This article will save you money by showing you how to create a homemade heating pad.
Steps
- Get a large tube sock. Ankle socks or crew sock won't work.
- Fill the tube sock with rice making sure that there is enough room left at the top to tie a knot.
- Heat sock up in microwave. It usually takes about 60-90 seconds.
- Place on back or wherever hurts!
Tips
- Don't fill the sock up too much. You need to make sure you can tie it closed.
- If you're not sure how long to heat it, just go in intervals. Start at 10 sec and work your way up.
Warnings
- Don't heat it up too much. It can burn you.
- You might want to put a washcloth or sheet between the sock and your skin.
