I absolutely despise the continuous drawstrings for practical use, but I’m currently need to have them tied at all times for my sport. After a bit of trial and error I’ve managed to find a way to tie them that isn’t impossible.

After undoing my knot all of the excess elastic from the top of my knot refuses to go back in. Is this just something I’ll need to deal with or is there a way to force it back in without bunching up? TIA!
