I love my new wrap! Chimparoo Iris size 6. It is thin without being stretchy. They estimated that it could be here as late as April 8th and it arrived today.
I returned the wrap I borrowed from the BWI lending library and am trying out a mei tei this month. I wore DD2 for two hours to walk to the park for an Easter egg hunt and she slept the whole time! I think I found my new favorite.
As much I wanted to love wrapping, it just isn't for me. I don't have the time to devote to learning and it was too cumbersome.
OMG, mandy522! Every new babywearing group I request to join on FB, there you are!!! it.
I've gotten completely carried away. I browse to stay awake while nursing and it turns out I have no self control at 4 am. I just joined a temp trade group so that I can try all the wraps without getting a second job.
Speaking of if anyone ever sees a BHP (black hemp pfau) in a 5 or 6 or mystic Fische in anything but a 7 send out the bat signal. Pretty please
So I'm pretty sure I have a mystic Fische that is a 3 or 4 that I'm planning to sell. I never reach for it and just haven't gotten around to listing it on the swap. I can send pics if you want. It's the 50/50 cotton linen 2012 release. I can double check the size too. I bought it a couple of years ago so that why I can't remember the details!

Zomg get out of town. Please send pics! 50/50 is the one I'm looking for and a 3 or 4 is perfect!
I feel like absolute crap today and this totally made my day :-)

It's in the room with my sleeping toddler so I will send pics in the morning.
I finally tried the secure high back carry. It was pretty easy and secure for my first time. He could be higher, though. I'm excited to show off my new wrap at the BWI meeting tomorrow!
But then, sometimes playing with the Tekhni is more fun than being wrapped in it!
How do you like that wrap? Is it repreve? I tried an Olympos RS today at the babywearing meeting and fell in love. I need to try all things tekhni now!
There's an Indio Papaya size 1 (91 1/4" STIH) available for $90, my ISO. Paging mandy522 , pineapplesmoothie and tngrl3 . What can I do with a size 1? Worth a shot?
Maybe a rebozo? Make it a ring sling? Get it comverted to a mei tai or onbu? It'd be pretty limited.
Definitely rebozo and no sew ring sling, probably Ruck under bum, I think torso carry can be done with a super shorty. If you only want one shorty, I probably wouldn't get a 1. Although to be honest, I'm kind of meh about my 2, because I really can't do a whole lot more than that, but I end up with really long tails - I almost wish it was a 1. But I also have a couple 3s that are great for a lot of other short carries, so I'm covered either way.
The answer is obviously that you need both a 1 and a 3

What size is a 1?I just bought a 90" RS piece, is that a 1?

That's basically a 1. I think size 2 starts at 100"?
We just got this new Lenny Lamb wrap in the mail. It's gorgeous but it's way thicker/more blankety than we were thinking.
We ordered it because the dandelions are a symbol of infertility and the butterflies are a symbol of infant loss. (I mean, I doubt that's why they put them in this wrap but that's why we were drawn to this wrap.)
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.
mandy522 just bought this pretty ring sling piece. I'm thinking bronze rings and an eesti shoulder. It's on its way to SBP now.
Blues is so pretty! That's going to make an awesome sling. I always thought it read kind of silvery but it's actually natty - the bronze will look fantastic!
mandy522 No and I'm dying! I have gone churn crazy and the stuff I'm getting in is traveling in super slow motion! I have the wrap onbu coming from Madame googoo in the Girasol Zunil, then I have the didy Indio hemp blues ring sling coming and then a Girasol rainbow ring sling coming from Zanytoes-buying new because I wanted exactly a wrap weft and ring color plus shoulder that I wanted and it wasn't coming up on the swap. I found it new for $99 at zanytoes, but I have to wait the two weeks for it to be sewn. Same with the didy, Sleeping baby productions Jan went away to some sewing event and my wrap in in her queue for when she returns.
The madame googoo is coming from Poland and they told me they got my wrap last week and my conversion should take maybe 2 weeks and then shipping back from Poland takes like 2 weeks.
The I have a Girasol preorder that I have to wait for until June!
I'm down to almost nothing! However I am proud of myself that I didn't add paypal for anything. I went from 10 wraps/carriers down to 3 in my possession and 4 on the way. I sold cheaper things and bought more expensive things, so I'm happy I didn't spend more actual money other than paypal.
I can't wait to hear about your Madame Googoo! Everything else too, but that one in particular. I''m doing a lot of research on the conversions and I'm having a hard time deciding between MGG, Bella Bonilla and Talullah. I think I would like 2Lambie tha best but haha, never gonna happen. Good for you for not adding PP, I'm trying to do the same. I think I'm really stashed well for summer, and have a few wraps to sell but really want to wait until the fall because I think they will be in higher demand then, so I'm going to show some restraint for the next few months. Hopefully.
mandy522 so all said and done, I have $215 in the onbu. $50 for the wrap, $22 to mail my wrap to Poland, $127 for the conversion, $16 to mail it back to me.
I went with: 15x15 Curved straps Wrap chest buckle Wrap pfas 12"-16" adjustable straps Option B, all wrap visable, but canvas inside the panel Ladder locks on straps as opposed to buckles at the end of the straps Headrest No hood
The wrap chest buckle is the biggest plus to me for MGG - no one else seems to do them! And I hate nylon webbing.
