Futuro 8-15 Compression Pantyhose Review

                  Futuro 8-15 Compression Pantyhose

                                                               Side Story

The one thing that I have noticed is, I have not done a product review of Futuro 8-15 compression pantyhose. I will start by saying, these are not the first time wearing them. As most of my followers on instagram all ready know. I dont wear them as much as I use too, due to I have to rotate, on what compression levels I need to wear. And I was wearing mostly 20-30 compression mostly stockings. But after my collapse last year. Even if my legs has sorta heeled up since then. My legs would still hurt sometimes trying to wear the 20-30 level. So I had to go back to the drawing board on what support hosiery I needed to wear " for now at least". I first went back to my cheap option, and that was L'eggs Brand pantyhose, "active support or Medium Support" for the light support & compression for my hips & lower back. For at least, while I was out of out work. But strange out of the blue L'eggs hasn't been fitting me. So I did some research and found Futuro Pantyhose again. So I was looking at the size cart & got to wondering. L'eggs Medium Support in there biggest size Q+ , The size was 5 foot to 6 foot 175-240, I am normally weight at around 220 to 225, and now L'eggs couldnt fit me. Made me scared to try Futuro Pantyhose again. Since there biggest size "Plus Size" goes to 5-11 to 205 pounds, 5-8 to 5-9 goes to 220. And 5-2 to 5-7 goes to 235. Made me wonder, if re trying these again would work for me again. I found them for $15 on Amazon, normally they are around $25 . So decided to try them again. With good faith that they would work & fit me again. I remembered that Futuro Pantyhose at least the 8-15 compressions, where bigger then a normal pantyhose. And, I was right. They fit spot on perfect. So heres the review of them

The packaging of them

They come inside a reusable box to use to store them, folded into a baggy . And the back of the box shows information about them along with the size cart.

The Fabric 

85% Nylon 15% Spandex. The look and feel of them are a sheer oquare . The brief is big & wide, with a big cotton crotch. And the brief is nylon & not lace, like the box says. But offers a lace design And offers a reinforced toe. 

They offer them in a nude color & black color

The compresion is good not bad. It for the most part, stays firmly into place. But it does have a slight roll down in the legs, mainly around the knee. 

My final thoughts. And I feel like I have said it all pretty much. There a great option for men, that needs light compression. I do think, at least for the 8-15s that the price point is a little much. I understand that they are medical type hosiery. The durability of them are good, and can get a good number of wears out of them. One pair for me lasted about a year before they needed replaced. Maybe its just me lol. Also I got recommended, by one of my followers to try the 20-30s, Futuro pantyhose. And that will never happen, unless I lose a good bit of weight. There sizing in the 20-30s are surprisingly smaller then the 8-15s. 

But with that I hope that everyone does enjoy my review. And I will give them a 100% recommend to everyone

We Love Colors Tights Review

I know its been a little while, Since I did a hosiery review. Mainly cause of work. But I have a exciting review coming your way.



One of my followers, Reached out to me. And was telling me about.
A company Named "We Love Colors" .


 Its is one of his favorite brands, Recommended me to give them a try. And bring to my blog.



So I was doing my research , As well was talking to the company direct, on social media. And they are a unisex company. That makes tights for everyone. And offer, any color that you can think of. As well offer a tie-dye combo, "splash colors".



After chatting with "We Love Colors", They sent me two pairs to test & bring a review to everyone. And I wanna give a big shout out to "We Love Colors". As well a shout out to one of my followers on Instagram "Gunnartights", for letting me know about the company.

The two pairs I recived. The first Pair Is Mens "Microfiber Nylon/Lycra Tights" in colors Royal Blue. And the 2nd pair is "Mens Nylon Spandex Tights" in color Black.




The first thing, ill say the packaging on both, Comes the same. They both come folded, and tied with a small piece of rope, with a small card attached. With a model number, as well the color of the tights.

They both has no Panel in the crotch. But they can come with a Panel, depending on the size that you order. Microfiber Nylon/Lycra Tights,Has a double back seam, And the Nylon Spandex Tights, has a single seam
There is No reinforced toe

The first impressions on the tights are, the colors are a amazing. And are very comfortable, And very soft to the touch.



The sizes I have are The Microfiber Nylon/Lycra Tights are sized at 1X-4X, And The Nylon Spandex Tights are sized at 3X. For me I am around 6 foot, And currently weigh between 220-230. All I gotta say is. You will not have no trouble getting these to fit. They both are a little big on me. But the fit on both of them is perfect

I havent had really any issues with the tights. The only other things I can say. And its with Spandex Tights. The one thing is, at least to me. They are a little on the saggy side. Nothing bad,But for me I could go down a size. As well, But it might be cause I got the color black, or could be the fabric it self. But it seemed like it can pick up lint & hair really easy.

