"Waists beads are good and they are used for fashion and also not for fashion, because when someone newly gives birth to a child they put a waist bead on the child's waist so as to monitor the weight and growth of the baby. If the child loses weight the waist bead hangs loosely and if the child is gaining weight the waist beads firm and tighten around the waist."

"The use of waist beads as a form of contraception has only cultural value, it has not been verified to be efficacious in preventing conception. Reason is simply because it does not have any hormonal impregnation inside neither does it serve as a barrier method and as such there is just no possible or explainable way that it can be used as a contraception."
