Use a neck brace instead of a neck pillow.“I have purchased like five different travel neck pillows and they all suck,” the TikToker said in her clip.“I wish that something would just hold my neck in place, kind of like a neck brace”.So instead of buying something like a neck brace, @hellokristen literally just bought a neck brace.As she pointed out in the video, the brace supports your neck from all sides — unlike a neck pillow.“If I’m traveling for more than eight hours, I do not care how I look,” @hellokristen added.

“It is all about comfort”.TikTok users largely supported the idea.

Many called it “genius”.“This is the best idea ever,”one user wrote
