A nice comment by Doyel in a blog post
I am 30 years old ,short,plump and fair and have a bit of a stomach.When i used to wear a saree previously i always used to wear it above my navel as i felt self-conscious to wear it otherwise.but i used to feel uncomfortable as the string felt extremely tight and made a deep red line across my stomach.It was my husband who first suggested to me that I wear my saree below my navel.i was afraid of looking trashy but he assured that wearing it one or two inches below the navel would not make me look so.he asked me to keep it covered always with my pallu if i felt uneasy,but wear it below all the same.
One year later,i now feel it’s much better this way.The line has almost disappeared and i have a smooth,soft stomach now.Previously i used to feel a very tight and suffocating feeling at my middle but now my stomach feels quite free and cool…and the thing i was most afraid of…it’s nothing ultimately,people do not treat me trashily.
I can can ultimately end up by saying that I’m a short and plump married woman who wears her saree two inches below her navel…and i like it this way,bcos it’s much more comfortable and cool.wearing the saree below the navel is not the same as flashing your navel in public…you can keep it covered with your pallu all the same and other people would hardly know the difference…but this way it is more comfortable and healthy.I would advise other women to do likewise.
And I agree with her completely. With a saree you have so much freedom of accentuating the parts that you want to and hiding the parts that you don’t want others to see.
You need to use all degrees of freedom allowed by Saree.
One of the other problem that happens if you wear saree above your naval is that if you go out to dinner, the saree that felt comfortable when you wore it before leaving the house is suddenly so tight that it is cutting of blood supply to your lower extremities.
You can avoid that by adjusting exactly how much to lower the saree.
Few days ago we visited the museum and had to shop. I wore a white transparent saree as usual 5” below my navel with a sky color sleeveless blouse. The material (net) of the saree itself was super transparent but design on the saree made it semi-transparent. In absence of the design it’d be a plain white net super transparent saree. My hubby appreciated the way I wore the saree. He told that I was looking gorgeous. I draped my saree without making multiple folded pallu; so it was like just a transparent screen on my navel region. Later my hubby told that the visibility of my navel was on when there was just the plain saree part on my navel and off when the design came on my navel. At the museum instead of looking at the antiques everybody was looking at me! My hubby noticed and said that I was a show piece at that time. Thanks to my hubby, he massages my navel-region twice a week with luke warm oil. He also pours luke warm ghee in my navel and let it stay there for few minutes and then with his thumb and a small pressure he rubs that ghee in and out of my navel region in circular motion. He tells that day-by-day my belly skin is getting a shine to it and my navel looks even better than before! Probably that’s why after museum when we entered into a saree shop the shop-keeper was looking at me as if he had not seen any woman before. I was trying different sarees on me and sometimes my navel region got visible as I wore saree 5” below my navel and then while walking it slided down to 6” below my navel. Ultimately we ended up buying a red color net super transparent saree.

Last weak end all of my family members went to eid party. I wore light green embroidered net saree about 5 inches below my navel with a sleeveless blouse. Net is absolute transparent and this was my first experience of wearing a super super transparent net saree. Without embroidery this net saree would have been difficult for me to wear. My hubby told that it was a transparent screen on my navel area and every body was looking at me as they have never seen before. Thanks to my hubby and my family members who are very cooperative. Moreover I am thankful of Anamika. Before my marriage I was not supposed to wear saree, after marriage I was free to wear saree. My mother trained her children to wear bottom below navel is good for health. I used to wear my salwar below navel but wearing saree below navel, was difficult for me. Then only Anamika helped me to control on my nervousness. I am thankful of her, unfortunately from some time I could not get on her email. Anamika if you are reading this please send me a mail.
