The materials we use for our belly beads are delicate and very feminine. Each bead string is adjustable, for different waist sizes and use under or over clothes. Belly beads can be worn with a bathing suit, over a long plain dress, over a skirt, on a bare, exposed midriff, for belly dancing and with sensual lingery and burlesque outfits. Some bead strings are designed to have detachable "scallops" of bronze chain and glass beads, hanging over the sensual curves of the hips and buttocks, for lovely accentuation of those luscious areas.

Some background on belly beads:
Traditionally: The sacred women’s practice of wearing belly beads date back as far as ancient Egypt, where paintings of dancers wearing the beads appear on tomb walls, with belly beads signifying status. In other parts of Africa, historians posit that the tradition of waist beads has been around at least since the 15th century and may have originated among the Yoruba tribes, now practiced mainly in Nigeria and in West Africa, notably Ghana. In these and other indigenous cultures, coming-of-age girls would receive their first set of belly beads from their mothers, upon the arrival of their first bleed, marking a beautiful rite of passage into womanhood. Other uses of these beads, which are typically worn at all times (even while bathing or sleeping), include gifting to young women about to marry or birth a baby, or wearing the beads while pregnant, or, specifically in the Zambezi region of Namibia, as well as in Malawi, Zambia and other parts of Angola and Zimbabwe, the beads are used to entice husbands. Senegalese and Yoruban women, in particular, heightened their allure with the gentle clicking of sweetly perfumed tiny bead strands worn around the waist underneath their clothing. Belly beads also serve as symbols of sensuality, fertility, initiation femininity, maturity, protection and sensuality. Waist beads are also found in other cultures, and while African and Islamic women typically keep them under wraps and private, only for chosen partners to see, some display the beads over their clothes or on bare midriffs, such as belly dancers in Eastern cultures.Purpose and uses: Adorning your waist and hips with beads help you to drop in and check in with your womb, staying "womb conscious" throughout the day, as the beads making contact with your skin always brings your awareness down to your womb space in a very subtle but profound way. When using seeds, shells, crystals or semi-precious beads, it brings an additional dimension to womb consciousness by way of the properties that the specific stone or seed has. Waist beads can also be used to symbolize the start of a new journey or a promise that you make to yourself. Women who wear waist beads for ceremonial purposes will choose a strand that resonates with the event and imbue it with their specific intentions. However a woman chooses to wear her beads, they help to connect with, and enhance her sensuality or sexuality as they possess intimate appeal and can provoke desire. Women can lure their lovers with the rattle of beads or bells, or use them as a means to communicate their fertility at certain times of the month.
