So I saw this article on CNN and apparently mantyhose are at an all time high in sales.

What the heck are mantyhose? As the name (and the title of my post here) implies – they are pantyhose for men. Take a look at this photo below to see what I mean:

Personally, I find the concept of men wearing pantyhose, well, pretty down right creepy. Unless you’re a cross dresser – if you’re a cross dresser and you get your jollies from wearing them, then by all means I am not one to say you can’t wear pantyhose. Same goes if you’re wearing them for a medical reason, since they can help with swelling & circulation…(and I wouldn’t laugh at you if you were wearing them because your doctor made you…)

But if you’re looking to wear them for “warmth and support” or “added comfort” as CNN implied, are you crazy?

As a girl, I’ve unfortunately had to wear my fair share of pantyhose in my lifetime. Let me tell you, pantyhose are not comfortable. They are sticky. They are itchy. They are either “bunchy”…(as in they ride up your butt) or saggy (as in they are collecting around your ankles) and the damn things snag so much that sometimes you can ruin them just trying to put them on, which can sometimes be an Olympic feat all in it’s own just trying to get them on. (Especially if you just got out of the shower for some reason and your legs aren’t 100% dried off)

So while I’m not one to say men should or shouldn’t wear pantyhose, comfortable they certainly are not. And why call them mantyhose? The name itself seems a little degrading. Isn’t there another word for something you wear under your clothes? Yes, I think it’s called LONG UNDERWEAR.

Tell me guys, what do you think of this mantyhose phenomenon? Are you up for wearing them? Ladies, do you think wearing pantyhose is comfortable? How would you feel if your man was wearing these? (I would be laughing at mine!)

I wonder if this was included in the book 500 Things To Do With Pantyhose?
