Even Bandages Are Cute in Japan

As I’ve been raising my daughter, I’ve noticed that not just her, but all children around her age love putting on band-aids.

Even if their injury isn’t serious enough to warrant a band-aid, they still want to put one on.


These are Pokémon band-aids that my daughter loves. They’re a size smaller than adult ones, so they’re just right for kids.

In Japan, you can buy character-themed band-aids not only at drugstores but also at 100-yen shops like Daiso and general merchandise stores.

I found the Sanrio band-aids in the children’s section of the shopping mall.
There were also band-aids cut into shapes like stickers. I’m sure kids would want to try sticking these on, even if they weren’t hurt.
I found them at the 100-yen store down the street, too. Since you can see the patterns inside, it’s easy to pick out your favorites.

If you ever have the chance to visit Japan, why not pick up some of these band-aids featuring characters like Sanrio and Pokémon as souvenirs?
