of tourists and children running around the playground. It was a nice walk from the carpark to the playground and there was no shelter to prevent the sun from shining on my hosed legs.  Bravely walked past groups of tourists and some small families.  Did not noticed anyone taking a 2nd look.  Maybe those Leggs Sheer Energy did not "glow" as much from their angle of view.  

Overall, it was a very pleasant day at the park and the boys really enjoyed themselves running around the playground.

Questions about men wearing pantyhose - Part 2


Q: With women hating pantyhose because they're uncomfortable, why men want to wear support pantyhose? 
A: One of the biggest reasons that women find pantyhose uncomfortable is because they either don't buy the right size for themselves, or they buy cheap ($2.99) pantyhose that not only don't last long, but also tend to itch and bind.  Cheap hosiery may also droop and sag, which can be really annoying. Women also think the support and/or control top styles of pantyhose are overly constrictive and are difficult to put on.  
All of the foregoing issues would certainly make anyone think twice or even thrice before wearing such a garment.  However, if the support or control top pantyhose is bought in the right size according to your height and weight, the snug fit of support hosiery with a control top need not feel constricting.  Matching your height to the size of the pantyhose will ensure that the length of the pantyhose fits just right and that means a snug fit at the crotch area, no sagging.  Then matching your weight will ensure a snug, not overly tight fit of the pantyhose around your waist an hips.  I find that control top pantyhose actually fits better than non-control top pantyhose.  No sagging.  
Men also tend to be more truthful about size when it comes to buying support hosiery, while women tend to under-size their hosiery.  Get the right size and the fit will be so nice and snug that you can forget you are wearing them.

Questions about men wearing pantyhose - Part 1

Q: What are the actual benefits to men who wear pantyhose?

A: Support pantyhose is equally well suited to men as to women...The potential benefits are many and varied. I myself first began wearing them to help ease leg fatigue as I sit for long hours at the desk and also had to endure long drives to work (sometimes up to 2 hours due to heavy traffic). The support pantyhose/tights helped alleviate the "tired, heavy feeling" and the achiness due to long periods of being seated in the chair. Many men who work in jobs that keep them on their feet all day, or are sitting for long stretches, find benefits in wearing support style pantyhose/tights.

Many men who begin wearing support hose or tights later discovered that they're great for relieving leg aches and helps provide improved blood circulation in the legs. Support style tights or pantyhose also provide light muscle compression that helps ward off muscle cramps and enhance stamina.

Apart from the added support for the legs, I also find that the pantyhose/tights provided the needed warmth in the cold air-conditioning of the office.

More questions and answers to come ... stay tuned.
