The family user is in a fictional interview between the characters chief reporter Kurt Rosner and headmistress Bartels characterized by Mrs. Bartels as follows:

“It's an article that is appealing because of its pleasant shape, right? It is elegant, weatherproof, noiseless, skin-friendly, easy to care for, completely functional and - for an extra charge - also removable. A gift that brings joy, for the gentleman, for the lady, for the child, right? "
