Does the job well. I have some low points in my garage floor that are in unfortunate locations. The winter causes the water spots to freeze making for some dangerous walking conditions. I used these socks to block the water from flowing into the low points and it’s working out very well. The 12 pack is worth it and the best value. I already placed 6 in and around my car and things like the snowblower where water might drip off and pool. Except right where the car sits, the garage floor is dry now. They seem durable, but the material is thin but it has to be for water to get inside to be absorbed.

The New Pig Mildew-Resistant Absorbent Sock is an absolute lifesaver! I recently used it to tackle some water issues surrounding my home, and it performed brilliantly. The absorbent sock is incredibly effective at soaking up water, with a 1-gallon absorbency capacity that makes it perfect for dealing with leaks, spills, and damp areas. What I love most is that it’s mildew-resistant, so I don’t have to worry about any unpleasant odors or mold developing over time. The 3" x 48" size is just right for placing along walls or around equipment, and it’s flexible enough to fit into tight spaces. It’s also reusable, which adds to its value. This is a must-have for anyone looking to protect their home or workspace from water damage. Highly recommend!

My upstairs neighbor's screened in balcony leaks water into my enclosed sunroom when the rain is directed toward our building. Until this is fixed (a contractor will be sealing her concrete floor as soon as my neighbor comes back to supervise the installation...she lives out of state). In the meantime, when it rains my sunroom floods (sometimes more than others depending on the amount of rain). The sunroom is tiled but it opens into my living room which has wood floors, so any water that reaches them does a lot of damage. So, until it's fixed I have been using the Absorbent Sock/Water Absorbing Snake to absorb the water. Today, it rained pretty hard and the sunroom was flooded in a few places but these snakes absorbed the water, so no damage was done to the wood floors. Considering how much it would cost to have the hardwood floors fixed or replaced, these are a bargain. I haven't tried to dry them yet and understand that can take awhile and that they won't last too long but they worked well and I will order more if needed.

I purchased these because we have a spare bathroom tub that was built in such as way that water will catch in spots and run along the side of the tub onto the floor. Because of the angles at which the tub and the tiled frame that holds the tub were built, it hasn't been possible to stop the run off with other, non absorbent physical barriers. Therefore, until we can arrange to have the tub pulled out and completely redone, using an absorbent barrier is the next best solution. These New Pig absorbent socks have been a very good product for this purpose. We place one along the area where the water pools and runs off and the sock picks up virtually 100% of the water. Then we wring out the sock and place it where it can dry out. The only downside we've found is that the socks do not dry out quickly - it takes several days out on our porch even in dry, non-humid weather for a sock to completely dry out. We bought a package of 12. We have 7 of them in use on a rotating, daily basis. There are usually 2-3 dry ones available at any time.I have also tried placing the absorbent socks in the dryer for a short period of time (15-30 minutes) on delicate or just on air dry. Usually I do this when they are almost dry, to get out the final bit of moisture. So far the socks have held up to limited drying in this manner, but I'm not sure it would be good to dry them this way on high or for long periods of time - I haven't tried it. I find it helps to wring the sock out after each use and to massage the wet portions to loosen up the absorbent filling inside the sock so it dries more readily. I would have given 4.5 stars if I could, and if the socks dried out faster I would give them 5 stars.My husband and I have been using these for a few months now on a rotating basis for daily showers (each one has probably been used at least a dozen times) and they are all still in good condition - no tears, mildew, discoloration, or funky odors. Other absorbent socks we've tried had one or more of those problems.
