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.

Cotton vs. polyester? Silk Vs. Lycra? Paper Vs. Plastic? Is it legal for their woman to "not where panties at all"? How do they calculate the resulting "absorption rate" of that?

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.

"...legislation - which includes provisions covering the required level of moisture absorption in the garments...."

If Congress can dictate what toilets and light bulbs we can use why not regulate panties as well.

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.
