Difficult to bend down when you reach the end of pregnancy, or when your back hurts. If you can’t put your socks on, we’ve found the perfect, effortless technique.
Pregnant women who reach the end of their pregnancy all encounter the same difficulty due to their protruding belly. Indeed, they all agree that at 8 or 9 months of pregnancy, it is almost impossible to bend over to put on your socks, tie your shoelaces, and you forget the idea of putting on nail polish ( at the feet) oneself. So, a handy little tip for putting on your socks without even having to bend down is welcome. Moreover, this method can also be used by people who have back pain, or even a lumbagoand who also can’t bend forward to put on their socks.
This tip spotted by @andrelifehack on Tiktok could well simplify the lives of future mothers and people who simply have a stuck back. If you want to try the trick, take a towel and sit comfortably on your sofa or chair to put on your socks in a rather unusual way. Before starting, fold your napkin lengthwise, folding down one part then the other, as in the video at the top of the article. Take the end of the towel and put your sock almost completely on. You will then just have to slip your foot between the towel and the sock, and at the same time pull on the end of the towel that you are holding in your hands.
Result: the towel is removed as you put your foot in the sock! Practical, right? Repeat in the same way for the other foot. On the other hand, the towel only works with socks, and you will have to find another trick to put on your shoes. Unless you wear flip-flops with socks, ankle boots that slip on easily, or slippers for a while.
