Thirsties Duo Diaper Review and Giveaway {Closed}


I absolutely love love love the Duo Diaper, I had to rave about it here! It combines the ease and convenience of a pocket diaper with the leak proof protection of the Thirsties Fab Fitted and Duo Wrap. Thirsties sent us one Duo Diaper in size two to try on our 11 month old, 19 pound baby girl.



FIT: I have tried one-size diapers and while they are OK, they will always be a little big on a newborn and a little small on a two year old. The Duo Diaper solves that issue with two perfect sizes. Size one fits 6-18 pounds and size two is for 18-40 pounds. The size two fits our 19 pound girl perfectly with the second snap setting, she has chubby thighs :) With just two Duo Diapers you are essentially getting six sizes that grow with your baby.




PERFORMANCE: The Duo Diaper is just amazing when it comes to absorbency and leak prevention, I can't emphasize that enough! To illustrate, I save this diaper for when we leave the house because it is consistent and never fails. No matter what kind of mess might be inside that diaper, it stays inside the diaper. Many other cloth diapers have a similar pocket design, but fleece that is sewn to the very edge of the inside leg opening. When the fleece is wet at the edges and makes contact with clothing it often gets the clothes wet. The fleece inside the Duo Diaper on the other hand stops short of the edges and the leg gusset prevents any leakage. I think this is genius! While with other cloth diapers we've had a leak or two, we've had none with the Duo Diaper. I am so in love with it that I dream of replacing all of our diapers with these... Probably not in this lifetime :)




EASE OF USE: The Duo Diaper is really easy to use and wash. The velcro makes it as easy and convenient as disposables, a lot cuter for sure though! The babysitter or hubby will not mind this one at all. Because it is a pocket diaper it also dries a lot faster than an AIO (all in one) or the Thirsties Fab Fitted. I also like that when I throw them in the wash I don't need to secure two sets of velcro tabs like on the Fab Fitted and Duo Wrap.




VALUE: Here is what I really love about the Duo Diaper: just two sizes from birth to potty. That results in a perfect fit both on a newborn and a toddler and only two sizes. Now if you have several babies back to back this is perfect because when one size is outgrown by a toddler it can be passed on to the next baby. Talk about getting the biggest bang for your buck!


The Duo Diaper costs $18.50, which is about average for cloth diapers - but this is not your average diaper, so consider it a really great deal! Plus it comes with a microfiber and a hemp insert so you can customize absorbency as needed. By the way, these diapers are made in the US!




Thirsties is generously giving away one Duo Diaper to an Eco-Babyz reader!

  45. I would be ridiculously boring and go with white. I haven't taken the plunge with the whole clothe diaper thing because it all just seems too confusing... how am I supposed to know what size, what inserts, which brands... there are too many choices, I need something simpler. Just 2 sizes from birth to pottie makes it all much easier, this is perfect!

  52. I learned that Thirsties' new hemp jersey is like no other on the market.They have a knitter right here in the USA to custom knit the hemp textile to their specifications. So the hemp is thicker, softer, and holds-up better than any other on the market .
