Risaroo Exclusive
Size: 4.2 m/5 (base)

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!
