Eco sexy lingerie

“If you don’t know what’s in your knickers, should you be wearing them ? “. This is a question from a film on lingerie (underwears). The context is that , the modern trend in fashionable lingerie is going ‘organic’ and ‘green’. Now that the stress is on ‘organic’ lingerie, we say the ‘Green Lingerie”. Ask yourself : “How green is your underwear?” . It would, most likely, be synthetic, if you are ‘modern’. As you know, modern underwears are made of synthetic materials. They pose a lot of problems. So, if you think you are modern and fashionable, you may be with modern synthetic underwesrs. You are inviting many problems.

Here is the greatness of the Keralite konakam and thaar. Both are fully ‘green’. There’s nothing synthetic about it. And so, is fully natural and organic.

Modern fashion, by default, is synthetic. Efforts to make it ‘eco-friendly’ is a new trend. Here comes ‘eco-friendly’ underwears ! If you are with your konakam or thaar, be proud that you have “eco-friendly’ lingerie, and so YOU are eco-friendly. The fashion world calls it “eco-sexy” !! Are you eco-sexy ? You are, if you have eco-friendly garments (including eco-friendly underwears).

So, all thaar wearers, all konakam wearers, be proud that you are the most modern. Just because you are eco-sexy (you have eco friendly (Green) underwears ).

Konakam

Konakam - the Classic male underwear.
This is the  'iconic' male under-garment. The smallest and the simplest garment in this world ! (excluding, may be, your handkerchief ! )
This simpleton is not that simple. It is a very powerful one, in many aspects. It does what a modern day brief doesn't do.  I shall come with more on this later.  Please also find the "How to wear" post in this blog.

There area a few good pictures, focusing konakams, in a group on this, at Yahoo groups. Search with the above name in Groups.

The sacred knots

This is about the knots. Here are a few snaps showing you the knots. As I told you earlier, the knots are a safety mechanism. And it certainly locks.

Thaar, a life saver

Don't be surprised !

I remember, a book written by a Keralite lady, published ( by DC Books' Book Club ) during early 1980s, (sorry, I don't remember the name ) had the narration of a ship wreckage. She was on a voyage (may be she's the wife of a crew member ! ? ) and the ship broke. It was sinking. All the passengers and crew had only an option, to jump into the sea and swim for life.

She wrote that : she prepared herself to jump and swim. She took a saree, tore it of a mundu size, and she did a tight thaar. The reason, she wrote, is that the thaar could protect both her holes below. The vagina, in particular, may cause some water to go in, while swimming. { the swimming action could pump in water }. This lady had to struggle swimming for long time, and she and some of her co-passengers were later rescued by a rescue ship.

See... how thaar helped her save herself !

Panties, on the other hand, is not tight enough to protect. It's only just an ornament. It won't protect your systems, the way the thaar does.

All women to note ... ( and all gentlemen to teach their women ) on the 'life-saving' aspects too.
