A group of Chinese designers has introduced an unconventional method to combat sexual assault: women’s stockings that mimic the appearance of unshaven legs. The company behind the product claims it will help women avoid unwanted attention from individuals with inappropriate intentions. The packaging of these “furry” stockings reads: “protects against creeps in summer” and “perfect for young nightlife enthusiasts.”
Currently, these hairy tights are generating lively discussions online. Some netizens argue the downsides of this Chinese innovation outweigh its benefits. “Ladies, these stockings will ‘help’ you avoid not only predators but also attractive men who might actually take an interest in you,” warns one forum participant. However, for now, Chinese trendsetters are mainly ordering the novelty for costume parties and carnival events.
That said, if the goal is to repel men, simply skipping leg shaving is a much cheaper alternative! 🙂
