The XXI century
is not only the age of high technology and development of human cognition
horizons. The XXI century is the time of sexual revolution that allows to
extent the rights and privileges of the soft sex in the world. And this century
gave «bonuses» for men either. In many spheres it equalized men and women in
rights. And so far as women are entitled to wear pants and receive an adequate
salary, to run for the state posts and succeed in life, then men could relax a
bit if the part of their functions lies heavy on fragile women shoulders, at
first and second, they found lots of useful stuff in «unisex» style.
And one of
this valuable stuff is pantyhose which refer to a garment typically worn by
women. And during the ringing frost women had to manage with not very nice and
not very comfortable though warm long johns, or underpants.
Any brutal
macho man would get insulted a dozen years ago if he was offered warm pantyhose
to wear. Nowadays he is free to choose a model to his taste. At the market of
pantyhose for men there are various types and kinds of them, from ones that
correct the shape of legs, from the esthetic point of view, to the ones that
support blood circulation, from medical point of view. The selection of special
pantyhose from sheer to black, from thin to very densed.
Thus, for
cold winter evenings the pantyhose models in 70 and 100 den are quite essential.
Today men finally realize that pantyhose are a comfortable, reliable and styled
garment not only assigned for women.
And that
fact that throughout the history the pantyhose were the prerogative of women is
wrong. During the reign of the Roman Empire lower-class men who were busy with
heavy work used to wear tight fitted pants. In the XIV century the skin-tight
pants resembling the present pantyhose were included in the men's wardrobe of
all classes. The tighter were the pants, the more expensive they cost. And the
price was higher as the tighter they were. Yet, men considered honestly that
this garment emphasized their masculinity. And the time when women tried to put
them on, the men high opposed to this idea. Suspecting that women tried to
usurp, they made all attempts not to fail in this battle for pants.
The history
has always been developing as the time flies and very soon women won the right
to wear pants. And not only this stuff. They also convinced their poor husbands
that the prerogative to wear pants belonged to women, and only women. And poor
men only failed to overcome this stigma that is extremely harmful for them, for
the health, and you want to know why?
The point
is that a woman who neglects to wear tights during the cold winter period has
all chances to have her kidneys or ovaries chilled. And also it is easy digging
for a man to chill his prostate. Thus, one should never consider only women as things
tender and easy susceptible to chills. We should take care of our men either! And
especially of those parts to be caringly warmed by comfortable pantyhose in
winter time. And the fact that men used to secretly buy tights and wore them as
protection from cold is another evidence that this garment is the integral part
of unisex style. It is rather universal and good for both men and women.
In spite of
this dry fact the current manufacturers spend a fortune and hold brainstorming
sessions to find out the tool to overcome the «womanly» image of the pantyhose.
In the opinion of many people, men wearing pantyhose are considered
crossdressers or transvestites or fetishist or whatever else. Though the secret
of the pantyhose's popularity is as easy as a pie: they are more comfortable
than the warm but ugly and crude men's long johns.
The Company
G. Lieberman & Sons (GLS Hosiery) was the first to start to manufacture and
market pantyhose for the modern consumers. When the Company opened a storefront
with its products on the web, it wanted the market review from the marketing
analysts. And the survey findings greatly surprised the Company Management. It
was found out that a great number of men bought and wore ordinary women's
pantyhose as just a regular clothing garment and considered them as unisex
thing.
And
afterwards the Company manufactured and marketed a special model of men's
pantyhose Comfilon also known as Activskin. These pantyhose won a great
popularity and were marketed in a few dozens of thousand pairs a year.
In general,
for the last 5 to 6 years, the production volume of the male product line
increased four times. Nowadays this business involves the most influential companies
in the sphere of pantyhose and stockings production.
However,
some men still feel doubtful and as winter comes they again pull on their old
good long underwear. They are too timid to go and wear pantyhose and forget
that women are not going to be shocked with this fact, though. The soft sex
puts on pantyhose every winter. Apart from it, sheer pantyhose help to conceal
skin defects while opaque pantyhose improve athletic performance visually. Some
men wear pantyhose under trousers to avoid wearing socks. The advantage is that
there is no need to look for the matching pair of socks or go out in different
ones.
Another
privilege is that pantyhose keep warmth very well. In spite of the fact that
up-to-date threads are too fine, they provide warmth to the legs. You'd better
wear pantyhose and ironically appear to your significant other in them. And do
not be afraid that she would laugh! Otherwise you will gain the prostatitis
that is likely to grow to the adenoma of prostate gland. And wearing pantyhose
is nothing to compare with that!
