    L'Eggs Pantyhose

    Does anyone remember when L'Eggs pantyhose came in the plastic egg? When they first started in business their sales reps had to go to businesses to get them to purchase the product. All of their sales reps were females (GG). Their sales reps had to wear the product as part of their sales position. A long time ago a man applied for a sales position with them and was turned down because he was not female. He sued L'Eggs for sexual discrimination and won. They told him that he had to wear their product like all of the other sales reps. He shaved his legs and wore their product. His sales were astronomical compared to other sales reps. His sales pitch apparently was "If they can make my legs look this good, imagine what they can do for yours." This would have been a great job for someone that likes wearing pantyhose on a regular basis.

    My desire is to create an illusion that is a compliment to all women.
    It is meant to uphold and celebrate their presence and beauty.

    I remember the egg It was a sought after prize for many years but unfortunately I wasn't where I am now, emotionally, and obtaining that egg was never possible. If I remember correctly, they mostly contained Legg's every day and those, in my opinion, are their worst line of pantyhose. It's no wonder GG's are turned off to pantyhose. These days they have much better lines, sheer energy is my "go to" pantyhose but it doesn't come in a egg

    What a great job that would be to have. To have to shave my legs, wear panty hose and show them off to everyone. A dream come true.

    Weren't they the kind Broadway Joe wore in that iconic advertisement?

    It may of course be a bit disturbing to sense that one is really not so firmly anchored to the gender one was born into.

    Wow, that was a blast from the past. Yes I remember the eggs. I remember No nonsense hose. I remember Hanes.
    But above all, I remember Joe Namath in hose plugging the Beautymist brand.

    I believe this is the Joe Nameth commercial. Looks like Beautymist didn't come in an Egg'.

    Thanks DelilahGurl for the answer, some times I forget the details, and the you tube from Persephone was the proof in the pudding, thanks. Anyone notice the price $1.69 wow.

    I remember all of it, the egg, the slogan, and the Joe Namath add. I loved how tight the shear energy pantyhose were and how good they made my legs look. Thanks for the memories. Brenda

    I tried to find out how much joe namath got paid for doing that pantyhose commercial and found no mention of it. Does any one know?

    This brings back some old memories, thanks for that trip down memory lane. I always wondered if Joe got teased by his team mates for that commercial.

    Don't know what he got for the commercial, but I remember he got the huge sum of $500,000 for signing!

    Of course I remember the L'Eggs eggs. Us older crossdressers are quite familiar with them I'm sure. There used to be huge racks of them everywhere. Drug Stores, Supermarkets. etc. Now it is hard to find pantyhose and Nude in Queensize - almost impossible.

    I remember them perfectly and Walmart was selling them again for a short time but they were in a little cardboard box. I bought 2 boxes of the energizers and wished I would have bought more, they are thicker and I really feel them on my legs.
    I think if I had that job it would be the only situation that I wouldn't mind takeing my work home with me. It would be a pleasure.
