Why are wraps soooo expensive?

[lepaskilf]

I mean they're just material!!!

I have a rucksack carrier which is cheaper and that has metal bars and storgae compartments!!!!

I don't quite understand it either!

I guess what kind you buy and who from, and whether you want pretty colours or not
Same as clothes....You pay for label, design etc

I prefer WN wraps if I havent got wool to hand, they are only the same sort of price as the boring ones.

^^ i think she means wraps for baby wearing squish not baby
bottoms.

you've got WN's on your mind again?

I thought she meant nappy wraps as well! I was going to mention knitting your own, and the Nature Babies essential ones! Aren't the ones you wear babies in called slings?

lol I thought nappies too as the price of some wraps is the same price as a AIO nappy LOL

 

[Lu28]

I thought we were talking about slings! I didn't see the point spending the money on a moby so just bought a length of pretty material instead.

 

[Arcanegirl]

I thought wraps too At least my reply would make sense either way

um... I'm going with sling wraps girls.. unless you know of any nappy wraps that have metal bars and extra storage??

 

[anothersquish]

I was tired.....but that is funny....and yes I had WN on the brain again....I ordered yet more last night to match his GHMILY hoodie and Ooga Booga top LOL This is me on a May nappy ban, whoops.

i do mean baby wearing wraps!! was having a rant to myself as couldn't find one within my budget, even on ebay so ended up buying some material from local aberkhan for 5er, done the trick!!!!

I don't think nappy's are too expensive, unless you become addicted!!!!

I think the thing with woven wraps is that they are woven in very certain way to be able to support the weight of a baby and so there's enough stretch but too much and to make sure it's comfy on you. I'm not sure a normal length of material would cut it. It may work short term but woven wraps are pretty heavy duty and last years. If you're talking strechy that's a whole dif thing and ignore everything I've just said

What material is best to buy for making your own wrap? Have ordered a moby but would like to try and make my own!

i just bought about 5yds of stretchy material, it was 60" wide so i cut it in half and made one long wrap and 2 ring sling type wraps out of it