But overall They are great, I have really nothing bad to say about them. The only thing i can say is, like other tights. I dont believe there run resistant. I havent had any issues. But its always good to note. The only other thing I can say is. They hold up nicely, And you should get a good amount of wears out of them

The pricing on the tights are "Mens Microfiber Nylon/Lycra Tights" Are priced at $14, But if you choice Splash Colors then they are $19.50. And bigger sizes are $2 extra

And the pricing on the "Mens Nylon Spandex Tight" Are $10.50, If you choice Splash Colors, Then they are $15.50. And bigger sizes are $1.50 extra.

　

So that wraps it up. I hope everyone enjoyed my thoughts on "We Love Colors". And I personally recommend everyone to check them out https://www.welovecolors.com/. Like I said they offer tights for everyone. As well they Do offer, Performance Tights & Leggings, for Men & Women. I might try them out in the feature. As well they offer footless tights. As well, they offer Dance wear, for men and women. As well shoe laces, And Gloves & regular socks.
　

Review Absolute Support 20-30 Sheer Medical Compression Stockings

For those who remember , On when I tried the 15-20 Sheer medical compression stockings. It got me thinking about trying a scale up, to the 20-30. Mainly for when going to work.

 I normally wear the Unisex 20-30 Medical compression stockings from Absolute Support. I wear them everyday I worked last year, with little to no issues. And just a quick background on where I work at? I work at Tropicana Field, The home of the Tampa Bay Rays. I do concessions "A Food Runner". And working at a Major League Baseball Stadium. And at least for me anyhow. I need to wear the best medical compression possible. Specially on busy days, when the Red Sox & Yankees come to town. Anyhow, Back to what I was saying. The Unisex 20-30s from Absolute Support, just wasn't enough this season "2019". And was beginning to hurt my legs more. So I had to change up compression. I have worn the 15-20s the sheer ones from Absolute Support a few times. And they did a lot better then the unisex 20-30s from Absolute Support. I didn't have as much pain, if I worn the Unisex 20-30s from Absolute Support. But I got to thinking about, trying out the 20-30s the sheer ones.

 So I went on https://www.discountsurgical.com/ ,And ordered myself a pair. They have them in 3 colors Beige & Nude & Black. I decided to get them in the color Beige.

Not the greatest of pictures, But these are how they came. They came in a baggy with no cardboard

 

They are suppose to be designed for a women. So they do feature a lace top style garter belt. And as normal with compression stockings. They feature a Reinforced Toe & And Reinforced Heel "No Picture"

The first overall look of them on. They look very nice & has a shine to them. The first time putting them on can be a little difficult. But that's normal with most Medical type stockings. They are        80% Nylon, 20% DuPont Lycra Spandex They do have a ultra sheer look & feel to them.

 

 

 

At Least to me, This color reminds me of L'eggs Sheer Energy "Suntan"

 

 

My overall review is. They fit more solid on my legs, then the 15-20 sheer compression. And give my legs very good compression I need, for work & even going out on my bike. After wearing them at work, My legs has been doing a lot better. However I do get some pain still, But not nearly as bad if I was wearing my Unisex 20-30s.

I have since then been wearing these more then the unisex 20-30s, At least while working. I did take baby steps at it. Like one day, Ill wear these & another day ill wear the unisex 20-30s. Because there are a little different between the two. You may ask how? Well the unisex 20-30s, has a little more thickness & tightness to them. And the sheer 20-30s, doesn't have as much bulk to them & not as tight as the unisex 20-30s. The only downside to the Sheer 20-30s, is the foot room in the stockings is a little small. Im a little funny in shoe size. Due to flat feet, I range in between 11 in half to a 12, sometimes a 13 depending on the shoes. But I will say, after a little while wearing them. They have provided a little stretch in them. So now its not quite as bad now. But its good to keep note. For those who have big feet. That is so far the only con I have with the sheer 20-30s. But overall, I have no complaints with them. They are awesome to wear. And have became more of my good to, in hosiery to wear.

 

Also They stay 100% into place, Meaning the stockings doesn't fall down or roll down rather

 

 I do recommend them, as well Unisex 20-30s. They are still really good as well.

Review Absolute Support A102BL4 15-20 Sheer Medical Compression Stockings

Back Around Christmas time. I came around a sale in my email. On Absolute Support products in my email from https://www.discountsurgical.com

Decided to check it out. Cause medical compression hosiery can be very expensive.

