Magical underwear Vs Onnara

Magical underwear from Japan. Magic ? Yeah ... it's quite different from the usual cotton or nylon underwears. It's more durable, absorbs sweat , and it is better. For more, please go to :




Fart-filtering underwear 

But you all would agree with me that the ONNARA is much more magical !!

Wearing bra makes breasts sagging



Wearing bra makes your breasts sag ! It's not just a contrarian view. Research shows that this is TRUE !!   For more, please go to http://in.screen.yahoo.com/wearing-bra-makes-breasts-sag-131411042.html
 
For generations, women have been advised that wearing a bra would keep breasts from sagging, prevent back pain and improve posture.
Wrong, wrong and wrong, according to a study conducted by Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sports medicine specialist from the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Besancon, France.
"Medically, physiologically, anatomically — breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity," Rouillon said. "On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra."

Kerala Dress — OTTA MUNDU is lower part of the outer garment . It is simply called as Mundu • ONNARA MUNDU is the traditional loincloth of women. Traditional loincloth of men is Konakam • RETTA MUNDU  is upper part of the outer garment. It is also known as Mel mundu or Settu mundu. Thattam is the headscarf of Muslim women • THORTHU MUNDU is the upper garment in medieval times. Later it is worn over blouse. This is the bathing wrap • THAR MUNDU is outer garment for martial art practices and also used as dancewear by women • KUPPAYAM is a shirt like blouse used by Christian and Muslim women. It is well known as Chatta • NJORI MUNDU Christian women wear mundu with pleats at the backside. This style is known as Njori mundu • MISCELLANEOUS In earlier times Mulakkacha is used as bodice and outer garment by the elites. Then Rowca replaced the Mulakkacha. It has no hooks but only tied by a knot in front side. Then the Blouse and Saree came in Industrialization era of 1970’s • KASAVU Zari woven border in Saree and Mundu • KALLI is the printed cotton sarong. DIMENSIONS — Onnara and Thaar are same in dimension. But Thar has the border (Kara) • Onnara and Thar (270cm L X 60cm B).


 
• NERIYATHU is the shawl for Christian women and Hindu men. Then Hindu women also adopted it as Mel mundu. Muslim men wear it as Rumal .

Highlight these points:
• Onnara acts as a body shaper.
• Onnara acts as the chastity belt that is beauty with safety.
• Onnara can be secured with safety knots at corners.
• Onnara absorbs the sweat in groin area.
• During mensuration extra padding cloth can be inserted.

Make paragraphs about the following headings.
Advantages: Onnara — Traditional • Hygienic • Eco-friendly
Multiple usage: Onnara — Undergarment • Shape wear • Chastity belt
Various situations: Onnara — Mensuration • Office • Travel

- Do some fieldwork (with the help of females)
• Ask elderly people for practical guidelines.
• Take genuine photos of Onnara with their permission.
• Upload it to the Wikipedia site.
Candid photos are not clear.
• Ask Hantex and other stores for availability.
• And you may yourself start online sale.

- Do some paperwork
• Draw line drawings by a proper artist (How to drawings)
• Scan magazines ads for clarity.
Do not upload ads by photos. It gets glare and dark.
