Original White ONE Band- Please help me!

[U2SJ]

Hi Pleba girls,

So, Im desperate
Today I lost my One band that I have had forever and never ever taken off my wrist
I went to Target and tried some shirts on, and somehow I must have lost it.
I loved my ONE band.

I have some of the most recent ONE bands but they are so large they almost fall off my arm. I would LOVE to find another original ONE band and if anyone has an extra I can certainly pay you for it.

Please let me know. I wont be able to sleep without my ONE band!!

You can email me at marisablankenship@gmail.com

I appreciate any help!
Hope everyone is well!

I know that you can get them on their website. ONE | The ONE Campaign

Are you talking about the band with "one" etched in them, rather the the raised letters?

Yes! That is the one I had and loved because it is smaller than the new ones they have on the website....

Thank you so much U2fanatic!!! I appreciate this!!!!

^no problem! Gotta help out a fellow U2fan...

Hey U2SJ,
Did you get the right size? I have extra, but they are all size Large. You are welcome to have one of those. I live in the San Jose area, so it would be easy to get it to you.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

I don't recall the ONE bands being different sizes. I definitely didn't see that option when I ordered mine when they first came out 3 yrs ago.

 

[dragonfly_wolfe]

I'm pretty sure I have small ones if it is to big.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

like i mentioned above here in the US there were not different sizes of ONE bands available only the one size. Obviously, everyone has different size wrists, are of different ages, and different genders so these bands are going to fit everyone differently. I think is giving some people the impression that some are bigger and some are smaller.

 

[dragonfly_wolfe]

The original band could be ordered in small or large. I have some of both.

 

[bonocomet]

Actually I think some are smaller. I have one of the originals and that thing is tiny. No way will it fit my wrist. Of the newer version I wear the size small. So unless only children or very tiny people wore the original bands, there had to be more than one size. (No way would it fit a mans wrist)

Edit: Ah now I see your post dragonfly wolfe... yes as I was saying

 

[Sister Moon]

When I ordered mine (maybe 2 years ago) they had medium and large on the site. I wanted medium and I must have kept checking that site off and on about a dozen times and they would always be out of medium, so I ended up with 10 Large ones that are too big. I think the Large is probably more for guys.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Yeah, I originally had a large one that was too big, but I traded it with somebody for a smaller one

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

well, ok then. I didn't have that option when I bought the originals..

 

[wendi]

i just went on the site to buy a wristband and when i got to the checkout it was 80 dollars for shipping. so i cancelled. does anyone know another way of gettin one?

 

[RedRocksU2]

I was going to send you one, I have another "original" band, but it's Large size.
Glad you were able to find a replacement.

I'm wearing mine now.

 

[Carek1230]

I am glad to see someone else out there who feels the same way when noticing the wristband is lost or damaged! I've never removed my Livestrong or my white One wristbands. I won't.

 

[lauramullen]

I bought the 10 pack, so whenever I lose one I have another to replace it.

 

[gman]

I cant see them anywhere on the One website. Bah Humbug!

 

[last unicorn]

I originally had three white bands from the German anti poverty campaign, but I gave away one and lost another one some months ago, so there's only one left. That's the reason why I don't wear it that much any more, because I'm afraid I'll lose the last one, too, sooner or later.

ONE has a new German website now, but I don't see where I can order the white bands.

 

[gman]

I tried ebay. There was diddly squat to be found

 

[bonocomet]

The American One site has them available in the store section. Do the sites in Europe not have them for sale anymore? That's strange.

yeah I saw this, but for example on the german site I can't find them.

hmm, you can still have this one: http://www.deine-stimme-gegen-armut.de/aktiv-werden/merchandising.html
it has no 'ONE' on it, but it's still a white band

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Marisa,
the band is on it's way to ur house...

I know that I have posted this link before but here is the origin & the significance of the white band.


It is an international symbol.

If any of you need white bands - I have many of them. Some of the orignal ones & some of the newer ones.

If any of you ever need one, pm me or email me at ultravioletlove_14@yahoo.com and I'm sure that we can work something out.

Yes, that's the one I have. I bought mine at the P8 concert last year.

You can find the bands at One International, they also offer two sizes: small and large. The page can be seen in four different languages, here is the link:
