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 was given a few different types of diapers to try when my son was born… out of probably about five different styles/brands, Thirsties duo wrap with hemp prefolds turned out to be my favorite and just about all I use now.
