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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

)

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:

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.

Ah, I remember hologram doc in voyager giving an explanation of "not fully formed, unstable, couldn't work"

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.

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!

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!!

+1 my days of wearing a two piece swimsuit are over, and my breasts have grown...towards the ground

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.
