I'm outraged for them.

Women took to the streets wearing panties on their heads Sunday as they protested new laws banning lace underwear in Kazakhstan.
The legislation - which includes provisions covering the required level of moisture absorbtion in the garments - will come into force this summer in Kazakhstan as well as Russia and Belarus, according to the Moscow Times.
This sparked the so-called "Panties for the President" demonstrations in the Kazakh capital, Almaty, on Sunday.
"It irritates me the most that the authorities want to decide what I should wear," Iryna Davydenko, a bank manager who travels regularly between Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine, told Al Arabiya English. "As if all other issues in the country are solved and the only outstanding issue is ladies' panties."

In Soviet Kazakhstan, panties line you.
I would also guess there are no Victoria’s Secret stores in Kazakhstan.
Of course, it’s a silly law that takes away individual choice. I’m sure glad the US doesn’t have any of those.
I'm outraged for them.
The proposed regulation doesn't ban wearing, it bans selling. No new hygienic certificate for such pants anymore, and selling ungergarments without one is a misdemeanour punished with a fine.
The absorbtion is measured in a lab when a producer/importer provides a sample. The method, I guess, is weighting the sample before and after moisturizing it.
If Congress can dictate what toilets and light bulbs we can use why not regulate panties as well.
next thing you know, they will be compothing a patriotic thong about this ithue.
The scary thing is that if they’re throwing those numbers around, they clearly already have a bureaucracy that is dedicated to running around and measuring moisture inside womens’ panties.
I served in that bureaucracy — or at least a spontaneous college chapter — but that was before I met my wife ...
Another example of totalitarianism.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Please exit the thread in a orderly fashion ...
hee hee Hee.
Thanks! ;-)
Ping.
ROFL!
I have noticed a lack of attention to men’s undies...boxers or briefs....question.
Don't ask, don't tell!
"You made a BINGO!"
