Things you would like to see invented to make life easier for us womenfolk

panda100 · 16-04-2014 10:01pm #1

I treated myself to a massage today, and after 10 mins of shuffling around trying to get comfy, the same thought hits me that always hits me whenever I get a massage. Why does someone not invent a massage table with boob holes in it? There's a hole for your face so why isn't there one for your boobs so they don't have to be all squished and uncomfy. I'm only c cup and it's painful, so I can only imagine the pain of the massage table for big breasted girlies.

So that is my little invention that would make life a little bit easier for women kind, the boob hole massage table.

Anyone else have any good inventions they would like to share?

Jenneke87 · 16-04-2014 10:04pm

I've actually been thinking the same thing, panda! I get massages every now and then and indeed, the squashing is painful. I would also add armrests, just so my hands wouldn't be half overboard when lying down.

pwurple · 16-04-2014 10:23pm

Both of those massage table thingies already exist. "Breast recess" is the dent for the boob feature in tables, and the armrest is like a little table under the head part. Sometimes places put flowers on them, but they are for your hands to take the pressure off your arms.

Robot uterus would be a nice invention.

baby and crumble · 16-04-2014 11:55pm

Maybe not for just women, but detachable arms. So when you're lying in bed you can put your spare arm somewhere!

I will agree, the boobs thing puts me off getting massages. It's incredibly painful when you're my size (north (really north!) of a DD...)

A vaccine so when you get your period you can just shoot up and it's done. I know, I know, the Pill lessens it and blah blah blah but I mean it stops it entirely, with no side effects whatsoever.

A cheap, painless and permanent way of defuzzing legs and underarms. And upper lips.

Tigger99 · 17-04-2014 9:41am

A transporter that removes the need for child birth. Baby was inside, boom, baby is outside.

I'd prefer to not have to grow them at all inside you. Maybe I just want to be a hen.

czechlin · 17-04-2014 1:52pm

Some sort of a cap that you put on your head, select a hair style you want, have it on for a while and tadaaa off you go with gorgeous looking hair!

Wouldn't mind the growing inside so much if I had some sort of sunroof/viewing window type thing.

A switch that would turn off your uterus until you actually want to use it - no periods, no pregnancy scares, and eggs in perfect condition should you decide to use them

Also some way of dyeing your hair permanently so there’s no regrowth would be amazing! No need for expensive repeat appointments

I do mine from a box myself now - it's red so going every 3-4 weeks to a salon was not going to happen for long!
Get lovely compliments on it too ^^

My hair is blonde though - I feel that adding colour to your hair is fine to do at home, but anything involving bleach is better left to professionals (horribly expensive professionals

)

B0jangles · 18-04-2014 5:17pm

The nosepad thingys in glasses/sunglasses; they NEED to be redesigned so that they don't bloody snag in your hair if you put them up on your head for a moment.

Drives me bananas - shove your glasses up on you head for 5 seconds?

BAM - have a nice hank of hair yanked out and waving around loose from whatever way you've put your hair up.

:mad:

highly1111 · 18-04-2014 6:09pm

A fast forward time machine when you're pregnant.

I'd have all the babies in the world if I didn't have to be pregnant for 40 (or in my case 42!!) long weeks.

Honestly, it is my major major deterrent towards ever having a 4th!

lazygal · 18-04-2014 7:55pm

My major deterrent for having more children is the newborn stage. I hate it, I've done it twice now and its one of the major things putting me off having more. If babies could be born at about six months that'd be awesome. Also breastfeeding needs some serious redesign, I do it because I know the benefits are there but I don't enjoy it and find it a pain in the early stages when you're feeding around the clock.
Periods are a total waste of time unless you want to have children. The switch idea would be amazing.
Something to rejig your feet so heels are more comfortable would be good.

A contraceptive pill that doesn't reduce libido.
So I can have as much sex as I want and want as much sex as I can have.

Lou.m · 19-04-2014 12:41pm

Yeah deffo something to speed up periods so that they last an hr or something and then done! ..WTF Humanity why have you not got that **** sorted?

eviltwin · 19-04-2014 12:43pm

A very quick, easy, non invasive and cheap way of being sterilised that won't play havoc with hormones.

eviltwin · 19-04-2014 12:45pm

High heels that are easy to walk in and that don't hurt

Lou.m · 19-04-2014 1:15pm

A feck it lets do away with pregnancy and childbirth....make them in the bath tub or something??

They used it once on ST Voyager in an emergency situation. I think it was Naomi Wildman's birth. Otherwise women were still expected to just get on with it.

Don't know what type procedure is used in Ireland, but over here, the ovaries are tied with a microscopic clamp. It takes about half an hour and doesn't mess with hormones as far as I can tell. Maybe this is something that you can look into? Sorry mods, if I went off-topic.

Nah, it was Tom and B'ellana's baby. And they all acted like it was some terrible thing to happen rather than a 'd'oh, we should have been doing this for decades' thing. Naomi's birth was when there were 2 Voyagers existing together and 'our' Naomi died just after her birth, as did 'our' Harry. But the other Voyager was going to explode so other Janeway ordered her Harry to take that ship's Naomi to the surviving ship. So Naomi wasn't actually her mother's child really, but it was never spoken of again.

