Many parents who use cloth diapers use cloth wipes as well.  I’ve had several people ask me, “why not just use washcloths?”.  Well you could do that, but why would you want to use boring old washcloths when you can use something much better?

Thirsties Fab Wipes

  Most cloth wipes are made with materials other than what a typical washcloth is made from; terrycloth.  Some are made with organic cotton, bamboo, cotton flannel and many other combinations.  Cloth wipes can be made in all kinds of sizes, though typical size is 8” x 8”.  They can be made with one material or two, as many cloth wipes are two pieces of material to help with the messiest of bottoms.

  You don’t just have to have boring old white or solid colors either. Many cloth wipes come in a variety of fun patterns, especially those made by WAHM (work at home moms).  Some green parents get sets with different patterns on them so they can keep straight with ones are used for faces and which for bottoms.

GroVia Wipes

  At Crackerjack’s we have mostly plain cloth wipes, but some are the softest material I’ve felt in a long time, like the Thirsties Fab Wipes.  We also have unbleached cotton terry wipes by Kissaluvs.  For those that want another option we have 100% cotton wipes by GroVia.

  If you are looking for hand made wipes in fun patterns you should look on Hyena Cart or Diaper Swappers.  Those two sites promote WAHM’s and you can get some great deals on super cute wipes.

Today Crackerjack’s Underpants is featuring a cloth diaper cover that is outstanding in its durability and function. This diaper cover will hold up to hundreds of washings and diaper changes. With its super leg gussets and back elastic; it can hold in even the runniest of newborn poos and avoids the “blowout”.

Thirsties Duo Wrap- Orchid

 The feature product today is the Thirsties Duo Wrap. This cover made here in the USA by Thirsties is an improvement on the Thirsties v2 covers that have been popular for years. The Duo Wrap is an adjustable cover that instead of being just one size fits all, it has two sizes to fit most babies from birth to potty training. The size 1 Duo Wrap fits babies 6-18lbs. and the size 2 Duo Wrap fits infants and toddlers from 18- 40lbs.!

The Thirsties Duo Wrap has comfy casings around all the elastic so that it doesn’t leave “red marks” on your baby’s legs or back. Yet this elastic is so strong that it contains everything! This cover is roomy too, making it a perfect cover for even the most fluffy of cloth diapers.

Thirsties Duo Wrap Snap- Blackbirds

The Duo Wrap adjusts the rise with snaps on the front and the leg openings adjust with a wrap over style aplix (Velcro). This is a very adjustable cloth diaper cover! I have seen it on newborns and toddlers and it always seems to fit just right.

The Duo Wrap comes in 7 bold colors, white and 4 prints. It also recently came out in a snap closure too! You can find those here. To find the original aplix closure, look here.

So if you want a cost effective, durable, bulletproof cloth diaper cover, you need the Thirsties Duo Wrap. You can find these and other cloth diaper covers at Crackerjack’s Underpants.

Here at Crackerjack’s Underpants I like to feature a product that I think is above and beyond the normal greatness of regular cloth diapers.  I haven’t personally used this product on my daughter, as she is 3yrs. old and potty trained, but I have had lots of feedback on it and I’m getting rave reviews from mamas all over!

Thirsties Hemp Duo Prefold

 Today’s featured product is made right here in the USA- I don’t just mean it is assembled here, I mean the entire product and all it’s components are made here!  This product is phenomenal!!! It will make your cloth diapering life easier and it is super sturdy, so it will stand up to abuse.

  What you say is this lovely product?  It is the Thirsites Duo Hemp Prefold.  This prefold out does other cotton Prefolds by absorbing 25% more wetness!  It is super trim making those cloth diapers fit better under clothing.  Plus it is made with the softest hemp jersey that stays super soft wash after wash!

  Hemp has natural anti-bacterial properties that make this diaper easier to clean.  The Thirsties Duo Hemp Prefold allows for good airflow and each panel is only 2 layers thick, making it a healthy but trim fit.  These work wonderfully with the Thirsties Duo Wraps.

 By purchasing this cloth diaper you are helping fellow Americans, because the entire product from start to finish is made in Colorado, USA.  So please consider purchasing these fabulous Thirsties Duo Hemp Prefolds!
