TikTok users rushed to the videos comments section to praise the nifty hack.

One user said: "I saw this video and i just made two! they are awesome thanks!"

Another user added: "I just made one for my mom and also smells really good and it’s really easy to make."

One user suggested that as an alternative, you could put the sock in the freezer and use it as an ice pack.

They said: "I do something very similar to this! I put rice in a sock, sew the top and keep it in the freezer in case you ever have a fever or you fall down."

Other users suggested that you could use the whole sock and tie it up at the end if you are unable to sew and added that this could be used more like a hot water bottle to help with period cramps.
