I have to wear support hose for varicose veins. I currently wear support men's knee highs, but want to wear pantyhose sometimes. I really don't want to look like a dork with my knee highs and shorts in the summer. I'm ok with wearing pantyhose with shorts. We'll see how my wife reacts of course.
My issue is fitting the hose to my 6ft, 200 lb guy body. My fear is the tight waistband that cuts into my natural waist, at 39 inches. I'm not heavy, but the years have added a little. Still wear 34 pants, but they sit lower. Robert at Shapings has suggested several very nice items and they look pretty good in that size 5. I probably will order a couple pair, but I wonder if any of the guys have experience with such fittings in the support world.
Thanks
Traci
