Studies have shown babywearing offers so many benefits to both the wearer and their baby. And because our Stretchy Baby Wraps are size inclusive and gender neutral featuring approx. 5m of machine washable fabric, they can be worn by everybody, giving the opportunity for others to bond with baby.

Tencel™ is a wonderfully sustainable fabric. This certified biobased fabric is manufactured using wood pulp from responsibly managed European forests. The fibers are certified as compostable and biodegradable, creating zero waste. Tencel™ fabrics wash beautifully, getting even softer with each wear.
At 280gsm, it will hold its shape for longer than lighter baby wraps. Our 2-way stretch Tencel™ makes it super easy to tie securely, while leaving enough wriggle room to get the tension just right. For this reason, we recommend our 2-way stretch Tencel™ wrap for first time babywearers. Read more about our materials below.
Tencel™ fabrics are ideal for babywearing for so many reasons:
- Breathable
- Unfavourable for bacteria growth
- Botanical origin
- Sustainable production
- Gentle on skin
As parents, we want to make decisions that are best for our babies and best for the world they will inherit.
