Interesting, I learned something today. Probably just like men, they wear beneath their inner garments. Some men are innovative, they have important keys or safety pins "tied" to their 'poonal'. Women display their innovation by having safety pins on their "thali" (mangal sootra). I guess they got innovative in the days when not many wore pants with pockets. Did you know a Chennai Saree store has come out with Sarees with pockets! Of course cell phones drove the innovation.
