How to Tie Your Waist Beads (Video timestamp: 1:38)

1. Stand up straight.
2. Wrap the strand around your bare waist (waistline, high hip, or hip, depending on where you want the beads to sit).
3. Relax your stomach and leave a little room for breathing, sitting, and moving. The fit should be snug but not tight.
4. Slide off any excess beads.
5. Tie 2-3 firm knots.
6. Trim the remaining thread, leaving about ¼" (7 mm).

Optional: Add a drop of nail glue or super glue to secure the knot.

Note: Always measure on bare skin unless you plan to wear the waist beads over clothing.

How to Measure Your Waist for Beads with Clasp

1. Stand upright and use a soft measuring tape directly on your skin.
2. Measure around your waist, high hip, or hips, wherever you want the waist beads to rest. (See model photo for guidance.)
3. Relax your belly and leave a little room for movement.
4. Make sure the tape is level, snug, and not too tight.
5. Read and double-check your measurement.

Avoid using clothing sizes as a guide. They are not accurate for waist beads fitting.

What are waist beads:

Waist Beads, also known as Body Beads, Belly Beads, Beaded Waist Jewelry, Hip Beads, Waist Chains, are traditional African adornments rich in culture and symbolism. In Ghana and across Africa, they have been worn for centuries to signify femininity, fertility, sensuality, and spiritual well-being.

Benefits of Wearing Waist Beads:

• Body awareness and posture improvement
• Weight tracking – beads roll up or down with body changes
• Confidence and femininity enhancer
• Spiritual alignment and intention setting

Do Waist Beads Help with Weight Loss?

Yes! Spiritual Waist Beads aid in gentle, mindful weight tracking. As your body changes, the positioning of the beads changes, offering a natural and non-restrictive way to monitor your waistline.

Waist Beads and Femininity

Waist beads are a sacred expression of womanhood in African culture. In Ghana, young girls are traditionally adorned with beads as a rite of passage, marking stages of growth and maturity. Today, they are embraced globally as powerful expressions of femininity, spirituality, and personal style.
