Shower kirpan

I've only been an Amritdhari for a few years, but I'd like to think I've got the hang of showering and sleeping with my kirpan on. 

 

Like others have stated in previous comments, when showering or bathing I tie my gathra and kirpan around my keski. Both my Kirpans are an OK size. One 6" and the other 9". The adjustable gathras are best to have rather than the non adjusting types for this as you can shorten appropriately to just wrapping one or two times around your head. 

When I want to wash my Kes then I remove the kirpan and wrap it around my waist by adjusting the gathra to an appropriate size and wrap my dastar also around my waist. 

It's just about being sensible. 

Some people have given wrong information when it comes to setting aside your K's. They must never be removed from your body they become a part of it. Panj Pyare at all amrit sanchars will tell you this when they recite the rehat maryada. Unfortunately they don't explain how to sleep and shower with them at them time. 

The kirpan is part of your body now, so it stays with you. I think you are doing well. IF you do become separated from any of your Ks do ardas and japji sahib when you are putting back on.
