Phases 》Waist Beads

In order to get the most accurate measurement, measure your waist when you are not bloated or measure on an empty stomach.

Take a tape measure and wrap it around the exact area you would like for your waist beads to fall. Ensure that the tape measure is not drooping in the back but even at the same level all around.

Keep your belly in its relaxed and natural posture (i.e. do not suck in your belly unless it is your natural posture nor intentionally extend it unless that is your natural posture.)

The tape measure should not make an imprint into your skin, if it does you are wrapping it too tightly and that will result in waist beads that are too tight.

Once you take your reading, if you find that you are between two inches feel free to request your beads to be made a half inch bigger than the size you selected example 30.5" instead of 30" or 31". If you would rather them be made to a whole number you may round the measurement up to the next inch.

Keep in mind that when you experience bloating your beads will roll up, so you preferably want to measure in an area that gives your beads space to move up when things get too tight.

My personal favorite area to wear my beads is under my belly button. I find this area to be the most comfortable and the least impacted by my bloating, however this may be different for different bodies.

Your beads will, by default, include a 2" extension chain. This means that whatever size you select you will be able to adjust your beads up to 2" bigger. I've added this as both a safety (in case you order too small) as well as a way to keep your beads comfortable as your belly fluctuates (from eating, hormones, etc.)
