For guys who wear these things for cirulation I have a suggestion to makers of hosiery period. I have to wear these things like many of the guys above. But I also agree with the women above. There is a gay or crossdressing stigma attached to them. If someone wants to blaze a trail and make mantyhose acceptable more power to them. However, I don't think it will be made acceptable and it doesn't address a problem men like me have. The only medical support hose I've seen that can't be confused with pantyhose (they look like long johns) ,thus, could be acceptable runs at least $30 for a single pair. Why can't someone make a facsimilie of them for the 3 for 12 bucks that I see womens selling for?
