Frequently Asked Questions
About Waist Beads
What are waist beads?
Waist beads are a traditional African accessory worn around the waist or hips. They're a beautiful form of self-adornment that celebrates femininity, confidence, and personal ritual.
How do I choose the right size?
We currently offer 50-inch and 60-inch permanent tie-on waist beads.
50-inch waist beads
Recommended if you typically wear up to a 2XL or prefer a higher, more fitted placement on the waist.
60-inch waist beads
Recommended if you wear above a 2XL, prefer a lower hip placement, or want extra length for comfort and layering.
If you are between sizes or unsure, we suggest sizing up. Extra length can be tied off, but length cannot be added once tied.
Waist beads should feel comfortable, affirming, and supportive in every season of your body.
How do I put on my waist beads?
Our waist beads are designed to be tied on and worn continuously. Detailed instructions are included with every order.
