Thirsties' mission is to make it easy and attainable for every family to choose cloth while simultaneously investing in the local economy and sustainable business practices. Thirsties launched in 2004, and all Thirsties products are USA-made! Thirsties uses the best USA-sourced components in order to reduce their carbon footprint, and they are working towards their goal of becoming carbon neutral as well!
I have had the pleasure of reviewing two of Thirsties' Duo Diapers!
I was sent a size one for Annabelle, and a size two for Nolyn.
Size one is meant to fit babies 6-18lbs, size two is 18-40lbs. The Duo Diaper is a sized diaper, it also has an adjustable rise, so you can get the trimmest fit.
The Thirsties Duo Diaper is a pocket diaper. The Duo Diaper comes with two inserts that snap to one another, microfiber terry and hemp combo. There are openings in both the front, and back, of the diaper. This makes it very easy to ensure that the insert is flat and will be comfortable for baby. The sleeve style also makes cleaning easier, you do not need to remove the inserts before washing as they will agitate out of the diaper while in the wash.
My first thoughts: Sooo pretty! I love the eye popping colors!
I have to say, I love knowing that a product has been made in the USA. I don't refuse to purchase or use products made elsewhere, but it is an awesome bonus to know something is made in the USA. If there are two products I like equally the same, I will choose the one made in the US before one that was made elsewhere.
Trying it out:
Annabelle was not a happy camper here, and not up for modeling her pretty little diaper. However, as you can see, it fits her very well! My little miss is a skinny little girl. The hook-and-loop closure really makes for a custom fit each time.
Nolyn's diaper fit very well too. I didn't catch a snapshot of him wearing his (maybe I will update at some point), but so far the Thirsties Duo Diaper is by far the best fitting for our 2 year old boy.
My husband LOVES these diapers. These are the Daddy diaper in our house. If our Thirsties Duo Diapers are clean, they are what Dad grabs every time!
We haven't used these diapers (or any cloth diaper, for that matter) overnight as of yet, but we have used them during naps and I am happy to report that we have had no leakage- of either type! These diapers also come clean so easily! I thought for sure Annabelle stained her Duo Diaper pretty badly the other day, but to my surprise the diaper still looks as pretty as the day we got it! The micro-fleece that protects baby's bottom from wetness also resists staining!
I love that the Duo Diapers are very absorbent! The hemp-jersey (5 serged layers of it) can hold a TON of liquid. The only bad thing about this....it takes a long time for this insert to dry.
Speaking of the laundry process...I love that the Duo Diaper has laundry tabs. Once you take the diaper off, simply fold the hook-and-loop closure over onto the laundry tabs inside the wings. This not only saves the hook-and-loop, but your other laundry as well!
