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!
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!

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!
I have heard that hemp is soooo absorbent!
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 love the duo wrap with the stay dry inserts for overnights
I have heard great things about hemp. I’ll have to try some.
