Gustine Wrap

HOW TO CHOOSE THE SIZE OF YOUR GUSTINE WRAP?

When starting out with a wrap, we strongly suggest starting with your basic size.

What is the "base" size?

It's the wrap size with which you will be able to comfortably do a cross wrap (FWCC). Finished with a double knot in the back, without being in the tips to tie the knot.

A person who dresses in XS or S, will usually have a base size 5.

A person who dresses M or L, will usually have a basic size 6.

A person who dresses XL, will usually have a base size 7.

When in doubt, if you are hesitating between 2 sizes, choose the larger size. You can always cut it down if needed.

HOW LONG IS A GUSTINE WRAP?

A size 4 measures 3.7 m

A size 5 measures 4.2 m

A size 6 measures 4.6 m

A size 7 measures 5.2 m

The most important step before using your Gustine is to WASH it!

Although our fabric is pre-washed, the Gustine manufacturing process is not complete until the fiber has swollen to fill all the space in the fabric. Not washing your Gustine before its first use leaves empty spaces between the stitches, which weakens the weave and also increases the risk of the fibers shifting and premature wear.

SOAP

• Our natural and ecological Gustine soap made from Marseille soap is ideal for washing baby carriers.
• It is a mild soap, without optical brightener (bleaching agent), without softener.
• Baby soaps are not recommended.
• No powdered soap (powder residue can damage the fabric fiber).
• Rinse the soap well if it is not a no-rinse soap.

WASHING

• Wash in cold water, ideally by hand, but our wraps can be washed in the washing machine.

DRYING

• Ideally, hang to dry, taking care to wring out well. However, our woven wraps are dryer safe.
