Thirsties diapers are a brand of cloth diaper made using polyester, hemp, and cotton to provide for optimum absorption and containment. These pocket-style diapers are called Duo Diapers because they have openings on each side of the diaper between the microfleece and waterproof layers. With these hemp diapers there is no need to extract the soiled inserts--the agitation of the washing machine will cause the inner sections to separate from the waterproof outer layer.

The diapers come in 8 different colors and 4 print selections. The waterproof outer covering is made of polyester with a urethane coating. The Thirsties product line also includes a diaper cover, a waterproof Duo Wrap, the Fab Fitted diaper, (which is not waterproof, but can be used with the diaper covers and Duo Wraps when protection is needed) and prefold diapers and inserts for use with their various systems. http://www.thirstiesbaby.com/products.htm

Thirsties Inc. is a company that manufactures cloth diapers and accessories. Its president is Erin Kemmett and its focus is making innovative diapers with as small a carbon footprint as possible. The business was begun in 2004 when Erin began cutting and sewing her own diapers in her house in Denver, Co. The next step came in 2005 and comprised moving into a house in Cannon City that had a large RV garage/workshop because she couldn’t afford warehouse space in Denver. The most recent move was to purchase a dilapidated building with fantastic architecture that was originally a feed store built in the 1920s and having it restored to usability and beauty. In the company’s steps to become greener and reduce their carbon footprint the building has been converted to solar power. The company is also committed to using components that have been made or grown in the United States.

Thirsties diapers are available online at many retail sites as well as the Thirsties website. http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS354US360&aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=thirsties+diapers http://www.thirstiesbaby.com/ These cloth diapers are also available at a limited number retailers across the country--usually at shops that specialize in the sale of cloth diapers. Finding cloth diaper supplies at major retail chain stores is unlikely.

When making your Thirsties purchase, you may want to consider whether to buy the Duo Diaper or a combination of the Thirsties diaper covers or wraps and the inserts or Fab Fitted Diaper.http://www.thirstiesbaby.com/products.htm
