According to this invention, there is provide improved matchsticks which deals with 1) Use of one matchstick twice. Due to double use of one stick we can reduce cost of matchstick box. 2) Increasing the thickness of the matchstick for safety purpose. In this invention, there is provided improved matchsticks in which we are increasing the thickness in the central part of the matchstick. The part where we have increased the thickness is coated with non-flammable material so that when one end of the stick catches fire and when it will reach to the center near the non-flammable material the fire will extinguish and then we can use the matchstick from the other side also as the phosphorus material is coated at both the ends of the matchsticks.
