WAIST BEADS: are small glass beads on a string worn around the waist. Traditionally, amongst West Africans, waist beads are a symbol of femininity, fertility, sensuality, and spiritual well-being. The variety of waist beads are endless. Additionally, waist beads do not traditionally stretch so they can be used as a measurement tool to gage weight gain or loss based on how tight they feel. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUWwcCooRf4/?utm_medium=tumblr
