Women invited to put off staring men with hairy tights

With summer just around the corner and women sure to be keen to wear skirts and shorts that show off their legs, those who are keen not to endure any unwanted attention have been offered a solution.

Ladies who are dreading the moment the first man sets eyes on their legs and his gaze lingers inappropriately have been told they can splash out on a pair of hairy stockings.

The tights have been designed so that they give the impression a woman has hairy legs, which is thought to be a major turn-off for prying eyes.

Having already proved a hit in China, the garment could now capture the imagination of women around the world.

"Super sexy, summertime, anti-pervert, full-leg-of-hair stockings, essential for young girls going out," a caption by Shanghai-based bloggers ChinaSMACK read.

While they are not to everyone's taste, it seems likely that they might just do the trick for females who are determined to keep men at bay this summer.
