Question Diabetics generally have circulation problems in the legs and feet.?
So, why aren't compression hosiery good for them? It seems diabetics do not need the compression, but to have loose fitting socks and hosiery. Seems to me the compression type hosery would help increase circulation in their legs and feet.

Best Answer Compression hosiery treats a different type of circulatory problem (varicose veins, back flow, etc.). A diabetic's problem is not that kind of circulation problem. Compression hosiery would actually contribute to the lack of circulation, not improve it.

Question How do we men get the ok to start wearing skirts and hosiery as available fashion options?
Many men are trapped but want to be free to wear these items of clothing. This would add spice to their fashion.

Best Answer More than just a few guys are wondering the same thing! Double standard...Women wear whatever they want (no such thing as a "cross dressing" woman). "Just do it" is obvious but not so easy... Women had it easier (when they adopted men's pants) because women are not as "homophobic" as men! (Afraid of being seen as weaker or as a homo). This really doesn't apply since skirts are just clothes and have been worn my men longer than pants throughout time and clothes do not make one gay. Gays don't wear skirts anyway unless it is a "look at me" problem they have. Women generally think a guy in a skirt is cool (obviously he knows he is a man). A few have the homophobic problem and don't go along with it. Just be cool and wear underwear as to not give the trend a bad name! Men will have the exact same issues as women when sitting, etc. hahaha but so what! Men's fashion is clearly stuck in a rut. Nothing new and exciting for many decades. Skirts obviously make more sense for the male anatomy than for a female so guys we are the ones all screwed up! Suggestion.... Just wear a mini skirt that is a plain like the example below IN PLACE of shorts. Especially at the BEACH and no one will notice.... START A TREND and maybe one day we will ALL have same options women enjoy today. As for Tights they are already widely used by men. Just wear them with skirt or shorts and not worry. See site below for info and that is just one manufacturer. Legs sells 40% of their pantyhose to men! While women abandon them men are rapidly taking them up!!! If you wear Graduated Compression Pantyhose with near 30% Lycra they will fit any body shape and they are preventive for the formation of ugly varicose veins in the FUTURE and the improved circulation can give you up to a 10% advantage over other athletes in competition. All good and another thing...they will keep you cooler than no hose if you are moving and they are exposed to air flow since they wick moisture to the surface and evaporate it giving cooling effect like a swamp cooler!!! ALSO guys NO tick bites (Lime disease)! Treat with Permetherin and no mosquito bites (no West Nile problems)! Pantyhose is SUPER practical. Women generally never figured out sizing and buying heaver quality hose so they don't break easily. They are truly High Tech!!! Funny because ALL women look more elegant and sophisticated in pantyhose in ALL situations! Nothing is cooler than a short skirt on a hot day! (pun intended). Once a guy tries on a skirt (seriously for a few hours) he will wonder why they aren't popular same as you. It's a really neat feeling not having something binding at the crotch for the first time in life!!! NOTE: A Kilt IS a SKIRT by definition so forget any differences. They are expensive, usually heavy and not necessary. Some women's skirts are perfect for guys as is with no changes! Just get them in Junior sizes so the hips are not too big. Recommend Stretch Cargo miniskirts that are plain (many pockets with belt loops) . See E-Bay for huge selection. NONE OF THE GUYS BELOW LOOK LIKE A WOMAN YET THEY ARE IN A SKIRT! When worn with guy clothes guys will still look like GUYS just like women still look like women when wearing pants! Bottom line...you and your friends help make the change happen... it's OK.
