Not too sure about waistbead sizing?

Or what bead size you would like? Look here for more information.

All waistbeads are handmade and can take up to 2 weeks to make, depending on he amount of ongoing orders. Please keep this in mind when ordering. 

How to measure your waist

Don’t know your size and can’t get a measurement? 

I would suggest getting threaded beads as you can tie them where you would like them to sit in your waist. These are also the most secure waistbeads as once you tie them on… they’re not gonna come off! (Unless of course you wish to cut them off and get some more!) 

Beads Vs Microbeads

For all waistbeads I use 4mm-sized beads, but for microbeads, I use 2mm beads. Here’s an image for reference: 

FAQ'S

1) How do I order beads without knowing my size or a tape measure?

If you don't have a tape measure on hand, it's best to use your jean/ bottoms size e.g, (UK size 10, 12 etc.) 

2) I've never had waistbeads before. How many waistbeads is a good amount? 

Waistbeads are always better together, so for a first-time wearer, I would recommend 2 or 3 to start. And I would recommend waistbeads with clasps as you can take them off easier and it's good for occasional or seasonal wear.

3) I feel like I need to lose weight before getting waistbeads. Can I still wear them?

Of course! Waistbeads are for all body types. Traditional waistbeads are also a great way to track weight loss or gain!

4) I have quite an active lifestyle. Are waistbeads durable?

Honestly, this is down to the wearer; the most secure waistbeads are threaded as they are tied onto the body, so as long as they are tied tightly and correctly, you should be fine! However, remember that waistbeads are made from cotton thread and glass beads so they are not invincible!
