New Style A699 is here!

We are pleased to announce a new style A669, with the same comfortable, matte fabric as our A599, only with a comfortable fly panel and convenient fly opening. Although the spandex content is high, the fabric is very light weight so the compression level is much less than other full support styles, making it an ideal choice for men who want some compression but not a lot. See the details and order it here. You'll be impressed!

Gerbe Quitting Men's Line

It's official, we're sad to report. Gerbe is discontinuing their men's products. We were suspecting this might be the case when they started telling us a few weeks ago that they were our of stock in certain items and were not planning on making them again. Now they have told us that they have decided not to make any men's products at all in the future. That's too bad, because even though their products were very expensive, they were well made and we almost never got any returned from unhappy customers. They cited low sales as the reason. So if you're a fan of Gerbe's products, what we have in inventory now is all you can get. Stock up now before they're gone.

Problems Ordering as a Guest?

A number of customers have been frustrated by one aspect of our new web site. If they placed an order as a guest and later went back either to create an account or try to order as a guest again, the system wouldn't allow it because their email address was already in use. What was happening was that the system had been creating accounts for guests all along and we didn't realize it. We have fixed the problem for future guests, so that the system no longer creates an account and the guest can continue to be a guest using the same email address over and over in the future.

For those previous guests for whom an account was inadvertently created, if you want to continue as a guest, we now know how to allow it. Email us. Better yet, consider using your account. Having an account is really a time saver on future orders, allows you to see what you've ordered in the past, and the information is totally secure with us. No credit card information is stored in your account. We can reset the password on your account, email you with the new password, and you will be able to log on to and use your account after that. You can then change your password to one of your choice. Email us and we'll help you!

We apologize to those customers who have had trouble with our new system. It was not our intention to make it more difficult to place orders, but the system is new to us, too, and we're still learning the details, and that's where the devil resides, of course!

New Distributors in Russia, Belgium, The Netherlands, Greece, Romania, and Sweden

We are pleased to welcome a new distributor in Russia called Caretta Shop, another one in Belgium called Astral Legxperience, and another new distributor in The Netherlands called Easyhose. They offer a variety of legwear for men and they are just starting with us, so their selection is limited, but it will grow as demand grows. If you like a particular style of ours and don't see it there, email them and ask them to carry it. Note that their prices may be a little higher than ours, but the prices reflect shipping and customs duty already included. For a complete list of all our current distributors, please see the Links page by pulling down on the Resources tab above and selecting Links.

We welcome several new distributors of our products around the world. In Greece and the Mediterranean we now have Tina Mikela. You may order directly at http://www.tinamikela.com . They also cover Romania and eastern Europe at http://www.tinamikela.ro . In China you may order our products from http://shop36172586.taobao.com/ . And in Sweden and northern Europe you may order from http://www.manstrumpor.se . In general their prices are a bit higher, but reflect that customs duty, if any, and bulk shipping have already been paid. You will benefit by purchasing from these distributors because they can ship to you faster and cheaper in small lots than we can from the States. Not all of them carry our full line, so if you don't see what you want, ask them to carry it. Our distributors have no exclusive territory, so you may buy from whoever has the best deal.
