Has anyone here ever tried a Girasol wrap? What did you think? How did they compare to Storchs and Didys?

Corinna has one. I have tried hers on. I think it is very similar to the stripped didys. They are cheaper and I don't know anyone that sells them anymore? They do feel cheaper as well. The weave is a bit looser. The colors are somewhat dull. Once you go German woven it is really hard to go back.

I know... old post but I will ressurect it again...

Does anybody know how the Girasol compares to the Hoppediz? I had one, but did not like it that much. I heard that Girasols are Didy-like when it came to how cushy they felt.
I am really liking the not-so-bright colors of the Girasols...

I heard that the girasols are smoother but not as stretchy as a hop-stiffer than a hop or didy. I  really want to try one too!

I just got one, it is pretty soft right away. Haven't washed it or worn it yet, so I will report back later!

Which one did you get again? 

I wonder if all Girasols are soft regardless of their color  -- Hops vary a lot for example

I wonder how supportive they are. Someone want to test? Are they as supportive as a striped didy?

All this Girasol talk really makes me want to buy one. I don't really love any of the colorways.

Same here!  I'm curious to try one, but I keep selling off my non-Didy wraps.  And none of the colors/patterns are really grabbing me......

Jess,
Dying it sounds like a lot of work! I kind of like the green one that has light green on one side and it gets darker with each line. If i have the Iris, will the green girasol pale in comparison?
