Brand Name:  Natibaby Wrap Name:  Marsupial Mamas Exclusive Autumn Blaze Reviewed by: Sara Stobart Size of Wrap: 6 Fabric Content: 50% Merino Wool, 50% Cotton What size is the wrappee? 15 months, 30 in, 20lbs What is the thickness of this wrap? Thick Does it have cush? Look up cush in the dictionary - it probably says Autumn Blaze. This is the cushiest wrap I have ever wrapped with! Marshmallowy soft. Super moldable! Nice grip! How does it feel on your shoulders? At first wrap I had a difficult time with the shoulders. There seemed to be so much fabric I just couldn’t get it to sit comfortably. The wrap kept slipping off my shoulders. Then I tried sandwiching and it did a world of difference! It folded beautifully and felt so comfortable. Perfect weight distribution. Awesomely fluffy! How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have? I would classify this wrap as medium stretchiness. How ...

Breaking in a woven wrap

You just received your wrap, but it's not as soft, floppy and cuddly as you were hoping for? Don't despair! I remember when I purchased my first woven wrap years ago, after wrapping with a Moby for awhile.  I was a bit shocked at how crunchy and stiff it was.  I almost gave up on wrapping, thinking that it wasn't for me (lol, imagine that!)  At the time, I had no wrapper friends locally so I'd never felt what a woven wrap was supposed to feel like and I was disappointed to be quite honest.  Long story short, I sold that woven and purchased an old used Didymos Paul.  It was love at first feel!  Paul was everything I dreamt woven wraps would be, moldable, cuddly and soft like a baby blanket. I started purchasing other wovens and found that I really enjoyed the "breaking in" process of it.  It's interesting to see how the fibers and the tactile of the threads change throughout time. Okay, but how do you get it to change? There are seve...

Natibaby Argyle Blue

Brand Name: Natibaby Wrap Name: Marsupial Mamas Exclusive Argyle Blue Reviewed by: Sara Stobart Size of Wrap: 6 Fabric Content: 50% Cotton, 50% Hemp How long has this wrap been used by you? 3 weeks What size is the wrappee? 14 months, 29 in, 20lbs What is the thickness of this wrap? Thick! Does it have cush? Yes! Argyle is super cushy, bouncy, springy! It absorbed impact like shocks on a car. When it arrived to me it felt somewhat like a two by four in hand and I have to admit, I was quite hesitant to see its wrapping qualities. After a hot wash, tumble dry and steam iron, this baby softened up a great deal. While I still wouldn’t describe it as super moldable post-wash, it definitely relaxed enough to be deemed CUSHY! How does it feel on your shoulders? Incredibly supportive. Secure. Firm. How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have? Just a bit of stretch. How supportive did you...
