Remove STUCK ring!!

Dental floss HURTS! Check out my hack that will save your finger A LOT of pain!

My ring has been on my finger for 24years, I have never taken it off, I have not been able to. I finally decided to do something about it, went to a jewellers yesterday who, having looked at it, advised me to go to the local hospital to have it cut off. I thought that was definitely what I would have to do, but took a look at YouTube today to see if anything would help....I have watched videos this afternoon, tried string, floss, elastic, nothing worked & and my finger got sorer and more swollen. I then watched your video, tried it with the tights/nylons and it is off - I literally cannot believe it!!! I am so happy, particularly as the inside of the ring is inscribed and I did not want to damage it by cutting it off, but I did think I would have no choice. Your tip of doing it in sections was really a good idea, that's what I did - I also just kept going, even through the pain because it definitely is painful - but actually, once I started it, I could just feel it was working and kept going. I am amazed, this is the best you SO so much!

5 years later your video helped me remove an engagement ring as well as a wedding band. Thank you so much! Glad we didn’t have to cut the rings!

Thank you SO MUCH! I’m pregnant and thought I was going to have to cut my wedding rings off. I did one ring and then waited 2 days for the swelling to go down and then did the other. Almost gave up both times when I got to the knuckle, thinking there was no way it was going to move over it. But I knew I had to keep trying. Painful, but it worked and I am

This worked amazingly! I’m 36 weeks pregnant and waited just a little too long to take my wedding rings off my fingers that started to swell. After reading through comments, I soaked my finger in ice water for 15 minutes first which helped numb my finger. I then used Vaseline under the pantyhose, used this hack working on small pieces at a time with my husband’s help and had it off within 20-25 minutes (including the 15 minute soak time). This was all after trying a bunch of methods the day before that didn’t work. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. I tried all day to take off my ring by putting my hand in ice water, taking a water pill and using oil/soap. It's 1:15 am and could not sleep. I got a brain fart--I can't believe I did not check on Youtube like I usually do when I want to learn how to make something such as cook/bake or fix. You were the first video I clicked on and saw (I clicked on like) and then I saw some other but they were using floss--so I came back to your video and decided to try it and it worked like a charm. I was able to do it by my self without waking up my husband and did it in less than 3 minutes. Thank you for sharing this awesome hack.

Hi there! Thank you so much for the step by step amazing tutorial. My ring got stuck towards the knuckle. For the past one week, I tried the thread method (alternative to dental floss) and ended up bruising the finger. Finally, I managed to get my stuck ring off after watching your tutorial. Just a tip for anyone in this situation, if you don't have a pantyhose, you can use the band from your pants. I used a thin (0.5cm width) band. The key here, is to observe your finger and make sure that the flesh is compressed as you go along. Also, apply some thick lubricant (eg. petroleum jelly) on your finger before winding the band/pantyhose around your finger. Apply more as you move upwards. The lubricant helps for a smooth movement and reduce the friction pain. Good luck!

Thank you! This video was so so so helpful. I’ve been stressed for the last few days after realizing my ring was stuck. I Sacrificed a new pair of nylons for the hope that it would be the thing that worked for me and it was! Came off within 5 minutes with only some mild to moderate discomfort.

Hi Becca! Omg! Thank you so much for your video. You saved my life today! 3/15/22. I almost gave up removing the ring on my swollen finger. My husband helped me remove by using the stocking method. I almost gave up because of pain. My husband keep reminding me of your message at the end. “BE PATIENT!”I just want to say thank you so much for this tutorial. You helped me so much today.🙏🙏🙏

I NEVER write comments but this video saved my life! I was nervous because I didn't think it would work but it did. I tried putting my finger above my head, in cold water, washing it with soap and lotion, and nothing happened. they all hurt really bad and then I found this video. It took one minute and was practically painless!!! definitely better than floss

Thank you for posting this video. I am also 37 weeks pregnant and have not been able to move my wedding band and engagement ring because of swelling. I used your method after soaking my hand in really cold water for about 30 minutes and it worked! I thought I would have to cut my rings off, but luckily I am able to avoid that. Thank you again.

[aileensunter]

This works!!! I tried dental floss 3 times and it didn't work. I was almost in tears because thought I was going to have to get my wedding ring cut off. Yours worked first time and it took seconds. Thank you so much! xx

I tried this out. I’m 9 months pregnant and woke up with my wrist hurting, turns out it was just my tight ring. After several attempts to remove it failed I started freaking out thinking I had to get it cut off at the ER. I practiced this on a lose ring before giving it one more try on my ring finger before heading to the ER. BUT, luckily this worked and saved me a trip to the ER at 3 in the morning. Thanks for posting.

Tried everything to get my rings off, pregnant and my finger was extremely swollen and injured after trying the painful floss several times. Finally tried nylons and this was the only thing that worked. Thank you so much!!!! 🙏🏼

[kishalashawn]

THANK I thought I was going to have to spend the night in the ER!! My finger was so swollen and sore I did not think this would work. Plus, my ring is the word “love” written in cursive so the nylons kept getting stuck in the letters, but I just did it slowly and it came right off. I had those pantyhose in my drawer forever, knowing good and damn well I was NEVERRRR gonna wear them, but low & behold, they came in handy! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

[hippiemommyof]

I’ve been trying to get my ring off all day long, tried everything I could find online and went to YouTube this evening and found your video and my ring is off my finger so I just wanted to personally thank you so much for posting this video! ❤️

[veronicalamkin]

Thank you so much! I almost had to get my ring cut off. 37 weeks pregnant and my fingers are pretty swollen. Nothing was even making my ring turn! I'll admit this method did hurt a lot, but probably because I was at the point of my circulation being cut off. My finger was turning purple, but I pressed through and had no choice, but to go through the pain. I had to even pause a few times and use ice for a few secs. I had to used Windex the entire time, but I nearly cried tears of joy when my ring finally came off!!! Keeping them off until after my pregnancy when my swelling goes down. Thank you so much, you saved my rings from getting cut!

[msvirgoxo]

Holy crap! Thank you! I was crying thinking my wedding rings were going to be chopped off 😢 I iced my fingers cause they were swollen from the previous attempts with floss and finally got off my engagement ring and wedding band with your tip! Hurt a lot and freaked me out cause my finger was turning people in the process but 😅 I’ve been saved! THANK YOU!

[charlottewynne-jones]

This really works! 38 weeks pregnant and worried I would need to cut off my wedding band. I soaked my hand in ice water for 15 mins first. It was quite painful but not for long. So relieved! Thank you!

[kittyshowandtell]

After trying so many other tutorials on YouTube, nothing worked and I had given up. Tomorrow I was going to go to get my ring cut off and then I found your video. I had some hope reading everyone else's comments (though I had had hope from other videos, too!). I thought maybe this wouldn't work because I actually have two rings soldered together.
I needed help properly wrapping the nylon around my finger but by the third wrap and unraveling, I was so shocked to see my ring just pop off completely!! I did not think the nylon was going to effectively wrap up anything around my knuckle because my ring was completely wedged stuck by that point! I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am so grateful!

[TheEffectofMaverick]

Thank God,
And thank you for this video! Wife woke up with ring stuck on her finger and I couldn't leave for work with her in that discomfort and agony.

This video, the nylon, the technique, everything worked out exactly as demonstrated in the video.

Thank you dearly for taking the time to create this video,
God bless you
