Mantyhose: make them wonder what's under

We're okay with having men in tights and apparently Pretty Boys around the world like being in them. Steven Katz, co-owner of Comfilon's Activskin Legwear for Men, told NBC he came up with the idea because, "men were being told by their doctors that they needed compression legwear for knee problems, So they were sent to buy women's hosiery, and that was embarrassing for them."

He went on to say that "while the market for men's pantyhose in the U.S. is "tiny," 2008 has been "our best year ever." We're wondering if mantyhose is "tiny" in the US, where is it "huge"?


Mantyhose or shall I say, Activskin Legwear for Men, actually looks quite sporty. Not ice dancer sporty, think speed skater sporty or even better dirt bike dude-bro sporty. Apparently it really is all in the legs according their ad below.


Comfilon isn't the only company to get on this trend. The sexy guys over at Sculptees developed body shaping wear for men (manly spanx). Their goal is to "make them wonder what's under."

Apparently, nothing is sexier than the $54 Jimmy Brief, that has a relaxing crotch panel that lifts and supports to give you a nice package. Also, their comfortable fabric waistband won't dig into your skin while it delivers your package. Well, their already super-fit male model doesn't seem like the type that needs a lift. I want to see a before and after of someone a little more shapely, now that's a true test.
