Even More New Doyeah Hose!


I checked the Doyeah site again, and found two more new styles of men's pantyhose: One with a "Long Long Trunk", and one crotchless. Again, I like their styles, but wish they were a little bigger. Kudos to Doyeah for expanding the men's pantyhose market yet again.

More New Doyeah Hose!



"Full Sheer Long Long Trunk Legging" is what they are called. I had originally posted a picture of the trunk portion, but decided to post the picture of the package (no pun intended) instead. I like the sheer legging, and I like the trunk, but I think I'd prefer a regular front or one with a fly instead of the "third leg". If you wish to see more Doyeah pictures, click the Doyeah link to the right. it will take you to their site, which is in Chinese. Doyeah also had another sheer legging that was crotchless.

I like Doyeah's product ideas, but being one size fits all, they tend to run a little small on me. Their "Cool Trunk Tights" are "cool" for "fun" but probably not for every day wear.

Hot Sox

I found these today at a local discount store, Ocean State Job Lot, for $1.50 each! Now, I'm an advocate of mens hosiery, but at a buck and a half, how can you go wrong!

I have'nt heard from anyone on the Belly Star men's pantyhose that I bought on ebay. They are too small for me. Does anyone want them for a trade?

Belly Star Pantyhose too Big, Want to Trade?

It has been a while since I posted last. Thanksgiving is such a busy time of the year for me. Now that it is over, I finally have some time to breathe...

After what it seems like weeks, I got my ebay purchase of Belly Star Men's Pantyhose in today. They are a size large, but fit more like a medium. For the record, I'm 5'11", about 175 pounds. These hose were a little tight, and a little short. They would probably be fine for someone a little thinner and shorter. That being said, before I try to sell them on ebay to recoup what I spent on them, I'd like to offer up a swap with one of our readers. I'd be interested in any hosiery as a trade. Is anyone interested? If so, email me at phbalancedblog@gmail.com

New Old Hosiery on ebay


One of my great sources for men's pantyhose trends is ebay. I look a few times a week to see what is selling under the search title of "men's pantyhose" or "tights for men". I found these last week. I have a pair of Belly Star tights, but they are much more opaque than these. they also have a fly. After emailing the seller and finding out hat these have a fly, I knew I had to buy them. I was the only bidder, and waited until after I won the auction to post a picture so you all wouldn't get into a bidding war with me! I will post my review as soon as I get them.

Thank you readers for the over 22k views of this blog. As we approach the third year of its existence, I believe the name will be changing to international Men in Tights Day on 1/1/11. I'm going to try promoting the idea of the men in tights day for the next year, and see where it brings me, so stay tuned.

International Men in Tights Day on LAUF

I started a post on Legwear as Unisex Fashion about my idea for iMiTD 2011. So far the posts have been positive. follow the discussion here: http://forums.delphiforums.com/LegwearUF/messages/?msg=8854.1

In following the theme as of late, I wanted to post a picture of the hosiery I'm wearing today:
This is how a pair of Comfilon A549's look under similar lighting as the previous pictures. In keeping in theme, I shot below the crotch. at a similar angle. These are much lighter than the Gerbe Satin 20's I posted the other day. they are also lighter than the Doyeah 80's.

I have to keep closer watch on the hit counter on the side of this blog. It is almost up to 22,000!

Doyeah 80 Denier Footless Opaque Men's Tights



Today I tried on my new Doyeah footless Tights for men. They are one size fits all, and at 5'11", 175 pounds, The fit just fine. I posted two pictures of them to show how they appear to be semi-opaque. When I am standing straight without my legs bent as in the first picture, they appear opaque with a slight sheen. In the next picture with my knee bent, they appear slightly sheer. The fly in these appears to be similar, but a little different than their footed version. On me, the fly works better with these than the footed ones. A little more material in the fly region of the footless tights keeps me in. the footed variety has a little less material which can lead to pieces starting to fall out, if you catch my drift.

