UK stockists are reporting record sales of sheer, patterned and support tights for men. Retailers say men's tights are not being sold as fetish garments, but as practical, comfortable and stylish everyday wear.

"I don't know what is going on – sales have gone mad," said Kieran Hughes, director of the tights stockists Precious Collections.

"In the past two months we have gone from selling 300 pairs of tights a month to men in the UK, to selling more than 1,000."

Gawd! This is too funny!

People don't realise that it takes much more than a pair of tights and a cape to be like me and Papaya???

OK, I'll admit it. I wear tights... but only while running, and only on very cold days. I can't stand running in sweat pants or track pants, so I have a couple pairs of Under Armour cold-weather tights that I wear under my running shorts.

what about the hair on your legs? When I put on nylons and I haven’t shaved my legs it drives me crazy. Does all of your leg hair turn upward and then twist and try to turn back down in a natural direction while you run?

I must confess, I really do need to find a pair of green tights for my Green Arrow costume one of these days.

I've never had a problem with the hair. It might be because these leggings are quite a bit thicker than ladies' nylons, so there aren't as many pores for my leg hair to get caught in.

We're men, we're men in tights.
We roam around the forest looking for fights.
We're men, we're men in tights.
We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right!
We may look like sissies, but watch what you say or else we'll put out your lights!
We're men, we're men in tights,
Always on guard defending the people's rights.

[Dance number, chorus line style]

We're men, MANLY men, we're men in tights. Yeah!
We roam around the forest looking for fights.
We're men, we're men in tights.
We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right!
We may look like pansies, but don't get us wrong or else we'll put out your lights.
We're men, we're men in tights (TIGHT tights),
Always on guard defending the people's rights.
When you're in a fix just call for the men in tights!
We're butch.
:p
