Exciting Purchase, Disappointing Purchase

First of all, I was very excited to find these "Three Legged Pantyhose" on eBay.  The instructions in case you can't read say, "The perfect gift for the very special man.  They are oh so nice for skiing, hunting, football, almost anything - even open toed platform shoes.  Three Legged pantyhose are especially designed to conform to the mist distinguishing attributes of the male body."

I was able to "snag" these for $2 + shipping.  I'm sure if I were to try them on they wouldn't have snagged like the pair in the right picture frame.  I bought these Hanes pantyhose with the intention of using them for pictures.  They snagged when I first put them on.  The color isn't the best either, very pale for nude hose.  I won't be buying these again, but I was glad to get the Three Legged Pantyhose, which I believe are essentially the same as the old gag gift, Man-T-Hose.

Gerbe Satin 20

Here's another example of men's pantyhose that went extinct.  The Gerbe line of men's hosiery was active for a few years.  Called luxury pantyhose for men, they were pricey at about $35 a pair.  I stocked up on a few pairs before they discontinued them, and I'm glad they did.  The fit and feel is perfect, and they have my prerequisite fly.  If I ever find these on eBay, you can bet I will try to scoop them up as they were one of the best kinds of men's pantyhose I ever did wear.

 

Cheap 100% Nylon Pantyhose

Sometimes it is nice to wear a cheap pair of department or drug store pantyhose.  The pair on the left are so old that the drug store has been out of business for years.  The ones on the right are sheer to waist No Nonsense.  The good thing about these are that they are inexpensive, but just because they are cheap doesn't mean they aren't durable.  The pair on the left have to be about 10 years old, and are just starting to show wear.  Sometimes male specific is nice, but sometimes hose are hose & cheap ones are fun too.  If you damage them, it is much easier to take than a $15-20 pair of men's pantyhose with a fly

Spandex is Fun to Wear Too

To continue on yesterday's theme of running in fishnets.....

As well as wearing pantyhose and other hosiery, I also love wearing spandex.  Spandex feels very similar to hosiery, and is more socially acceptable to wear, and is almost expected while doing activities such as running and bicycle riding, which I do often.

I started quite a few years ago wearing spandex leggings while running in the cooler months.  I then got the idea to dress as a "superhero" for a few of the bigger races I would sign up for.  Last year, I got one of the Spiderman Under Armour tops as you see in the picture.  In one of the big name races I did last year, I wore the shirt with blue 3/4 length leggings AKA tights and red calf sleeves, so that it looked like a Spiderman outfit.  Let's just say that the crowd at this big race loved the outfit.  I was psyched to find Under Armour just came out with the matching tights this year.  I may not be ready to be that guy wearing fishnets to the local races, but I will be that guy dressed as Spiderman spandex and loving every minute of it.

Pant-He-Hose

In the past I would post interesting eBay finds when it comes to men's hosiery.  Here's one I've been watching.  Pant-He-Hose, from the late 60's early 70's.  another (failed) but great attempt at making hosiery for men that is waist high.  This pair has been posted and reposted a few times.  I would be interested in having these for my collection, but at $35 and $7.50 shipping, they are a little steep in price for me.   If you are interested, however, they are here:

Happy bidding and until next time, stay hosed and stay happy!

Actvskin A630 All Nylon Sheer Men's Pantyhose With Fly

I love men's pantyhose with a fly.  Activskin has several styles with a fly.  This one, their all nylon sheer pantyhose with a fly is very durable.  This particular pair is in it's second winter season of use, and still in great shape after several wear and wash cycles.  The fit is great, and what else can I say about the fly.  Function, function, function.  The fly is good for every day nature calls and or the other calls that nature make for men. (aka sex).  I just love wearing pantyhose when I masturbate.  I can only recall a few times over the last several years when I haven't had some kind of hosiery on when I masturbated.  The fact that these are great for function, fetish and that they are fun to wear and extremely durable makes them a must buy for men's hose.  They are sheer and light weight, so they don't allow for much insulation for the cold months, but they do make a great extra layer when the weather is turning cold or beginning to get warm.  These pantyhose for men are an excellent choice for function, fetish and fun!

Name Change for the Blog

With the renewal of this blog after almost four years, I thought a name change would be in order.  I went back to the original name of the blog, pH  Balanced.  My wife came up with the name - a way of finding the balance of my desire to wear and her understanding of it.  I don't know if she will be contributing, but I wanted to get back to basics.

My vision of the blog will still be finding the balance with my love of hosiery.  Along with hosiery, I will also add the other things I like to wear, which is basically anything tight and stretchy including spandex and those full body spandex suits also known as Zentai.

I would like to post reviews and PG-13 pictures of the hosiery and spandex I have in my collection.

The balance will be the three F's:  Fetish, Function, and Fun.  I suppose I could make it four F's and add fashion, but I'm not much for fashion.

Fun is self explanatory.  Fetish is what drives me sexually to enjoy wearing these items.   Function is an added bonus of wearing something that is both fun and a turn on.

I also encourage feedback.  It would be nice to hear from other guys like me or gals that support or have significant others who like wearing hosiery for  fetish, function and fun.

Doyeah Men's Sheer Pantyhose

To restart this blog, I would like to start with a review of the Doyeah brand men's pantyhose.

This is one of heir first offerings, they have been out for a while now.  The cool opening model number 838 10 denier men's pantyhose with a fly.  They have only one size, fitting guys up to 5'11" and 190 lbs.

I got these through Luxelegwear.com, who currently have a clearance sale going on with their footless versions of the Doyeah brand.

I find the fit alright for a one size fits all.  I am 5'11", and 175 lbs and find them to fit OK.  Any taller or heavier might not make for a good fit.  These are 10 denier, so as you can see they are rather sheer.  As for durability, I have worn them a few times, and they do have a run.  At $12.49, they are reasonable for men's pantyhose, and of course they do have, in my opinion, the most important option in men's pantyhose - a working fly.

Although not my favorite men's pantyhose they do look good and are comfortable.  They aren't super durable, but that happens with the more sheer hose.  I wouldn't rule them out but all in all they aren't my favorite men's pantyhose.

I guess the first question is why pantyhose? I don't know why, but I do know how. When I was about 4-5 years old, I was in the bathroom early one morning, and tried on a pair of my sisters tights. I liked the feel. Then, when I was in 4th grade, I was in a school play, and had to wear black tights. Both times, I remember liking the feel to the tights.

When I entered puberty, for some reason, I tried on my mothers pantyhose that she had discarded. I loved the feeling. One night while wearing them and rubbing myself, I had my first orgasm. I think this was the start of my obsession with pantyhose.
