Ok I already shared my story on why. I have to wear support Pantyhose or medical stockings everyday. Todays subject is. Why did I decide to go social with it on social media? And the answer is why not. And there isn't a whole lot about men wearing support pantyhose or mantyhose on the internet. Theres only a few of us gentlemen out there that went social about it. Or just wear it proudly. And I use to be one of those people who was impressed by wearing them. And hide it from everyone. And kept it a secret from everyone. And was always so scaryed to even go to the store and buy them. But that was until I got to meet Rob Speedking on via twitter. And got talking to him. As well following him on twitter & following his blog at speedkingrva.blogspot.com . As well meeting a few others on Twitter and Facebook. But it was Rob Speedking blog and posts. That made me feel better about my self. And less impressed by it. And just like Rob Speedking has said on his blog and social media.. We may have a disability why should we hide it. Just wear your hosiery & be proud of it. And just be your self. I was really nervous at first. Coming out to my close friends & family. Well whats left of my family. I took baby steps with it. My father & I where living together. I told my dad first. Dad was a little lost for words. Until I explained why. And what I have learned from the internet about it. And for years we where going to doctor after doctor. Trying to find something. To get me throw the day without leg pain. And we couldn't find a cure. I lost hope until I turned to google search. And all I could find was about the hosiery compression. My dads words was. Dad asked does it really help. I replyed yes. And dad just said. Well that's all that matters. Dad might of not said it. But I believe that dad was a little un easy at first. But as time went on. And when I would be buying my hosiery. And explained on what brand does for me. Dad got more and more supportive. As well my dad just passed away in June 2016. Before dad passed. I was getting upset about wearing hosiery everyday & wearing out in public. Dad told me in his own words. Son there is nothing to be impressed about. And that I found a cure that no doctor could find for me. And that I should be proud of myself. But going backwards a bit. After I told my dad. I told my girlfriend Kasey. And Kasey was about the same as dad. She was a little unsure. But once I explained it more and more. And she saw me wearing them more. She begin to like it more and more. She would always say every now and then. Wooo Baby you look so hot wearing them. Always made me blush impressment. But I know she just was trying to make me feel good about it and cheer me up about it. Now going backwards again. Like I said I kept it a screat. Untill New Years for the year 2015. I was sitting up watching the New Year come in. And I kept hearing about goals for the New Year. I made myself a goal to wear my hosiery out publicly and proud with shorts. I told my dad about it. Dad just said it was all up to me. I explained the reasons why. One main reason was. I live in Florida "Tampa Bay area" Where in the summer time its very hot down here. With feel like temps around 100 degrees. And wearing hosiery or my support Pantyhose with jeans. Just feels like a lot to wear in the summer time. And also I said I'm just tired of hiding it. I told my self. Women have legs just like I do. If no one likes it. Then hard shit. So taking baby steps. After New Years. I would wear my hosiery with shorts. Baby steps just walked around the block & to the shopping center. All went well. No one seemed to notice or cared. So begain to wear hosiery with shorts more and more. And I don't want to sound gay about it. But it was a neat and fun experience. The first time I went to hangout with my guy friend. Was once again a little nervous. His name is James. We meet up. Sayed hey and all that. Then he noticed on what I was wearing. I explained to him why. And he was very cool about it. He didn't care that much. But we have known each other a long time. Where he knows that I'm not gay or a transgender person. And knows about my leg disability. So it was all cool. Next. I was really worried about Kaseys parents. Cause they known about me wearing my hosiery. But they already known about my leg disability. As well I would share why and what hosiery does for my legs. They seem to be very much on board with it. So that was a relief . And now as time as went by. Me & Kasey are now engaged now. So now I'm apart of there family now. Another cool thing.
So getting back on topic here. What made me wanna become social about it. And start a blog here on blogspot? I wanna give something back to a community. I wanna share my story with the world. As well I know theres other people out there that do fight a leg disability. My blogging and posts isn't where I'm trying to say "Hey All Men Should Where Pantyhose" No I'm just sharing with the world on what I have learned. What brands I wear. To what they do for my legs. What brands aren't so good. And now on Instagram. I post almost everyday outfits. Of what hosiery I'm wearing for the day. What does that brand give me with compression for my legs. And yeah hey why not. I even mix and match colors with my clothes with the colors of my hosiery to a degree. With posting pictures and sharing with the world has been a lot of fun. And even got to meet some nice people from around the world. And even get questions sent to me. Or just get comments. Feitsh comments I always ignore and delete. You know if your into fetish stuff fine.. But if you would take the time and read what I have typed. You can see I'm only posting for medical not sexual. This more science then a fashion statement. That men could benefit from it. Doesn't matter if your cheap with it. Or you buy something $20 dollars and up. All I'm saying is you don't know unless you try. And I'm talking for everyone. Not just men but women as well. Could benefit from it. But its not for everyone. Its like medication you take. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. But the thought is out there. And if your a guy and Support Pantyhose works for you and makes your legs feel better. Then cool! Wear it with pride. Just make sure if you do wear them with shorts out in public. Make sure your legs are nicely shaved. By doing that. You will get less bad comments. Take it from me. I been wearing publicly since 2015. 2 years now. And only got one bad comment from someone. And it just was from some punk kids. That doesn't understand. All I'm saying wear them with pride. And hey ill even put this out there. If you are a guy who does like to wear pantyhose or womens stockings. Then so what. Who care! Seriously I don't know why a guy would wanna wear pantyhose for fun. But if you like to wear them. Then wear them with pride. Its your life not ours.
And another thing. I have searched from time to time about. Pantyhose for men for a leg disability. And theres hardly nothing out there. Just bits nothing to big is out there. How I see it. More the better.
Last year on Facebook I have contacted a hosiery brand named L'eggs & Hanes Hosiery. Asking them as well just making a statement. And this is very much true from what I have read online. That Pantyhose is more common now a days. Bought more by men & women. As well lot of us men wear them on a daily basics for compression for a leg disability. They kindly deleted my posts. So must be ran by fashion women. I'm not sure. But its men like us who do wear them. And post about it on social media. Seems to be getting stronger. As ill say this. Its not often. But I do see some men wearing something in hosiery. Don't ask me if there pantyhose or stockings or medical stockings rather. But they didn't look like compression pants. As well maybe this is just me. But if you look more closely at the boxes of what the hosiery sizes. Has changed to a little bit more bigger sizes. Not all of them but some. As well its been there before. But theres also a hosiery made for men. Called activskin. Never tried them. But hoping to try them soon. As well I noticed on the website called hotlegsusa.com . And they got hosiery there now for men as well. I tested it out bought a pair of peavey pantyhose from there. And they say its for men. And they truly are pantyhose. But they do fit great. But just a few samples out there. Slowly but surely the hosiery for men trend is growing. Will it ever get big. As of right now I'm not sure. Maybe not. But if I can reach out to someone. It makes my posts all worth it
