First-aid products for everyone's skin tones

- This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Band-Aid. One appealing feature has always been the products flesh-tone finish, but whose flesh tone? Just this year, manufacturer Johnson and Johnson decided to expand the colors of the product, similar to the line they released over a decade ago and then scrapped. It's just one example of a movement that includes another maker of first-aid products, putting racial sensitivity first. Michelle Miller reports.
Never knew Band-Aid was only for skin tone. SpongeBob and Spider-Man Band-Aids don't match anyone's skin tone. Better ban them
Who said anyone was banning anything? A grown man may not WANT a spider man bandaid if he received a cut on skin which was exposed. Now everyone can have a bandaid that is camouflage. Isn't that wonderful!?
Stop being ridiculous to help your agenda
Imagine all those people opening the boxes and putting side to side to see it's the right match
Omg whatever. I can’t believe I live in a world where people think bandages color actually matter. Just another thing we have to complain about
onl< the black ones matter....you know... and dont forget to let the wound BREATHE or else... it will scream - i cant breathe-
To be fair that's the original purpose of the classic beige Band-Aid. It was meant to match your skin and be hidden. Of course people stopped caring and made fun Band-Aids that stand out. However if that's the original concept you can't be mad when there's different tones.
@@DeoxysDNA I'm sorry but I missed the part of ANYONE being mad about anything.....Well except white people being mad that Band-aid cares about ALL people's money. So my question is, if you don't plan on buying a multi colored band-aid then why do you care? 🤷🏽♂️
Hey Karen, if you don't like it then don't buy them. The world doesn't revolve around you or your opinion so get over it.
@@phlyerthanyou5387 I feel like you are misinterpreting my comment and stance on this issue completely, so I’m not answering your question lol
People be complaining bout others being sensitive but here you see those same people getting mad at band aid with different colorshades lol. If you don't want it then don't buy it simple as that
Amen
People are being so dense and stubborn in the comments section that they’ve forgotten that some people would rather not have they’re band-aids notice at all. This is a good product idea. Why does that make you so angry ?
Go woke, go broke!
@@rockstarauthority7354 cringe conservative
I know it's probably insensitive, but that's what green and hello kitty bandaids were; bandaids for everyone's skin tone.
No, that's what all bandaids are for regardless of skin tone
@@thecossackcrusaderofholybr8448 The actual name of the average band-aid color is "flesh". Well that color is not everyone's actual flesh, so people who don't share that pigment feel not included. And not everyone wants to wear a green band-aid
@@phlyerthanyou5387 Why does it matter if the the bandaid isn't as white as my skin?
@@thecossackcrusaderofholybr8448if they’re going to make band aids that match some people’s skin, everyone should have that option. Nobody should be made to feel they don’t belong in a society.
they said we would have top of the line tech and cars plus infrastructure.
2020: here colored band aids
A band-aid is a band-aid, me personally wouldn't care. But I can understand why there's a market for this.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life
@@Endocrinology.1955 I really hope you aren't this stupid lol.
@@Endocrinology.1955 So there was such a market for this for years huh? How come President Obama didn't have flesh colored band aids?
@@Endocrinology.1955 l'm black and even l find this dumb
@@Endocrinology.1955 Sure
Why do we have to racially divide everything?
So stupid I swear
Thats the purpose divide and conquer . I just cant believe people dumb enough to fall for it .
1. Races were divided when racism was established in culture.
2. Making ALL people feel special, and normal is NOT dividing anyone.
3. If ANY of this upsets you, then that shows that YOU are the problem.
@phlyerthanyou5387 1. Untrue, there's division within a race, I am part of a "minority" and I see what people call racism among my race BUT if we mistreat someone with a different skin tone THEN we call it racism.
2. Who's gonna feel special with a different skin tone. I'm sure that the manufacturer was thinking on 1 color only, green.
3. As I mentioned it, I am not white, yet I hate it when something gets amplified and we call everything racist or homophobic or misogynistic or any of those terms that are popular but are inaccurate as well.
I'm more than sure kids want a super hero or princess band aid instead of skin tone. It is not being the problem, it's being realistic and see BS and call it out. Nowadays people like this trend of delusion and want to be part of something even if that means lying to themselves.
@@mystomachurts2005exactly, it’s stupid that band aids only existed for white people in the past - very divisive.
@@laurenanderson7330 just like now. Certain cultures can't do what white people can do. What's the point anyway?
Clear is just fine. What's the problem?? Why make a racial issue of something that doesn't need to be??
@@momvaz6613 Yes! Of course! Be safe!
Because it was already a racial issue to begin with by Band-aids NOT being created clear from the start. Sharing isn't racist you silly person.
@@phlyerthanyou5387 Would you share your needle? Oh sorry. You already do. 💉 Make it a great day!
Just make all plasters blue and take the BS out of it
Or........We can take the BS out of society and treat ALL people with dignity and respect. Isn't THAT the point?
