On Wrap Thickness...

My son has always been the higher percentile for height and weight. It wasn't long before certain wraps began to feel diggy. When I ordered my first Mystery Box from birdies room, only one wrap made the "cut" and that was Moss 55% linen. DS was only 4 or 5 months old at the time, but even BNIB I thought it was the bees knees. From that point on, I was a thick-wrap-lovin' mama. Thick and beastly because my favorite wrap descriptors, and the likes of Geckos Antigua, Carmin and Caribe fish, and Ecru Pfau all had their debut in my stash. I swore off all things thin, because I knew they just wouldn't work for me. Many beasts from the didy forest came and went until one day, I realized that while I loved many of my thick wraps, the ones I was reaching for most were all thin. 07 Pfau, Didy Ginkos, My Old Hopp. Looking back, my wrap preferences seem to go in reverse, I started out loving thick supportive wraps, and as DS got bigger and bigger, I began to love and prefer thin and moldable. Over those months, as my wrapping skills became more fine tuned, I found my needs changing drastically, or perhaps that I didn't "need" much in a wrap at all. At one point, I wouldn't buy a wrap if it wasn't "toddlerworthy," but recently I find I can wrap with almost anything and be pretty comfortable. That said, different wraps have their purpose. I love my Girasols for rebozo, but I wouldn't want one as a long wrap, just because there are much better things I can use, and I have a long Jade Royal that I love, but I didn't care for Jade as a shorty. I guess my purpose for this post is to warn new wrappers, that if you do end up ordering a Mystery Box, or happen upon a thin wrap that you don' think is supportive enough for you, Don't blame the wrap. I have a lot of regrets about wraps I sold because they were "too thin." I think I just may not have been a skilled enough wrapper to be able to use them properly, and had I known then, I probably would have practiced a little more before moving them on.
