Waist beads are an age old African tradition and are worn for many reasons and purposes to celebrate femininity, welcoming to womanhood, fertility, healing, spirituality, power, balancing, attracting and keeping a mate, rites of passage, rejuvenation, initiations, first menses, energy, body shaping, to promote good blood circulation, sexual enhancers, and protection amongst other things.
Waist beads can be anointed with special oils and herbs that will be absorbed into the skin for healing purposes.
Traditionally waist beads are worn under clothing by African women but have also been worn outside of the clothing in some parts of Africa. In the modern world waist beads are worn boldly outside of clothing against bare mid drifts as a fashion statement. Well, my recommendation would be to wear them under your clothing to preserve value and appreciation for the traditional purpose.
Waist beads can be made of bone beads, shells, gemstones, glass beads, clay beads, pearls, brass beads, charms or a combination of them all to symbolize a woman or girls status in life. They should be worn below the belly and can be a single or multiple strands. There is no age limit for women who can wear them nor is there a size limit. All my waist beads wear created in Africa with love. They come in different sizes, and can be fitted just for your fabulous body.