Who would've taught band aids where racist
It’s sneaks up on you. Racism is baked in & sneaky.
So much so that many swear it’s a non issue. That they are “color blind.”
The hard truth is that they’ve lived in their privilege so long & unchallenged that they can’t even recognize how prevalent racism actually is.
No one said it was racist. Having multiple skin tone colors of bandaids might help make the bandaid less noticeable
Why don’t they just make all clear band aids? Prob solved.
Kids don't give a crap about the colored band aids. It's all about band aids with Batman, Superman, TMNTs, Pokemon and stuff. Lol I remember growing up getting my first batman band aid at school. What did the other kids do? Play rougher to get more cool band aids lol. We all collected them the ones you didn't want WERE THE SKIN COLOR ONES. Why? Because that was boring. Why not ask the kid what he wants? I bet it will be a band aid with characters on it
Lol we got Batman
Adults use band aids too
Now this is an insult to injury.
Only to racists.
They are millions of people dying but let's give this air time
Take your pick. I don't care what Band-Aid I did as long as I can get something that can stop a cut it'll be fine don't care what color it is and I don't really understand why that color has to mean anything about a freaking bandmate as long as that it stop the blood coming out I don't think it would matter in fact we had regular bandage for a long time and yet everyone was okay about it
Yes but you do remember those pokemon band aids from back in the day right?
@@johnsmith6974 I remember that it was fun for a while
That's because your white and never had to even think about it until now. That's why you don't understand.
Yeah I kinda don’t care. As long as I get my spiderman band aid, I’m fine
Well, why bother commenting then?
Not everyone wants to wear Spider-Man band aids to work.
I had the same experience when I first found a Band-Aid that matched my skin tone. It matched perfectly, and it was not noticeable. I ended up buying four boxes!
No one cares... the only band aids I have in my house are my daughters My Little Pony ones.. I use them anyways
Then good for you. Don't buy them then, Karen.
I'm a dark skinned Asian and this idea is so ridiculous. Never in my life I have thought band-aid should match your skin color. I used to put band aids when I was a kid even though not having a wound, in order to look like my favorite anime character lol.
So what you're saying is you've hated yourself since you've been young. That's very unfortunate. That's why this education is being given. We'll pray for you.
Good for you, but this is honestly so unimportant.
At the end of the day I just need a band aid that covers my wound and sticks well without constantly falling off.But I really like the skin tone band aids as long as it sticks well and helps with healing my wound.
Agreed, but being that I'm 101% sure your Caucasian, what you don't understand is the wound that most children grow up with of NOT feeling included, or feeling like they're not "normal". The average band-aid is camouflage on white skin, where it completely stands out on POC skin. Now it doesn't. Now everyone gets ALL wounds healed.
@@phlyerthanyou5387 I am a dark skinned black man for your info.Stop being extra.The things Ive had said to me by my own ppl is worse than you would believe.
If I had the band aid company I would just make the graffiti and artistic band aids. Lol
But what if you're an adult that doesn't want to wear those?
It’s just getting sillier and sillier.....
How????
First world problems
Yup....A first world with education and rednecks STILL refuse to use it.
The comments section never lets me down...
It takes a nation of millions...
I'm 30 years old. I just want an ironman or batman bandage.
So many haters in the comment section, personally I think this is kinda cool.
Johnson and Johnson. Will also release black baby talcum powder and black formula
They should genetically alter the color of cotton. White cotton with a black Band-Aid? Is that not acceptable??
What if an alien cut his 7th toe falling down of his spaceship on a Target parking lot ????
Hope you guys have some green ones in stock at CVS...
When you find an Alien,I'm sure you'll enslave it and call it racial slurs until it gets it's freedom and 400 years later your future ancestors will be crying about the diverse green Band-aids.
This is dumb. Helps me feel better about myself
You have a haircut like that and you have the audacity to call anything dumb?
Lmao this a certified hood classic
Didnt know it was suppose to be a skin color! Just make everything clear except the square part
That would of been smart from the beginning
How did you not know that? And what colour should the gauze be?
Beautiful. Making children smile after a booboo and crayons matching their skin is awesome!🤗
Well my kids will.always pick the cartoon band
@@anarojas844 What's up controlling parent. Are you that triggered where you now control what BAND-AIDS your children purchase? 🤦🏽♂️ Eventually they will become adults and they will learn how ignorant their parents are IF and only if they become good people
They should genetically alter the color of cotton. White cotton with a black Band-Aid? Is that not acceptable??
Great idea! Let's dye the produce! That will solve stupidity. Why change societies mind set when we can do that!
I love this! And children loves band-aids! Such a "simple" solution to such a big problem. Thumbs up. Big problems often starts small. I always had the band-aids and crayons matching my skin. What would I be if I hadn't been given that? It gave me sense of who I am and that I exist.
When I was growing up I was worried soo much about band aids and not about pokemon cards, and fun stuff.
