band-aids
when i say band-aid you think what? a sticky bandage that is a neutral pinkish color, aka ‘fleshtoned’. well, i don’t know how many people have that color of skin, but i know it’s not everyone.
when making a bandage purchase, there are usually a few option - the aforementioned ‘fleshtoned’ band-aid, or children friendly ones in strawberry shortcake, teenage mutant ninja turtles, or the like.
so before going off on the racism of the band-aid brand, i did a little research to find out what band-aid offered - and see that they actually do make a clear band-aid, to ‘blend with skin’. so, they are making an effort….now the stores just need to stock them. and first aid kits always have the old kind…maybe they could give you more of a choice.
or, you can check out this kid’s collection for some more fun bandaids next time you scrape yourself.
