At some point in our lives, we've all gone through the stressful moment of trying on a ring and then not being able to get it off our finger... Don't worry, if you're in this situation, there are several methods to get the ring unstuck from your finger.
- Use lubricant . One of the first steps to free a stuck ring is to apply lubricant to the affected finger and the ring itself. You can use vegetable oil, moisturizer, or even liquid soap to create a slippery layer. Once applied, gently twist the ring while stretching upward. This will help the ring slide on.
- Use dental floss . If your ring still resists lubrication, dental floss can be your friend. Cut a piece of dental floss and slide it under the ring, making sure it's snug around your finger. Start rolling it toward the tip of your finger, and the ring will slowly slide off.
- If swelling is the cause of the problem, you can cool the finger or adjust its temperature . Try cooling it by soaking it in cold water for a few minutes or using ice cubes wrapped in a cloth. The cold will help reduce swelling and make it easier to remove the ring. If you prefer warm water, soaking your finger in warm water is another option; this can also reduce swelling and make it easier to remove the ring.
- Hand up . If the swelling is more than evident, raise the swollen arm above your head. This will reduce blood flow to your hand, reducing the swelling of the finger and making it easier to remove the ring.
Whichever technique you choose, BE PATIENT! If, after trying everything, the ring still resists, don't hesitate to ask for help. And remember, trying to force the ring off can cause your finger to swell further.
2. Prevent your rings from getting stuck: use the correct size
Many times, a ring gets stuck because the ring isn't the correct size . A ring that's too tight on the finger can get stuck, while a loose, oversized ring can move and catch on objects. It's highly recommended to measure and know your ring size before putting it on.
It's also important to be careful when putting on and taking off rings. Avoid forcing them or twisting them sharply while they're on your finger, as this can cause them to get stuck. If a ring gets stuck, avoid pulling hard and use one of the methods we've explained above.
