Pool noodles are cylinders or tubes of rubber or plastic that are used to make a floating surface for a pool or hot tub. They can be purchased at pool supply stores or plastic foam manufacturers, such as Alcot Plastics. For example, they can be placed by the side of the pool and then submerged in the pool as they become full of air and float up to the surface.
You can also use them for these five unique applications.
Typing Wrist Rest
A pool noodle can be used as a wrist rest by placing it in between your keyboard and hand while typing. You can cut the pool noodles in half, place it behind your keyboard and under your wrist, and enjoy a typing wrist rest that helps you prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and uncomfortable typing.
Door Bumpers
Door bumpers are materials that protect the edges of doors and window frames. They can be made easily by cutting a length of pool noodle in half and placing them along the mentioned edges. The foam’s malleable property allows it to smoothly transition and fill the gap between the edges and the frames
Luggage Rack Protection
To avoid luggage rack damage from falling on cars, pool noodles can be wrapped around the roof of the car and then taped like a luggage rack. The pool noodle will also provide extra padding for the roof if it were to be scratched by luggage.
Fishing Rod Rack
Pool noodles are perfect for creating a fishing rod rack. The pool noodles can be tied together in a knot to create a hanger, and then you can hang the rod from the hanger. Alternatively, you can attach two pool noodles about ¾ a fishing rod’s height and slice the upper noodle with slits to insert the fishing rods.
Injury-Free Trampoline Springs
Trampoline springs are high-risk pinch areas that can cause massive injuries to kids. With pool noodles, you can wrap them around the springs without taking away any spring properties when your kids use them.
