Women Are Sharing Their "Girl Tools" & They Are So Funny And Clever

First, there was girl math. Then there was girl dinner. And now we’d like to introduce you to girl tools. It’s like the time you opened a bottle of wine with nothing but a Bic pen or the time you repaired your glasses with eyelash glue.

Girl tools — they are ingenious, they get the job done, and they might just be a high-heeled shoe or a Lego block, who knows?

This week on Threads, Grace Laubenthal (@GraceLaubenthal) asked the Women in STEM community for some of their favorite girl tools, and the women of the internet responded in force.

“‘girl math’ this, ‘girl dinner’ that what about girl tools??? i once used a bottle of lotion to nail a tapestry to my ceiling wbu,” she wrote.

And so many women replied with hilarious answers.

“This is my favorite thread of all time,” one of the most popular replies reads.

“Instead of ‘Jack of all Trades,’ I prefer ‘Jill of all Skills,’” another quipped.

Here are some of our favorite girl tools from the comments:
