Podegi or Mei Tai?

[sraplayas]

Which do you like?

I've narrowed down to start with either a Podegi or Mei-Tai--thanks to some helpful MDC mamas http://www.mothering.com/discussions....php?t=1083184

I'm petite & want something beautiful that I can use all day long and not have shoulder strain! in addition, I have to be careful with certain ties b/c I have mastitis-prone breasts. (no cross-over)

ds is 4+mos and 17lbs.

I like the mangobaby mei-teis but having a hard time finding a narrow podegi brand w/a fabric that i like.

I guess that I am leaning toward the podegi but just wanting some more feedback on 1) comfort 2) how flattering is it for D-cup mamas--and while losing baby weight? 3) reliable brand and vender?

thanks!
oh-forgot to mention that I've used pouches & the Sutemi w/1st babe & w/ds though shoulder pain has been an issue w/the pack

i have both and have to say that i find MTs more comfortable for longer term carries and easier on the shoulders but i have big fat piggie baby here... so he just might be too big.
