How To

Please use measuring tape for a more accurate size. Measure yourself on bare skin  where you would like your beads to fall. Make sure the measuring tape is snug, not too tight or too loose. Measure yourself sitting down, and do not suck in your stomach. Sit comfortably when measuring yourself. If you’ve never worn waist beads before, measure right below your belly button. If you have a tummy, measure underneath it. Measure lower if you would like your beads to fall lower. 

Traditional African waist beads:

It is perfectly fine to bathe, shower, swim, exercise, and have sex in traditional African waist beads strung on cotton string. Once tied on securely they become an intimate extension of you, and you do everything in them. Just be mindful not to pull on them while pulling your pants down to use the bathroom.

Made to order waist beads:

The more simple made to order waist bead styles are also perfectly fine to bathe, shower, swim, exercise, and have sex in. Over time any gold or metal components on the waist beads will become less shinny. Again be mindful not to pull on them while pulling your pants down to use the bathroom
