Longer drying time than prefolds. AI2 means "All-in-Two". The absorbency part also called the diaper, insert or soaker - too many names for the same thing! The absorbency usually connects to the cover with snaps. Snap the absorbency to the cover and put it on baby all at once - as if it were an all-in-one. You can often change just the absorbency part and re-use the cover part through a few changes.
Pros - very easy to put on the baby as if it were one piece. Unsnaps for easier washing and drying. AIO means All-in-One. It's a one-piece diaper. The diaper part absorbency and the cover part waterproof part are already sewn together. They go on baby all at once with no folding or stuffing. Pocket diapers are a diaper over with a sewn in second layer of fabric, usually a polyester stay-dry fleece fabric inside but some are cotton inside.
It does not have it's own absorbency built in like All-In-One diapers do. Instead you have to stuff it with an insert. The insert can be anything absorbent.
Common inserts are polyester polyamide also called microfiber. Alternative inserts are made of natural fibers, such as cotton or hemp inserts, prefolds or flat diapers. Cons - They have to be stuffed ahead of time. They have to be unstuffed after each use before washing. A cover is used over a diaper that doesn't already have a waterproof layer. TPU means thermoplastic laminate and it is the technically correct name to use.
It all heat bonded not chemically bonded. They both mean "regular diaper cover fabric". Cons - technically breathable although it's hard to tell that it is breathable in real life, synthetic materials. Wool can be used over an absorbent diaper that doesn't have a waterproof layer instead of a regular waterproof TPU cover.
Wool both absorbs and stops moisture from coming out onto clothes. Wool is an amazing fabric. First, determine your dedication to cloth. This will help you decide if you want to invest in a full time system, or just give cloth a try. If you just want to give cloth a try, get 2 covers, a half dozen or a dozen diapers and a pack of wipes.
Here is a sample order for someone who just wants to give cloth a try. Prefer snap closing diapers? Get the Give it a Try Kit. But if you "just know" that you want to use cloth, then you should purchase a full system up front, before the baby is born.
So if that is you, then determine your budget. Here are some ideas of what to buy:. The pail liner and the wipes are used for a very long time, so it makes sense to buy them right away.
The diapers fit from about 9 pounds to about 5 months or 15 pounds. But the diapers will be big for the first 6 weeks on a typical newborn - but since size novice light green are 2 layers less in the center than the size small yellow edge prefolds are, it is easier to fold them down in back so they'll fit on a newborn.
You can make it work if it's important to save money by skipping size newborn, but really to get a good fit on an average newborn, you need newborn prefolds. On a large newborn, birthweight of about 9 lbs 3 ounces or larger, do start with either size novice or size small prefolds and skip newborn.
You need doublers anyhow at some point, so pick up a pack or two of doublers. Thirsties Duo size 1 snap or Cloth-eez Wrap size 1 are a great choices for the covers because they adjusts down to very small and up to around 15 pounds without being as huge and unwieldy as the so-called one-size-fits-all choices that really just don't fit a newborn baby and wear out before potty learning anyhow.
Add 2 individual size XL Toddler green edge prefold diapers as your washable changing pads. If interested add a Snappi Fastener. Don't forget to add your free pins and The free 16 page How-to Booklet which is a treasure-trove of information about washing diapers.
If you forget to add the booklet to your cart, we will still send a 2 page shorter version with your order called the Quick Start Guide. With the adjustable rise you will only need two sizes from birth to potty. Leg gussets provide advanced leak-proof protection and bindings are super-soft against your baby's skin. Whether your baby is tall or short, thin or chunky, this cover will keep those messes contained!
The inside of Duo Wraps can be wiped clean between uses allowing for fewer wraps in rotation and greater affordability. We recommend one cover for every diapers in rotation.

Verified purchases. Easy Diapering 5 out of 5 stars. GKAT - 6 months ago , Verified purchaser. These wraps have been great for us.
Being able to switch out the liner when wet and replace is so much faster and easier for us and easier for laundry purposes. These are easy to pack in the diaper bag and for travel. Great quality. The stargazer design is more muted than I thought it was going to be but still cute. Should I fasten my prefolds with pins or Snappi before covering with your cover? This is due to the fact that the diapers are made from a knit material, and the pins and snappis can damage the fabric.
Thus we do not recommend using the Diaper Cover with the Duo Hemp Prefolds, as these covers are not trim fitting enough to hold the prefold in place without fastening. When using Thirsties Duo Wraps, you can simply trifold the prefold, lie it in the Wrap, and fasten around your baby. Thirsties Duo Wraps are trimmer fitting than our original Diaper Covers and will hold a trifolded prefold in place without shifting and sagging.
The flap is a facing and is designed to cover the stitching holes and snaps on the front of the cover. Tucking a diaper beneath the flap may cause wicking through the holes created by the stitches or snaps. If this does happen, you may also need additional absorbency. We do occasionally come across a slightly defective diaper or cover. When we do, we list it in our Outlet Store. All the diapers listed in our outlet store are fully functional, but contain a very small blemish such as a slight mis-stitch.

Please visit our Care and Use for instructions on how to wash your Thirsties products. Yes - All Thirsties diapering products must be prepped before use by washing and drying at least once. Thirsties natural fiber diapers need to be washed and dried 3 times before use but keep in mind that they will be fully primed and at their maximum absorbency after 8 wash cycles.
Tip: You may wash your natural fiber diapering products with your other white laundry for the prep cycles, as long as you use a cloth diaper safe detergent.
We advise pre-washing your cloth diapers in warm water. Water temperature in your washing machine depends mostly on your hot water heater settings.
Alternatively, you can use a candy thermometer to check the water temperature in your machine. Add a second warm rinse after the wash cycle. Warning: Please do not use the sanitize on your High Efficiency machine for any diapering products with elastic, hook and loop products, or lamination. The high temperatures can damage these components and can void your warranty on them.
Sanitize cycles are fine for natural fiber diapers or inserts without components, such as prefolds, inserts, and doublers. Hard water solutions Hard water has a lot of minerals in it, namely calcium and magnesium.
Hard water may present itself as a grainy, dark buildup on faucets in your home. To determine the hardness of your city water, you can call your city water department. If you have a well or other source, you can go to a local pet shop for a water hardness test kit. Here are some options to combat hard water:. Diaper Rash A diaper rash is inflamed skin. It can be very alarming for parents, although usually more of an annoyance to baby! Causes can include dirty diapers, introduction of new foods, irritation from product ingredients, bacterial or yeast infections, teething, and clothes or diapers that are too tight.
Diaper free time is important! Our first recommendation would be our very own Booty Love diaper ointment. It can also be used to aid in the healing of minor cuts, burns and skin irritations. You may also use Coconut Oil or Olive Oil in place of a diaper ointment.
If you do need to treat your diapers after a yeast or bacterial infection, please e-mail us at support thirstiesbaby. There is nothing like a smelly problem diaper to deter parents from using cloth diapers. It can be very frustrating, but the problem is normally very easy to fix. Please go through the causes below to find a solution.