I have found the footless tights like these and the Comfilon A876 to be a great option for times when I may want to wear a different sock.

Is anyone interested in joining me for iMiTD (international Men in Tights Day) on 11/1/11? If so, let me know. If I don't hear from the original author of iMiTD, by the end of the year, I may start my own site separate from this one to promote a day for men to wear hosiery.

A Selection of Mens Hosiery Packaging


Over the years, I have saved the packaging from the several different types of male specific hosiery that I have tried. I thought it may make a neat collage to show the different brands over the years. In this picture you can see Doyeah, Ela, Belly Star (no longer in production), Lida, Gerbe, A real old Mr. Influential, the original Man-T-Hose, and a couple of different variations of Comfilon. I believe these have been all of the male specific brands I have tried. I know there are some I haven't tried, do you know what I've missed?

Still stomping for next year's iMiTD (international Men in Tights Day) a celebration of men wearing hosiery, come on let's get something going for next year on 11/1/11!

Gerbe Satin 20

As I was saying in an earlier post, I received a shipment from Luxelegwear on Monday. I washed both pairs, & today I'm wearing Gerbe.

My first impressions of the Gerbe was that they appeared to be durable. They have a wide waistband. I was excited to try them on, and I took a shot of my legs in the hosiery. As you can see, the black Gerbe 20's almost appear opaque. This may just be the poor lighting where I took the picture, because they are sheer, just not too sheer. After wearing them for a few hours, I will say that I am satisfied. The real test will be how durable they are.

I have not yet heard from the original founder of iMiTD. I was thinking earlier today as I went running while wearing Doyeah tights under my running shorts that maybe the whole month of November should be a celebration of men wearing hosiery, and not just the first day!

It Must Be a Sign

Well, yesterday after two weeks of waiting, I finally received my order from Luxelegwear. I took it as a sign that I should continue my quest to promote international Men in Tights Day (iMiTD). I have emailed the original founder to see if he wanted to collaborate to make 11/1/11 the next official iMiTD!

The hosiery I received from Luxe was washed, and I will be wearing them an reviewing in the coming days, so stay tuned!

International Men in Tights Day

A few years ago, someone tried to start an internet movement by pronouncing November 1st as International Men in Tights Day, a day to promote hosiery wearing by men. Being the first of November, I looked up the website, and found no activity since 2007. This makes me think that maybe this should be my new calling. Maybe since this blog has morphed into my ramblings & reviews, I should try to promote men wearing hosiery by giving them a day as coined by the previous promoter. I am doing my part right now by wearing some Comfilon 849 tights (under my pants). I will continue to celebrate iMiTD by wearing some footless Comfilon support tights thisafternoon to run

Ordered from Luxelegwear

I placed an order from Luxelegwear.com, for a pair of Gerbe Satin 20's, and a pair of Doyeah Footless tights. I already have the footed version of the Doyea's, and they have held up well. There are certain times, when wearing different socks may be advantageous, so I thought these may be worth a try.

Thinking of Trying Some Gerbe


While looking at websites that sell mens hosiery, I noticed that Luxelegwear.com has the Gerbe Mens Satin 20 Tights for $36.95 USD. This is cheaper than most online retailers who seem to be around $44. Since I recently got a birthday gift of $42, seems like the right thing to purchase. If anyone else is interested, Luxelegwear seems to have a clearance on the Gerbe. They offer a three pack for $86, or just under $29 each! Has anyone tried Gerbe? I'm interested in their fit and durability.

Accessory for Men Who Wear Hosiery

A great idea for men who may not be fully confident to wear hosiery in public is convertable pants. These are pants with a zipper around the leg mid thigh, so that one can zip them on and off as needed. These are great to have so that if your confidence is up, you can zip them off, and if you don't want to showcase your hosiery, you can zip the legs back on. This time of year, they are on clearance (at least here in the northern hemisphere). I found several varieties yesterday at Dick's Sporting Goods, a great accessory for the pantyhose wearing man.