Came across these A102BL

With being on Sale, I decided to try them out. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They came inside a plastic bag "No Cardboard". 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First overall look out of the package, of the sheer medical stocking. They have a lace style garter belt. I was a little worried at first. But after wearing them for a little while now. The garter belt, Stays firmly into place. With no slipping

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just Like all the other medical compression hosiery. It features a reinforced toe ,  And a sheer heel

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Overall thoughts on these?  They fit great on my legs. Hold up pretty well into place, very well, with little to no run down. For me they are a little low on the compression side. Cause I try to keep my compression levels at 20-30. But I like to bounce around compression levels. Because after wearing 20-30 compression day after day. It can make my legs hurt, and become uncomfortable. They are great for going on a bike run. And being on the sheer side. Does keep your legs dry. They are Ultra Sheer fabric. So they do have a little shine to them. And the color, is no different then other Jet Black Hosiery. The durability of them? Is about what your going to expect in any pair of sheers. My advice is, to just handle them with care. Easier said then done I know haha. 

My only complaint on these is. I know they put them on all compression hosiery. But I wish, that they wouldn't make a sheer heel. And the reason why is? I have noticed, in the past. The first to blowout is around the sheer heel. And that is very annoying! 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's pretty much all my thoughts on these. If I had to give them a overall rating. I would rate them 8 out 10. There is always a great way of improvement. I do recommend these to anyone men or women. 

Thank you all for checking this out!!! And Rock on!!!

L'eggs Sheer Energy Review Active Support & Medium Support

      I was surprised , To notice. That I never made a full review, about L'eggs Sheer Energy. So what a great time to do so lol

The Reason why, I was surprised. Is its been my go to, type of Hosiery. For my legs. The  reason why, there my go to type of hosiery. Is there cheap. And provide a good medical type of compression, in the legs. The price point, for Active Support & Medium Support. Is on where you choose to buy it at. Places like Walmart, Range at $4.98. Drug Stores like Walgreens & CVS, Can range between $6 to $7. Not sure at the correct price.

Anyhow.

 The first pair of Pantyhose, I have ever worn. Was L'eggs Medium Support. Believe it or not, There is a difference Between L'eggs Medium Support & L'eggs Active Support.

                                                                                 

                            

                                                                                                     

Like I Said before. Active Support & Medium Support, Are about the same. Both Are 30 Denier nylon fabric

Sizes are the same

Height        Weight

Size A    4"10 -5"7       85-150 lbs               

Size B    5"1 - 5"11     105 -165 lbs           

Size Q   4"11 - 6"0      145-200 lbs             

This size is only found in medium Support

 Size  Q+  5"0 - 6"0   175-240 lbs              

It Features both Active Support & Medium Support, A control top, as well Sheer toe or a Reinforced toe

At least for me, at my local stores. Only have Sheer Toe, And not Reinforced Toe. I believe Reinforced Toe products are, Only found at www.onehanesplace.com "Unfortunately"

Also in Medium Support. They do have it in, what is called ' Sheer Panty" Where the brief is

Just all Sheer

They both have a good color selection. Maybe a few more with medium support. At my local stores

For L'eggs Active Support. The only colors are, Either Suntan or Nude color

But if you go to www.onehanesplace.com. They do have more colors. For Sheer Toe, They have colors Coffee & Off Black

And for Reinforced Toe, you can only get on www.onehanesplace.com, Colors they have are While, Suntan, Nude, Navy, Off Black, Taupe . And according to www.onehanesplace.com, Didn't know this until now. But It says the Reinforced Toe Active support are 40 Denier. 

Now for medium Support, The colors are the same Suntan, White, Nude, Navy, Taupe, Off Black. And Last, My favorite color of all Jet Black, 

Now more into the Review

Like I said before. I started out wearing Medium Support. And for a few years. They where my go to. And would wear them, Pretty much every day. How to really describe it. Like it says on www.onehanesplace.com. Its like wearing another layer of skin. With good compression in the legs. How best to describe it, once you get use to it. It feels like wearing nothing at all. The Nylon Fabric, Feels a little rough & a little silky to the touch

In Picture is Active Support "Navy"

After a few years, Went by. For me Medium Support, was starting to seem like it. Wasn't helping me as much, in compression like it use to. So was doing research one night. And learned about Active Support. I have seen about active Support before, at my local store. But for whatever reason, at times. They can be hard to find, And find in my size. When I did find myself a pair. To be honest, They are the same as Medium Support. But there is a difference, Between Active Support & Medium Support. And that's in the legs in Active Support. The Yarns nylon fabric. Are a little tighter, Then Medium support. Try both. And you will see what I mean. And ever since, I been wearing Active Support. 

