Why are spandex tights made in ANY size?

Because the makers of Spandex have entered into a conspiracy of collusion with the companies that make those mirrors which make people look taller and slimmer in order to increase sales of both products.

Not that I'm judging that particular size though, 'cause honestly...I don't think ANYONE should be wearing spandex!

For the same reason that Speedo's are made in size 48 waists. Because there's too many people who won't take an honest look in the mirror before they go outdoors. Here's a hint. If you have to check spandex sizes for "THAR SHE BLOWS" you shouldn't be wearing it.

At the end of the 80's, spandex were all but outlawed here in the States.  This prompted the Canadian govt. to buy all of our unused and some slightly used spandex for their new version of their mountie uniforms.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... spandex looks good on NO ONE!

I'm sorry there is nothing more amusing than a liquored up gal in a tight pair of spandex who looks like she is smuggling a pair of pigs in the back and a beach ball in the front getting out on the dance floor shaking her thing......the looks on the gents faces makes it all worth it.

very amusing

Oh my, I wish people would understand that spandex is a privelage, not a right. These boundaries clearly need to be established.

To provide 'THE PROPER MOTIVATION!!!!!!' ("That's a WAR face!")

(Shudders at the thought)

To frighten me.

...so people wearing them didn't feel to depressed or excluded.

...What the heck? Could you see a 400-pound person attempting to squeeze into a pair of Medium spandex pants? No. And large people deserve spandex, too.

Probably to compensate for the fact you have different body frame sizes.

So Michael Moore is not left out in the cold!Dang man, I just gave him more publicity than he has had in 5 months!

the better question is why do they not have 'plus' size spandex? haha. jk. but seriously what is the point of spandex? its not like its sexy or anything and it doesnt help you work out better!

To keep those of us that aren't plus sizes small (ie so sick from looking at it you lose your appetite for a week or so)edit: anyone notice that someone out there finds this topic offensive lmao

I wish they would make a Please don't wear those! size.

Because regualar spandex sizes can only stretch so far. Seeing a really big fella or gal trying to squeeze their big butt into a regular sized pair of spandex pants is scary. Sometimes they strech these suckers so far that they become see through. Not a pretty sight.

only in America

Actually spandex tights are NOT made in plus sizes. It's just that plus sizes cram their asses in regular sizes just to show they can. It makes them feel good about themselves, while everyone else has to suffer looking at them about ready to burst. There really should be a law about being seen in public like that.

This is a marketing ploy designed to make the rest of us throw up, thereby staying thin and looking fit enough to go out and buy more spandex.

It's their revenge on the rest of us. They have to see us everyday looking damned fine in all of our regular sized clothing, then they look at themselves and are disgusted so they make the rest of us suffer by having to see them dressed like that. Now I'm not talking about ppl who are a bit too pudgy or that take a slightly large size or have some kind rare thyroid problem. I'm talking about all of you nasty people that are so fat that your gut is hanging over your genitals and you claim that you have a thyroid problem while you order a double Big Xtra meal with cheese and bacon, upsized with a large chocoate milkshake in stead of the drink while coming through drive through and have the nerve to b!t*h at me beause we're out of mayo packets!

A lot of people don't really care that they look ridiculous or outright frightening before they go out.

Because they seriously want to gross us out!

Because the PC fashion police (made up of mostly 'Orca Fat' people) got laws passed so that clothing manufacturers must make their products in every size, even if it has to be special ordered. MOOOOO!

Because fat people need pants too.

To remind us that, just because something CAN be done, doesn't mean it SHOULD be done.

Because people who tend to be aesthetically offensive constantly suffer from delusions of grandeur that defy the laws of time, space, gravity and good taste.

It's just further proof (like we need any) that corporate America will do anything for a sale. They'd sell snow to Eskimos if they thought they could package it well enough to fool a few people into buying.
