Lets do an Oscha Day!


I've tried alot of Oscha.  I didn't really realize I had a revolving door of Oscha until I started listing them off.  I remember thinking "oh it's just hype, they can't be that special", I still think it's mostly hype but Lunare is amazing to look at!

Phaise
Phaise - This is a medium weight 100% cotton wrap. I owned this in a 3.  I was not a fan of the thickness or the texture.  I like my wraps to have a slip to them to make it easier over a wiggly toddler.  This was pure grip.  No need to EVER double knot.  Support wise it was pretty decent, not as rock solid as others but certainly not a squish only wrap. Phaise lasted 3 or 4 days with me before trading 


Japanese Knots Chiisai Ceo

Japanese Knots Chiisai Ceo - Jkcc is a 40% cotton, 40% Tussah silk, 20% linen.  I had this in a 3.  By far this was the best wrap I have ever wrapped with.  The support was amazing, no sag, no give - no silk smell either!  I took a walk in DH-DR in 90 degree weather and it was still airy and the humidity did not seem to effect it.  I loved the slip to the wrap, it made passes so easy!  The reason it left - I hated the pattern...  I knew I would never wear it because it was only love for the wrap job.

Starry Night Raven
Starry Night Raven - And I traded JKCC for Raven!  Another size 3 since this is now my favorite size ever.  I was dying to try Oscha Linen and it did not disappoint!  I loved the support with my 28 pounder in the pic (not the best wrap job! oops!).  SNR had a bit of grip because of the patten which I was not a fan of, I really like wraps that glide.


Braid Pine
Braid Pine - I was dying to try out this amazing green baby!  Such an awesome mix of silver and deep emerald..  Unfortunately the size was not the best for us, and I seriously think I'm just not an Oscha girl.  Super pretty, but not the most comfortable of wraps :(

Shui Lunare
Shui Long Lunare- I had this in a 3.  Such dig in the shoulders!  I was seriously disappointed!  Its a beautiful color but unless I tightened within an inch of my life (you try doing that with a wiggly toddler!) it just was not comfortable!

Wraps I've Tried

I always wanted to wrap my baby, but I only had a Freehand Mei Tai, a Ringsling, and a stretchy wrap until he was just over a year old.  Kinda crazy for me to start wrapping at that age but damn! he's freaking heavy and my arms just could not carry Mr. Chunky Butt anymore.  So I slowly found this thing called a babywearing swap on FB...listed my Freehand and lo and behold I got my first wrap.  And I got sucked in to wrap lust, and the sudden NEED to simply try everything I could get my hands on.
Here is the Culprit behind my Wrap Churn Frenzy