For me I need all the compression I can get. It all goes by, how my legs are feeling. Somedays. I need good compression. And there is days, I need my good Medical Compression. Now far as wearing them, while on the job, for 6 to 7 hours a day. On a slow day, I can get by wearing them. But on a non slow day. Its just not enough, at least for me. So really don't wear them to work anymore. And just stick to my good medical support brands.

Active Support "Nude"

They are however great. For anything else. They are awesome. Cause im not on my feet as much. And there great for biking as well. Provides great compression in my legs. And living in Florida, where its feeling almost 100 degrees. Is where the sheer fabric comes in handy. And doesn't make your legs to hot or sweaty. Theres more I can say, But ill save that for another post. About biking "Coming Soon"

Now ill talk about, how durability

Now that's on you. On how you put them on. The Fabric being sheer. If not careful, can cause a run or hole. And ill admit, I have done it myself. Its not hard to get a run in them, But its not easy either. If your careful. You should get a good amount of wears out of them. Now also being sheer. And worn & washed so many times. The fabric can thin out over time. You should get a good amount of wears in them. When I was wearing them more often. I could get a month to a few months of use, Out of a pair. But it all depends

In Picture Active Support "Suntan"

Last thoughts pros & cons

The first pro is the cheap price point. The only really few cons I give. Is I wish L'eggs, could work out the sizes. A little better. The fit for me. At times can be sung "a little tight" And I sure L'eggs are aware of men, like myself. Wear the product. I know, there are transgenders & fetish types of people out there. Im nether of them. I wear them for compression. And im not the only man, that does. I have contacted L'eggs. Asking if they where going to, maybe work on a male product. Since sales for men, have gone up. And never got a response from them. I mean come on L'eggs its 2018. Join others, like I See Your Legs, Activskin, Adrian, Emilio cavallini, And bring Genderless Fashion, to your products. You will bring in more sales. Who cares at why, a guy choices to wear a pair of pantyhose. They do however have Q+ in Medium Support. But at least for me anyhow. Its a little big on me. 

The 2nd Con For me is. I wish they would bring "Jet Black" To Active Support. And have it in stores & online

And that's pretty much it. If I was to give it a rating. I would give L'eggs Medium & Active Support a 8 out of 10. They are a really good product. But at the same time, It could be a little better

Either way, I hope everyone enjoyed my review. And stay tune for more posts & reviews. 

IseeYourLegs 70 Denier Tights Review

I have a great blog for everyone. I have came across. A upon coming company, called IseeYourLegs. They are a hosiery company located in Italy. And I have privilege. To test out one of there products. My good friend, and blogger Rob Speedking . Has Already, Tested out, And Reviewed the 20 Denier Classics. His review is at this link http://speedkingrva.blogspot.com/2017/12/hosiery-review-i-see-your-legs.html . So to change it up. I decided to review. The 70 Denier Tights, and picked out the Jet Black Color.


Now most of you know, by now. I wear hosiery for my legs, For a medical condition in my legs. And I know everyone might be saying. Why wear Oquare tights? Well the answer is. Sometimes, I do it for style. Maybe add a little bit of color. And as well, Does add a little more compression in the legs.


But on to the Review
I really do love, IseeYourLegs style. They come packaged in a small "Gold" waterproof sealed bag. To make it more accessible. To be able to carry on the go. And comes nicely wrapped around, A business card type. What is very cool about the "Gold" bag. To keep the hosiery nice. You can re use the bag. By rolling it back up on the card, And putting it back into the "Gold" Bag. The only downside is, You cant re seal it. But its a minor thing. I just thought, for at least for me. It was a cool concept

Now on to the tights it self. The fabric is 88% Poliammide And 12% Elastane. I am 5'11, weighting around in the 220s currently. So choice the size 5 MAXI. And I have to say, it fitted wonderfully . Its not to big or to small. A great style brief, Where I can say. It could be truly unisex. And Ill say this, If any guys tried Activskin tights. They are pretty similar. Look and feel of them, is awesome. With great color, and a little bit of shine to them. With the little time, I been wearing these so far. The fabric seems a durable, and holds up in shape very good. And not as easy to get snagged.

Now on to the medical side. I have worn these alone, without any support sheers, or medical style hosiery. And to be honest. Its not bad, If your just relaxing at home. And don't want to wear, your good supports. As there is a little bit of compression in them. They are a great option, If you want to layer up your hosiery. And add a little more compression to the legs.


