Pool-Friendly Mesh Ring Sling [Review]

Babywearing and toddler wearing is something that is very important to me and has saved me so many times. Baby wearing soothes a fussy and colicy newborn. Toddlers want to be held often, but us moms and dads need our hands to do other things sometimes. The closeness and comfort of wearing your child is indispensable. I love my soft structure carrier, but I get pretty sweaty wearing my toddler on me during the hot summer months. A mesh ring sling is the perfect baby sling for hot weather! SUKKIRi Baby Ring Sling is made from soft, quick drying mesh fabric and is perfect for the pool or the beach.



SUKKIRi Baby Ring Sling        
Rating: total green check marks out of 5.

The Good
The Not So Good
Made from soft, mesh  material
No instructions included
Durable metal ring

Small enough to fit in your purse




SUKKIRi Baby Ring Sling is made from soft mesh fabric. The mesh fabric is perfect for wearing your baby or toddler in the pool or at the beach because the fabric can get wet and dry very quickly. The fabric is very soft and folds up small enough to take in your purse, or even a man's pants/short pocket. The rings are made from alloy metal and can hold up to 330 lbs, though I'm not sure the fabric would be able to hold that much weight. Either way, I feel safe carrying my almost 30 lb toddler who is 2.5 years old. The ring sling can be used from birth through toddlerhood (33 lbs). I will be able to carry my son well past 3 years old because there is enough length and width of the mesh fabric to hold him securely in place.
The ring sling can be worn in two positions:
  1. Tummy-to-tummy: newborn to 6 months (15.4 lbs)
  2. Hip carry: 6 months to 36 months (33 lbs)
The SUKKIRi baby sling is my first beach and pool-friendly ring sling. Although I prefer natural fabrics, I have been wanting a mesh ring sling for quite some time because the mesh can get wet and will dry quickly. 

Usage: The hands-free baby sling is pretty easy to put on. The first time you use it, weave the fabric through the rings. After the first time, you can either keep the fabric in the rings or take it out. Decide which shoulder (or hip) you are going to wear the baby sling on and put it on. Place the child in the ring sling and tighten until the child is secure and it feels comfortable. The fabric over the shoulder should cover the top and the side of the shoulder (unlike the photos below). To take off, just loosen the rings.



Results: I believe that wearing a child should be easy and quick. While some carriers are easy to put on, others are not. I love that the ring sling is quick and easy to put on. Recently, we used this ring sling during our beach vacation. The breathable mesh fabric was great for the 90+ degree weather. My husband mostly wore our son during beach walks and he really liked how comfortable the ring sling was. We learned that placing the rings close to the top of my shoulder before tightening helped to get a good fit and not have the rings be too low (potentially digging into my toddler's thighs). I felt like my toddler was secure in the ring sling. The fabric part over my shoulder was fairly comfortable.

The ring sling is a good length. The length would work for someone who is more on the small side, but also work for plus sizes. The "tail" (fabric part left over) does hang down, but it does not get in the way. The "tail" can be tucked inside or wrapped around the ring portion.

SUKKIRi Baby Ring sling is a beach and pool friendly ring sling and is perfect for hot summer weather. Mesh fabric keeps you and the child cool. Plus, the soft fabric and durable metal rings made this mesh ring sling a great investment.

OraMD Natural Breath Spray [Review + Giveaway]

Not only do I focus on natural and organic beauty products, but I am also very careful about the products that I use to brush and clean my teeth. Many name brand toothpastes and breath fresheners claim to be healthy for teeth, but when I researched the ingredients, I decided that the ingredients were too toxic for my liking. When I need to freshen my breath on the go, I use OraMD Breath Spray, a 100% natural breath spray made with 100% oils and proven to kill mouth bacteria.



OraMD Breath Spray        
Rating: total green check marks out of 5.

The Good
The Not So Good
100% natural ingredients

Long lasting minty taste

Portable glass bottle




OraMD Breath Spray is a natural breath spray in a compact, portable glass bottle. The glass is dark amber color, which protects the botanical oils. The top is a plastic sprayer with a cap. The bottle is small enough to keep in my purse's cosmetics bag or store inside my car's center console. The sprayer is easy to use and easy to push down to release the spray. The bottle contains 0.17 oz of liquid, which is about 60 sprays.

Let's talk about the ingredients. It is very important to me to have 100% natural ingredients. And by natural, I meant actually natural ingredients. Ingredients that I can pronounce and I know what they are. Basically, my test is - can I recreate this product myself if I were to purchase the ingredients and mix them.

OraMD Breath Spray Ingredients:
100% pure botanical oils of Almond, Spearmint and Peppermint.

