History of Waistbeads
Waistbeads can date back to some ancient African cultures. It is said that they were made popular by the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria. They are worn to show spirituality, fertility, femininity, protection and status. The women of Ghana are given the waist beads at birth and are worn throughout womanhood. Waist beads are also worn to control weight, when the waist beads roll up it indicates weight gain and when they roll down it indicates weight loss. They can be used to attract men and as lingerie for your husband. Waist beads that have healing crystals and certain charms can be used as protection, along with other properties that the healing crystals possess.

How to measure your waist.
Step 1: Gather what you'll need:
- Tape measure (use fabric measuring tape) or download a pdf version here.
- Pen/Pencil
- Paper to record your measurements
Step 2: Recognize where you want you beads to fall.

Step 3: Remove or raise any layers of clothing blocking your waist. Use a tape measure and measure against your bare skin without sucking in your stomach. You shouldn't hold the tape loose nor too snug.
Step 4: Take your measurement. Stand up straight, hold the tape measure behind you, and bring it around your waist to meet at your navel. The tape should be parallel to the floor and fit snugly around your torso without digging into your skin. Remember (Step 2) to measure the correct part of your waist. Where would you like your waistbeads to hang?

Step 6: Double-check your measurement. Repeat the measurement once more to ensure the accuracy of your original measurement. If numbers don't match, measure again.
