  • Can I shower, bathe, swim and sleep in my jewelry?
    While our materials are durable and made to last, be cautious about which crystals you purchase as some are not water safe. Please research the crystals you're interested to make sure they can be exposed to water without issue if you plan on keeping them on at all times. Luster of the jewelry lasts longer when not exposed to hard or chlorinated water, chemicals and oils.
  • How do I measure for and choose the right size belly crystals?
    Before placing any order for belly crystals, it is recommended that you use a measuring tape to ensure you are choosing the proper length. If measuring tape is not available, you could also use string and a ruler. Do's *Do measure around the place where you want your belly crystals to rest on your body. *Do keep in mind the method you are choosing for the closure as this will also have an effect on the length of your belly crystals. *Do determine whether you will be using your belly crystals as a tool for weight loss or waist management so that you choose the appropriate length for your current size as well as your goal. For this, the adjustable 6 inch chain option is recommended. *Do remember, measure twice, cut once! Don'ts *Do not measure over clothing as they can lessen the accuracy of your measurement. *Do not suck in your belly or lie down while you are taking the measurement. *Do not measure to tightly around your belly so that you don't order a size smaller than you need as sitting and eating changes the circumference of your belly and may cause the crystals to pop. You don't have to be a size 2 to wear belly crystals. Women of all shapes and sizes can wear them. Whether you are accentuating your waistline, tracking weight loss progress, displaying your personal style, creating an intimate secret, or wanting to embrace and honor your feminity, belly crystals are the perfect addition to the body you have.
  • How do I measure when planning to lose weight?
    First measure yourself where you want the crystals to rest on your body for the most accurate sizing. For weight loss, it’s best to take the measurement and subtract about 4-5 inches and add a 6 inch chain extender. If more weight is expected to be lost, than subtract 10-11 inches from the size and add a 12 inch chain extender. Example: If you were to measure at a 43, you would subtract the 4-5 inches to 39/38 (sizes run in a 3 inch range so you would choose a 36-39). Adding the 6 inch extender would make the adjustable range from 36 to 45 enabling you to adjust down as you lose weight.
  • How do I measure for pregnancy?
    First measure yourself where you want the crystals to rest on your body for the most accurate sizing. For pregnancy, the clasp closure is recommended so that you can add a chain extender. Use your current measurement so that you may keep your crystals postpartum and adjust back down as your womb shrinks.

  • My belly crystals popped. Do you offer repairs or do I have to purchase a new set?
    Whether you choose to purchase new crystals is completely up to you. If you bought crystals for their energy, sometimes they pop because they have served their purpose and are no longer needed. However, we do offer repairs for a small fee. Visit the Store Policy page for instructions. Select the appropriate option in the drop down menu of the listing.
  • I've made a mistake in choosing my size and now my crystals don't fit. Can the belly crystals be adjusted?
    For traditional tie-on belly crystals, if they are too big, its just a matter of sliding the extra beads to the end of the string before tying and cutting the excess off. For any other sizing issue or wanted alteration like changing the closure, access the Store Policy for instructions.
  • How do I wear my belly crystals?
    Where you place your belly crystals on your body is a matter of what is the most comfortable for you. A lot of women prefer to wear their crystals around their pantyline but you can wear them right around the waist, navel or on the hip. Just be cautious when pull off clothing.
  • Can babies and children wear belly crystals?
    Yes they can. In fact, in Ghana, babies receive their first belly beads during naming ceremonies and young ladies in Congolese and Yoruba traditions are given beads by their elders as a rite of passage into womanhood (sometimes around their first menstrual cycle). Bless Your Belly offers belly crystals for your princesses and queens in training.
  • How do I tie on my belly crystals?
    Firstly, wrap the entire strand of crystals around the part of your body you want them to rest. Depending on how you measure, you may have extra beads that need to be removed. Before knotting, cross the strands where you plan to tie and slide any excess beads to the end of the string (at the big end beads). Do NOT cut them off yet. Now you can tie about 4 knots to secure the crystals in place. We strongly recommend at least 2 surgeon's knots. After you're done tying, you can cut the string and any remaining beads off. Some also choose to carefully burn the ends after knotting for a more secure hold. It is sometimes helpful (and also a bonding experience) if you can have someone assist in tying your crystals for you.
