Before we go get these waistbeads let's look into where they come from. Waistbeads have traditionally been worn by African women since about the 15th century to serve many celebratory purposes. In Africa the beads are rarely a simple ornament; beads are worn visibly yet perceptible signal to a husband or lover. In some parts of Africa, the beads are anointed in oils. The Yorubas believe it is to be worn as a form of birth control, as a way of preventing obesity, or for their healing and therapeutic powers.
As far as waistbeads for a sexual purpose, some beads are adorned with bells, which is a signal to let a man know that the woman wants to engage in sexual intercourse. Some women lace their beads with charms and fragrances that is said to make them irresistible to men. A few even believe that if a woman wears waistbeads and is good is bed her man will never leave because it has the ability to stir deep erotic feelings in men. So this is where they have officially got me, I'm sold!!!
They can help with weight?!? Many women use waistbeads to control their weight gain. The beads are used to remind them and act as a tracker for your body which helps you. If you lose weight, the beads on your waist will roll lower, and if you gain weight, they will become tighter or higher. I haven't seen any negative, seems like a win-win and AGAIN I'm sold.
Today waistbeads are worn by women of every culture for healing purposes, decorative adornment, feminine empowerment, confidence building, sensuality, weight loss tracking. They are usually made to fit and are not to be taken on/off. There is a 'waistbeads tying ceremony'. Now we just have to choose a color and find which black-owned business to get them from!
