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.

There is a difference in the sides, but my regret about this mattress is that being both firm and coated in plastic makes it not very cozy. In hindsight I would have purchased the quilted Naturepedic mattress and then used my American Baby Company Organic Waterproof Quilted Crib and Toddler Pad Cover, because that cover works great to keep the mattress dry and then you wouldn't have to have the uncomfortable plastic.

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.

No the snappy cover is the diaper cover. These are pocket diapers; I recommend watching some YouTube vids on pocket diapers to understand how they work.

any kind of insert/cloth diaper will work with this cover. Thirsties has their own inserts you can buy, but I just bought a couple packs of unbleached cloth diapers (the original cloth diapers our mothers used) that I use with these covers. Once the cloth diaper is wet, you can change out for a new one, but use the same cover and just wipe out until it is dirty (from, say, a poo explosion). These covers are just an upgraded version of old plastic covers that were the only thing available 30 yrs ago to go over the cloth. I hope that clears it up!

Well I have never used it for diapers but it does work very well and you could save some money using grocery bags for sure. Its not an airtight seal but also not a loose one.

I use Rumparooz and Therties Covers. My favorites are the Therties because they are thinner and softer. Rumpareoz look better quality and looks they are going to las t for ever but they are bit smaller and thicker in the elastic leaving some red marks, nothing bad nor painfull. It doesn't seem to bother my baby though he looks more comfy in Therties and they look they are going to fit longer. I don't have leaks in earher one. If it's heavy wetter you can use a Thertie doubler on top and it also gives a stay dry feeling.

I have the same question. Based on the difference in price, I think one is a size 2 (post birth) single pack and the other is a two-pack. That's my best guess but I would love an answer to this question too.

These are waterproof vinyl pants to go over cloth diapers, they also make waterproof nylon pants which is more durable. However, the vinyl is cheaper and in my opinion they work well too.

Yep, that's what the size one is for. They worked great! Used the snaps up front to shorten the diaper. I did however use the version with the velcro closures Look up "Thirsties Duo Wrap" and leave out the word "snap". I like the velcro ones better than the snap one's because you have more flexibility in where to fit the diaper closure making for a better fit. Plus if your baby is really tiny at first you can overlap the two sides for a snug fit.

I can only answer for the size 2 Thirsties - which the label says is for 9-36 months:18-40 pounds. Flat this measures 12.75" width by 15" in length. When folded these are 4" in width. I bought them as an insert for my adult sister who is disabled and incontinent as an insert for washable diapers. The Thirsties have worked wonderfully for over 2 years.

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.

Hello. Alva pocket diapers can be used as a cover over a diaper but must be washed after each use as the lining will get wet and soiled. They are mainly used as pocket diapers. The have a pocket in the middle for stuffing with absorbent material such as cotton, microfiber, hemp or bamboo.

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.

we order the flat fold Birdseye diapers for Lutheran world relief not the prefold ones so I couldn't tell you anything about the prefold ones. Sorry.

I have used some knock-off, no-name cover and another brand I can't think of but wouldn't recommend because of snagging. Any adjustable snap cover should work. However, I have a kissaluvs pull-on wool diaper that is amazing with this. If you can handle the special care and expense that is a stay dry AND comfy all night combo that is excellent.

One side is paper...they are similar to what is used at a dentist office to protect your clothing...plastic on one side to prevent wetness going all the way through but a paper towel like feeling on the top that would touch the baby...
