Anyway, I did have a chance to try a ring-sling, and that's a no-go for me. I am just ring stupid... LOL Couldn't the dang thing to adjust for NOTHING. So that's out, but I need a back-up sling!!! So I was considering getting a fleece Hotsling. They look nice and roomy and seem to conform well. I had also remembered that a friend of mine raved about KK Adjstbl fleece sling too, so I went to check it out. And then of course Maya makes one too, so I looked through theirs, and now I don't know what to do!!! I did go on and read reviews at TBW, and the all seem fine, the only thing seems to be some people saying the fleece was too hot, even in winter, which conscerns me since I live in Southern Utah, Arizona, Vegas area... i.e the desert.
So my question is, which is better? And is fleece a bad thing?
TIA~

The only reason why I do not own the KK fleece pouch now is because I was in between the small and medium. I think I needed the rows of snaps where there wasn't a choice, you know what I mean? The snaps are about one inch apart, and I think I needed the snaps where the gaps were between the snaps. Anyhow, even though its somewhat custom, it wasnt custom enough for me to get a good fit. It was either a bit too small or a bit too big. The adjustable part is great though, and I wish it would have worked out for me.
As far as getting the hotsling to a comfortable fit in the shoulder area and hip area.... It could be where baby is. I noticed if I do not have my ds in the hotsling just right (seam runs down the middle of his back, leg rails right under his knees), it is uncomfortable. Not only do I notice ds arching his back in discomfort, but I feel strain myself.
Did I just make things more complicated? I didn't mean too - LOL. Personally, I would love to have a fleece sling - in fact I'm trying to decide whether or not I should buy my 5th hotsling! The comfort of the material and how it hugs the body wins it over for me. The KK one didn't work for me, but it worked for a friend of mine. So it might work for you. As far as the ring slings - I don't like the look and the extra fabric hanging.
Good Luck -