And that's about it. All I gotta say is there awesome. And I do recommend to anyone. Compared to other tights, I have tried here in the US. These are my top favorites right now. The price for these are $24 dollars in US Money. And they do offer, Other colors, Red, Pink, Indigo,

If anyone would like to check out IseeYourLegs. You can find them at Http://www.iseeyourlegs.com . And you can also follow them on Instagram @iseeyourlegs_com Twitter @iseeyoulegs_ Facebook @ i see your legs . They are truly awesome, So please check them out! And once again Thank You everyone

Review of Absolute Support Mantyhose for men

Hi everyone. Sorry its been so long since. I made any posts on here. I'm trying very hard to get back on here. And share my thoughts with everyone. And for those who do follow me. I want to take the time. To thank each and everyone of you. You all are awesome. And thank you for reading my posts.

Now on to Todays topic. Back in I believe it was in July. I found these on Amazon. And there called Absolute Support 20-30 level compression. On amazon, They call these Pantyhose. And seriously they are not Pantyhose. In no shape or form. They are a male style. The term everyone likes to call it is Mantyhose. The brief just looks like a normal style brief. With easy access if you have to run to the restroom. Its made as either or. You can where regular underpants briefs or with boxers. But seriously they are made as underpants. So seriously I recommend. Wearing these without. They are thick material. So if you did have a accident. It shouldn't make a mess. I don't know, I don't have that problem thankfull

You might be asking why did I try these. From regular support pantyhose. Well I started my first job. Working for the Tampa Bay Rays concessions "Stand Work" At Tropicana Field. And my regular supports Hanes Alive & L'eggs Active Support just wasn't good enough. The only good support was Futuro compression Pantyhose. It did the job. But told my self. I needed something better. Cause I work 6 to 7 hours pre day. Depending on how fast the game is played. Weekdays was like more just 6 hours. Weekends where 7 hours. Cause gates would open early. And since changing to Absolute Support. I cant even really say the right words. They are amazing. As well I noticed I can move around a little bit better. And my legs don't hurt as bad. At the end of the day. Now strange why to put it. I cant wear these everyday. Every other day. I do have to switch it up. Cause hard compression levels do hurt my legs. And its was the same thing. I took a new job in the Rays off season at Toys R US. And it was pretty busy this holiday season. But I am going back to work for the Rays this year "2018" in concessions" 

Back to my review

The legs on these are just like the brief. Its thick material. You have to have patience. Putting these on. Cause getting it throw your foot can be a challenge, at first. The first couple of times. It took me like 20 mins to just get them on. But once you get it on your foot and ankle. Putting them up the rest of the way. Is a piece of cake. Now a days these are almost my good to hosiery. So I have gotten use to putting them on. What makes it so hard to get on. Its not just being so tight. You have to fight a sheer toe and, I believe its called sheer ankle? Its placed on the bottom of your foot around where your ankle would be. Its sheer, So have to take your time putting them on. See you don't poke a hole in them. And have done it by accident. But it happened when I was taking them off. But I have almost had them warn out. So it didn't take much. But like I said you have to have patience putting these on, Or taking them off. They do stay up pretty good. However there is a little bit of sagginess to them. But nothing to go to crazy about. The only bad thing when it does sag some, It bunchs up a little bit behind your knees. But doesn't happen a hole lot. The fabric material isn't to transparent. It wont look like your wearing a pair of silky nylons.  It has more of a dress sock kind of look, Or like your wearing a pair of oquare tights. They are in Jet Black color, The only color they sell in these. They do provide a like dark brown shine to them. In sun or bright light. Like I said they are thick material, So they do have some pretty good warmth to them. But if you would like to put on a pair of tights on with these, You can, You just lose the ability of the easy access on the brief. Now me wearing Pantyhose for so long. Its not really issue to me. I have my ways lol. Just putting that out there. Now with the sheer toe. It does have enough room in the toe area. So if you was to put a pair of tights on top of these. It shouldn't have any pinching in the toes. Or at least for me. I haven't had any. But don't wear tights with these to often. 

So I think I said pretty much all I wanted to say about these. There just awesome. I'm very happy I found these.  The rating I would give these. 1 out of 10. I would give it a 8. Cause there could be small improvements,But seriously if your looking for a good pair of hosiery for compression, If its for on the job, Or just need them to walk around. And keep your legs from hurting. These would be great to try out. But like I said. They only come in Jet Black unfortunately. For me I love blacks in my legwear. But I do know some, That might like a different color. And for me once in awhile. I do like to change it up in colors. Just something I would like to see different, But not a big deal. Seriously they are very comfortable. And I do think everyone would like these. Or I should say us guys would. Women could wear these, If they wanted to, But I don't think that would be in the likely hood. 

If your interested in these. These are a discountsurgical.com product, But I believe they are discontinued on there website. But you can get still get these on amazon.com. I will provide a like for everyone
