Hello Loves! this is a crucial step. Please read before ordering waist beads.
Our suggested preference: waist beads are traditionally worn loosely between the upper hip and lower navel area. This ensures a comfortable fit after eating and during day to day activities. Based upon height, this can be perhaps anywhere from a half an inch to about three or more inches downward.

Additional notes on the wearing of waist beads
Although the Veda Bead gave reference to traditional wear above, different women have preferences. Just take into consideration a few things. How often will you be wearing your beads, is it for a day, will it be kept on while eating? Take into consideration that ones stomach expands during the day and is smaller in the mornings. To ensure a comfortable everyday wear, it is best to take the traditional route. Understand that if your bead is too tight or placed too high up on the torso, there will be no room left after eating, which will not ensure a twenty for hours comfortable fit.
Suggestions, for very slim females I would suggest that if you are a very slim female or one who has less fat on the hip bone area, that your beads be worn at least a half inch above the bone so as not to feel it or that you get a very loose fitting bead that won't disrupt the bone area.
***With your personal preference: Please make sure to test your measurements at home before your purchase as there are no returns on such personal items. Understand, each product will have a life span of its own based upon how it is worn. However, at Veda Bead, we do our best to make ensure that our product does not break. If any queries should arise after purchase, feel free to contact us. And we are most certainly here to answer all questions before purchasing.

YOU WILL DO A STRING TEST .
Make sure to have scissors on hand.
Read directions thoroughly before proceeding.
Measuring tape:
- When using a measuring tape for your desired size, measure and then record your findings.
- Don't measure tightly. At least have four millimeters spacing left.
- Test out your measurement by now getting a piece of durable thread or yarn.
- Cut to size one that is at least four inches larger than the recorded measurement.
- Mark your actual size or place a temp knot at your actual size on the string (one tiny permanent knot on the right another knot on the left) so that you will know where to tie the temporary and sturdy bow with enough room left at both ends.
- Place the string on your waist and tie where the permanent knots are. Tie a sturdy temporary bow.
- Note: Once tied, you now test out the fit by wearing for a few minutes or more. This should include sitting, standing, and even bending to see what is most comfortable for you. Do not be hasty, now, double check! Veda bead can not take back this personal item.
Rulers:
- If you only have a ruler, you will first measure by placing a durable string, yarn, or thread, or around your waist (use a petite belt only if no string like or cloth like material is found)
- Tie a temporary bow to hold the makeshift waist bead in place.
- Make sure that you have at least two inches on each side of the string to tie this bow.
- Note: Once tied, you will now test out the fit by wearing for a few minutes or more. This should include sitting, standing, and even bending to see what is most comfortable for you.
- Now remove your makeshift waist bead by clipping at the the ending of the knot and not cutting the bow. NOTE! clipping only directly to the right or left of the temporary bow next to the knot so that you keep the bow intact and only obtain the size of the string that you were wearing.
- You will now be able to measure from the beginning to the end of the string that went around your waist to record your size.
- Do not be hasty, now, double check! Veda bead can not take back this personal item.
