WYAINUTLAAT50 Inch Waist Beads for Women African Waist Beads Plus Size Layered Colorful Belly Beads Body Jewelry Non-Stretching Belly Chains4PCS)

Had it on for several months it’s just now starting to stretch but it definitely worth the buy.

Excellent quality and colors

I was obsessed with my beads for like a week then the paint started coming off the beads so I wouldn’t recommend for that reason but I love them still just wish the color didn’t fade or scratch off

Yeah... I did a lot of research on waist beads before purchasing.Some people use an elastic string to make theirs, and that is far from traditional. It also defeats the traditional purpose of African waist beads, which is to watch your weight, or track weight loss. If it's elastic, then it's just for show and doesn't serve it's purpose.This has good string, several strings for one waist bead, so it's strong. I didn't want to waste any of the beading, so the excess beads was cut off and used to tie around my ankles and also tie around my toes. Looks nice.I just didn't want to waste the beads.Anyways, I've showered and went to the beach in these beads. I tied two waist beads so far. One is my accountability beads. I haven't put on the red beads yet to be able to tell if you If the red color stains or not. So far no issues.The string melts with fire, so it's easy to deal the beads once you tie them on. Run a flame over the knot and twist! Just like you seal the ends of your braids with fire.

i love the beads, but my packaging was horrible. it was taped closed and the bottom of it was broken open and taped closed as well. one of the strings were not secured meaning it wasn’t tied off like the other two and i was okay with it because they are so pretty. it wasn’t until i had already put them on before i realized i only received 3 strings instead of 4, so i cannot return since they’re on me. nice product but sucks that i didn’t exactly get what i paid for.
