Doesnt it annoy you when people make fake ones?
It defies the whole point if people buy fake ones

Pink Breast Cancer one. (Available at Debenhams)
Bobby Moore trust fund one (Available at Burtons)
Yellow live Strong
British Heart Foundation
and Make Poverty History (Available at HMV)
2 make poverty history, yellow livestrong, 2 breast cancer ones and a beat bullying!
I dont wear them anymore but i liked the thought of helping out the charities! I did wear them for a while though!
i only wear the radio one bully band, the rest are too big for my wrist!!!!
i no- they make them really big!! I have small wrists too!
i have a beat bullying and 3 make poverty history ones, but i cant wear mine because i have a bad reaction to wearing them

Really, why?

i dont like these wristbands. i like the idea of them for the charity . but most people (not all) only wear them as a fashion accesory. kind of takes away the 'zing' about them. lol IMO
.:SpIcYsPy:.
20-08-2005, 21:37
IMO? Meaning.. sorry Im bad at abbrevated words (sp?)
CrazyLea
20-08-2005, 21:39
in my opinion..... i think... i've seen it on here and kind of assumed :p

If you go here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_4220000/newsid_4226500/4226529.stm) you can find about all the wristbands they got.. I want nearly every single one of them but I haven't got any!! I like supporting charities and would like to show everyone I do but never see these bands anywhere :angry:
i dont kniw why, the area goes red and swollen
Dr. Tangliss
21-08-2005, 16:46
You must be allergic.
yeah, i must be, although it is strange
i dont kniw why, the area goes red and swollen Thats strange I have had the same problem,must be something in the rubber or the dye.
yeah. it was nasty but the worst thing was people wanted to buy them off me. i blankly refused

If this poster has said they wear wristbands as charity and not fashion why is it in fashion :rotfl:
I just bought my chartie's shop wrsitband (The Children's Society)
My Make Poverty History band - rubber is coming soon..
I want to go to my other charity shops and also Dorthy Perkins to get mroe...
they are in fashion, but people don't wear them for the right reasons.
i have ordered a kirsty one from the manchester evening news because its local.
which ones are the MEN ones?
kirsty_g
27-08-2005, 08:25

I think that they are a great idea and could care less if people wear then as a fashion thing the charity still gets the money - now the fake ones they are horrid and should be banned!
My mother in law (60 year old wanders) around with hers on - its fab!
I love my anti-racism one - have others but love it as I bought a kids one and it fits where the others are one size and fall off - I have tiny wrists
awww. my beat bullying and cloth MPH bands are the only ones which fit properly!

my friend had a pink cancer research one and it kept falling of her hand
thats the problem, they're all one size!
RealityGap
01-09-2005, 16:15
thats the problem, they're all one size!
thats why the anti racism ones that nike made were great as they came in youths or adults and the youth one is great
the autism one is great - it is blue with lots of coloured jigsaw pieces on it but never wear it as it falls off......
i've never seen them. my friend has them all up his arm... i think he took it a bit far!! another one of my frineds bought 120 livestrong and sold them to people at school

i only have one the breast cancer one. i got mine fomr dorothy perkins. mine is too big as well, i'm already on my second as i lost my first when it fell off!
well at least the money goes to charity, sp maybe its good that they keep falling off, even if it isn't good for our pockets!

you should be careful if you get them off ebay though
i've got the breast cancer one. i bought it to support the cancer but also because someone in my family *not naming name* has had breast cancer (obviously a women) and a live strong one.
you should be careful if you get them off ebay though
i got all of mine from ebay, why be careful??
di marco
13-01-2006, 08:10

well how do you know theyre going to be real or not, and why would people be selling them on ebay if they werent personally making money from it?