New hose with a Fly from Comfilon


Comfilon introduced a new style of mens pantyhose with a fly, A660, sheer to waist support pantyhose with a fly. Steve Katz, owner, said recently on the LAUF board, that there was going to be some new stlyes with a fly coming out to replace their flagship style A549, which is being discontinued.
Here is a description from the Comfilon website: "The Microfabric™ material is between opaque tights and sheer pantyhose in opacity, perfect for in-between weather and able to accommodate a wide temperature range for wearing under trousers or with shorts. The fabric is smooth and glides well under trousers, massaging your legs all day. The comfortable all-sheer brief minimizes moisture build-up and features a crotch gusset for added strength and durability, yet is inexpensive because it has no male-comfort front panel and no fly opening. The toe is not reinforced because with the heavier fabric, it doesn't need to be; it already has good durability. Compression AND coolness? Yeah, we can do that."
I always like seeing new styles come out with a fly. To me, we as men need a fly, it just makes things easier. I probably won't be placing an order right away, but when I do I will be sure to post a review of them here.

Manly_-Legs



Another interesting ebay find. I'm going to keep a watchful eye on this one. I like collecting old versions of mens tights/pantyhose. I just wonder if these Manly-legs have a fly?

Comfort4Men On Sale Soon at Shapings


Shapings now has the Comfort4Men hosiery listed, but not for sale yet, as they have not come in. The hose are listed at $49.95 in US dollars, yikes! I would love to try them out, but $50 is a lot for one pair of hose. I understand that they are compression grade, (and they have a fly, which is almost a MUST for me), but they would have to last a long time for me to spend that much on them. Heck, I could get three pairs of the Comfilon 549's for the same price!

This Summer Has Not Been the Summer for Legwear


Sorry to my readers, I have not posted a lot this summer. As they say, "It's been wicked hot!" Thankfully I've been wearing Comfilon knee high stockings this summer, so at least I have the feel of legwear on my feet.




I've been watching this manufacturer, Confort4men over the summer. Apparently in September (which by my calculations is tomorrow) Shapings will start carrying them. I'm interested in seeing what the price will be. They look as if they will be a little pricey, but they do have a fly, which I almost require in my legwear.

Don't fret, fall will be here soon, and maybe with wearing more, I'll have more to write about. It's not that I haven't wanted to write, I just haven't had anything to write about. Is no news good news?

Is Robin Wearing Pantyhose?


While looking at pictures on line, I thought I saw Robin from the Adam West TV show of the 60's wearing pantyhose. Kinda looks like it to me, what do you think?

New Body Stocking from Comfilon


Wow, I logged onto the LAUF forum, and found that Comfilon has finally finished and is now selling their body stocking for men! http://www.comfilon.com/catalogbodystockings.asp?SID=3D551652-CE4A-4498-8EE9-D42911242FB0 It is only available in the color shown for now, and offers their fly opening (a requirement on my hosiery). not sure If I'll be getting one of these, but I like the concept!

Newly Inspired

I was newly inspired to write more, after seeing this blog posted on eMANcipate.net, but then ran out of time and steam. I like to write, and include pictures, because I feel that Internet readers like pictures, and I also think that it adds to the story. Well, I have no pictures today. I've been scouring my sources for stories and pictures, but alas I have none.

When this blog started, it was supposed to be a collaboration between Mrs. PH (my wife ) and I. She didn't really get involved, and the blog kind of morphed into my reviews and ramblings. I wish she would get involved, but I know that she does not share my affinity of tights and pantyhose. She is OK with me wearing for practical reasons (ie in the cooler months for warmth under pants). She would not be OK, (I'm sure) with wearing under shorts for fashion, or for the other "f" word "Fetish"

I wear tights/pantyhose because I like to. I, probably like many others, tried on pantyhose at a young age, and was turned on by it. Do I wear for practical purposes, now yes. But, do I still get a thrill from wearing them? Absolutely.

