 the male dancer
written by Gym Guy at on 21.01. at 04:47:45 And there are some guys who wear tights without any type of support which in most cases does not look right which of course discourages other guys from wearing them. Of course dancebelts cannot be found in most sporting goods stores and males who do wear dancebelts when working out usually discovered them from taking ballet or from word of mouth. This means a guy has to pay a visit to a local ballet/dance store which is sometimes hard to do or simply order dancebelts over the Internet. The problem with the Internet is not knowing if the correct size or brand is what is most comfortable, and the ballet/dance store problem is trying one on in a dressing room or getting those stares from the staff or customers. So what to do? Encourage companies such as Capezio, Bal-Togs, etc. to start marketing dancebelts and male tights, leotards and unitards in sporting goods stores. This will obviously mean educating sporting goods stores of what the heck a dancebelt is plus it would be a good idea to change the name to something like "male athletic thong supporter for tights." Most people outside of ballet have no idea what a dancebelt is (some might think it's an ordinary belt put on pants and used when dancing). Also, the sizes need to be clear about the waist sizes or need to be modified for sporting goods stores. After all, a medium jockstrap is usually 32-34 but that does not necessarily mean a medium dancebelt will have the same fit. But what about the proper way to wear a dancebelt? This may sound a bit ludicrous but instructions enclosed with the dancebelt might be helpful because most males would probably try and wear it in the down position (and some do), others might not realize that it is good to wear it tight and snug, and many might not realize that a dancebelt makes a male look better in tights especially when the tights are pulled up tight. Capezio, Bal-Togs, MStevens, etc. also need to realize that it might be a good idea to market sporting goods dancebelts with some pouch padding for absorption and less of the male outline. They could have a couple of brands which Capezio already has: padded and non-padded. Also consider a dancebelt that allows for a cup to be inserted in the pouch for sports that require this. Why not manufacture tights, unitards, leotards, Speedos, etc with a built-in dancebelt? This would also help eliminate the problem of a dancebelt sliding down the waist, bending, or being exposed in case the tights slide down. Speedos and other bikini style swimsuits would also make the male feel more confident with a built-in dancebelt or something similar. Let's face it. Women look great in tights, unitards and leotards, so why should guys have to put up with athletic wear that does not do justice for those who have worked hard for a well defined body or at least wear something that allows for more freedom of movement? Tights, leotards, thong leotards, unitards, Speedos, etc., are also for males and the dancebelt (or something similar) is the solution. Write or call Capezio, Bal-Togs, MStevens, and others and tell them you want their products in sporting goods stores for males. Guys and gals, please share your views about this on this forum!
