Why men should be proud to be wearing hosiery?

Things have changed a lot about wearing of hosiery over the last several centuries. There was a time back in the 1400’s when it was the men who wore legwear or hosiery or tights predominately. You know the images we all have of guys wearing hose and leotards, well that was not far from the truth at all. Then women discovered the beauty of hosiery and then the notion that hosiery was meant for women only. Finally the times are changing again.  More and more men are rediscovering the benefits of wearing hosiery, especially support hosiery.

In fact the use of hosiery among men is getting to be so popular and so accepted that Entrepreneur Magazine published an article that included the quote: "One item U.S. military personnel are asking for is pantyhose. Dating back to his days as a professional football player, Bart Star said he wore pantyhose for warmth during games. Now, that might give some people pause, but pantyhose are one way that military personnel can protect themselves from pesky sand fleas."  

If the military are willing to wear hosiery then why are other men worried about wearing hosiery.  Worried that it will make them seem to girlie? The truth is that if all men wore support hosiery, there would be a lot less health problems for them to contend with.

This can aid one with dealing with diseases like diabetes as well, and if you suffer from diabetes then you know how any thing that can help is a godsend. Male population suffer from varicose vein as much as women and support hosiery help to improve blood flow and massage your legs to help veins in pushing blood towards the heart.  Even doctors prescribe support hosiery to people that suffer from swelling feet or fatigue legs, with no differentiation between men and women. 


Of course the fact that hosiery also helps a man to stay warm during colder weather, that is all good and well. This is a comfortable way to stay nice and warm no matter what the temperature drops to. And best of all hosiery is very comfortable.
