What is the difference between a thirsties duo wrap as opposed to diaper cover?

I personally used both the duo wrap and diaper covers do not come with inserts, the cover has a smaller weight range than the duo wrap because the duo wrap has bottons (as well as the Velcro) to make it bigger as you need it

The thirsties diaper cover comes in sizes (XS, small, medium, and large). The thirsties duo wrap only comes in 2 sizes. It has snaps along the front that allow you to fold down the front to adjust the diaper rise. The size 1 fits most babies from 6-18 lbs, the size 2 fits most babies from 18-40lbs. Both are good diaper covers. I find that the original thirsties cover fit better.

The Duo I do believe are one size. The wraps are sized. One size means a bigger range, like 18-40 lbs as opposed to 12-16 lbs.

A duo wrap contains two inserts usually microfibre and hemp or bamboo , and the cover is without any inserts or pocket for an insert.

Would depend on the new born cover you're using. They are a little shorter then a regular insert. I wouldn't advise using them solely as an insert. I use mine as a liner over my regular covers. They aren't absorbent enough to use just as an insert. I love the product as a liner though, keeps tge diapers clean. I also lay a fleece rectangle in them makes clean up easier. Hope this helps.

I used the small as inserts for pocket diapers. Which would be more like pad folding for a cover. If you have a toddler you can get a medium, but I wouldn't go larger than that. They we're trim enough to not be as bulky as microfiber but more absorbent. I have since had to abandon all pockets for fitteds because my toddler is such a heavy wetter. I used them on a daily basis diapering 2 babies. They held up pretty well to the daily abuse.

This is only a covering, we still use ours but always with a diaper on the inside. We found that pad like kotex is not good enough. We usually buy a small diaper and cut a hole for the tail, but we use the wrap to secure the diaper around him.

They measure about 13 inches long. I just put my thirsties duo wrap size 1 (the closest thing I have to a newborn cover) on the smallest setting and tried the alva in it, but it was a tad longer than the diaper cover was. They fit perfectly in the middle and biggest snap setting though. I got these when she was about 12 pounds, (depending on how big your newborn is,12lbs might not be that far away) and they have been my absolute favorite inserts for her. Super squishy and dont hold odors like the microfiber ones.

I image. I use the FLIP and BUMGENIUS brands. These look like tissues, with a different type of material. You just lay them on top of the diaper so they should work with anything.

It's an all-in-one, meaning shell and insert altogether. I would consider actual cotton or hemp traditional diapers. The downsides are very exaggerated in my experience and they are much easier to clean, and the "cloth diapers" like this Freetime all have major downsides (see my review) that get little if any attention. I use prefolds and flats and Thirsties covers. No pins or fasteners in the diaper insert - it's just held on by the cover and it works great. FWIW, I didn't like any of the options we tried at first....but with practice I found which I liked and which had bad features. IMO nobody has significantly improved upon old-school diapers.

I use these with the Thirsties covers and nothing else. No snappies or liners are necessary unless you want to use them. There are lots of YouTube videos with some great info and tips for explaining all the different types of cloth diapers. These diapers, along with the Thirsties covers (which last for years!) are by far the cheapest option for cloth diapering, and the least complicated in my opinion.

The coverups are just that -- they only "cover up" the diaper. There mostly used with liners. It doesn't offer protection on its own, you will still need an absorbent liner to use this coverup. It has a tail opening. My wife still finds herself using a diaper for our yorkie and covering it up since she tends to try to remove the diaper. With this coverup it makes it impossible for her to do so, however, if your terrier doesn't mind the diaper this will be of no use to you unless you want to "hide" it.

According to the manufacturer, these work best as stated below: Thirsties Hemp Insert for the very best in bulletproof protection against leaks. Made from 6 layers of remarkably soft hemp & cotton blend knit jersey, you will find that these are exactly what your baby needs to sleep comfortably through the night without leaks. The steady and stable absorption characteristics of hemp works best behind the fast absorbing power of the microfiber terry soaker of Thirsties Fab Fitteds and One Size Pocket Diaper. The manufacturer does not state that these can be used or not used with a Duo Wrap Cover, as long as there is no MICROFIBER to touch baby, these should be okay to use.

I'm not 100% sure... but I really believe they are the same thing. I have used the washable diaper cover-ups with a liner for my female (in heat) and they are awesome. If you are looking for incontinence protection you may need an actual diaper, and then if you want it to look good you could purchase the cover-ups to go over it. Here's a link to the ones I purchased: Simple Solution Washable Diaper Cover-Ups, Large, "Colors May Vary", Pink/Purple or Blue/Black, 2 Pack I hope this helps.

Cottonbabies flip and thirsties duo wraps both work with prefolds really well

No they do not. This is not the best diaper cover for night, especially for heavy wetters.

No. Deffinately get a cover, I would even say get two. Sometimes late night diaper changes turn into a disaster, that's how I ended up getting a second cover.

We ended up buying Kauai Baby Goodnight Heavy Wetter diapers. They come with two super thick microfiber inserts. We use both inserts plus a Thirsties hemp insert at night. But, this would be super bulky for daytime.

Yes. The wrap has elastic on both the long edges to snug it around your dog's body once it is on. The wrap has a velcro closure to secure it one you have wrapped it around your dog's body. Our dog is nearly 100 pounds and we place two overnight maxi pads in the wrap to absorb all of his pee. The wrap alone might absorb enough for a small dog but can't absorb enough volume for larger dogs by itself. Maxi pads are more absorbent and cheaper than the liners for the wrap.

This is just the waterproof shell that goes on the outside of the diaper. You will need the absorbent insides. You have several options here: 1- you can use an old school flat diaper which you fold and pin around your baby. If you use those, you will need "flats" and something to pin them with, either pins or snappis. 2- you can use what is called a fitted diaper. Those are less intimidating than flats. They look similar to the outer shell but are soft and absorbent. They sometimes have snaps on them to close them and sometimes not. If they are snapless, you may want a pin or a snappi. 3- you can use prefolds which are really similar to flats but are already sewn into a partially folded shape. You may want a snappi or pin for these too. 4- you can simply lay something absorbent into this shell without pinning or snapping it around your baby. You can use a folded up flat or prefold for this or a cloth diaper insert (NOT the microfiber kind because those cannot go next to baby's skin, but you could use hemp, cotton, or bamboo). In this case you would not need pins or snappis. I don't like this as much because it doesn't contain poop as well and so poop can get on the cover which means you have to use a new cover. If the cover doesn't get poop on it, you can reuse it. Hope that helps!
