My knowledge of chemistry is sketchy at best so I'm gonna need help on this one. The basic concept is as such:
A white bath towel that comes with a pen filled with ink that only appears in water but will not run. Also supplied is a chemical wash that will remove said waterproof waterappearing ink.
The purpose? Writing notes for yourself to see in the morning reminding you to perform such tasks as you deem necessary. I always forget to do that thing that I remembered to do last night.
Can it be done or is this just magic?

I have a bathing suit that is one color when dry and has
a design when wet so I think this is bakable. |
|
| |
Simple enough - make an ink out of a pH indicator solution and a gel, that is clear when either basic or acidic - and have it in a basic or acidic solution. Then just use an alcohol of some sort to dissolve the gel, release the ink from the towel, and make the towel clean. |
|
| |
When water strikes the indicator, because it's neutral, the indicator will change colors and create readable mark. |
|
| |
At least, that's what I think you can do, based on my high school chemistry from 9 years ago (good lord, has it been that long?) |
|
| |
You have to know where your towel is. |
|
| |
I was thinking that this might be a paper towel buried deep in the roll that has an "buy a new roll of paper towels soon" message printed on it. |
|
| |
Surely the fact that the toilet roll is running out will let you know that? |
|
| |
I don't know. I don't use paper towels for toilet tissue. |

"Postablutionary Oublier Redeemer", which googles up nonsense and French ski sites |
|
| |
pardon my ignorance, am I supposed to look that up? I know I am bored senseless but that is just too much work, [harder.] |
|
| |
wait, I'll just write on my bath towel to look it up tomorrow. |

//Writing notes for yourself to see in the morning reminding you to perform such tasks// Such as "Floss, brush teeth, and gargle; dentist appointment today at 9." |

Sorry, [dentworth], it is nonsense really, just a bunch of words thrown together. Ablutionary means of washing so postablutionary means after washing. Oublier is French for 'to forget,' possibly spelt wrong. |

So: After Washing To Forget Redeemer |
