Family Pack

We have been using Luvs diapers for most of Emma's life. We did try some others first before settling on Luvs though. We like the diapers, but there is one thing about them which I find a bit odd. We buy the case that has two packages of diapers in them. They call this the "family pack." I find that term a bit odd for a box of diapers. It's not like the whole family is using the diapers. At least I would hope that would not be the case. In the event that a family had more than one child in diapers, they likely would not be wearing the same size, unless they are twins, or children of some other multiple birth.

Another thing that bothers me about the packaging is the claim that the Family Pack has "2 times more diapers . . . than Jumbo Pack." The Jumbo Pack of Luvs size 5 diapers has 30 diapers, and the Family Pack has 70. If the Family Pack had 2 times more diapers than the Jumbo Pack, it would have 90 diapers. Two times 30 is 60, and since the box says "2 times more," not "2 times as many," it should have 60 plus 30, or 90, diapers. Perhaps I should write a letter to the makers of Luvs to bring this mistake to their attention

You really do have too much time on your hands and only you would notice that there are not "two times more diapers."

We like you anyway and wouldn't want you any different.
