What to Use in the Thirsties Duo Wrap

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:

  • I really want to try your wraps with a stay fry insert. I love the flip system so I feel as though this system would be comparable.

  • I love duo wraps over a prefold. It is my favorite way to cloth diaper. I haven’t tried your hemp prefolds yet but I’d like to!

  • I used prefolds with my newborn (and first baby) and I thought it was going to be bulky and a lot of work. But then I found the duo wraps and have LOVED cloth diapering! My little one is now 7 months and we’re still using the size 1 wrap! Thanks for making a great product that is trim and long lasting!
