Length term
98-inch rebozo
A 98-inch rebozo is about 2.5 meters of 100% cotton — the doula default. About $47 for Lola’s pedal-loom cloth, about 23 inches wide. It covers manteada, hip squeeze, belly bind, and a simple hip carry for most bodies. It is not a full two-shoulder wrap. Check the shop for what is on the shelf; this page is not a stock list.
How long is a doula rebozo?
About 98 inches, which is 2.5 meters (about 249 cm), and about 60 cm (23 inches) wide. That is long enough for manteada, a hip squeeze, a belly bind, and a simple hip carry on most bodies, and short enough to fold into a birth bag. Taller clients or more wrap: 118 inches. A full two-shoulder carry: 196.
If you can only buy one length for a birth bag, buy this one. Two of the same 98-inch beat a rainbow of sizes you will not finish. Buying the cloth does not teach the hands — learn techniques from a trained person.

Questions
Why 98 inches and not 196?
Extra length in a birth bag becomes laundry. You do not need 196 inches to sift a belly. Match the cloth to the job — see rebozo sizes.
How wide is a 98-inch rebozo?
About 60 cm (23 inches) on our listings. Width can vary a little from the loom. We do not cut this cloth from a bolt. Details on how to choose.