@@johnsmith6974 You can make fun of me, it's all right. I think this is a step forward. And that makes me happy. That's the point. You shouldn't have to wonder about band-aids as a kid. We grown up should make a better world for the kids of today.
@King Louis Ha ha yes👍😊 lots of things you don't know about me 😉👋
@Mu Ja "Fake" is not the word I think. More like, a lack of awareness and in need for a serious update. It's 2020
Man you're pathetic
I honestly thought they already did this they should have a long time ago
I'm pretty sure that this has been done before.
.... why? 🤷🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️ you people are so hyperracialised, it's AMAZING. I'm not going around thinking “oooh I want a black bandaid” I just want to stop the bleeding 🙄
@@TitaT true
@@harpergrace5846 virtue signalling didn't pan out like you wanted it to ay
Good marketing and quick response to popular movement gets more money in the coffers!
Why not just clear bandages
or just let the wounds be infected or let them bleed out. less idiots... less discussions about racist band aids
I mean, calling the original band aids racist is a bit much, but I understand wanting to have band aids that blend in better with your skin if you want it less noticeable
There is absolutely nothing racist about this.
I'm all for this. Such a small thing that makes a huge difference
That is a good idea. Cool!
What's next a white person with a black bandaid on seeing the doing black face I want racial equality but come on
These will do so well to hide the wounds from hate crime beatings and police brutality. Way to focus on the important stuff first.
What about the transparent one?
You black people always complaining of everything.
My father taught me that you make your name, not your color.
And I am not white, I am Latin American and as long the bandage works it is fine.
Love this!
Is racism solved yet?
Ye. With coloured band aids.
We just need to allow the powers that be to have complete control over human emotions and then racism will be eradicated
These comments. Are truly simple minded individuals voicing their opinion on a subject they don’t understand. Then having the audacity to try to tell others (black ppl) how to feel yet again!!! Then trying to say this is unimportant or irrelevant but sitting and watching the video on RUclips when no one forced you to watch it in the first place (privilege at its finest). Just move along Karen’s it is not even affecting you either way so what’s the issue again??
If i was black i would find it patronising and childish and feel like a special kid in class that needs constant attention and pandering everyday
The dark ones don’t match my color at all
Welcome to America.
I have tears of joy!! I absolutely love all of this!
In this treemap, we use data for 2019 from the Kaiser Family Foundation, which bases its analysis on the latest American Community Survey (ACS) data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Then we break down the same data on a state-by-state basis.
Growing Diversity in America
As of 2019, here is the current distribution of the U.S. population by race and ethnicity:
White: 60.1% (Non-Hispanic)
Hispanic: 18.5%
Black: 12.2%
Asian: 5.6%
Multiple Races: 2.8%
American Indian/Alaska Native: 0.7%
Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander: 0.2%
Company will sell products that caters to the majority and it's not racist or emotional but just smart business sense . So black people should stop wearing flesh tone underwear or brown paper should not be used for grocery shop because it's racist to Hispanic...woke logic is warped ...brown paper is used because it's cheap and natural colour ...it's just economic . All this BS emotional makes you all sound weak ...be confident in your race color and walk proud ..any colour is good if you are righteous honourable and lead a good life and not telling the world how you are affected by colour of band aid ....boo hoo grow up!
so cool.. i didn't even know it was meant to match my black skin till i....
Go Dads!!!!!
Oh i want those crayons!!!
i need dark band aides...since i'm dark... i usually black sharpie or black tape my band aides before... this will make it easier now without the extra work...
“Toby”? Really? I can’t be the only guy, right?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
First-aid is very important, keep your job your God blessed your work.
Who cares I didn’t even know they where supposed to match skin color. This is silly!
🙄
So i cant use glitter band aids anymore, they have to be my skin color? I thought they were supposed to soak up blood why does the color even matter
Ok, you don't seem very bright. But I don't remember anyone saying anyone had to use a specific band-aid.
Nobody said that you had to use these bandaids. You can use any bandaids you want.
Is this not just as bad as dark and light skin colour toilets. Why tell children at a young age you need this bandaid because you belong to this group 🤷🏼♀️ thats gunna raise more questions in schools and raise them to think there’s a big gap between skin tones. Either have a light one, a dark one or a patterned one and give everyone the same plaster so there’s no division between groups of white, medium and dark bandaid people. We’re all the same. It’s not like plasters are invisible by being the same skin colour 😂. I’m white as a ghost and no plaster is my tone, it’s way darker, and the birth control patch which should be more concealed than a plaster is darker than a plaster . And I don’t get offended or look too much into it.
There is only one race, the human race, the sooner we realise that the better it’ll be for everyone.
No one has ever had an issue when all were treated with respect. But so far the U.S. was founded on separation and biasness. How has that gone so far?
Ridiculous 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Long time coming lol
Literally no one cares
The world keeps getting more and more dumb
Vote trump 2020 for liberal tears
You put notis on just to hate
