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:
Duo Wrap + Duo Hemp Prefold:
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.

I haven’t tried the hemp prefolds or the insert BUT I am head over heels in the love with the fab fitteds. They are the most amazing diaper. Paired with the duo wrap it’s unbeatable!
I use mine over the fab fitted and we LOVE them! they are my husband’s go-to combo for our 6 month old twin boys!
We use the duo fab fitted with the duo wrap for our toddler and our newborn!!! Love the hemp prefold as a doubler too, for heavy night wetters. Thirsties products are the BEST!!!
I bought four of your wraps to put over some newborn kissaluvs…I love how tiny they are and look forward to trying them out in a week or so!
I have duo wraps in several colors–love them. I love how they work with a simple prefold, folded angel-wing style with a snappi. Zero leaks, great combo!
I loooooove my thirsties wraps!
You guys have just won over our registry research. Feeling great about our decision to go with thirsties!
The trimmest and cheapest combination we have come to love is Duo Wrap plus Duo hemp inserts.
We love our duo wraps over our green mountain prefolds, but I would like to try the stay dry inserts or the fab fitted diapers. I think Grandma would like the fitted diaper better than having to deal with prefolds.
I need to try the hemp inserts. I use the duo wraps on my GMD prefolds.
These are our go to covers for nightime. I use the size 2 wraps for my 2 year old and 3 year olds and we stuff them with a prefold and a flat. Works great every night!
I love the thirsties fab fitted. My baby had one as a newborn. It fit her so well and it was so soft. I also love the gussets on the covers.
I love the Duo Wraps I bought for my newborn. We use them over fitted diapers and flats.
I am dying to try the hemp prefolds! I’ve heard such great things!
Thanks for the helpful info!
I never even though to use the stay dry inserts with the wrap! Thanks for the idea!
Thirsties Duo Wraps are my favorite… so convenient!!
I love duo wraps, I use them with all our fitteds
I haven’t used any cloth diapers yet (first baby isn’t due until March) but these diapers look very effective. I could see how they would be convenient to use.
I love how soft the duo hemp prefolds are. Like a soft knit t-shirt.
Maybe I need to try those hemp prefolds next. But I love the duo wraps with just plain old cotton prefolds – however, my husband doesn’t!
I love seeing the cash savings of all your different products here!
Love that you added up the savings at the end of each section. It’s really great to know just how much you can save! I am dying to try one of these diapers! Such cute prints!
Cant wait to try it with inserts
I use hemp prefolds in my diaper covers and it works great!!
I love to use them over Indian prefolds for an even less expensive option.
I love our Duo Wraps! I use them with the hemp prefolds and then with a few other fitteds we have. I would love to try the Thirsties fitted!

I am trying to bring more natural fibers into my stash and I didn’t know about the hemp prefolds. I will have to try them
We like to use the hemp prefold for nights. They work so well!
I love the Duo wraps for my son!
I can’t wait to try the new AIO, but I already love the duo wraps and duo diapers!
With baby #4 coming I’m hoping to try some of the new Fab Fitteds and hemp prefolds. Love my Duo Diapers…they have lasted through 2 babies so far and have lots of life left!!
Cool, it’s nice that there are so many options. I love hemp prefolds, they are so absorbent!
Do thirsties size small fit a newborn?
We LOVE our Thirsties Duo Wraps!! We use them over our kissaluvs fitted size 0 and also on prefolds! Hold in EBF poo like no other!
I love love love my duo wraps, with anything in them!
thanks for the info! i am loving our xsm thirsties on my newborn!
I love being able to use the cover over and over when nothing gets on it.
I’m strongly considering the Duo Wrap + hemp prefold as my newborn system! Love the different options with the Wrap.
Thanks so much for this info, I’m new to cloth and I love every tidbit of info I can get
Can’t wait to try the wrap, since I love the covers!
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!
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 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.
definitely going to invest in a duo wrap!
I use the duos with a cotton prefold, usually. I like the hemp ones, but too expensive for a whole stash. I pin the prefold for little guys, and trifold for toddlers. I love how I can do either with the duo, though in theory I do prefer sized covers.
As a CD newbie, I love explanations like this. It’s hard to know how and when and with what each CD element can be used. I can’t wait to get my prefolds so I can try out the Duo Wrap!
My girlfriend uses the Thirsties Duo Wrap with simple cotton prefolds. She almost never gets leaks like I often do with my pocket diapers. I wish I’d bought some Duos instead of some of my pockets.
We love our duo wraps! We use prefolds and hemp inserts. They are the only things we have found that make it through the night without leaks!
I really want to give these a try, tax time…
Cant Wait to give Thirties a try. A lot of girl i talk with on boards say you are one of the best out there. Im impatient and cant wait to start my 15 month old daughter on them, Its even better to be able to use them on our New bundle coming in June!
I was happy to see that Target carries your duo wrap diapers on their website. My hubby works there so we will get a discount when we order for our new addition soon. I love all your products.
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.
I’m expecting my first baby in the next 6-8 weeks, and my first cloth diaper purchase was two Thristies Duo wraps with 15 prefolds. Now I’m looking pretty seriously at the Thirsties Duo AIO’s. My stash so far consists of 1-2 of each of the types of diapers I’ve researched and think I’ll like best, then when my little man is here and we find out what works best for us, we’ll replace all the fitted XS diapers we bought for the newborn phase with the OS/Duos we like. I do LOVE that Thirsties are made in the USA, and so many people seem to prefer thirsties over many other products. I can’t wait to try mine out!!!
i have three fitteds and covers for nighttime.. but i am struggling to get a good fit because the fitted seems so bulky under the cover.. it causes the cover to sit make red marks on her legs way out of the crease of the leg where a diaper normally sits (if that makes any sense).. any suggestions?
I’m soo excited to try these covers, I’ve bought a few of them and have both inserts and prefolds ready to try!! Just waiting on baby who is due today lol!!
I’m in love with the Fab Fitted, but I never thought to use an insert!
I have heard great things about hemp. I’ll have to try some.
I love the duo wrap with the stay dry inserts for overnights
These wraps are great! I use flats in mine and they have never leaked!
I have heard that hemp is soooo absorbent!
