So I wore the psling for about 45 minutes while shopping today & it killed my shoulder. It seemed like it was digging & riding up on my neck. WTF am I doing wrong?
Not like you can tell w/o a PIP right? I'm about to go watch a movie with DH but didn't know if you had any quick ideas for me to try tomorrow. I really, really want to fall in love with the psling. Please come enable me. (Not like I really need it now that I'm officially in love w/ the SB & want 2 more.)

Re: :: Cindy ::
it seems completely counter-intuitive, but try wearing it looser than you would wear your SB. If it's a bit looser, the wide fabric can support the weight more. The rings should be a tiny bit lower too- pslings generally are more comfortable when you wear it low(er) and loose(r).
If you take a picture, you might PIP on the "choosing and using" forum on TBW- they can help a lot!
What SBs are you wanting? I had a single layer linen but didn't love the color, I have an artisan silk and I'm waiting on a double layer silk... I'm debating either one of the new pixie slings or a kalea for mothers day
The double layer silk is really supportive. I knew it might be a bit hot for summer & was going to wait but I couldn't pass up the choc/teal one.
I'm debating between a double layer Pixie & a double layer in Bayou. I think I'm going to stay away from the single layer @ this point unless its wide like a psling or Kalea sw since Ari's getting so heavy.
I'll try loosening & lowering on the psling & let you know. I'll PIP on TBW if I still need help too.
I can't wait to see action pictures when people start getting their pixies! Those look gorgeous.
I was wearing my latte cattinu psling today at Target and the grocery store, and it was super comfortable- she does sit really low though, compared to a SB or SBP. Like, so low if you saw me at the store you would think, "Hmm, somebody needs to show her how to use her RS!" lol I don't know why it works in the psling and not others, but somehow when she sits low and really deep in the pouch, it transfers her weight to my lower back rather than my shoulder. Good luck!
