If you could create a machine that takes over body admin, what would it be?

I would like to create a 'periodic womb lining remover' .

Instead of a period once a month, have a little powered turkey-baster style device that can suck out the contents 🤢🤢🤢 and all done until next time.

What magic contraption would you create for body admin?

@WeatherwaxLives

Something that removes hair. So, all the hair I want gone it just does it while I read a book or something. Painlessly. Like a little robot hoover that just whizzes about and leaves me with perfect eyebrows.
Yes this!
PostmanSplat · 01/04/2021 22:26

I’m not sure if sleeping counts as body admin but I’m sure a more effective charging system could be invented

There was a children’s program set in the future where water was in such short supply you weren’t allowed to wash. Instead they stood on a circle and some sort of future technology beam removed all the dirt from their skin,hair and clothes. No washing. No drying, immediately spotless. I’ve been waiting for someone to invent it.

Justdowhatyouweretold · 01/04/2021 22:31

I would like to be able to click my fingers and be showered with hair blowdried and straightened. 45 mins every bloody day!!! I might even get to work early.

I was going to say hair removal but Would also like a device that brushed and flossed my teeth to perfection twice a day. Just so mind numbingly dull. And yes I have a fancy electric tooth brush, water pic, plus various other devices but I still have to stand there when I’m either still asleep or falling asleep, performing the same repeated actions and then clean the mirror because I can’t do a good job without redecorating with toothpaste. God, life’s tough eh? 😉

Oh and I really want a pill you take on the 1st May and that’s your suncream sorted for a year.

Ooooh!

Self cleaning teeth!

...why do they need so much maintenance, all that brushing, flossing, mouth washing is so much effort!

Mugginyouleftrightandcentre · 01/04/2021 22:37

Toning tables, what a blast from the past!

Good shout on a sunscreen pill, there might be something in that!

I think mine would be something to remove all of my body hair easily.

Genius! I'll take it.

Definitely this. I hate sticky suncream hands
MrsAvocet · 01/04/2021 22:42

I hate washing and drying my hair so something that does that would bs great.
I'm another one who was upset when they removed my catheter after I'd had a section. The MW made it sound like a great thing but I wasn't wild about having to get up to go to the toilet every 20 minutes. To be fair, I'd had quite severe pre eclampsia and was blown up like a balloon so as the fluid started to clear I was passing huge amounts of urine. And they wanted me to measure it, so I had to pee in a jug and record the volume on a chart. When I had the catheter in the MWs did that job so I reckon that's really why they were so keen to get it out! 😂
But yeah, if I never had to go to the toilet again I wouldn't mind.

Pet8 · 01/04/2021 22:47

I want all the above please, thank you. Here's my money.

I also want the 3 course meal in a bubble gum from Willy Wonka's factory.

ismiseeire · 01/04/2021 22:49

Sleep mode.

drspouse · 01/04/2021 23:13

@GuyFawkesDay

Something that did a wee for me.

It's just so inconvenient!

My DD would have this. I'd get something that washed my hair in an instant.
OhYouBadBadKitten · 01/04/2021 23:18

I'd like something that would just make me in bed at night when I'm tired. So I can go from sitting down, to being in my pjs tucked up in bed with no hassle, teeth done and everything.

PoptartPoptart · 01/04/2021 23:21

A switch that would make me fall asleep instantly and keep me asleep for a full 8 hours every night please.
I think my husband has one - it seems to be hardwired into his male body. He is asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow while I’m lying awake for ages worrying about the kids, planning dinner for a week on Tuesday, and trying to remember if I’ve paid the gas bill.
I want a sleep switch.

ArwenTheGreat · 01/04/2021 23:24

Definitely the getting showered hair washed and dried. Such a pain in the arse.

DontDrinkDontSmokeWhatDoIDo · 02/04/2021 08:31

So many fabulous ideas.

Anyone know any bio engineers up for a challenge?!

Love the idea of body admin.

'Just off to do some filing, may be gone for a bit'

I got cramps just reading that . It must be so painful 😥

CigarsofthePharoahs · 02/04/2021 09:00

Well something that can tell me when I've eaten too many calories. Or something that can divert excess calories to waste rather than fat.
A gauge, like the ones on The Sims that can tell you when your baby is hungry, lonely or about to poo. Would have made life so much easier.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 02/04/2021 09:15

As a pale as pale can be person, a Fake tan tablet or something you can add to a bath and soak in to tan and not miss any bits. Lasts longer than 5 days too.
Definitely the flossing nonsense

Iootraw1 · 02/04/2021 09:27

You get a free machine to do away with periods and ‘womb linings’ at middle age it’s called menopause. Only trouble is you then need several more body machines to mop up sweaty body parts, relubricate inners, and give the brain some lusty stimulation back.

AllotmentTime · 02/04/2021 09:29

Toss up between an instant mani pedi (and by instant I mean two seconds to instantly filed polished dry nails. I’ll go up to five seconds but that’s it)

Or

Something to stroke my hair for me.

Everything else I can either manage or I can’t be arsed to do it Grin

Oh, or something to magnetically repel my hands when I try and scratch (I’m a chronic hay fever sufferer with permanently itchy eyes/ears).
