At first sight the specification "women's pantyhose" appears to some as doubly described, where fine tights are automatically associated with ladies legs. But this is neither historical correct nor currently. Besides stockings children tights are well-known too. Only a few male children get over the time in children tights without prejudice, and from then on preserve a reservation against tights for all times.

It is doubtless that some men consciously fall back later and wear tights again. The motives to wear tights are relatively un-known and widely spread. There are nylon fetishists, but a great amount of wearers simply like the comfortable feeling. Besides stockings for women also men tights are offered since a few years. This new experience for men legs is tested ever more frequently.

In contrast to women's stockings, men tights are usually knitted differently and consider the anatomical gender differences. Because the female pelvis is different from the male pelvis and the proportions shift different over the size the tights are obviously gender specific designed. It is recommended for each man who likes stockings to try on men tights.
