Why man should wear support tights or compression tights?

When we think about tights we think of a feminine accessory. And to a certain extent that perception is all right. The correct tights or pantyhose or stockings can transform a woman's look from just OK to fantastic, and sexy. Therefore incorporating pantyhose to a man's daily wardrobe is not easy to accept. A man in tights easily provokes ideas of cross-dressing or transvestism. However, an office worker, male or female, is likely to spend hours sitting on a desk or sometimes stand with little movement. This is a recipe for painful legs, feelings of tiredness and uncomfortable legs and an open invitation to varicose veins.

Women can remedy this by wearing support pantyhose, or low support compression tights or compression stockings without either sacrificing their looks or being awkward. However, a man wearing compression tights, or pantyhose with leg support would be (still) an awkward proposition. Of course men can wear their tights underneath their pants and hide their support tights easily but my concerns are more about self-consciousness and feeling awkward rather than looking awkward.

Fortunately, the tights sector is now catering specifically for men as well as for women. It is possible to find support compression tights with low and medium support for men. These tights that are specifically made for men accommodates the male anatomy with a special gusset. This not only makes compression tights more comfortable but also increases the durability of the product (no unnecessary stretching, you see).

In online stores there are many performance enhancing tights for men that can be worn during exercise. Most of these tights are wonderful products but they are not suitable for men who would like to have a comfortable pair of support tights they can wear during a long work day at the office. However a new website I discovered offers a very nice solution. Comfort4 men offers low and medium leg support pantyhose in various colors and styles specifically designed for men. I would definitely advise having a look if you are interesting in relieving leg pain and discomfort related to long hours sitting at a desk or standing still. Obviously if you have a diagnosed vascular problem in your legs you should consider medical compression tights and stockings.
