Uses
Drawstrings are used in clothing like outerwear such as jackets (Anorak, hooded sweatshirts--or "hoodies", etc.), trousers (breeches, pajamas, scrubs, etc.), tracksuits, hats (berets) and bags (pouch, sleeping bags, stuff sacks, money bag, book bags, backpacks, garbage bags, etc.), and shoes (as a shoelace).
On clothing and bags, an aglet is usually (but not always) at the end of a drawstring to prevent unravelling, and a cord lock can be used on a drawstring to keep it taut. A safety pin, bodkin, or crochet hook can be used to pull a drawstring through a hole.
