Waist beads are body adornments made of beads on a string, worn around the waist or hips. They can symbolize femininity, spirituality, body awareness, or personal milestones and are also used for fashion, weight tracking, self-expression and many more.

We recommend measuring your waist or high hips (depending on where you’d like to wear the beads) with a soft measuring tape. Wrap the tape snugly but not too tight and measure in inches. You can find our size guide on any product page.

We offer both clasped (removable) and tie-on (permanent) waist beads. Removable waist beads come with clasps, while tie-on strands are knotted to fit and stay on until intentionally removed or cut.

Yes, our tie-on waist beads are designed to be worn 24/7, including in water. Just avoid excessive tugging or harsh chemicals, as these may weaken the thread over time.