Hi, I am Sukyna 25 Year old married women with 6 ft high and good built up. I am silm and have a flat navel. Before marriage I used to wear my dress like salwar, Jeans and Sarees above navel. But after marriage my husband and MIL/SIL encouraged me to wear by saree and other dresses below navel as they themself use to wear in that manner. Therefore, hesitantly I started it wearing first at Home on Holidays and before going to office and after coming form office. One day we have to attend one Marriage party at night with my husband. My husband suggested me wear saree below navel as his friend’s wives wear it below navel. First I hesitate to wear it in public.But afterward I made a mind and wear the semi-transparant saree with silk peticoat 2 inch below navel. I was looking very sexy in the saree with big curvey navel on soft stomach.I was covering my navel with pallu but sometimes, my navel was visible to people and they used to stare at it. After Dinner, there was Dance going on with Bride/Groom and all friends and their wives. I was feeling shy therefore, I was seating on the corner with husband. But one of close friend of my husband came to us with his wife and took us to the dancing board. Compulsorily I had to dance with my husband. As my hands were on the shoulder of my husband, my saree’s pallu was open and my vide navel was visible throghout. All my husband’s friends wivew were dancing and all of them have tied their sarees well below navel. Since i worn silky peticoat inside, it got loosen with dance and my saree fall downward nearly 4 to 5 inch below navel and I did not get the chace to adjsut. All people were staring at my sexy flat smooth stomach. After dance I tried to adjust the saree above but since peticoat has loosen, it was again falling below. When we came home, my saree was atleast 6 inch below navel and my MIL has seen me in that position and got surprised. I also got surprised to see my MIL who had also loosed her peticoat while sleeping and her saree had also adjusted much below navel below are tummy and her big sexy navel was open. That night we had nice sex with my husband and since then I started wearing low wait saree in public confidently.
Hi everybody. I am sarita 26 year old married women with one kid aged 2 years. I work of Bank as officer. At office I wore all types of dress such as Salvar,Jeans, Midi and Saree. I wear all my dresses and particularly saree adbove the navel region as I have flat stomch with 1 inch diameter slighly outie navel with pinkish skininside. At office my smotch is always coverd with pallu however if I have to pull files from upper salves of cuboard or while traveling in train or bus when my hands/arms streched upward my saree falls little below and upper portion of my navel become visible. One day it was so happened that after reaching office, one of my teech started paining. I could not eat anything and have to take dentis’s appointment for evening. As all appointment were full I requested a lady denist to take me in clinic ealry before her other appointments at 4 pm fow which she agreed as a special case. That day I worn saree and my stoch was empty as I could not eat anything. I finished my work early and rushed to clinic. In train I could not get the place to seat and all the I had to stand by putting the strip. As my hands were up and I was in hurry I did not notice that my saree has fallen below my navel of my empty stomch. Any how I reached the clinic but late by 5 minutes. Dr. Was waiting for me and immediately she asked my to lie inchair. As I was in hurry and there were no other patients and I was with lady Dr.I did not ajust my saree above navel and it was visible to lady doctor all the while she was treating the teech. As my stoch was empty due pain while treatment I was moaning and my stoch going down while paining or when I was told to hold my breath, my saree falled about 2 to 3 below navel. When my treatment was over after nearly half and hour to 40 minutes and I got up from the chair, saree had fallen much below to 3 to 4 inch. However by the time my treatment was over other patients arrieved at the clinic and again I could not get chance to adjust the saree. Lady Dr. After treatment and while talking admired my stomch and sexy navel and advised me to wear saree below navel only. She also used to wear saree below navel about an inch or two. I had called my husband to clinic to pick me up for home by 5 pm. He was also surprised to see my saree 4 inch below navel. As on the way I could not get the chance to adjust the saree upward, I went with same position and my MIL and SIL also surprised to see me with my saree much below navel. I narreted them the incidence happened all the day but they also suggested me to tie my saree below navel as I was looking dam good and sexy. My MIL ans SIL always tie their saree below navel. Therefore after that incidence I got the confidence and courage and now I always wear my saree at least 2 inch below navel at home, office or while going out to family,friend, market, school etc.
