Electronic Pencil?
Woman and Home / 1st January 1962
Yes, an electronic pencil. Not an electric pencil, like you thought. Electrolysis is still used to remove hair, but it’s generally advised nowadays to consult a trained professional, rather than muck about with electric shock equipment at home. What I want to know is: what do wristbands have to do with the whole thing?

An electronic pencil sounds like something the Doctor tried out and rejected, before settling for a sonic screwdriver.
I suppose you could use one to fight a Yeti, disintegrating it one hair at a time.

Dave: I think they were trying to make customers believe that their order would be handled discreetly by a woman, rather than a sniggering bloke in a warehouse.
Red: I keep hearing ‘detachable penis’ in my head. Not sure what that says about me.

“Destroy” hair? A bit frightening.

“Electromedica” sounds like a crazy evil future corporation ready to rule the world.

“Lady Manager”….now, does that mean a female manager or someone who manages the ladies? As it’s 1962 I suspect the latter

“To Lady Manager”
How patronising is that?
