Review Credibility: Excellent Porter reviews Thirsties Duo diapers based on more than 50 parent surveys and compares the Duo to other pocket diapers. Ultimately, the Duo is deemed best for chunky babies and earns the respect of cloth-diapering skeptics. The leg gussets and insert design also earn praise, but reviewers dislike the Aplix closures. Reviewers say the Duo is easy to wash and stuff.

Review Credibility: Very Good Blogger Kimball reviews 25 different diapers from 21 brands, scoring them on a 30-point scale. As she notes, her experiences are limited to her own household and baby. She likes the Thirsties Duo double gussets, which hold in bowel movements well. However, the diaper does leak sometimes with just urine, she says. She likes having two openings for inserts, which makes the diaper faster to stuff and eliminates the need for unstuffing before washing. However, that also means liners may shift and allow leaks. The diaper started to look worn quickly, she says, giving it 20 points.

Review Credibility: Very Good Thirsties Duo diapers earn 4 out of 5 stars in nearly 50 reviews on Amazon. Reviews are skewed lower due to some complaints about Amazon's shipping. Owners like having two options for inserts and say the adjustability, comfort and ease of use are ideal. They also like the cute colors and double gussets, which contain runnier messes. Some owners complain of leaks and say the Aplix closures show wear easily. Others say the hemp inserts take a long time to dry, and some find the sizing a bit off.
