Slinglings are made from stretch sateen which makes a smoother finish than traditional weaves. It has more thread surface on the face of the cloth giving a softer feel and more lustrous look. Think of very high thread count bed sheets with a touch of stretch.

Kangarinos has both padded and unpadded Slinglings:

The padding is made to go under an older baby's (6 months and up) legs, in the bend behind the knees, in any of the legs out positions - the hip carry and tummy to tummy and back carry. When carrying a newborn in a padded sling you will generally wear the padding on the outer rail. The padding can be used as a place to grip when positioning the baby and it helps hold the pouch fabric open more to prevent draping across the baby's face. Some babies like to chew on the padded rail, and the padding can help act as a pillow under a newborn's head who wants to see out, but who doesn't have good neck control yet.

Unpadded slings are easier to fold, more compact and can fit in a smaller bag or pocket.
