Sometimes, they disguise the price increase by changing packaging to provide less product for the same price. They think we won’t notice, but we do. But if we need the product, we have no choice.
BTW, re diapers, one way to avoid the duopoly is to use cloth diapers and a diaper service. Support the local business, and keep “disposable” diapers out of the landfill.

Yes! They've been doing this with food for decades. You can't get a 1/2 or 1 lb. can of anything any more, or a 1 lb frozen bag of veggies, they're all 7oz, 14 oz, 28oz... If you have an old recipe that calls for 8 oz or 12 oz of something, you often have to buy two things. Even worse, put a tiny little big inside a cardboard package twice the necessary size. I made that mistake recently, forgetting about this type of dishonesty, so I didn't read the label and paid way too much for way too few crackers.
