Waist Beads

Waist beads originated in Western Africa as an accessory worn on the waist or hips.  Waist beads have been worn for centuries, though the meaning behind wearing waist beads may vary, the significance is undeniable:

• Weight Awareness- a more body positive approach to weigh watching. If beads get tight or move upward from the original position, that would signify some weight gain or if they fall lower than the original position, weight loss.
• Femininity & Sensuality- only seen by the wearer and their partner, kind of like a piece of lingerie.
• Maturity- womanhood, growth.
• Healing & Rejuvenation- crystals and gemstones/semi-precious stone can be added to waist beads for their additional healing properties.
• Adornments- enjoying a beautiful accessory.
