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.

The differences are pretty minor. There is an improved splashguard to prevent dirt getting in the trailer. The straps that secure the cover shut have been made stronger, and there is now a divider between the cargo pocket in the rear and the childs footwell so objects don't roll forward. Besides those minor changes the product is the same.

I have not compared the two, They stay cold for a couple of days or longer if more are used together. The outer layer seems to be durable but they still seep some of the liquid material. I bought some 2 gallon ziplock freezer bags and put one sheet in each ziplock bag. Got rid of most of the sticky.

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.

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.

Interesting question. Made by the same company and same description. Appears the Wine Diaper is slightly larger. I have only used the Jet Bag. Have reused one bag a number of times. It holds a bottle of wine easily, and the square bottle of Bombay gin. Since I have used one bag a number of times the press and seal top doesn't feel trustworthy to me so I put the whole thing into another plastic bag. If I was carrying a larger bottle of liquor then the Wine Diaper might be the better choice. Hopefully someone who has actually used both will respond to your question. I have made a number of airplane trips with the Jet Bag in my checked suitcase (in the middle of my clothing) and have not had an accident yet to test the absorbent material.

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.

They are more bulky so they can hold more liquid, but I do not find them uncomfortable. The shields are thin but only good for dribbles not serious leakage. The guards are better than diapers if urine is your only issue. I have had them leak when I have more larger liquid quantity but I still like them the best. Easy to change and insert a dry one.

They need to be purchased seperate. This is just the PUL cover which you need to put over something absorbent. You can buy inserts that snap or any other type of absorbent diaper. I personally use prefolds and fitteds inside mine.

Yes, quite well! With cotton pre-folds, I sometimes find that my son's skin is wet when I change his diaper. These leave his skin feeling as dry as it would be in a disposable!

I only used them at night, but for a younger baby (up until about 8 months). I just slipped it over his diaper and it helped prevent leaks onto his pajamas when he had a very full diaper. As he got older and went up in diaper size, his diapers were able to hold the liquid he produced, so I didn't need the vinyl covers anymore.

Yes! They are cheaper, smell better and are easy to hang on the diaper bag, I LOVE them.

Any kind. They just lay on top of whatever kind of diaper you use. This liner would be between your baby's skin and diaper. They just make it way easier to change a poopy diaper.

There are two different types of diapers, one is bamboo, one is hemp. I believe the hemp is more expensive and possibly more absorbent, but the bamboo is so soft.

I tried that at first but found it was unnecessary. I just fold the cloth to fit the cover and snap the cover over it. I paired with the thirsties snap cover and have been diapering this way for 18mo.

There are two snaps on each side. But they are only in a single row. So they go horizontally they are not vertical. There are rise snap so you can adjust for a smaller or larger babies and there's two settings but three snaps vertically. As to the Velcro versus snaps: for ease of use I always find myself grabbing Velcro first. It just is so much easier to get the perfect fit, and it's just easy. Except you do have to remember to use the laundry tabs when they get yucky so that means when they have poop on them and you want to just put it in your diaper bin you have to remember to fold the tabs and which kind of sucks, and my husband always forgets. Another downside to the Velcro is they really will not last as long as snaps. I have not looked into it but there's a lot of videos on how to supposedly, easily, repair the Velcro. I have repaired elastic on my diapers and it's pretty straightforward so that should be similar. That being said I prefer to buy snaps, with the hopes that they will last longer. On some of our diapers I've noticed even after only two months of use, and using the laundry tabs, that the Velcro just isn't the same. that worries me. With my first child we got by with only snaps and it was just fine. Hope that helps!

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.
