Maryam’s Essential Mini Rice Waist Beads

Material: Mini Rice Waist Beads

Waist beads have been worn for centuries by women in Nigeria. In more recent years they’ve gained popularity among women in the West.

To many waist beads are a symbol and celebration of womanhood - sexuality, femininity, spirituality, healing, fertility, body shaping, first menses, protection, seduction, and wealth, amongst other things.

To others waist beads are commonly used to gauge changes in weight. Rather than step on a scale, people can use waist beads to stay aware of any weight gain or loss in the abdomen.

 Waist beads don’t stretch. If you were to gain weight, the beads will sit higher on the waist or feel tight. Conversely, if you were to lose weight, the beads will feel loose and fall further down to the hips.

Unlike the numbers on a scale, waist beads are more compatible with body positivity. Women of all sizes and shapes can comfortably wear waist beads to adorn their body.