This Blog is mentioned on e-Mancipate.net!

Wow, I was farting around today, looking at men's pantyhose sites for anything new, when I decided to look at e-Mancipate.net. There in the links section, I found a link to our blog! http://www.e-mancipate.net/our-links-at-e-mancipatenet/58-mantyhose-related-blogs Does that mean that I am a true voice for men who wear pantyhose? I like the e-mancipate description of this blog: "Good and entertaining blog about the mantyhose with lots of product reviews" I guess I need to keep up the good work, and keep writing!

Sadly, there has been no input from Mrs. PH Balanced. I wish that would change, but I don't think she even reads the blog any more.

Also more disappointing news. I was contacted by someone who bought the Setal pantyhose off of ebay. They said that the "third leg" was way too small. Looks like the Doyeah Cool Trunk have been the only "Mantyhose" that are like the original, that are worth buying!

Collant Setal 20 Setificato

This Blog is not Dead Yet!



There just has not been a lot of men's pantyhose news or personal pantyhose happenings for me. Apparently there is an Italian brand of "Mantyhose": http://cgi.ebay.com/SHINY-PANTYHOSE-MEN-Tights-w-3rd-leg-Sheath-Tan-/140403741975?cmd=ViewItem&pt=US_CSA_MC_Underwear&hash=item20b0b71517 I spoke of them a few posts ago, and thought that they were a match for my disappointing Chinese ebay purchase of last year.

Here's the ebay graphic view of them:

If anyone decides to purchase the last one, let me know what you think of them!

Death of a flagship style of mens pantyhose

I was shocked shortly after making my last post to get an email from Comfilon stating that they will be discontinuing their 549 mens pantyhose and 849 mens tights both with a fly. I have to place an order and stock up before they are all gone. As I have said before, I'm a sucker for hosiery with a fly, and those styles are my favorites, the fly just completes the package for me. I've tried other styles, but none come close. Maybe I should look for a replacement style / brand instead:(

Another New Doyeah Product





I know it's been over a month since I last posted, but there really has not been any new hosiery news. Today, after checking the Doyeah site, I found they have a new product out, mens capri's.

Doyeah also helped out by showing how they can be worn, bravo Doyeah!

Another new "Mantyhose"

I found two ebay auctions for "Mantyhose" mens pantyhose with a third leg. It says the brand is Itallia, "Cipry Setal 20" A Google search revealed nothing. Oh, here's the links:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=140389316504&Category=11525

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=140389525293&Category=11525

After viewing the links again, they look an awful lot like this disappointing ebay purchase:

http://phbalancedblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/disapointing-ebay-purchase.html

14,991. That is what the counter reads. I wanted to put that number in this post for a reference. I know I haven't been posting a lot, but if no one is reading, I may as well quit posting. Is anyone still out there?

Mani-Hose


Another great ebay find! Looks like these may be from the early 70's, too bad they didn't catch on then. I was originally going to wait until the auction ended to post this, so that I could bid on them, but when Comfilon announced a sale on the style A876, I decided to spend my money on the modern version, instead of an antique pair, that I probably wouldn't wear. Good luck to the bidders!

Collanto Tights

Free yourself from ancient opinions !

Be man enough and explore new worlds
to get the feeling of wearing real men’s pantyhose and tights !

That piece of clothing is no longer for women only.

We have got the tights for real men !

Taken right from the Collanto site at http://collanto.de/English/english.html
I looked their site up after finding a new type of men's tights at Luxe Legwear http://www.luxelegwear.com/index.php
What I like best about these, is the fly! I like my hosiery with a fly, it just makes things better....

Are you getting hosiery for Valentines Day?


Or maybe giving hosiery? I know better than to do that, Mrs. PH would not be impressed. I, on the other hand wouldn't mind getting some!

