Tights punishment is not an official punishment.

Basically tights punishment refers to forcing a male to wear feminine clothing as a form of punishment or control. The idea is a man is required to wear women’s nylons or tights in a semi public setting. By wearing the garments he is humiliated by the stigma of wearing women’s clothes.

For boys the term has been used as a reference of punishment, usually implemented by mothers or female authority figures. Boys viewed as wild or unruly would be required to wear tights and a dress as punishment, The idea being the boy would be humiliated by wearing garments strongly associated with girls. The objective is to teach the boy to behave in the future, else he would be required to dress as a girl again, where he would undoubtedly receive teasing from his male peers. Terms such as sissy and pantywaist could also be used with him. Girls might also tease him for being dressed as they are. He would worry about his reputation for being dressed as a girl.

Tights punishment would likely be used mostly as a deterrent for boys. Therefore it would be considered an effective way to correct his behavior.

Some women claim to have successfully used tights punishment on boys to correct their behavior. Some boys and men have claimed to have had a form of tights punishment used on them where they were required to wear tights and dresses by female authority figures. The punishment might last for a day, a weekend or longer depending on their situation. In their case it was not by choice and was viewed as a corrective measure. It usually helped to correct their behavior.

Tights punishment was the phrase used because tights have been associated as a female garment. It conveyed to the boy that he would be wearing girls clothes, especially tights, which would ensure he would be viewed as a sissy if it got out he had been wearing tights like a girl.
