On camp(NYSC), a girl was upset by my waist chain and told me it's wrong. If one can wear chains and beads on the neck, wrists, ears and ankles, what's wrong with the waist?

I'm female and my guy just loves the stuff on me.

Aint nuffin wrong with waist beads or chain, like the saying goes on mans meat is anothers poison so, people  always fear what they do not know.

African women have worn waist beads for ages, and  would continue to wear them, they have various uses and meaning to the  different  tribes in Africa.

i also dont know what waist beads are meant for,my mum has it for a long time and i have been wondering why she has that thing on for a long time.
my friend gave me one but i dont use it cuz i still dont know the meaning of that.
but i have a body chain so i wonder if they are the same.

I dunno wuts wrong with it either jare.

Nothing wrong with it
when i was young i used towear one on my ankle , till my fathers sister told him only prostitutes do that.
After that faithful day i just waited till i steped out of the house to put it on.
People will always talk even about the kind of earring you wear.

Waist beads are the thing now, a couple of my friends wear them, they claim it brings out your figure and booty. Personally, i can't wear them!!!

If there's nuttin wrong with it, whats right with it? It enhances nuttin, anyone dat says it brings out booty and figure is just makin lame reasons. Vanity

there is nothing wrong with it. i think its kinda seeeexxxxxyyyyyy cooooooooollll!

Waist beads are ok, provided that they can be removed when circumstances recommend their removal.

waist band is a trend in town, so girls if u love it then wear it. it's ur body, be trendy, be cool n be urself, funny enough i dont wear them but i do admire them .

some cultures in Africa and many indian women use it as a tool to know when they are putting on weight. the tightier the beads become, you instantly know to slow down on the eating. I think it is genius cos sometime we pile on the pounds and then one day bang you dont recognise who is starring you in the mirror.

weird I was told it was a sign by young woman to show "potential mates" their fertility.

TOH
many cultures use the beads than you know, and for many many reasons. the one u stated i have heard of .

there is nothing wrong with it al all
infact i use them.
it make u look sexy

Not into it. The only jewelry I prefer is earring

Almost all infants (both boys and girls) in India get their gold/silver waist chains on the 28th day (after the birth) when the parents name the child, and although some children may take it off some time before they become adults, most women and some men will continue to wear it (depending on which region they live) even as adults. You can buy gold and silver waist chains for both men and women in any jewelry shop in India. Many carvings and sculptures in India show both men and women with waist chains and anklets, etc., seems such a fashion was also common in Ancient India. Also for example, people in Maldives (again both men and women) wear silver waist chains. Wearing waist chains is well accepted (and like in Maldives, it is expected) in many cultures.

i love them beads on the waist.gets my heart pumping and really turns me on

it's part of our culture for women to wear jigida or esuru on their waists. so what is repulsive about wearing them. haba

well we all have different hobbies, what i want/like may be different from another person else, as for me i like wearing beads on my hear, hand and neck but i don't and will never wear it on my waist.

I love beads, head, neck, waist, legs everywhere. I dont think anybody can convince me its wrong.

I love them beads. That stuff is kinda cool esp. when you are doing grown up stuff.

It's a turn on for me.

Aren't beads part of Naija culture. . .

From my house in naija. . . beads are very important part of our fashion. . . we have to, have to wear the beads during a celebration . . .my grandma always pestering me to wear it. . .ile oba

huh? abeg which century are you from?

waist beads are gorgeous

I think they are just lovely,makes a woman damn sexy!!

everything's wrong with it especially when its the locally made ones.

Some believe the use of waist bead is related to science, you know, some fetish reason . A friend of mine couldnt penetrate a lady until he removed the bead, i also heard a guys thing never came up as long as the bead was on.

since then i have avoided girls that used it, cos i know its possible in nigeria.
