Beads are usually small round
pieces of pierced glass, wood or
metal strung together to serve as
adornment for the waist, neck or
ankle beads. Waist Beads are
common with females and they
are an excellent tool for women
to feel more feminine and
beautiful. These beautiful
gemstone waist beads are hand
made and customized. The
tradition of wearing beads is an
age long one, from time
immemorial; it has been worn for
varying reasons by the royalty,
for body adornment, deification
and decoration. The wearing of
beads on the waist was made
popular by the Yorubas in Nigeria.
Overtime the culture of the use
of beads has been associated
with both spiritual and material
reasons. In some parts of Africa,
the beads are anointed in oils and
the woman stands over a smoked
pot and commences to ‘smoke
her self’. This practice aids in
sensory pleasure for the man.
Some beads are adorned with
bells, which is a signal to let the
man know that the woman wants
to engage in se.xual intercourse.
The Yorubas have a revered
usage attached to the waist
beads. It is also worn as a form
of birth control, as a way of
preventing obesity or also
for their ‘healing’ and therapeutic
powers. They refer to the waist
bead as ILEKE or LAGIDIGBA is
made of palm nut shells string
together, while the ‘bebe’ which is
also worn around the waist is
made of glass. The Yorubas have
a belief that the waist beads
possess some erotic appeal and
have the power to incite desire or
deep emotional response on men.
Waist Beads in Yoruba are also
used for birth control, the beads
are laced with charms and worn
by the women to prevent
conception and were also around
the waist of baby girls to
perfectly shape her buttocks.
Gone are the days when beads
have been thought to be worn by
‘UNSOPHISTICATED’, forward or
slutty women alone, also different
stories abound on the usage of
waist beads by ladies and some
men who believe they are infused
or laced with charms or Juju or
Juju will never touch a woman
wearing beads with a 10 foot pole
for the fear of falling under the
supposed spell of such women.
For a while, waist beads almost
went into extinction but now the
re emergence of beads has added
a new dimension into the craze
among Nigerian Ladies. While
some men ablor it, some request
their partners get them as it
makes them more sensual and
attractive.
