MOSCOW BAN on Underwear: You must have heard that many countries of the world have different rules regarding clothing fashion, but do you know that wearing a special type of underwear in Russia has a strict ban?
Yes, it may sound strange to hear, but in Russia there is a legal ban on wearing women’s laces underwear.
What is this unique law?
The production, imports and sale of lace underwear in countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus were banned under law in 2011.
The government believes that such underwear increases the risk of skin diseases.
Why did this ban?
According to the Russian government, lace underwear is mostly made from synthetic clothing, which do not absorb the body’s moisture.
This can cause problems like skin allergies, infections and itching.
This is the reason why such underwear was banned for health protection.
Public protested
Many times women also staged protests over this strange law.
But the government retained its decision, calling this ban necessary for health protection.
There is no such law anywhere else in the world
This law of Russia is also in the discussion because in any other country of the world, such a ban has not been imposed on the underwear.
What do experts say?
Health experts say that choosing the right clothes is very important for health, but such ban also raises questions whether the government should interfere in people’s personal choices.
Fashion or Health – Who is more important?
In Russia, this law may have been imposed due to health reasons, but it remains a matter of debate how correct the government’s intervention in such private matters.
