Mantyhose: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/28527841?gt1=43001
I suppose they would be good compression for post-workout recovery?
SNL did a Today Show skit this weekend featuring mantyhose, and I thought they MADE IT UP but Noooooooo.
As soon as some Kona winner says that he wears mantyhoses, every other triathlete will start wearing them just like compression socks.
I was thinking there was a thread on the tri forum about full length leg compression “socks” I need to go back and see if I can find it. That is how the right manufacturer should market them. All they’d have to do is change the packaging.

That doesn’t even need to happen. If an M-Dot gets slapped on those things they will fly off the shelves at all tri stores!

They do have a purpose. Sounds like a mangirdle would be complimentary attire.
"The “mantyhose” is also part of a larger trend of untraditional men’s underwear designed to lift, sculpt and suck in that beer belly "
That article mentions SPANX. I found a pair at TJ Maxx this weekend and thought what the heck. I’ve heard about SPANX amazing ability to suck up the ass / gut fat, but wow, I was impressed at how much better my ass looked in my skirt this morning. I swear, it looks like I lost 5 pounds. Going back to TJ Maxx for another pair tonight.
SPANX lives up to the hype.
2 resposes:
-
what a silly thing. who would wear these?
-
how different are these from my 3 pairs of running tights?
cause i dig my running tights.
My understanding is that they are thin like a womens pantyhose. You should try then out and let us know. 
I’ve got a pair that I wear underneath skirts as well. Comfortable, holds everything in tight and much smoother than regular underwear.

Whoa…isn’t that like false advertising or something? 
I’m married. I don’t advertise anymore. I just like feeling thin but I need a little help.
Joe Namath wore pantyhose way back when…ultimate dude of all time…
What is the difference between those and these?
Little red "x"s don’t go on under your pants?
Would I wear those with a bro, or a manzier?
The word “mantyhose” keeps giving me kind of a weird mental image. I think that when I’m reading fast, my brain interprets it as “manateehose.”
Depending on your weight, that might be complely accurate.
He says that he enjoys the fit and feel of the “mantyhose” so much that he wears them year-round, even though he now holds an office job.
Sir, step away from the mantyhose …and hand over your man card.
You knew someone was going to say it.
Manateehose should not be worn near sparks or open flames.
