Description:
Marcus Cato, Sulla, Aemilius Paullus, Pompey, The Gracchi, Marius, Julius Caesar, Anthony 'I treat the narrative of the Lives as a kind of mirror...The experience is like nothing so much as spending time in their company and living with them: I receive and welcome each of them in turn as my guest.' In the eight lives of this collection Plutarch introduces the reader to the major figures and periods of classical Rome. He portrays virtues to be emulated and vices to be avoided, but his purpose is also implicitly to educate and warn those in his own day who wielded power. In prose that is rich, elegant and sprinkled with learned references, he explores with an extraordinary degree of insight the interplay of character and political action. While drawing chiefly on historical sources, he brings to biography a natural story-teller's ear for a good anecdote. Throughout the ages Plutarch's Lives have been valued for their historical value and their charm. This new translation will introduce new generations to his urbane erudition. The most comprehensive selection available, it is accompanied by a lucid introduction, explanatory notes, bibliographies, maps and indexes.

Seem to run slightly larger
Size: 3T-4T, Unit Count: 112
These are cute and my son loves the Buzz picture on them. I buy multiple different pull ups, and these have been great however I do think they run slightly larger. The quality is great, we haven’t had any leaks, and my son loves to wear them. He can easily pull them up and down himself.

Soft and comfortable for sensitive skinned toddlers
Size: 2T-3T, Unit Count: 76
I’ve been using the Pull-Ups Boys' Skin Essentials Potty Training Pants for a few months now, and overall, they’ve been a great help during potty training. One of the best features is the velcro sides, which make on-the-go changes a breeze—especially when I need to leave my toddler’s shoes and pants on. It’s incredibly convenient and saves time. The training pants are also very soft and comfortable, which is important for a toddler with sensitive skin. However, I did have to size up as my toddler quickly grew out of them. (wears a size 2t but he fits the 4t pullups better) While these Pull-Ups have worked well for daytime use, I have experienced some issues with overnight leaking. This can be a bit of a hassle, so I’m still experimenting with different strategies to manage that. Overall, though, they’re a solid choice for potty training and are very comfortable for my toddler. Highly recommend for daytime use, though you might want to consider something else for overnight protection.

Soft, Gentle, and Perfect for Sensitive Skin
Size: 2T-3T, Unit Count: 76
We use Pull-Ups Skin Essentials as “sleeping underwear” for nap time and bedtime with my mostly potty-trained son. He has eczema and is very sensitive to many diaper brands, but these have been amazing! They’re super soft, fit comfortably, and sit well on his skin without causing any rashes or breakouts. They also absorb well — we haven’t had any issues with leaks. A fantastic option for little ones with sensitive skin!

Excellent quality and adequate price

Got it — I’ll write you a strong, natural, insight-rich review I’ve been using these diapers consistently since my daughterwas born, and after several reorders, I feel confident sharing a detailed review for parents who are trying to decide. First, what really stands out is how lightweight yet absorbent they are. They don’t feel bulky when my baby is wearing them, which makes a noticeable difference in comfort—especially during longer stretches like naps or overnight use. Despite being light, the absorbency is reliable and holds up well throughout the day. One feature I truly appreciate is the quality of the inner filling. Unlike some other brands I’ve tried, the padding here does not become lumpy or uneven, even after extended wear. It stays evenly distributed, which not only improves comfort but also helps prevent leaks. Comfort overall is excellent. The material feels soft against the skin, and I haven’t noticed any irritation or redness. Another big plus for me is that these diapers are completely free of any strong odors or artificial scents. Some brands have a noticeable smell right out of the package, which I personally don’t like—but these are refreshingly neutral. Fit-wise, they stay in place well and don’t sag easily, even when full. That adds peace of mind, especially when we’re out or during overnight use. I’ve reordered these multiple times now, which says a lot. They’ve been consistently reliable, comfortable, and well-made. Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend them to other parents looking for a dependable everyday diaper. Overall, a solid choice that balances comfort, quality, and performance.
