A Mawashi Belt is the traditional garb of Sumo Wrestlers, and they traditionally do not wash their belts. However, fashioning such a belt for personal use is easy enough: Obtain ten yards of plain fabric, and pull one end tight but comfortable between the legs. Wrap the remainder around the waist repeatedly until there is nothing left.
