This is a BETTA sling I purchased about 8 years ago. I bought it for walks with my daughter when she was a newborn to about 2 months old. It seems to be designed to be very comfortable for babies, as she would fall sound asleep when I used it. I never got it dirty with diaper leaks or anything, and it has been home-cleaned and stored. It has thin stripes and a masculine design, so I think men can also use it. Great for newborns, infants, and transporting pets. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions *
