Sheer Tights for Men

Sheer Tights for Men: The Uses

There are quite a few uses for men's sheer tights:

• Fetishwear: If you like tights, wear them! Nothing wrong with that. There are several Web sites that will help you find exactly what you're looking for, making the statement you want, in your dimensions (not a woman's!)
• Blood flow and circulation in the lower half of the body can be improved by wearing tights. Women, the elderly and others with circulation concerns have been doing it for years; why not normal men?
• They can give you a more sculpted appearance under your work pants.
• They can also give a more polished look to legs under shorts.

Hints for Wearing Your Tights Well

Sheer tights for men (if you're wearing them for the way they look) require something not all men normally have: shaved legs. Opaque tights don't necessarily require them; they can cover the bumps and hairs that come with those manly calves and thighs. Sheer tights, though, for best results, will need you to whip out that razor and shaving cream. Otherwise they:

• Won't lie flat and
• You'll have unsightly bumps and hairs making their way up--and sometimes even through--the material.

Another thing you'll want to keep in mind is how to put them on. If you're used to opaque tights, or you've never worn tights, you need to know that sheer ones are more delicate.

• You can't put them on like you're pulling on a pair of blue jeans.
  • Make sure your nails have no rough edges, or invest in a pair of hosiery gloves to wear when you're putting them on.
  • Bunch up the material for one leg, slide your foot in (careful with the toenails, too!), and slowly extend the nylon up along your (freshly shaved and moisturized!) calf.
  • Do the same with the other foot. You should be sitting down so you won't fall.
  • Inch each side slowly up your thighs, one at a time, little by little. It sounds tedious, but if you become a fan of wearing sheer tights, you'll get used to it in no time.
  • Take them off with the same extreme care to avoid rips.

Taking care of your sheer tights may baffle you. You may even be tempted to buy a new pair every wear or two. That's not necessary. You can wash them by hand in cool water and a gentle detergent such as Woolite.

Notice a run? No problem. Clear nail polish will stop a run in its tracks. Just trace it around the edges.

The Rundown

Whether you're wearing sheer tights because you just like to, for body sculpting, performance, or to make your legs look more appealing in shorts, you shouldn't have a hard time finding what you need online. It probably will be easiest to shop online rather than search for boutiques in most areas that offer tights for men.

If you've been wearing tights designed for women, you'll be so much happier when you discover those cut for men's legs!