The almond oil is a carrier oil for the spearmint and peppermint oils. Essential oils should always be diluted, especially for topical application. Spraying undiluted spearmint and peppermint oils in your mouth can cause burns and sensitization, so I am glad that this breath spray is diluted.

Usage: Recommended for ages 13 and older. Shake and spray once in the mouth. Use as needed. OraMD Breath is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding because mint is contraindicated.

Results: For the first use, you have to prime the pump. The first spray resulted in about 50% of the actual amount of the breath spray, so I sprayed again for a full strength spray. Wow! My mouth was on fire. At 1.5 times the recommended dose, the strength was too strong. Stay with one spray because that is all you need! I have been using the breath spray about every 1-2 days as needed. I have really enjoyed the fresh feeling and the taste. I love spearmint and peppermint flavors and thus, I love this spray. My husband has also been using it and has really liked OraMD breath spray. Sometimes, I even use the spray for an energy boost because mint is known to energize.

One of my favorite times to use OraMD breath spray is after drinking coffee to avoid coffee breath. I also like to use the spray if I meeting another mom and child for a play date or I have a photography client meeting. I have really enjoyed this spray and love that it is made with all natural ingredients.

OraMD Breath Spray is effective in freshening breath and keeping bad bacteria at bay through spearmint and peppermint oils. Give it a try!



For a limited time, the OraMD is willing to offer my readers one FREE bottle. They said they would love to have our readers try out Breath and agreed to send one bottle FREE if our readers would pay a minimal shipping and handling charge.

Baby Ring Sling Carrier [Review]

Babywearing is something near and dear to my heart. There have been countless times where wearing my son when he was a baby and even wearing him now that he is a toddler has saved me. We started off with a soft structured carrier and a stretchy wrap. Recently, I acquired a ring sling to add to the baby wearing collection. Mamaway Baby Sling is a hands-free baby carrier to safely carry a baby from newborn to toddler.


Mamaway Baby Sling        
Rating: total green check marks out of 5.

The Good
The Not So Good
100% Pima cotton fabric

Durable, heavy duty Nylon ring

Machine washable




Mamaway baby sling is made from 100% Pima cotton fabric with a durable, heavy duty Nylon ring that can hold a baby through toddler age. I was a bit worried about the plastic ring, so I did some research. The plastic ring is made with woven Nylon, which makes it very durable. Mamaway claims that the ring sling can support up to 110 lbs (50 kgs). Wow! That could hold a small person! This is due to the non-stretchy cotton fabric and the heavy duty ring. For a ring sling, you want non-stretchy fabric, especially when carrying a bigger baby or a toddler. I recently tried to wear my 30 lb toddler in a stretchy wrap and he was bouncing all over the place when I walked.

Mamaway is my first official baby sling and I love it! I should have purchased a ring sling a long time ago. I love the high quality of the fabric and the adorable designs. The Pima cotton fabric has a good feel to it. I feel luxurious using the sling.

I chose the Red Anchors design. There are a lot of adorable designs for boys, girls, and gender neutral. There are even Mickey Mouse themed designs.



The ring sling is a good length. The length would work for someone who is more on the small side, but also work for plus sizes. The "tail" (fabric part left over) does hang down, but it does not get in the way. The "tail" can be tucked inside or wrapped around the ring portion.

Usage: The hands-free baby sling is pretty easy to put on. The first time you use it, weave the fabric through the rings. After the first time, you can either keep the fabric in the rings or take it out. Decide which shoulder (or hip) you are going to wear the baby sling on and put it on. Place the child in the ring sling and tighten until the child is secure and it feels comfortable. To take off, just loosen the rings. The ring sling stores in the attached pouch.


Results: I believe that wearing a child should be easy and quick. While some carriers are easy to put on, others are not. I love that the ring sling is quick and easy to put on. Even my husband was able to wear our toddler and put it on himself. I wore my toddler in the hip carry as this is about our only possibility at 2.5 years old. I did learn that placing the rings close to the top of my shoulder before tightening helped to get a good fit and not have the rings be too low (potentially digging into my toddler's thighs). I felt like my toddler was secure in the ring sling. The fabric part over my shoulder was fairly comfortable. Supposedly, one should be able to carry a child in a ring sling all day. I'm not quite sure that I would be able to do this with a 30 lbs toddler, but I could see being able to carry him for a few hours.

(My apologies for the blurry photos - squirmy toddler!)



I love the Mamaway cotton ring sling and would recommend it! I love the high quality fabric, the adorable design, and the comfort and ease of using it for hands-free babywearing.
