Is this all I need to go with the Thirsties Duo Wrap Cover or is there something else? I am a little overwhelmed learning about cloth diapering!

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.

I use these with my thirties and prefolds, GroVia BioLiners Unscented Diaper Liners, 200 CountIt somehow contains the solid waste so you can just flush it down the toilet. Otherwise reusable diapers would have been a deal breaker! No washing diapers in the toilet or getting special spray attachments! Make sure you get a serious pail, like diaper Dekor too!

You need these and a cover. And then you'll need pins or snappis to hold the prefold together. I trifold mine so I don't need pins or snappis, but not all covers allow for that. I don't have any thirsties covers so I don't know if you can just fold them in those.

Either or...I use the KerrBear diapers and they have the pockets where you can slide the insert inside. It's up to you...I put the clothe insert on top instead of inside more so because if you put the insert on the inside of the diaper then you'll have to change both the cloth diaper along with the insert. I put mine on the top because my babe does not always leak through to the cloth diaper, so I can keep the diaper on her longer...hopefully all this makes since.

I use a single hemp insert inside Thristies covers. Works wonderfully. With cloth diapers you should change after every wet, and one insert should be plenty absorbent for one wet. My baby is 4 months old and one wet leaves only half the insert wet, so it theoretically could hold two wets from a baby her size/age, but more likely only one wet for older babies and toddlers. LOVE this system because it is sooo TRIM under clothing!

These are pretty awesome, btw - one of the best cloth diapering inserts on the market. This product is an insert - you lay in inside a diaper cover like this bumgenious one: BumGenius Freetime All in One Cloth Diaper - Snap - Grasshopper - One Size . Assuming your child has only wet the diaper, you can just pull out the wet insert and put in a dry one, reusing the cover. This means you only need one cover for ever 3 or 4 changings. When your child goes number 2, the mess will likely spread onto the inside of the cover, and you'll want to wash both. If you are serious about cloth diapering, get a diaper sprayer: OsoCozy Cloth Diaper Sprayer . I wouldn't do cloth diapers without one.

I don't think you can buy them standalone. I actually have hemp inserts that I got from BabyKicks JoeyBunz and I prefer them for a stand alone doubler. The thirsties version can be unsnapped from the microfleece layer, but it does have snaps on it, so you'd want to only turn the soft side toward the baby if you do decide to use it without the fleece layer. I like the thirsties inserts for absorbancy in a quick trip out and about, but if your kid #2s in their diaper, it's a bit of a mess because it gets all over the cover!

Check out the cloth baby wipes at GreenMountainDiapers.com I love them. They are Terry on one side and Flannel on the other. We use some for diaper time and others for food clean up.

I'd recommend a minimum of 12 - if you do Landry everyday. I have the Thirsties prefolds as well and absolutely love them. I'm still using the small size on my petite 18 month old. I had 1 of each and just liked them so much better than these. Better investment and useful longer, as well as more versatile. But maybe get a few of each and see which you like best. You can always add more of what you like to your stash and with a newborn, you almost can't have too many inserts. Definitely hemp is the way to go. Much more absorbent than other fabrics and most are blended with cotton so there is no need to top it for improved absorption.

These are made to use with just a cover. Like flip cover or thirsties duo covers. You could use then with a pocket diaper but it would be very bulky. They are made to be able to touch the baby's skin.

I never used a cover. The pad itself made for easy clean up if there was a messy diaper. My baby was small during the summer months. If your concerned about the pad being cold for your baby maybe use a receiving blanket while you are changing your baby.

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.

I use them for my toddler, she's not 22lbs yet but she's very active. They are thinner then other cloth diaper prefolds but I just double them up and they work really well with a diaper cover, even the pocket ones if you run out of soakers. Over night I will wrap one of my soakers in a prefold for extra absorbency then tuck it inside the pocket. They will shrink a little in the dryer, I learned that one myself... I don't mind it and it's not impacted their function at all... I found out from my Great Aunt that normally you line dry these though, so keep that in mind. If your wanting something that is more easy to use try looking for a 2 in 1 Diaper Cover with Microfiber Soaker Inserts. I purchased a bunch of those for our child and they are time savers and work very well. The prefolds can even be used into the Pockets of the Diaper Covers if you loose your inserts.

This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/dekor-Diaper-Dekor-Plus-Pail/dp/B001ELYAG4/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1399419831&sr=8-9&keywords=Dekor+Plus It says "580 newborn baby diapers"??? Which is not nearly the case if you do cloth diapers. I don't know about disposables, but with cloth we can barely fit 15-20 dirty diapers.

I bought the Boppy covers. It's pretty much a standard size pad. I think the Babies R us or Buy Buy Baby brands would work as well.

I used cloth diapers from babies are us. But older babies produce more urine so you will have to get used to changing them as soon as they wet themselves.

You can go to the duo website for more info... But you need a cover and then one of these. Depending on how much your little one pees you may need to double up with a trifold-I did. By about 17 lbs we had outgrown this size and ended up switching to 7th generation disposable diapers.

These are a cover for a cloth diaper. If these are all you are wearing probably not. If you are wearing a cloth diaper under these, then yes. But as with all diapers leaks happen. These are just thin vinyl, there are better ones on market that would do a better job at leak protection when used with diapers, but cost much more. Also there are all sorts of cloth diapers, some called all-in-ones(which include a waterproof outer cover).
