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?
Our traditional tie-on waist beads are available in 50-inch and 60-inch lengths.
50-inch waist beads: Generally recommended for customers who wear up to a 2XL or prefer a higher placement around the waist.
60-inch waist beads: Generally recommended for customers who wear above a 2XL, prefer a lower placement around the hips, or want additional length for comfort and layering.
Because clothing sizes vary, we recommend measuring around the exact area where you plan to wear your beads before ordering.
If you're between sizes or unsure, we suggest sizing up. Extra length can be trimmed after tying, but length cannot be added.
Your waist beads should feel comfortable and move with you through every season of your body.
Where should I wear my waist beads?
That's entirely up to you! Some women prefer wearing their beads at their natural waist, while others love a lower placement around their hips.
Choose a placement that feels comfortable, beautiful, and true to you. Your beads should never feel restrictive.
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.

Orders & Shipping
How long will it take to receive my order?
Orders typically ship within 3-5 business days. Shipping times vary based on your location.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes! We ship to select international destinations. Shipping costs and times will be calculated at checkout.
Care & Maintenance
How do I care for my waist beads?
Your waist beads can be worn in the shower and during daily activities. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive pulling to maintain their beauty.
Can I remove and re-wear my waist beads?
Our traditional tie-on waist beads are designed for continuous wear and do not have a removable clasp.
When you're ready to remove them, carefully cut the strand. Once cut, they cannot be worn again in their original tied form without restringing or retying.
Whether you're celebrating a new chapter or simply ready for something different, the choice is always yours.
Returns & Exchanges
What is your return policy?
Due to the intimate nature of waist beads, we do not accept returns or exchanges for change-of-mind purchases.
We encourage you to review your preferred length and product details carefully before placing your order.