Lately, I've been getting into footless hosiery. I've been wearing the Doyeah footless sheers, and Comfilon footless 876's, which are great. I want to try the Doyeah footless opaques, and found these on ebay:
They appear to be the same as the Doyeah style 03442's:
I like the option of wearing different socks or none at all. I also find that especially in sheer hosiery the toes/feet are always the first to go.

I have not forgotten about this blog, I just wrote so much last year, that I don't have as much to write about. Keep checking back, and replying to posts!

Pantyhose for men! Don't laugh, they're selling!

The title of this post is the title to an article I found from 1970, from the New York Times posted in the Ocala-Star Banner in December of 1970, http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=s5EUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=PwUEAAAAIBAJ&dq=mens%20pantyhose&pg=7053%2C6516629 Several other news articles can be found by searching under "Mens Pantyhose" and "News" section on Google. I chose an early date on a whim, and came up with several, Happy Hunting.

Happy New Year!


Well this blog has been active for almost a year. It started as a collaboration between Mrs. PH and I, and has kinda morphed into just me. I wish Mrs. PH would be more involved.
In the mean time, in an effort to keep the Blog rolling, I search the internets (yes, I purposely spelled it "internets". It was a joke on a TV show, can't remember which one) for new material. Today, I searched for Lida men's tights, and found that they Cary a footless version, but I can't seem to find anyone besides Lida who Cary them. Lida apparently only sells in bulk, and I' not ready to get into the hosiery business, at least not yet...
Happy New Year to our readers, I hope to keep you interested, and your input always helps!

Are These Comfilon hose/tights?



I found these a while ago, and forgot about them, and thought I'd see if anyone thinks the same as me. These are for sale at Body Aware.com, an online men's underwear store, that has some risque and quite possibly fetishistic underwear. (http://www.bodyaware.com/MI-DG?promod=default&cid=9CE9.0JC2&dtind=40169.6536828009)

I asked SteveKatz a while ago on LAUF if the hose were his brand, but he wouldn't say. One of these days I'm going to order some and see for myself. What do you think?

Here at PH Balanced, we want to wish our readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, thanks for reading this year, who knows what next year will bring!

Retro Men's Legwear


I posted about these a long while ago, and they are antique, so I don't wear them. The other night, I decided to try them out for an extended period of time. They don't fit as well as some other more modern brands, say like the Comfilon's, but for antiques, they did alright!

The end of the year is approaching, and with the holidays, I'm not sure how much I'll be posting, heck it's been almost a month since the last post. I would like to thank all the readers, and encourage feedback, because feedback can lead to more posts

Ela Patrik Tights Review


Well, I received a pair of Ela Patrik tights from Euro Tights to preview. A pair of womens tights was sent for Mrs. PH, however she was not interested in them at all.

When I first took the Patrik tights out of the package, I noticed that they smelled funny. Not funny bad, or funny ha ha, just that they smelled kinda like a cleaner or disinfectant. I washed them, and hung them to dry. Once they were dry, they still had the smell. Was the smell the "antibacterial" treatment? I wore them for a few hours yesterday. They fit well, and appeared to be well made from a fabric that appeared more than sheer hose, but less than tights. They had mild support, not a real tight support. All in all, a nice fitting and well made pair of tights, I only wish that they had a fly. If they did, I would probably buy them, and wear them more often. I just really like having the convenience of a fly in my hosiery.

Comfilon Footless Tights

Comfilon has over the years had a few different manufactures of their footless tights. Although i usually like the footed variety, there are times when in the course of athletic endeavors that I prefer to wear a different sock. Now I tried the old version, the A879. Both times I tried them, they were from a different manufacturer, and both times slightly different. What was similar, was that both versions of the A879, had a brief portion that was made of a different, and weaker material. Both times the brief ran after only a few wearings. I liked the support legs on both old versions, and noticed that wearing them during or after a very long run would help my legs feel better. When Comfilon came out with the new A876 as pictured above, I wanted to try them, but I was concerned about the brief. The Comfilon website touted the new manufacturer, and the tights sturdy stretch fabric. I decided to give the new footless tights, with a fly a chance.

