She told her 315k followers: "I came up with one of the best ideas of my life.
"I have purchased five different travel neck pillows and they all suck. I wished something would hold my neck in place, something like a neck brace.
"And I had an epiphany - why not just buy a neck brace?"
She then explained that she "doesn't care" how she looks if travelling on long flights, adding if you buy it in black and cover it with a scarf, people won't even be able to tell.
She added: "When you lay back, you neck isn't going anywhere."
Despite being a strange option instead of a travel pillow, many TikTok users called her a "genius".
