The Knoty problem

Again, it's about the "knot". The "safety knot" !
Many , it looks, is still not clear (aware) on how to prevent the thaar from untieing while moving around. That is, how to retain its tightness all along you wear it.  That's to make you confident with the thaar, at home,  office, or outside.
A couple of posts in this blog has earlier described how to use the "KNOT" technique.  But some has again pointed out the fact that the knot has its protrusion (bulge) seen outside. That's partially true. However, a rightly put knot can save you from the fear of a bulge at your rear. Be careful about the knot.
While putting the knot, be judicious to make the knot sufficiently big (so that the knot locks the thaar) and do not make it too small (when it may come off easily).  The knot should be a flattened oval, and not as a roundish ball. Look at the pictures below.

The corner of the onnara(thaar)mundu. This corner, with its end tied as a knot goes round under to your rear.

This is a simple knot. The knot size should be enough to tuck in.  Just enough, but it's going to be very difficult to open the knot before you wash after use. The knot would be too tight/rigid once you wear it for sometime.



A better knot, in the shape of  "alpha" would make a slightly bigger knot, but could be flattened. Moreover, it has a tip which could be pulled out to open the knot (easy to open the knot for washing the thaarmundu). 
This knot when tucked in at your rear, be flattened, so that the bulge is controlled. 


Onnara users may try this and make yourself confident.  And, post your comments as well !