I got my order in last week, and haven't had a chance to try them out until today. I did notice at first glance, that the brief and leg portion were made of the same material. This, I'm sure will correct the "wimpy brief problem" that I had with older versions. Yesterday I went on a really long run. I tried them this morning. My legs felt great. I was doing some cleaning around the house, and the support definitely helped my sore legs. I took them off to do some wok that may have been "hosiery dangerous" and then left them off. My legs started to get a little sore, so I donned them again. Problem solved.

The Comfilon 876's are just what I wanted. They are the same fabric all around, so you could wear them over say bicycle shorts, and they would not look funny as older versions have.

I also noticed that my other favorite athletic wear company Under Armour has come out with a compression tight aimed at recovering athletes. Called Under Armour Recharge, their recovery tights run $89 a pair. With the Comfilon A876's being $20, I know what I'll be wearing to recharge!

New Mens Pantyhose Retailer


There is a new kid on the block, carrying a new line of men's tights/sheer hose, I give to you Euro Tights. http://eurotights.eu/

Euro Tights is out of Latvia, and they carry a new line of Czech tights called Ela

The Ela tights come in three varieties, Sheer 20 Denier "David", a support tight, 40 Denier "Patrik" and a heavier tight for cooler weather, 64 Denier "Adam"

I have been in contact with the owner, as he did what I was thinking of doing earlier this year, selling the Doyeah tights on ebay. I got to admit, the owner of Euro Tights did much more than I would have with his website. I wish him the best of luck, and encourage our readers to pay his site a visit.

I really like this time of year

It is a great time of the year for wearing sheers under my pants, not too warm, and not too cool. There is a very short window for it for me, in the early fall, and late spring. I have come to the conclusion that the Comfilon 549's are my favorite sheer hosiery. Not much more to say tonight.

More New Doyeah


It appears that Doyeah has some more new tights, this time it appears as if they have a footless version of their opaque tights with a fly. Bravo Doyeah for expanding the men's hosiery line!

A Longtime Reader Published

I know that it has been a long time since I've written, but I kinda had writers block. The weather has been cooler, so I've been wearing tights or pantyhose under my regular male clothing for warmth. I've been experimenting with the different kinds of men's hosiery I have, and have come to the conclusion that my favorites are the Comfilon 849's for tights, and the 549's for sheer hose.

The reason I was inspired to write today, is that I was contacted by a long time reader to let me know that he has published stories of his adventures wearing hosiery. They can be found here:

I also wanted to congratulate the readers for making our blog hit over 10,000 readers. As is always keep reading, and more importantly, keep leaving comments!

Tights on the local weather



I was surprised today to be watching the local news, and to see a picture of a man in tights! The weather guy posted a picture of he and his son hiking a mountain, and showed that it snowed. His son appears to be wearing athletic tights (though I may be wrong) under his shorts. I love the look, and hope that it catches on. I was going to post it at LAUF, but wanted you our readers to see it here first. Enjoy!

More New Doyeah Products



A new product is available at doyeah.com, this one is translated as "Fine-structure Mesh Trousers" Although they have a sheer appearance, they appear fitted, rather than the tight feeling of tights or hose. I haven't been able to find anything similar on ebay, to see if it has a fly or not.

I haven't had a chance to wear the opaque Doyeah tights again, but the last time I did, I noticed that they fly was rather wide, and fell right on my "junk", so it felt as if I was falling out . I think I may have remedied this by putting in a couple of stitches to make the fly narrower. I used the Comfilon tights as a guide, the Doyeah Opaques were an inch and a half wider! This is kinda funny, because the Doyeah sheers have a much narrower fly. I tried them on and it seems like it may work. Only time will tell.

