Slings come in 3 sizes and these sizes only affect how lone the sling will be (the width does not change with the sizes):

 

*Small (approximately 1 yard and 30 inches) great for people who are 5 feet, 1 inch or shorter and weigh 110lbs or less

 

*Medium (approximately 2 yards and 3 inches) Perfect for the majority of people

 

*Large (approximately 2 yards and 12 inches) great for large/plus size people who are nursing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sizing Recommendations: If you are a small size and will be using the sling to nurse your baby in or using the tail as a shield, then a medium size may be more accommodating. The medium size will fit most people, as well as breastfeeding mom's. The large size will fit you if you are a large/plus sized person AND breastfeeding (or need to shield from the wind/sun).

Compare: If you are 5 feet 3 inches, weigh 160 lbs and are a 'C' cup, a small will reach your hips, medium will reach your mid-thigh and the large will reach your knees.

 

Custom Sizing: If you are unsure of your size or would just rather have a custom fitted sling, please take a tape measure and hold it on one shoulder, bring it down across your front to your opposite hip, up your back and to the place you first started with on your shoulder. Then bring your tape measure down where you would like your sling to end. If you are not breastfeeding (or will not use the tail for any other reason) then we would recommend you measure to your hip. If you are breastfeeding ( or will be using the tail for any other reason) then we would recommed the tail come to your mid-thigh or lower. Please let us know this number in inches.

 

Washing Recommendations: It is recommended that you machine wash your sling(s) in cold water and hang to dry. However, to soften up your sling you may wash and then dry in the dryer with fabric softner. You may iron your sling if needed( ironing is not recommened on Solarweave fabrics).
