Why Waist Beads

How do you choose the right waist beads for your body?

The best thing about waist beads is how individual they are. You can wear as many strands of beads as you like, and you can wear them for whatever reason you want. They’re a powerful means of self-expression.

To measure yourself for waist beads, I recommend deciding where you want your beads to sit on your body. Do you want them high on your waist? Down at your hips? Right at your belly button?

2 types of ways to have your waist beads made to comfort are 1)Semi-Permanent waist beads which tie onto the waist in the area where you want it to sit on the waist and you have to cut it off there’s no clasp to take the beads on or off. Typically used for weight tracking. They’re designed to stay on your body 24/7 until they break or you decide to cut them off for good.

The other type is Removable waist beads made with a crab clasp for control on when you wear and not. This type can come with a blended, matching extender chains. I do make extensions for removable waist beads just put it in your description when you pay so I will know to add. These may be a good option for people who want to continue wearing the same waist beads at any size without worrying about “fitting” into them. Instead, the beads fit you.

Heritage and pride

While women of all races and ethnicities wear waist beads, this accessory has unmistakably African origins. Waist beads are a popular way for Black women in the diaspora to connect to their ancestors and celebrate their heritage and cultural practices.

Waist Bead Magic

In Ghana and other parts of West Africa, women traditionally added charms and fragrant oils to lure suitors or protect themselves against negative energy. Today in the United States, many waist bead artists incorporate folk healing technologies into their designs, such as crystals, chakra healing, or intention setting.

Weight awareness

Waist beads are commonly used to gauge changes in weight. Rather than step on a scale, people can use waist beads to stay aware of any weight gain or loss in the abdomen.

Waist beads don’t stretch. If you were to gain weight, the beads will sit higher on the waist or feel tight. Conversely, if you were to lose weight, the beads will feel loose and fall further down to the hips.

Unlike the numbers on a scale, waist beads are more compatible with body positivity. Women of all sizes and shapes can comfortably wear waist beads to adorn their body.

Maturity

In parts of the world where waist beads are a cultural tradition, the beads are often associated with womanhood, maturity, and growth.

In Ghana, babies are traditionally adorned with waist beads during their naming ceremonies. Only girls, however, continue to wear the beads as they grow older.

In many West African traditions, mothers tie a pair of waist beads onto daughters during their first menstruation to symbolize their passage into womanhood.

Intimacy and fertility

Many women around the world use waist beads in intimate settings to enhance their sensuality. Waist beads may also be closely associated with fertility. Some women wear specific beads during sex when they’re trying to conceive.

Among the Ashante and Krobo cultures in Ghana, larger beads or bells are added to a woman’s waist beads once she’s fertile so she makes noise when she walks to alert potential suitors nearby.

In other cultures, waist beads are worn under clothing for only the wearer and her chosen partners to see, similarly to a special set of lingerie.
