Welcome to Geraden's Blog.
Men,
as well as women,
wear nylon legwear (tights and pantyhose)
for a number of reasons.
Fashion, warmth, comfort, athletic performance, healthy legs
or just because they feel good to wear.
This is not a fetish site. There are plenty of those around and you will find them easily enough without my help. There are not all that many 'clean' tights/pantyhose sites, and most of them have links from this site. I have been told - and who am I to disagree? - that this site is a resource which many have found useful.
This site is for the men who wear (or who would like to), and for the womenfolk who refuse to be swayed by myths and prejudices and therefore support, accept and understand their men's clothing choice. It is also for the womenfolk who do none of those things, in the hope that they may come to understand, accept and support.

Corey's story
by Corey
Corey, a member of LAUF, tells how he wears legwear to alleviate leg pains. Thank you for this contribution, Corey!
My interest in wearing legwear publicly started with my wearing tights and pantyhose around my home as something that my legs simply felt comfortable in.
However it wasn’t until many years later when I started having leg pains while standing in one spot that I started doing research into what might be causing them. I would only have to be standing less than about ten minutes before I started noticing aching in the back of my leg behind my knee. I remembered hearing about women (and men) who had to wear support hose for health reasons, but didn’t know much more than that.
So I thought I would start my research in the support hose area first. Upon researching many sites, I began to understand that graduated support legwear might be beneficial for alleviating my aching. I bought a pair and started wearing them under my pants when I went out of the house. To my delight, the hose reduced my leg aches by about 80%.
I went to the doctor and told him of my findings and asked if a heavier medical grade compression would help eliminate the other 20%? He said it probably would, and proceeded to write me a prescription for medical hose. When the order arrived at the pharmacy, a very kind lady showed me the correct way to put them on. They did feel tight but, surprisingly not uncomfortably so. Well, I have to say that these hose almost completely did the trick!
Upon doing some additional research, I stumbled onto a forum called Legwear As Unisex Fashion. I noticed that the forum's main purpose was to help promote the normalization of men wearing tights and pantyhose in society. This was very interesting to me since I had never understood why men in legwear had such a stigma attached to it anyway. I saw that many of the men on the forum reported that they received no reaction from anyone most on the time when they ventured out in hose wearing summer shorts. I decided to start wearing my support hose with my shorts out in public also, as many of the days were too hot for pants. I was glad when I found that my experience with the public to be the same as what others on LAUF had.
I now venture out daily sporting my hose whether I have on pants or shorts, but most importantly my legs are pain free!
