Band-Aids Were For One Skin Color.

Hate to tell you hon, but they don't disappear on most of us caucasians either. I think there are probably only a few people in the world who have that same skin color, and great for them, but the rest of us just have to deal with it. Course, when I was a kid, we often bought the ones with cartoon characters and such on them. It was considered a badge of honor to have bandaids all over you. Now days I get the cloth ones because they seem to stick better. They're way darker than my skin, but fortunately I don't have to use them as often as I did back then!

I had a friend in high school who loved to wear bandaids precisely because she new it did not match her skin tone. She thought it was funny and loved to see the look on other people's faces when the realized. If they did not notice she was sure to make it obvious. She was a real character and she made people laugh.

it is entirely possible, now that you mention it, but on a brighter note at least people are given a wider choice of band aid colours and patterns to choose from, such as plain transcluscent ones, to those patterned with cartoon characters and such

I am caucasian and I never thought about it and I guess you right. I think they make clean bandaids but they are not truley clear. Have you seen the colored wrap that is purple, red, pink and other colors? I Love them they stand out on anyone with any skin tone.

Rozie, I apologize for not ever noticing your point before now. You're right, of course. We've advanced to making very bright, colorful and fun bandaids for children to wear but we have yet to make them so anyone can wear them without them being noticeable. I dont' know why but if you want to do something about that I will support it, even being a caucasian.
