What's a product that you wish existed but doesn't?

What's a product that you wish existed but doesn't?

For me it's a little contraption that attaches buttons that have fallen off back onto clothes really quickly/easily without sewing. I've bought things that claim to do this before, but they're rubbish. I have an aspiration to design something one day, I'm sure it would be possible to design a good one.

Maybe an entrepreneur will read this and design our ideas!

I don't know what it could possibly be, but something that stopped you having to open blister packs of tablets. I have rheumatoid arthritis and take numerous tablets every week for this and my heart condition, but my hands are so bad the irony is half the time I can't bloody open them🤣

The local pharmacy puts mine in a dossette box. Much easier to get at.

Under the Equality Act they can make an assessment and issue a dosette box or sometimes they can change the packaging.

Gadget for removing pills from blister pack.

I love that people are helping each other find their products! Some of the others are definitely feasible.

How about... a website where people can register products ideas for developers to browse and choose from!

An app that allows you to design a hair style to show your hairdresser, like an identikit creator - eg, you adjust hair length, layers, fringe, etc etc and can get an idea of whether it would suit you. Ideally it would also generate a description in hairdresser language!

Silly but……,

A portal or giant hand that takes a car back to its original starting place (eg driveway at home or work car park) every single time if they speed, cut someone up, jump traffic lights or frickin’ well leave their right signal on when leaving a roundabout! Arrrrgh! Until they get the message and drive sensibly, safely and correctly and they can continue on their journey

HRT oestrogen+progestone that you can take as an oral spray. No more pills or gels.
A kind and comfortable vaginal applicator tube for post-menopausal women. I'm sure the rough edged plastic ones that come with prescription creams were invented by men :(

Drops that you could put in your eye and they would form a comfortable gel that creates 20:20 vision with no astigmatism. No need for lenses that scratch and dry out your eyes and aren't quite the right prescription.
