I have been wearing pantyhose since around 15yrs old so, forgotten the actual age lar. Actually wearing pantyhose is very comfortable, especially those high quality one. I have been wearing the Leggs pantyhose now. Thew quality is quite good. I got a question to ask, what is the different in between pantyhose and tight? I have googling around and found that in US ppl call pantyhose, but in Europe, ppl call it tight.

I bought the Leggs pantyhose on the internet. I have found that only the pantyhose with sizes will fit comfortably, those selling in Malaysia all is free size and it won't fit comfortably, if it is not too big, than it is too small/short. Actually I started wearing pantyhose in the early age because it was introduced by my friends, some of them are ballet dancer, they said tight/pantyhose is very comfortable to wear, first I also not really believe it because I always think that bare leg it better, but after trying a pair of ballet tight of my friend, it is amazing, so until now I still wearing it pantyhose/tight. One thing I found on the internet, right now got "tight trend for men" just take a look at one of these websites "http://www.comfilon.com", I was wondering if I buy one pair for my hubby, will he wear it?

Hi, ah hong, are you wearig pantyhose regularly? I think most guy who wear pantyhose is purely for comfortable,relieve foot pain due to long time standing or long tie sitting, won't simply wear panthose with short lar, maybe this kind of trend will only be happened in future kua. Regarding to your view "nowadays really hard to see girls wearing pantyhose/tights/stockings accept for OL lo... its not a trend in malaysia", I kinda have opposite view . catherinessc, ballet tight actually isn't hot to wear, but quite comfortable, just like a pair of good quality tight, just the different is it is more durable, more stretchy. For the Wolford tight, I also wish to have a pair to try, but when see the price, it is just too expensive to buy.

But must remember that boots are more suitable to ladies with longer legs, if you don't have long legs and you wear boots, it will make your legs look even shorter, just like me, I won't wear boots because I feel my legs aren't long enough.

After wearing pantyhose for so many years, if you ask me not to wear pantyhose right now, I'll feel uncomfortable especially wearing skirt. Even go to shopping in shopping mall, I'll also wear pantyhose, but sometimes will not wear lar, but mostly will wear lar. If walking around Petaling Street, will only wear sock with sports shoe. Choose only good quality pantyhose, then you will feel very comfortable and will not feel hot at all.

In Malaysia, the girls and ladies more prefer to wear opaque type pantyhose eapecially younger generation rather than sheer type. This is due to maybe opaque is more comfortable to wear, durable, compare to the sheer type one.

Does anyone feel actually wearing pantyhose/tight (opaque or sheer) with skirt is more comfortable than wearing long jeans or pants? I don't like to wear jeans or pants because very hot and bulky, but pantyhose and skirt is much comfortable to wear. I don't know why some ladies said pantyhose is very hot, don't they think Jeans or pants are thicker and bulkier plus a lot warmer.

Hot weather wearing long jeans or pants is no no for me, I won't wear it when the weather is over 30'C. Sometimes I was wondering how those men can stand such hot weather wearing jeans and pants.

I guess men don't have much choice, but just to accept their long jeans or pants and shirt or t-shirt, that's all. I guess if they have other choices, I think they sure won't choose jeans or pants especially in Malaysia because of hot weather.

Been wearing thigh-high stocking before, one word to describe it, uncomfortable, keep sliping down, use garter belt also too troublesome. Actually wearing tigh-high stocking or pantyhose also the same when go to toilet, no different.

I think you are not lady, so maybe you won't understand. When go to toilet, the extra thin layer from pantyhose won't make any inconvenience to you at all.

Thanks for the links. But these kinds of pantyhose/tights are too expensive too buy. But still found a few is quite affordable also, anywhere thanks.

I'll wear pantyhose sleeping if the weather is cool. If you just wear the normal type of pantyhose without high compression support, I think it won't have any effect on the blood circulation. Isn't it wearing pantyhose can help our legs blood circulation?

Right amount of compression is really will help blood circulation, but excessive compression will prevent blood circulation flow smoothly. This is why choosing the right size of pantyhose is very important, and a lot of people didn't choose the right size and end up saying pantyhose not comfortable to wear. But mostly Malaysia selling pantyhoses are free size, so you won't be surprised hearing people in Malaysia said pantyhose is very uncomfortable to wear, because they have no choice, but forced to buy the free size pantyhose to wear.

Wah, why suddenly so many guys interested in pantyhose discussion?

If you guys like pantyhose and want to try it, better go to buy those male pantyhose, you can simply buy it on the internet since internet got a lot of brands.

Why this topic suddenly become so boring? what is your view regarding to pantyhose market in Malaysia or Asia? And how is the future for the pantyhose and tights, for example next 5 years what will happen, will it still popular, or more people wearing it, even guys also wear it because I see a lot of foreign pantyhose manufacturer starting to make pantyhose for man.

For me, pantyhose should be for unisex, especially those opaque type. Pantyhose is only like a pair of normal socks, but it is full lenght, from toe to waist only. I did order a pair of Activskin male opaque pantyhose for my husband, and he told me it is quite comfortable to wear. For example, Bras, is specially made for lady because ladies have breast that bigger than guys, thus need better protection and support, so ladies need to wear bras, but if guy wear bras, then I would call it weird because guys don't need any protection at the breast, so guy shouldn't wear bras. Pantyhose at the other hand, can relieve leg pain, give warm to legs, can ease cellulite appear on our legs, people use to stand for long hours will find pantyhose is very good, so why guys can't wear it? Me as a lady, would recommend guys to wear pantyhose for all the benefits that can give us.

I myself felt that sheer pantyhose not that suitable for men to wear, especially those ultra sheer one. For me, I would prefer men to wear opaque type pantyhose. If really want to wear sheer type, then would prefer those 20D and above, those 15D is just too sheer and not too suitable for men. This is my own opinion only.

Hi, I just came back from China, Suzhou. I found out one thing that you won't see such scene in Malaysia. More than 80% of ladies over there will wear pantyhose/thigh high, mostly they won't go out bare-footed. I was wondering why and just curious about it. So I went to asked a local lady about it, and the lady told me that usually they will wear pantyhose all the time, even at home. This is because of the humid weather in Suzhou. She even said that "original Suzhou citizen" will know the humid weather will cause leg pain in future, they called it (Fung Supp), this kind of humid is even serious when raining, all the moisture on the ground will come up invisibility, they call it "humid radiation". She also said that don't think that pantyhose is only a very thin layer and can't give any help or protection, she said because of this thin layer of pantyhose, already protected so many Suzhou citizen from getting (fung supp) and a lot of old people over there still can walk for long hour without any leg pain. She said Malaysia weather is quite same as in Suzhou, maybe even more humid than Suzhou, but Malaysian like to bare-footed and show off their bare leg to people.
