What's the difference?
The Elastic Style: Our waist beads are strung together on sturdy elastic cord. Choose this option if you just want to wear the beads a few times, maybe on vacation, a party or a special occasion. The elasticity will eventually loose it's strength which makes this our least long lasting version, it's also our less expensive style. Most solid colors are made in this style. If you choose this style, be aware that they stretch but can break if you stretch too much!
The Barrel Style: Choose this option if you like to switch it up a bit. You can take this style off by simply untwisitng the closure. Make sure you follow the care instructions to keep it lasting long. This style is not flexible, there is no give as there is with the elastic style so be sure to measure yourself correctly. For longevity take off when showering/bathing and keep oils and lotion at a distance.
The Threaded(Tie on) Style: With this option our waist beads are threaded on durable cotton thread. You'll need to tie this around your waist. It is our more permanent style and is meant not to come off. It can also be used with weight loss. As you loose weight the beads will loosen, at that point you can slide the extra beads off and retie at your new weight. This is the longest lasting style.
