I have seen ring slings made out of mesh...I want to do one myself but have not yet tried. I am sure someone online sells them...can't remember who though. Maybe try googling 'mesh ringsling'.

Good luck!

I saw that too!

I think it's called a shower sling.

solarveil or solarweave. The former isn't made any longer, but some sling-makers/fabric-mavens stocked up and there are still slings out of it to be found (check thebabywearer.com)

I've seen people in pools with Moby wraps. You'd probably want a backup, because I'm sure it wouldn't try really quickly!

I made one myself out of sports mesh. It does the job and only cost me about $10 to make total (most of the cost was the sling rings). I find it very helpful when I go to the pool with the two kids.

i have a moby wrap, but i know from washing it, that it takes a really long time to dry out. we go to the pool a lot, so i would not want to make a habit of hauling around a wet moby wrap. however i like the idea of buying some sports mesh and just patterning a cut of that in she same size as the moby wrap. maybe i'll check at hobby lobby and see what they sell in sports mesh. thanks for the ideas, ladies!

There are lots of options here. You could get a Solarveil pouch or ring sling, a water mesh ring sling (I have this one http://www.heavenlyhold.com/item_50/...ing--Royal.htm) or a water wrap http://www.gypsymama.com/shop/proddetail.php?prod=water. I think water carriers are fantastic! When DS was small, I wore him all the time in the shower. I would wash right throught the fabric on both of us.
