Many people do not realize that pantyhose have many benefits for men and women. Men wear for warmth in winter and to fight leg fatigue. Hosiery for men is a growing market.

Some people may think this because of Gender Fashion Stereo types as well as Marketing strategies. Pantyhose in general are marketed to Females, not males. Fashion has made clothing for females to showcase nylon clad legs (skirts, dress and etc...).
Nothing wrong with a guy in hose, if he likes them and wants to keep his legs warm in cool weather, or have something tight on his legs for circulation.
Just need to get the fashion and media to stop making people think it is only for women...

When pantyhose were first sold, they were marketed to women as a replacement for stockings and girdles. Many people probably never gave it a thought that men would wear them also.
These days, the idea of men wearing pantyhose is becoming more accepted.

If they have thongs for men or "man purses" then why can't men wear pantyhose. If it makes you feel better call them underhose/tights. Also remember they have tedhose for diabetic people, so that their legs and feet don't swell as much!

Last I checked men don't wear pantys so why would they be wearing pantyhose?

It's what's most common to them. Most don't realize there are such products for men too.
This is not advertising it is just showing..

I wore pair under regular clothing when cleaning as a janitor and therefore my skin didn't get so dirty as it would If I hadn't wore them! Some Chicken Coop cleaners and gardeners wear them too to keep from getting so dirty!
