The Didymos baby slings are produced in seven (7) sizes. The sling length you will need depends mainly on the carrying method you are choosing. Your own size is of some relevance, too.
Size 2 is suitable for the "cradle" or "hip-carry" method, size 3 for the "rucksack", size 4 for the "kangaroo-carry", size 5 for the "cross-carry" and size 6 or 7 for the "wrap-cross-carry". In other words, if your own body size is no more than 14 you can use sling size 6 for all carrying methods. From body size 14 (GB) / 12 (US) you are better off with sling size 7.

<----- the length in cm ----->
The Didymos slings have the shape of a parallelogram.This gives you a little bit of extra fabric with which to tie the knot and still maintain the attractive Didymos look.Because untreated cotton will shrink a bit in the first wash, your DIDYMOS sling is a few centimeters longer than indicated so we guarantee you the exact size even after washing it.
Often the mother is much smaller than the father. However, we would still advise you to choose a shorter sling. The father won't be able to tie all the tying methods, but at least the mother won't have to wrap herself into a sling that's far too long.
