Aluminum vs nylon

These are metal aluminum sling rings (not nylon/plastic). Aluminum stays rigid under tension and heat from washing/dryers better than nylon rings, holds anodized or hand-buffed color, and is the usual choice for woven and rebozo DIY ring slings. Choose nylon only if you specifically want a flexible plastic ring — we stock aluminum for strength and longevity.

Care & FAQ

• Wash: Fine to wash slings made with these rings in a regular washer and dryer. Inspect carefully after washing before wearing again.

• Learning: Learn safe ring-sling carries with a qualified babywearing educator. This product is a hardware accessory, not a medical device.
