The Duo Wrap is a waterproof cover, and you will need to add absorbency inside. Thirsties offerings for absorbency in the Duo Wrap are the Duo Hemp Prefold, Stay-Dry Duo Insert, and Duo Fab Fitted diaper. One of the benefits to using a two piece system is that you can use the wrap up to 5 times in between washings. This means that you need to buy less wraps than diapers or inserts. The following is some information about each option:
This combo offers: Affordability, adjustability, durability, absorbency, softness, trimness, and natural fibers. Prefolds are absorbent diapers that are flat. They can be trifolded for ease of use in the Duo Wrap. You only need 1 Duo Wrap for every 3-5 prefolds. Cost: Duo Wrap: $12.25 each for solids, $12.75 each for prints – available in snap or Aplix closures. Duo Hemp Prefold: $8.00 each Full stash of size 1 and 2: $405.50- $499.75 (This is for a two day supply.) Save: $867.19 + over the cheapest disposables! Â
This combo offers: Affordability, adjustability, ease of use, trimness, and absorbency. Stay-Dry Duo Inserts are absorbent inserts that replace a diaper. You will lay them into the Duo Wrap. You only need 1 Duo Wrap for every 3-5 Stay-Dry Inserts. Cost: Duo Wrap: $12.25 each for solids, $12.75 each for prints – available in snap or Aplix closures. Stay-Dry Duo Insert: $7.00 each Full stash of size 1 and 2: $365.50- $459.75 (This is for a two day supply.) Save: $907.19 + over the cheapest disposables! Â
This combo offers: Adjustability, adjustability, absorbency, softness, and excellent leak protection. The Duo Fab Fitted is an absorbent, adjustable fitted diaper. This diaper provides an extra barrier at the legs to stop leaks, and is very absorbent. You only need 1 Duo Wrap for every 3-5 fitted diapers. Cost: Duo Wrap: $12.25 each for solids, $12.75 each for prints – available in snap or Aplix closures. Duo Fab Fitted: $17.00 each – available in snap or Aplix closures.

Thirsties Duo Wraps are my favorite cover! I love that they have elastic on the front to create a a better fit, others do not and leave a gap. They are the only ones that fit my little guy well. I wish I would have gone with a whole stash of these but am new to cloth diapering and am testing lots of things to figure out what works best. Thanks for all the info!
Very helpful post! I’m new to cloth diapering and have been trying to learn what’s what and what would work best for us. I bought pocket diapers and am not as impressed with those-still too bulky for my little guy; I’d love to try the duo wrap system with the hemp prefolds or the inserts.
I have heard that hemp is soooo absorbent!
These wraps are great! I use flats in mine and they have never leaked!
I have heard great things about hemp. I’ll have to try some.
