    Easycare v. Didymos

    I hear rumors the Easycares are softer than Didymos - does anyone have both? I am so curious about them! Also, do the Easycares all come with a bag as well? Or is that just Karisaf's pictures?

    Hmmm... I briefly owned an Easycare (I only sold it b/c the color/pattern wasn't "me") and I liked it a lot.  It was very soft and silky.  Out of the bag it was actually slippery and ds would be slippin' around in the carry.  I washed it once and it stayed soft and silky, but wasn't as slippy.  I heard that 2 washes was the magical number.  EZs are thinner than Didys.  Softer?  Out of the bag, but I didn't have one long enough to really comment.  They do all come w/ the matching bag (SO CUTE!)- unless you get one used and the seller doesn't have one.

    I don't have a Didy, but I just got an Easycare (my first woven) and I love it! I love the bag too! I got a #12.

    I had an easycare for a few weeks (I am terrible with my wraps, if I am not loving them off they go to FSOT). Mine was not new, it had been used a lot. It was soft and thin and was pretty light feeling when worn...I REALLY liked wrapping with it and didn't find it slick at all. It didn't seem like it got "cushy' though like a really broken in didy. I sold mine because I wasn't crazy about the colors, but I would probably try one again if the colors grabbed me.

    I am struggling with the colors as well... none are really speaking to me yet, so I dont know if I think it is worth it unless they are SO amazingly comfortable I NEED one...

    The easycare have such neat colors! But I think a didy just feels so much better!

    Different Didy weaves feel different -- so you can't really compare Easycares to every single Didy. Each Didy weave (and sometimes even different colors of the same weave) feel very unique.

    I have both and I think that a used Easy has very similar feel to a Jacquard Didymos: very thin and with a flannely feel. A brand new Easy feels different: more silky and less cushy.

    I think Easycares are GREAT wraps and really like mine. But my heart still belongs to Didymos because of the variety of colors/patterns and the beauty of the weave.

    I think an Easycare can be compared to a Jacquard Didy-- both are soft and snuggly.  The striped Didys are not as soft as either the Easy or the Jacquard-- over time and wear they will be though :) You just gotta work a stripe.

    I have the waves, and I dont really find it very soft, that was why I kind of wanted a softer wrap... I have Vicky storch also, and I dont think that is so soft either - both are kind of hard, actually. We are now sleeping with the waves to maybe soften it more (and of course, we USE it!)...
