tight socks rubber

Sometimes socks that we buy are having too tight rubber, which are uncomfortable to wear.  

This is how to deal with it: 

1. Measure your leg/ankle circumference, according to the socks length, e.g. 20 cm  

2. Cut a thick carton paper with size 20 cm x 5 cm

3. Fold it to become 10cm x 5cm  

4. Wet the rubber part of the socks (with water) 

5. Insert the carton into the socks at the rubber part  

6. Iron it 'til dry  

7. Repeat step 4-6 for twice or three times
