Didymos Flora

By
Brand Name: Didymos

Wrap Name: Flora

Reviewed by: Brittany Marsh

Size of Wrap: 5

Fabric Content: 100% cotton



How long has this wrap been used by you?
One week

What size is the wrappee?
8 months, 25 inches, 19 lbs

What is the thickness of this wrap?
I've felt thinner, but it is not quite medium.

Does it have cush?
It does!  It molds perfectly to my body and feels extremely comfortable on me from all angles.

How does it feel on your shoulders?
It was very comfortable, and not diggy at all.  I can imagine it feeling a little diggy if she were maybe 10lbs heavier.

How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have?
It has a great amount of stretch!  Not ace-bandage like, but close.

How supportive did you find it in a single layer carry?
I found it to be more supportive than I expected!  I could comfortably do a front wrap cross carry tied under bum and felt certain that Maxine wouldn't be able to bend back out of it.  

How supportive did you find it in a double layer carry?
Extremely supportive!  I did a double hammock tied at my shoulder and not only did my daughter feel weightless, I knew that she was not going to budge.


Can you compare this wrap to another wrap already on the market?
I'd compare this to Didymos Iris.  It is easy to wrap with and I could see a new wrapper using this easily, especially since the rails are different colors.


Who do you think this wrap would best be geared to?
I think this wrap is best for babies and new babywearers, though an advanced babywearer would love it just as much.

Would you recommend this wrap to a friend? Why? What did you love about it?
I would definitely recommend this wrap to a friend.  It is very easy to wrap with and it is so beautiful!  The pattern made me fall in love with floral wraps and I hope that Didymos releases this in multiple colors.  I cannot stop raving about this wrap.


Please tell us a little more about yourself:
I'm a 26 year old college student and first time mom.  I've been babywearing for 8 months since my daughter was born.  I have tried over a dozen wraps and counting.  I am used to many babywearing carriers and slings, but my strongest point is ring slings.  Babywearing is a huge passion of mine!

How to fix a pull in a woven wrap      If you are just joining us. Welcome!!! Welcome to the best blog you will ever read, (hehe). We are currently doing a blog series called "How to care and fix that woven wrap of yours".  The first post was an introduction and gave you the run down on how to care for your woven wrap .

How to make your woven wrap soft and floppy, otherwise known as breaking it in

By
You just received your wrap, but it's not as soft, floppy and cuddly as you were hoping for? Don't despair!  We'll help you get that wrap buttery soft and floppy! Okay, how do you get it to change? There are several tried and true methods, but the simple answer....break down the fibers by moving them.   Friction against them will wear them down. When you first get your wrap, give it a wash and dry  (following the washing instructions per blend)  This step will dramatically change the wrap right away and you'll notice that it's not as stiff. Give it a steam iron, or two or three (depending on the fiber) Steam ironing will break the fibers down quickly.  I've also noticed that when I steam iron it width wise it helps more then when I steam iron it moving the iron from side to side. That may just be my little quirk of mine though... Pull it through sling rings,if you have them.   If not create a loop and pull the rest of
