Some really lovely ones there.

I don't care for it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-the-only-mom-who-hates-minky#post-2340928 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 11:13:54 +0000 ms.line 2340928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you need a whole Boppy or just a cover? I bought an Orla Kiely one from Target for the same reasons, but I don't think they sell just the cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-the-only-mom-who-hates-minky#post-2340915 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 10:37:05 +0000 Maysprout 2340915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dislike it. All of the microfiber plastics just make my skin dry out and really cracked. I think that might be the skin crawling feeling bc I feel the same way when I touch them - it's soft but I just associate it with my dry, cracked skin now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-the-only-mom-who-hates-minky#post-2340897 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:59:55 +0000 lady baltimore 2340897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear, the feel of the stuff just makes my skin crawl! I have been searching for a Boppy cover that's not too babyish (just something that won't be an eyesore in the living room), but everything solid or subtle is backed with minky! Anyone else not like the stuff? </p>
