conulyOkay, listen.
A Moby Wrap is a specific brand of wrap that is stretchy and somewhat mainstreamish.
A wrap is a piece of cloth that can be stretchy or not, and that is somewhat less mainstreamish than the Moby.
If you make it yourself, it can't be a Moby Wrap. It's just a wrap. A normal, every, NON-BRAND NAME wrap.
Sheesh.

(Meanwhile, I'm privately boggling a little over Dow Chemical Company's redundant use of trademarks and inexplicable ALLCAPS. I have absolutely no idea what was fueling that decision.)
