Underwear Guidelines on Undergarments and Hygiene Based on the Teachings of Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji
1. For Males:
Males should wear a kaopiina (tight-fitting underwear, also known as laungota ) that holds the testicles down and the penis up.
The kaopiina protects the genital area from injury and helps prevent conditions such as hydrocele.
Boys should start wearing a kaopiina immediately upon reaching adolescence, typically between the ages of 12 and 14 in India.
During the practice of asanas, males must wear only a kaopiina, without any other clothing.
Not wearing a kaopiina during physical activities or receiving a blow to the genital area can result in hydrocele, caused by the accumulation of fluids around the testicles.
2. For Females:
Females should wear a bra and tight-fitting underwear.
These garments should be worn at all times, including during the practice of asanas.
3. General Hygiene:
All clothing that comes into direct contact with the body, including kaopiina, bras, and underwear, should be washed and changed daily.
