Who am * I * to be a wrap reviewer?!

If you've been hanging around here, reading my posts and checking things out, you may be wondering, who does she think she is?  Why does this random internet person think she can just write wrap reviews out of nowhere and we're all just supposed to agree with her? What if she has no clue what she's talking about? What if I've been wrapping for 3 times as long as her, what do I care what she thinks?

Well, I asked myself all of these questions when I started writing this blog. It was slightly scary actually, when I first sat down with this idea. I thought people might send me mean messages telling me that I hadn't been wrapping long enough to know anything about wraps or that I hadn't tried enough of the "classic" or "vintage" wraps to have enough to compare to. Then I realized that using and reviewing wraps is such a personal and subjective thing that it didn't really matter what anyone else thought. My experience with a wrap won't be identical to anyone else's and that's okay! The point here is not for me to tell anyone what wraps they should and shouldn't buy, but rather to describe in an honest and hopefully funny way, what I think of the woven wraps that I'm trying. It's almost like a private journal that I can use to remember this time, and all the wraps bought, sold, and traded but with a (small) audience. Most of the time I pretend you guys aren't even here reading this. I try not to get "too" caught up in the extras that go with babywearing on the internet. I don't really follow the history of each company, or any drama that might be associated with them. I feel like I'm usually the last one to find out about a new wrap company anyway!

So, I sit down and write. Mostly for my own enjoyment, to compare notes with friends, and to hopefully keep bringing babywearing and woven wraps more and more into mainstream parenting culture.

What do you think so far? I've gotten some great feedback, but I love comments and I'm dying to hear if anyone has different reviews of the wraps I've reviewed here. A good friend and I are always disagreeing about wrap qualities and I love discussing what makes a good wrap; cush, support, design, texture, glide, grip, etc. What else would you like to see in a wrap review? As always, leave your thoughts in the comments!

Thanks!
