I have several pairs of the Ames-Walker "Leotards" that are specifically made for men. I am 6'4" 225# and they fit well.Texture is a little rough though

Are any of the made-for-men hose a true medical compression, like 20-30mmHg? With varicose veins I am supposed to wear them but what I have tried from med manuf. are very expensive and too short.

Geradenby Geraden

 

I am known as Geraden. And I am a man who enjoys wearing tights.

I have already posted here the story of how I started wearing. I am going to bring the story up to date over a series of entries.

Geraden in black

There are some things that I wish I did not have to say. Unfortunately, because of the assumptions that people tend to make, I must explain that:

  • I do not dress as a woman.
  • I do not try to look like a woman. (if you look at my photo you may chuckle at the thought!)
  • I have no desire to be a woman.
  • I do not have homosexual inclinations
  • Tights are not a fetish for me.

so why wear them?

  • Tights are comfortable and give warmth without bulk.
  • Tights energise legs and prevent aches and cramps
  • Tights enhance the way legs look and feel.
  • Tights protect against irritation from wool in clothing
  • Tights protect against biting insects

So what do you want to know?

Name : Geraden - of course I have another name, but Geraden will do for now. Why Geraden?

Just found your site and a very interesting read. I am 60, male , and have been wearing tights for comfort and warmth for many years. The trouble is there are lots of fetish sites about guys in hose and I think that is why we all get tarred with the same brush! but as an alternative to long johns, they are brilliant! Although, personally I would not wear tights with shorts, NOT because I think there is anything wrong with that, just that if I am warm enought for shorts, then I don't need tights. I will say that my legs would look better if I did, more shape and definition. Keep up the good work!

Hi Tim

Thanks for visiting and commenting.

I cannot understand why anyone wears long johns any more, especially the itchy woolly ones. Tights are so much better!

LONG JOHNS ARE PANTS!

Hi Lizandro

Greetings to you too, and to other tights wearers in Mexico.

You are very lucky if you can afford to buy Wolford and Oroblu at your age!

Saludos

I don't wear pantyhose or stockings as a fetish, but I'll have to admit they feel so sexy.

Just found your site and I am glad to see others of a like mind.

I started wearing tights because of my eczema, my wife suggested it might help me stop scratching my legs, and it has - they work fantastically.

But I have since noticed that tights make sense as a basic garment of clothing in so many ways - they are comfortable, warming, protect from woolen trousers etc.

I hope it becomes a more socially acceptable garment of clothing for men as it makes so much sense.

Cheers, Steve

Hi Steve

Glad you like the site. I have never heard of that reason for wearing tights, but if it works, why not?

But have you noticed that girls who are wearing tights stroke their legs much more (and even scratch them lightly) than girls who have bare legs? Same applies to me, too!

Do come back often.

I had a few extra minutes to read your site today, and noticed on this entry that you say that tights (hoisery) will protect against insect bites. I was thinking of wearing hoisery this spring/summer while hiking to prevent tick bites. I thought that even if they do bite, the tick will come off when you take off the hose.

Just looked back in here and read Steve's comment about ezema, or however it is spelt! ( sorry) What Steve says is true, I get small patches of it on my legs Tights put a layer between my legs and my trousers, so they don't rub my ezma as I walk

hello Geraden,

  • I've came across your page through google, and read almost each blog. it's very interesting and surprising that there are other men that like the comfort of tight/pantyhose. In my mind i thought there were only a few but, it makes me alot more comfortable about wearing them my self. At first i thought it was some time of fetish, so i was kinda freaking out at first, but after while they just starting to feel normal, but i was still scared that i might just be a few of men that enjoyed them... so thanks for creating this blog page, and i have a few questions to ask my email is coldnylon@hotmail.com thanks.
