Baby Wearing General Chatter #2

I'm not certain about the jades, as I've not owned one. Maybe thin-medium thickness, somewhat stretchy and fairly grippy. (By stretchy, I mean a bit of bouncy-give, rather than sitting solid and unmoving, and by grippy I mean as opposed to being slidey or slippy).
IT's ok as a shortie - though I found it not quite supportive enough, I think I prefer something with less 'give' in a shortie. The grippiness I don't like in a long wrap. I'm a bit fussy. I've tried too many wraps now!
This probably makes no sense to you at all! I remember reading stuff like this about 9 months ago and thinking WTF are they on about and do they not realise it's just a bit of cloth?!

I think they're a good wrap, actually, based on views of many, many others.

I prefer a gira to a jade. It's a grippiness thing for me too, although I'm not much of a wrapper these days!

Got a RS today! Love it, so easy over the bump, glad I did it. My last RS-owning experience was a Breeze, and I thought I hated RSs, but tried a friends Sweet Pea Sling, and thought I should give it another go.

My first RS was a breeze too, boy was that a mistake! I can see how they'd work for in the water or with a smallish bub if you knew what you were doing but at the time I wasn't confident with one and my boy is a bit of a boof. I have a gira RS now that I adore, it's so easy to use and cushy :)

I'm thinking about fish. Now that I've sold my Melody, I'm contemplating something for a summer ruck wrap...

fish are my favourite critters

I mentioned nebbia, right? If you can get it the right length to do ruck or dh, it's perfect. It's great for either carry and very supportive.

Mad, because I'm fairly new to wovens, what would you suggest I try for a warm weather wrap, mainly back carry. Ds is just under 8kg now so I'm guessing we will be around 10 when summer comes.

Loulabelle - Jim Salvia is the best wrap, it's thin, suitable for warmer weather .. Some people complain that it's diggy, but I don't find that at all.. I haven't tried many other wraps though to compare..

I did THE BEST DH wrap job today! I've had trouble getting the hang of it, I can't seem to get the chest bit tight enough, but today was awesome! I did it in from of a mirror though, in the baby change room, so I cheated a bit lol

ETA: I'll check that out TC.. thanks :)

Thanks, bal. I'll look into than one. :)

well nebbia, or ellevill karma for a versatile wrap.
otherwise it depends whether you want to do single or multi-layer carries? The vatanai jacquards are good value and pretty comfy in multilayers. maybe ok in single, too, depending on the wrap.

In liking the look of both of them! I've only used long wraps. I'm wanting it mainly for single layer, would a 3,7m be enough?

I will admit I'm being sorely tempted by both a nebbia and a caribe - but they're both 6's and I'm not sure I'm keen on buying one only to chop it down to a shorter size. Though that said, I've seen some people do some pretty funky things with the leftovers. Argh, decisions!

I'm also probably not thinking all that clearly at the moment, Alex is teething so we've had a bit of a rough week :(

I'm not a Gira fan either, but i've only tried one. Too thick for my liking, as in not slippy enough for tying. MadB - the Jade is thinner but has similar wrapping qualities to the Karma. I do love all the Ellevills I've tried though.

T - try putting some of the fabric that's hanging down over the rings to cushion. That's what I do. DD2 likes to suck on them here. :rolleyes:

I think I may have found my ISO (Natibaby Crimson Silk Linden). Soooo excited! Offloading a sz 4 Didy to make room for it.

I think my Diva Milano is my favourite to wrap with.

What didy are you offloading Jen? Or I'd it already sold?

has anybody got/used a carrier from two mommas designs? I'm thinking of getting a HB through them (not a WC) just as a cheaper option for now until I get an expensive wc custom (in a few years...if then)
Thanks Jen - that is a good idea

nope. maybe ask on fb?

Oooo, what are you maybe offloading? *skark skark*

So Im getting ready to invest in a didymos Lena..thoughts? Anyone use didymos in here?

Sure, there are gazillions of Didymos designs :) Not familiar with Lena
