Over 2 months ago, I was approached by Ciinolin to review one of their muslin swaddles for our coming baby in October. The only swaddles I remembered using were those white colored cotton nappy cloth and I was interested with Ciinolin's products as I was told that we can still use it for our child as they grow along. I wouldn't say no to value products like this! So here goes my review:
Description from the product page:
"Ciinolin (pronounced “See – no – leen”) was founded under the very same belief that “all things grow better with love, care and diligence”. Similar to Aden and Anais it was made using a blend of cotton and bamboo rayon. A set contains 3 different 47″ x 47″ swaddles made from 70% rayon made from natural bamboo fibres and 30% cotton. Comes in a box of 3 swaddles and for every box, Ciinolin intend to donate 6 sets of school stationery to children in Myanmar through B1G1, an NGO registered and regulated in Singapore."
There are currently 2 designs available which are: Cirebon Adventures, a narrative inspired by children’s imagination for exploration and adventure in faraway places and Madura Merrytime, a celebration of the rustic bold colored batik from the Javanese island of Madura.
* PACKAGING: I received the Cirebon Adventures design and love the cute and practical packaging box that comes with it.
* INSTRUCTIONS & LABELING: There is ample information all over the packaging box which explains why you should swaddle your child, how to swaddle your child, the features of the swaddles, how to care instructions and more. Label instructions are clear and easy to read and follow as well.
* DESIGN: The Cirebon Adventures design are very cute! Love the cute animals going off to a faraway place, on aeroplane, birds and hot air balloons! So carefree and adventurous at the same time!
* FEATURES: The moment I opened up the packaging and touched the swaddles the first time, oh boy... it is sooooooooooo soft to the touch, I just caressed it gently and lovingly.... ahhhh... soft and smooth like a newborn skin, I say! FYI, the swaddles are made from 70% rayon made from natural bamboo fibres and 30% cotton.
Another thing to note is the swaddles are very huge!!! Love the big size!
I immediately got on to soak, rinse and wash the swaddles. It is very fast to dry and requires no ironing at all! I gave one of the swaddles to my sister-in-law who is expecting her 2nd child and due 2-3 weeks after me. The other 2 swaddles go straight into my labor bag!
* USING IT: Ta-daaaa! Pictures below showing you our newborn baby girl being swaddled in Ciinolin while we were in the hospital.
I love seeing her safely and comfortably cocooned in the cute and comfy swaddle! To sum up my review of the Ciinolin muslin swaddles, I am glad to be able to review it and happy to know our baby girl is comfortably swaddled in this oh-so-soft and comfy swaddle! Oh by the way, I also use the swaddles as a blanket sometimes! Definitely a keeper!
