Interesting comment there, Kim. You are operating under the mistaken impression that no men ever wear pantyhose. I am a straight man that loves to wear pantyhose; I don’t find them uncomfortable at all, unless they’re Control Top which is why I simply do not wear Control Top. I also love to see women’s legs in pantyhose and you cannot say I don’t know what it’s like to wear pantyhose.

You are absolutely right. Men love to see a nice legs in pantyhose or stockings 90 out of 100.

I see a lot of women complain that they arent comfy or durable and get runs: SHAVE YOUR LEGS, CUT YOUR NAILS AND STOP BUYING DOLLAR STORE CRAP!!! With pantyhose just like anything else , you get roughly what you pay for , its not the pantyhose that is not comfortable its the crappy ones, and Stop wearing always the same old cheap colors like somewhat navy blue and almost black or off white , if its off then its not it!, Best brand I know of: WOLFORD the fatal model should work wonders on most men, the sheen and colors rock.And they feel VERY sexy.

I am 16 years old.
I like wearing tights with a t-shirt in my house.
And I do not leave my house without a pantyhose,
especially in those days when I wear a skit.
My legs look gorgeous and even attractive.

As a woman, I loathe what you call ‘pantyhose’ and what the British call tights. They are horrid. I much prefer stockings. Far sexier and easier to wear and more hygienic. Definitely not granniefied either!

To all those women who can’t get boyfriends, try a pair of stockings on a date with a garter belt. You may be pleasantly surprised.

its got nothing to do with heat.  Stockings or some kind of nylons just makes anyones legs look great.  Its dressy, formal, looks nice.
Anyone who wears a dress or skirt needs to wear stockings.
you will look just that much better.  And it is comfortable.

I’m a male, and i’m not gay but I do wear Pantyhose under pants in cooler months and I also wear them under shorts at times in cooler months for support and Comfort..Men used to wear hose many many years ago so if women hate wearing why don’t they make them for men so we could be accepted ..I have alot of female friends think I look great in them and I personally enjoy the silky feeling…I was curious as to what other women think…

You girls. You already have to the bodies to drive us men crazy. Have you ever compared women’s legs and men’s? It’s art against nature; beauty vs. the beast. And by wearing pantyhose you really can finish us off. You hide’em revealingly. You make us wanna feel them, but won’t permit. The shiny draws us like moth to a flame, only to burn up in sheer bliss.

For me a woman’s leg is 100x sexier covered in pantyhose. The hosiery industry made tremendous efforts in the past years to make pantyhose sexy, comfortable, a joy to wear. Try a few luxury pairs ( check the lycra content – the more, the softer, shinier and even more elastic to fit better ).

Here’s my two cents.

I will admit that I am a guy who enjoys wearing nylons, both pantyhose and stockings, for sexual purposes and I absolutely LOVE seeing women wearing them.  I personally prefer stockings because of their raw sex appeal, but very much appreciate and adore pantyhose as well.  There are also times where I like bare leg.  I’m very hetrosexual and enjoy a very good sex life.  But that’s neither here nor there.

I completely understand why many women don’t like wearing them.  I found that most of them buy the crappy drugstore type (i.e. Leggs and No Nonsense) or more mediocore brands like Hanes.  Also for pantyhose wearers, many opt for a control top, which only benefits you by making your body look slightly slimmer at the great expense of comfort.  For those that wear hose because either because they have to for work or simply want to, try some of the better brands sold in botiques and department stores.

American brands in general do not hold a candle to European brands.  In my personal opinion, Wolfords are hands down the best hose brand out there.  They are pricey, but well worth it because they last much longer, way more comfortable, and feel much better than the lower end brands by far.  Any woman (or man) who wears hose should at least try one pair of them.  You WILL notice the difference and it will make wearing hose at least much more bearable if not enjoyable.  If you’re more budget minded, the Victorias Secret line works very well.  A very good combo of quality and affordability, and imported from Europe.  Good websites to hit up are Beautyrose.com, shapings.com, and mytights.com All carry very good quality of hose.

Overall, avoid the cheapos and control tops at all costs.  Remember that there are many different styles and patterns out there, from mild to wild.  Select the ones that fit your personality the best, and have fun with it.

As a man, I must sympathize with women when it comes to wearing hose. I’ve heard they can be uncomfortable, hot, run too easily, etc so I can’t comment as to say you should wear them for our benefit, it’s not really fair. But I will say thanks to those who do when it’s appropriate for the outfit, because they really complement the legs of almost anyone, good legs or not. My wife wears them to work and even out on occasion, she said they can be a pain (especially the cheap pairs) but they do improve her legs a lot (not my words but hers, and I agree!) She’s 33 and has both pantyhose and thigh-highs, and has at times worn them with open-toed shoes, though she says for that they must be “sandlefoot” ? Not sure what that is, but I like em!

In answer to the women who say men don’t know what women go thru by wearing pantyhose i say you are wrong. Many men are wearing pantyhose in 2006. Several companies even make them for us too. I wear them myself daily and they are quite comfortable if you get the proper size. I find the trend of barelegged,barefoot,painted toes with sandles look ugly,lazy,cheap and just disgusting.
