Details 

Thirsties Duo Diapers are easy to use and even easier on your wallet! The adjustable rise of this nappy design means one size will last twice as long. In fact, you'll only need two sizes to cover your baby from birth all the way to potty-learning!  

Similar in feel and fit to their best selling Duo Wrap, Thirsties Duo Diapers are completely waterproof yet remain breathable, pliable, and very comfortable for your baby's delicate skin. The ultra-soft microfleece liner on the inside protects baby's skin from wetness and also resists staining. The handy sleeve design features openings on both sides of the nappy between the microfleece and waterproof layer. The duo openings featured in Thirsties Duo Diaper enable easy insert stuffing from either side of the nappy and also make for easy cleaning. There is no need to remove the soiled inserts when washing - your hands will remain clean! Simply toss your soiled Thirsties Duo Diaper in the laundry and the inserts will agitate free from the nappy in the washing machine. 

Thirsties Duo Inserts provide double the duty as well! Thirsties' specialty inserts feature two layers of overlocked microfibre terry snapped together with five overlocked layers of hemp jersey; seven thirsty layers in all! Microfibre terry is a fast absorber designed to rest closest to your baby's skin (beneath the microfleece sleeve); hemp is a stable absorber and pairs perfectly behind the microfibre terry to add more absorbency and to prevent compression leaking. 

By the way...did you know that Thirsties' new hemp jersey is like no other on the market!?! They have found a knitter right there in the USA where Thirsties is based, to custom knit the hemp textile to their specifications. You will find this hemp is thicker, softer, and holds-up better than any other on the market.

Plus, Thirsties Duo Diapers are a cinch to use...even for the occasional caretaker. Simply stuff the insert in the sleeve of the nappy and wrap around your baby. The durable hook-and-loop closures of Thirsties Duo Diaper provide a perfect and secure fit at every nappy change. Thirsties' signature leg gussets provide advanced leak-proof protection and our bindings are super soft against your baby's skin. Both Duo sizes offer convenient fold-over laundry tabs to protect your hook-and-loop closures from trapping lint in the wash.   

Each of the two sizes of Thirsties Duo Diaper feature three rows of snaps to adjust the rise to your baby's shape; it really is like having THREE sizes in one. Pairing such adjustability in rise with their signature leg gussets make this nappy the most versatile on the market. Whether your baby is tall or short, thin or chunky, this cover will keep those messes contained!

Let's face it...'one-size' options tend to be too big on the average newborn and too small for most toddlers over two years of age. What this means is that the 'one-size' option truly only fits your baby properly when he/she weighs between around 5kg to 16kg. Alas, the nappy label 'one-size' simply does not live up to its claim. Most families purchasing a 'one size' nappy would actually end up purchasing a newborn size, a 'one-size', and a toddler size: THREE sizes from birth to potty! Not ONE.  

Therefore, in the end, Thirsties Duo Diapers are truly the more reliable and more affordable option when compared to a 'one-size' system.

Duo Sizing Options:

In an effort to maximize affordability of cloth nappying, Thirsties created the Duo line. This means all Duo products are available in two sizes which will cover your baby from birth to potty. Each of the two sizes in the Thirsties Duo line feature three rows of snaps to adjust the rise to your baby’s shape; it is like having THREE sizes in one. 

Care & Use 

• Prewash on cold.
• Wash on hot.
•  Double rinse.
•  Line dry or dry in the dryer on low or medium.
• A 15 minute cycle in the dryer on hot once a month is beneficial for the waterproof layer, as well as for strengthening the hold of Aplix fasteners.

Wash your Duo Diaper shells along with the terry portion of the insert once before use. The hemp portion of the insert needs to be washed and dried at least three times before use to rid the fibres of the natural oils. This is done separately from your other diapering products for the first 3 washes. Inserts will be fully primed and at their maximum absorbency after 8 wash cycles. 

Testimonials

"Just wanted to say - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the duo diaper! I think I have tried about every cloth all in one and pocket nappy out there, and the duo diaper was my favourite, and most reliable of the stash. Rarely have I ever had an issue with leaking, which is not my experience with the other nappies we have tried. We almost gave up on using cloth because of leaks until we tried your product. My only suggestion would be to add some new prints. I have the cool stripes and the blackbird one, but would love some new prints to get for my little guy. I get so many compliments on my Thirsties! Thank you for all that you do!" Sonya

 

"The size one nappy and covers fit my daughter perfectly, and are so easy to use (even with a very wiggly baby). Not only are they cost effective, convenient, and super absorbant, but they are super cute. I have actually gotten compliments on her nappy/nappy covers from strangers. I was a little hesitant to put my daughter in a cloth nappy at night, thinking that a disposable nappy would wick the wetness away more efficiently to avoid nappy rash. Boy was I wrong! We have used the duo diaper at night now for the past 8 weeks without a single rash or red mark. In addition, this is the only cloth nappy that hasn't leaked or allowed for a nappy blowout. I can't tell you how happy that has made me!" Sarah

  

"First off love your duo diapers. Love the leg gussets! It's the first nappy to actually contain my daughter's breast fed blow outs. And, no leg leaks which means less washing clothes. They also fit great under her clothes without too much bulk." Mel 

"Thirsties Duo Diapers are my absolute favourite night time nappy! We go 10+ hours at night with no leaks, and the fit is wonderful around the legs and stomach! I am so happy with these nappies! I have two, and I plan to buy more!" Steph
