Mantyhose is Pantyhose for Men


Why would a man want to wear pantyhose....?

There's a myriad of reasons:
  • NFL football players wearing them under uniforms in cold weather
  • Hunters, campers and skiers wearing them as a base layer beneath other cold weather attire
  • Men with varicose veins or other circulatory problems that require surgical hosiery
  • Horseback riders wearing them to prevent chafing and saddle sores
  • Fishermen wearing them to prevent stings from jellyfish when they wade in the surf
  • Scuba divers wear them to add thermal warmth and aid in the removal of wetsuits
  • For erotic fetish arousal - the best reason of all...
In American English, the term pantyhose refers to a garment traditionally worn by women, at least since their introduction in 1959. However, some manufacturers also produce pantyhose for men (or male pantyhose, "mantyhose" or men's legwear).

Why go to the major expense and trouble to locate men's pantyhose when Hanes pantyhose is a silky, sensuous alternative experience, that can be easily modified for men.

In 1996 L'eggs, a US pantyhose company opened a storefront together with a product-related bulletin board on the web. They soon discovered that most of the visitors talking about their products were men. After conducting a survey in 1998, Steven Katz came to the conclusion that, in fact, many men were wearing pantyhose as a regular clothing item, and would buy leggings in a well-targeted male product range, if it existed.

Based on this survey and other market research, G. Lieberman & Sons (GLS Hosiery) began to manufacture and market ComfiLon in 1999, which became Activiskin in 2002. Comfilon/ActivSkin was so successful it inspired Levee, a German buy pantyhose manufacturer to create a unisex product line called WoMan in 2002. Wolford, a German luxury hosiery manufacturer also introduced 'Waistsocks' for men. Nearly every year since then at least one manufacturer has entered the market with a male product line, such as Collanto in Germany and Gerbe in France.

The market for men's buy pantyhose has continued to grow steadily since 1999. While ActivSkin, the leading seller of male pantyhose and tights, does not release specific sales data, they now sell to customers worldwide in 76 countries and have reported growth each year since their inception. An important component of that growth is continued expansion of public awareness of this phenomenon. A blog called The Nylon Gene was launched in early 2009 to provide background information on men's buy pantyhose, as well as opinion pieces and sample photography. To manage public relations and serve as spokesman for issues related to men's pantyhose in the U.S. media, GLS hired Steve Newman in 2009. The company expects to reach a tipping point in the near future with respect to public perception and growth of the male pantyhose and tights trend. As an addition to the constantly getting larger family of men legwear manufacturers, there is another producer in Eastern Europe called Tim Legwear that is testing the local market with men tights and leggings.

Men who wear buy pantyhose as a regular item of clothing have come to the attention of the media with increasing frequency since 2002, beginning with a front page Wall Street Journal article on the subject, entitled "Kingsize, Not Queen: Some Men Are Taking to Wearing Pantyhose". Some of the reasons for wearing them include:
  • to stimulate circulation if working in a profession that requires them to sit all day, or conversely, if on their feet for extended periods of time. In addition, compression can help reduce swelling and decrease the dangers of circulatory problems.
  • to improve athletic performance, energize and revitalize tired, aching leg muscles
One can find both sheer and opaque buy pantyhose for men, the denier ranging from 8 den (very sheer) to over 100 den (opaque). They usually come in black, brown, tan and navy blue colors. In the U.S., hosiery above 70 den are usually referred to as 'tights'. This threshold is subjective, and hosiery of lesser denier may be considered tights in the U.S. vocabulary.

Some men wear pantyhose under trousers, with or without socks, while an increasing number are now wearing them with shorts. They have found that it is not necessary to give up the benefits of leg support and comfort while wearing short pants. It is very difficult to notice pantyhose closely matching skin color, as long as leg hair is either removed or kept closely trimmed. As men's buy pantyhose continues to move from the periphery toward mainstream acceptance, more men are also wearing colored legwear (black, blue, dark brown) with shorts.
