I tried 3 slings so far and this is the one!

I just had rotator cuff and bicep repair surgery. I originally got this as a temporary sling for when my main sling is in the wash. I was looking specifically for one that had snap/buckle closures like my hospital sling, because it's so easy to put on/off. I also tried a different sling, but that wasn't so great. I ended up loving this one so much I now use it as my main sling!!! It is SO soft inside -- unlike the scratchy one the hospital gave me that had seams and stitching inside w/ a rough fabric that ended up chafing and peeling the skin on my arm! This sling is so comfortable. Although the shoulder pad could be a bit more narrow, as that sometimes digs into my neck. I ended up replacing that with the pad from another sling and now it's perfect. The straps are very easy to adjust, and I even cut some of the velcro pieces and rounded the pointy ends so they'd be shorter and less "noisy". My arm is 12" and this sling was a bit too long, but I was able to fold the wrist end back about an inch or two and hold it there with the two velcro pieces at the end. After the first week my surgeon took my pillow off and said I no longer needed it, so I am not using that part of it. Once you get this whole thing adjusted just right for you, you will love it! The only thing I wish was designed differently would be the strap at the wrist where it buckles. The velcro pieces are sewn on. If they were removeable I would be able to fold the "cuff" back further since it was too long for my arm. So I take off a star just for that reason. Otherwise I love it!
