TikTok Made Me Try Cold-Plunging & I'm So Glad It Did

Have you heard about “cold-plunging”? It’s exactly what it sounds like: dunking yourself in freezing water. It’s all the rage on TikTok, says Samm Davidson: “I saw people boasting about the benefits of their #dailydip on my FYP (the ‘for you page,’ for those more mature than I), saying they felt a real sense of accomplishment after doing something so tough. I couldn’t help but get curious.”

So she decided to try it out. Fortunately, she lives in New England with easy access to frigid water, and a friend recently took up the practice: “We met in the beach parking lot on a Friday morning, and it was obvious that I was a newbie. She was fully prepared with a warm, easily removable plunge parka and a pair of neoprene shoes, while I arrived in an old fleece bathrobe and a pair of Crocs. This wasn’t a fashion moment, and I couldn’t let my lack of accessories derail me.” And believe it or not, she was glad she gave it a try.

Can you picture yourself giving it a try?
