Girasol Marsupial Mama Exclusive Titan's Rainbow

Wrap: Girasol Titan's Rainbow
Weave: Plain
Marsupial Mamas Exclusive
Size: 4.6/6 (Base +1)

I recently confessed that I wasn’t a big fan of Girasol until I tried their herringbone weave. Well, it turns out that it wasn’t just the herringbone that I like. I actually am really digging Girasol right now.

I was able to try out Marsupial Mamas Exclusive design, Titan’s Rainbow. It is the same warp as their exclusive Cosmic Rainbow but with a white weft. The white weft gives the colors a nice heathered look but they are still bold. The striped design also helps differentiate between the top rail and the bottom rail as well as keep track of strand by strand tightening which of course helps with a solid carry.

I was immediately stunned by the colors and how soft it was. I couldn't wait to wrap with it! My go to carry is double hammock with my toddler and now that my 5 month old has gotten more sturdy. So, of course that is the first carry I tried. And I am pleased to report that this is a great double hammock wrap! The wrap is thin, moldable, and slightly dry. Passes glide into place with ease and stay put. The chest pass is simply amazing. The shoulders pleat with ease. It’s also incredibly soft which makes it comfortable to wear. Because of its thinness, it also works great in the heat. It also helps that it is full of sleepy dust. 😉 My 5 month old slept in for over and hour and he was pretty weightless.

It isn’t very pull prone so it makes a great wrap to take along on adventures! It’s great for the beach, park and everything in between! I preferred it in multi-pass carries for my 26 lb 2 year old, but was able to comfortably ruck with my 16 lb 5 month old due to the shoulders pleating with ease. It is also great for an FWCC. I would definitely say a base size would last you from squish to midsized toddler with proper tightening.

I’ve got a confession to make. I was never really a fan of Girasol. I have a lot of friends that spoke very highly of the brand but I was less than impressed with the ones that I tried. Of course, I tried said Giras when I first started wrapping which could have… ok probably, had a ton to do with it. Notice how I said “was” in that sentence? Well, that’s because this wrap has totally changed my mind!

First of all, the colors are fantastic. The blend of the colors of the stripes mixed with purple weft remind me of a tropical beach somewhere. It screams summer. Which is why it’s already accompanied us to the beach plenty of times.
Aside from its colors, it being 100% cotton makes it an easy care wrap that can be thrown in the washer with wrap safe detergent without second thought. The herringbone weave also makes it sturdier than the typical twill weave.  The twill weave is not very pull prone either. That combined with the ease of wash makes this an excellent beater wrap that can go anywhere with you.

Despite the twill weave, It is still a thinner wrap. It was incredibly moldable with some diagonal stretch so passes glided perfectly into place. It is slightly dry but still felt like that perfectly broken in sweater. The one you wear just for the comfort of it? Yeah, that one. Because of the thinness, I preferred it in multiples carries with my 26 lb toddler. With the passes gliding as well as they did, that wasn’t much of an issue. My chest pass in this wrap was always amazing. It was also great with my 16 lb 5 month old. It was definitely one of his favorites!

This wrap would make a perfect beginners wrap. It breaks in easily, is easy to tighten, and the stripes make it easier to focus on strand by strand tighetening. It is also easily accessible with not only a reasonable price point but Risaroo also Layaway!

All in all, I’m super excited that Risaroo gave me a chance to try give their exclusive Girasol print a chance because not only is it beautiful but it also started a new love affair!
