Tesco becomes first UK supermarket to sell plasters for different skin tones after an employee saw a viral tweet by an emotional black man who'd finally found one to match his complexion


Plasters in dark, medium and light shades are available in store and online today
Inclusive move followed a viral tweet shared by Dominique Apollon last year
He claimed he was holding back tears after finding plaster to match his skin tone
No UK supermarket had ever stocked plasters in a range of skin tones before

£1

Good for kids :clap1:

[Kizzy]

About time, well done tesco.

[Cherie]

I don't think I have ever found a plaster that matches my skin tone and its not something I ever really thought about :hee:

[Cherie]

They range from orange to see through, I guess the POTUS will be okay :omgno:

[Kazanne]

Everyones blood is red, the purpose of a plaster is to stop bleeding along with other things , who cares what colour it is :shrug:

Let the market decide. If no-one buys them, they'll stop being made.

But if something like this is what people decide to spend their time thinking about, they can keep them on the shelves by taking them off the shelves.

I don't get cut so never need them :smug:

[Marsh.]

I've never really been bothered enough to hide a plaster that it needed to be in my skin tone. :shrug:

My friends daughter's big toe nail came off when she fell and she was going on a sun holiday soon after so she covered it with a plaster and painted the toenail section of it with nail varnish, you would hardly notice it wasn't a real toenail :laugh:

Nailed it!

:hehe:

[smudgie]

To be honest, most of my plasters have been bright blue. Need to be seen in kitchens..for obvious reasons.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I do not use plasters around a finger as i dont like anything constricting me (i wear a very loose watch too). If i cut myself usually i just use a bit of sellotape to stop the bleeding

Gone are the days when the only colour car you could buy was black.

If think people will buy the cheap ones regardless of colour.

[Cherie]

and Rylan :hehe:

[Crimson Dynamo]

they sell clear plasters anyroad

...I’m guessing that you’ve never worn open toed sandals for a wedding, then...

These are Tesco's own, cheap as they come (and will fall off after 20 minutes). The only plaster worth buying is proppa Elastoplast :shrug:.

You may think this is because Marsh doesn't wear open-toed sandals; but it is in fact because he has never been to a wedding as he has no friends.

[Niamh.]

There's nothing worse than seeing a plaster floating in a swimming pool as well, the panic that sets in when you spot it and you're frantically trying to get away from it

my pal Scott swallowed one and then was sick in the pool, he was 22 at the time

...I know that’s not true because he borrowed a pair of mine last time...they fit him like a velvet glove, so he has no need for plasters on his feet...

Gross. Society need rules that prohibit showing your toes in public, just like genitals. Horrid things.

They look excellent at funerals though.

[Kizzy]

I think the point of the thread has been lost, the point is the usual flesh or nude tone of plasters has not been too diverse. It's seen as a big deal in the beauty community to not extend shade ranges and are looked down on for not being inclusive enough.
I applaud tesco for addressing this issue, yes there are clear plasters and these might be crap that's not the point is it?

The point is now the little boy/girl who has a skin tone plaster can have one in their skin tone, we might not appreciate the meaning of that for many.

[Jessica.]

I think it is really sweet that they have a more diverse selection of plasters.

[Cherie]

I really like the dinosaur ones :flutter:

To go with your scaly skin?

yes :flutter:

[Jake.]

I think this is a good idea. I had one on the side of my face by my ear for a couple of days because of minor surgery and it definitely would have been better having a plaster which was less obvious :laugh:

[Amy Jade]

In work I wear blue ones, so smurfs are accounted for too. So woke!

[Beso]

Bloody EU regulations probably forced the blue ones on us commie chefs to begin with.

[Livia]

It's not something I've ever really thought about. But if there is such a need within the black community, I wonder why a black business person didn't make them years ago.

Personally I like Barbie plasters, or at a push, Disney Princess.
