Why Waist Beads?

What are waist beads?

Waist beads are a popular accessory in many African cultures, including Ghana, where they are often worn as symbols of femininity, fertility, and sensuality. Apart from being culturally important, waist beads also have practical uses like helping with weight management and correcting posture.

At TÒMA LINA, we take pride in offering high-quality, handmade waist beads from Ghana which are both beautiful and functional. Our beads come in different styles and colors, each with its own unique meaning and symbolism.

We believe that every woman deserves to feel beautiful and empowered and our waist beads are designed to do just that. So why wait? Order your own waist beads today and experience the beauty and power of this timeless accessory for yourself!

Who can wear waist beads? 

TÒMA LINA is an inclusive brand welcoming all identities. Many people think only African women can wear waist beads, but that's not true. Our mission is to empower women from diverse backgrounds through self-love and setting intentions to achieve their goals.

Permanent tie-on Waist Beads

Waist beads are typically permanent. This means that there is no clasp attached to put the waist bead off. Traditional waist beads are designed to stay on your body 24/7 until they break or you choose to remove them permanently by cutting them off. 

We offer traditional tie-on waist beads. These beads are made to last as a permanent addition to your style and come in different styles and colors. You can wear them while showering, bathing, swimming, name any activity! Just remember to tie them properly for a secure fit. Read more about how to tie traditional waist beads.

Removable Waist Beads

Our permanent tie-on waist beads are an exciting option for manifestation, setting intentions and growth. We understand that some customers may still prefer a removable option, which is why we've created an option for a custom-made removable waist bead with a screw clasp, based on your size.

At TÒMA LINA, we bring the best of both worlds with our permanent tie-on and custom-made removable waist beads ;-)