Doyeah Sheer Tights Test


Well it is a little cool tonight, so for the first time this fall, I decided to wear the sheer Doyeah tights to work. I will say that they glide very well under pants. The fly opening is a bit small, but it works. The fit is tight. At 5'11", and give or take a pound or two I'm running about 175, these tights don't leave too much room for wiggle. It is supposed to be cool again tomorrow. I will either wear a pair of Comfilon 549's to compare, or if it's cool enough, maybe the Doyeah opaque tights. Stay tuned.

An Example of Wearing Hosiery in Public


A reader suggested that a post be written about this example of a man wearing hosiery with a business suit. Do you think this look will ever catch on? More photos in this set by the "Hosiery Advocate" may be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/23958111@N00/sets/72157622262659084/ I think it is a smart tasteful look!

Another Quick Doyeah update

These tights are amazingly comfortable! I got the black ones. They appear to have a high spandex content. I tried them on again today, and I was blown away. Kudos to Doyeah! I also tried on the sheers and the crotchless. Apparently the crotchless is higher on one side, and lower on the other. Not sure what is supposed to be the back or front! I guess it depends on your preference. I look forward to trying all out in a full day's wearing, but that will have to wait until the weather gets cooler.

Doyeah Tights Arrive


I bit the bullet, and ordered a pair of each style of the Doyeah line from Luxelegwear. Here's my impressions.

Doyeah 10 denier sheer to waist: I took them out of the package, and held them up to my legs. they appeared to be long enough. I washed all of them, and when they dried, I tried them on. If I was any taller,(5'11") these would not be long enough. The fly is very narrow, but will probably do the job. A longer wear will give a better impression.

Doyeah 80 denier opaques: I took them out of the package, and held them up. Boy, they better stretch. After washing and drying, I tried them on. Wow, these fit great, and feel great. They remind me of the Comfilon 849's. sorry Steve, I think I may buy more of these when the 849's I have start to wear out. A longer wear will tell more.

Doyeah footless/crotchless: They looked small out of the package. After washing and drying, I tried them on. The fit OK, and the "crotchless" portion lines up with, well what you'd want it to. the verdict is still out on these too. With all, a longer wear time will tell more.

New Open Crotch Doyeah Hose Available at Luxelegwear.com

You may recall a few posts ago that after finding Doyeah's new crotchless hose on ebay, I emailed Deb at Luxelegwear to see if she would be carrying it. I am happy to announce that she now has them up on the website:
The quote on the footless hose is as follows, "By popular demand, Luxelegwear.com is excited to finally have available Doyeah's Open Crotch Ankle Tights. It combines the cool trend of footless legwear with the sex appeal of an open crotch.

Everyone loves the sheer to waist design allowing you to wear this with anything. " Am I popular demand?

The quote on the footless variety states, "The NEW open crotch pantyhose from Doyeah is just amazing. Its' open crotch feature allows skin area to breathe and offers anti-bacterial protection.

It is sheer through body and has a sandal toe. " Anti-bacterial, OK I buy it!

I find it interesting that the footless version is $12.99, and the footed one is $11.99. What is even more interesting is the regular Doyeah men's hose with a fly is $10.49. I guess in the world of oriental pantyhose, more hose is less money!

Just a quick image


Just a quick post, an image I found while looking for new material for the blog, looks similar to the Man-T-Hose, an adult novelty that has been recreated by the Chinese in the Doyeah "Cool Trunk Tights"

Still waiting for Luxelegwear

I'm still eagerly awaiting Luxelegwear.com to start carrying the new Doyeah footless sheer tights.

I just wish they were not crotchless! I want to see them on the site, because, first, I want to order some, and second, Debbie, the owner, was informed by me of these tights.

I am pleased so far with my purchase several months ago of the Doyeah Cool Trunk Tights. They have held up so well, that I'd like to try out their other products as well, especially those with a fly. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'm a sucker for hose with a fly!
