Question ID: 57280
So band-aids are "flesh" color, right? (like the old Crayola crayons)
Why are there no black "flesh" color band-aids?  And if there are,
aren't they just considered novelty band-aids?  Is this a novel idea?

Hello.

A company called Identity Products makes a product called "Ebon-Aide,"
which is essentially the sort of bandage strip that you've envisioned.

From Identity Products' web site:
"Identity's first product introduced to the public is the Ebon-Aide
Adhesive Bandage Strip. This product is manufactured in five shades
and three different sizes to match the skin tones of most people of
color."
http://www.ebon-aide.com/

This is not a "novelty" product. Identity Products claims that its
distributors sell the bandage strips to stores such as Target, Rite
Aid, and Wal-Mart.

If you'd like to become a distributor of this product, visit this
Ebon-Aide web page:
http://www.ebon-aide.com/html/signup.htm

search strategy: band aids, flesh

I hope this helps.

exactly what i was looking for.  next time you can tell me why there
are no band-aids "especailly designed" for white people.  :)


"New Ebon-Aide™ is the adhesive bandage specially designed for people
of color."
