ELASTIC THREAD: !!!!!DO NOT CUT!!!!! To keep your waist beads beautiful and functional longer, here are some simple wear-and-care instructions: -Elastic, does stretch; however, please do not overstretch or they will lose their elasticity. -To put them on, step into them feet first, and gently raise them over your legs and hips to sit at your waist. -You can leave the waist beads on all the time, even in bath or shower! Water does not damage them.

Wholesale availability

Wholesale is available. Just inquire!

Use MEASURING TAPE if possible. Get a bra fitting at your local mall. Ask the clerk to do your hip and waist measurements as well.

The way to watch weight loss is by letting the strands slip from waist to hips. (Which will naturally occur as you begin to lose weight). It's recommended to order waist beads at your waist size (approximately 2 inches above your belly button). As you begin to lose weight the strands will begin to slip towards your hips. Once the beads fall below your belly button you most likely have hit your weight goal including a loss of inches on your waist. (And have a cute belly accessory that stayed with you throughout your journey !!) Also, the beads help you know if you've stuffed your face too much. As your belly expands and so do your bead strands.

STRING THREAD: Please be aware these are permanent! -Wrap bead strand around desired area (Hips or waist) -Be sure to leave room to move freely (Never make strand too tight) -Remove any excess beads (if needed) -Tie and knot cotton thread -Cut off excess thread. -Beads can be worn at all times even in water. -This style is great for those who are not sure what size to get, those looking for traditional waist beads and pear shaped figures.

WIRE THREAD WITH CLOSURES: Wear-and-care is dependent on the wearer. Be gentle to them and they’ll last longer. They are made with a stretchy wire thread that is very durable. Be sure to measure to ensure an accurate fit. -You can leave the waist beads on at all times, even in water. -Bead size is 10mm with 11mm double barrel twist clasp. Very small and discreet. Generally not visible under clothing. -These are great for those who like to take their beads off often or for pear figures.

Influenced by Cultures offers many materials for waist beads. Choose from tie-on, which are made with cotton string. The most popular sold are the elastic threading which come with clasp or no clasp. Each have the same durability. Material and longevity are is just up to the wearer.