I don't even know why I know all of that. I rarely watched Voyager.

ETA: I just looked it up and I was wrong. It was Naomi and it was the transporter birth that killed her. Something the writers obviously included because of how stupid it is to create a universe with that technology but have all the women still give birth.

Rosy Posy · 20-04-2014 11:38pm

Male pill!! Interesting how so many of these are to do with fertility.

I would quite like one of those machines from the Simpsons that tells you what the baby's saying, although I suspect it would be mostly boobieboobieboobie

Not quite an invention but standardised clothing sizes would make my life easier.

Must find out a place in Ireland that uses these!

Precious flower · 27-04-2014 5:51pm

Something that actually gets rid of stretch marks completely! I have stretch marks on my breasts that I always feel self conscious about. The worst thing is aren't stretch marks suppose to signal growth, my breasts have a fair amount and they barely grew!!

Ilyana 2.0 · 28-04-2014 11:52am

Jeans that adjust themselves to your shape. No saggy knees, flappy ankles or waistbands falling down all over the place.

Strapless bras that defy gravity. Bye bye, cut shoulders.

Hair dye that you can just wash in like shampoo, that never fades.

Strapless bras that not only defy gravity but adjust perfectly to fit all bust sizes.

Some way of adjusting your DNA so the hair colour you want would grow straight out of your head. Also hair that grows super quickly when you need it to like with the Doctor gave Seven of Nine her instantly long blonde hair when they deborgified her. Yeah, I really do watch too much Star Trek Voyager...:D

Mayo Miss · 29-04-2014 11:42pm

If we can have the on/off switch for our reproductive bits can we have one for eating? So then I wouldn't have to go to Slimming World anymore, my wobbly bits would shrink down painlessly and I wouldn't crave crap.

I was going to throw in the hair grower thing myself. Like one of those dolls I used to have that adjustable length hair, but unlike the doll it never stops working

I'd also like nails like a character had in the old version of Total Recall, that you can change the colour of by touching them with a...a...a nail-colour-changing-device!

FouxDaFaFa · 01-05-2014 4:54pm

Something like that makeup gun from the Simpsons, except not crap.

I just can't do eyeliner. I can imagine myself becoming an accomplished assassin before becoming competent in eyeliner application.

Also, like an airbag that you can detonate when receiving unwanted advances in pubs/clubs/wherever.

Lucyfur · 01-05-2014 5:27pm

Permanent eyebrow tinting.

I want the makeup kit from the 5th Element, it is like the old view master 3d viewer kids have, but does instant eye make up!

Some sort of alarm system as a replacement for periods. Like every month you'd get a text that said "YAY, NOT PREGNANT!" or "Uh oh..."

Tigger99 · 05-05-2014 2:34pm

I've heard of semipermanent eyebrows, basically tattoo like ink is applied to skin at eyebrows to make them look darker. Can be very effective if done right. Apart from that I'd say celebs can just afford makeup artists to do their brows the whole time.

^^ This!!

I looked into having them tattooed. My eyebrows are white blonde and my hair is dyed dark brown so I look like an alien when my brows aren't tinted. BUT. Obviously the tattooing is done on the skin, so while I would have a good tattooed shape and colour, I'd still be left with my blonde brows, so I reckon I'd still have to tint them.

Some day, I'll invent an answer.

Tigger99 · 05-05-2014 5:41pm

Oh maybe eyebrows that stop growing so once you dye them, that's all that's needed. I'm the same, my eyebrows are blonde and it's a bloody nuisance having to dye them every week or so.

A teleporter! I've wanted one of those for years... I'd see my boyfriend and family more often, and could travel to loads of places I want to visit without the hassle or expense of air travel

Pwindedd · 10-05-2014 10:58pm

A few things.

Instant manicure machine - polish and all.
Seat belt that doesn't slice into my neck
Airer with a heating element at base to gently blow hot air upwards and dry my self ironing clothes, that I just got out of a washing machine that only takes 5 mins from start to finish.
Underwire bra that isn't under wired and costs less than 20 quid a pop
Bubble bath with a hint of tan in it - Dip dyed if you will !
A phone with a keyboard that can tell the difference between "in" and "on"- who put the O next to the I ffs.

I'm a massage therapist and there are two options for you.
Pregnancy tables have removable cushions in the breast area (and stomach) or else there are breast pillows. Ask for one or the other when you book next. I work in a city where implants are very common so I get this a lot.

I feel like this when hugging my bf. The lovely spontaneity of a hug is interrupted by readjustment of boobage. Him on top hugs and sideways hugs. He doesn't realise boobs can hurt when squashed.

1) I'm so glad I'm not the only girl who knows stuff like this.
2) They definitely transported Yoshi O'Brien into Kira when something happened to Keiko during pregnancy, maybe in the future mothers are like 'No, I want the experience'. I remember being very jealous of the fact that Bajorans seem to have some kind of expanding pelvis because her labour went "Relax, relax, relax, here's a baby."
3) I think the reason Naomi Wildman had to be transported out of her mother was because of the spikes on her forehead, IIRC.

A comfortable, pretty bra that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Laser hair removal for light hair colours - would love this so much!
