[In between traffic jams] After trying 3COINS' "Car Door Pocket Armrest," I understood the reasons for my fatigue.

While driving, I focused on how to spend time when stopping at service areas (SA) and parking areas (PA), and tried using the 3COINS "Car Door Pocket Armrest." Is there a change in posture and the way I relax my arms and shoulders while resting inside the car? Let's sort it out based on my experience.

I want to take breaks efficiently during a long drive

Before arriving at my destination or returning home, I'd like to drive while taking breaks at places like the high-luxury road service areas. Especially when in traffic, fatigue increases.

Therefore, how you spend your time inside the car when you stop is important. After driving about two hours from Kanagawa, I stop by a service area or parking area. Once I turn off the engine and deeply settle into the seat, I sometimes notice tightness in my arms and shoulders. During the drive, I may not realize it, but that fatigue comes out the moment I stop the car.

For this reason, I tried the "Car Door Pocket Armrest" from 3COINS as an item to organize my time spent inside the car while parked. It's a simple item that just plugs into the door pocket, but it provides support for my posture during breaks.

Arms are surprisingly heavy, so having a place to rest them is nice

During a break, when I sit back in the seat, I notice that "there's nowhere to put my arms." My arms may still be holding the steering wheel or my elbows may be floating, and unconsciously I'm tensing my shoulders. I take a moment to focus on the posture that leads to muscle tightness.

The 3COINS Car Door Pocket Armrest is characterized by its

・Simply insert it into the door pocket
・No tools required
・Price is 770 yen

This ease of use is a notable feature. I felt it was worth trying as a clever addition without adding large equipment to the existing car.

Installation is just a matter of inserting it into the door pocket

The installation method is very simple; you just insert the fixed part into the door pocket, and no special adjustments or work are required. Since it can be set up quickly, it doesn't feel like a hassle even before leaving or taking a break.

There may be cases where it cannot be installed depending on the car model, so it's necessary to check in advance, but I found the structure itself to be intuitive and easy to understand.

After using it, I realized the reason for my fatigue.

What I tried was during breaks at rest areas on the highway or when settling in the car a bit before departure. With a place to rest my arms, I realized, "Where have my arms been supported until now?" and "Why has it been easy for tension to build in my shoulders?"

While nothing changes dramatically, having a designated place for my arms seems to stabilize my posture, making it easier to relax the tension around my shoulders during breaks. Even during short breaks, it was impressive how much easier it was to switch my body posture.

This "Car Door Pocket Armrest" is an item that adds an option for organizing the body inside the car. Rather than adding expensive equipment, I found value in how it created an opportunity to reconsider how to spend time in the car.

Options for making the time in the car comfortable

The fatigue from driving is not determined solely by the time spent driving. It's about how to rest your body when you stop the car. That accumulation seems to be important.

I felt this was an easy option to incorporate to make that "stopped time" comfortable.
