My dad is in hospice and dying and my mom wanted his wedding ring. We watched this video and tried it and the ring came right off!!! Thank you so much! ❤

Thank you so much. Finally got the ring off my teen's finger. Her ring was seriously stuck. Neither Water, soap, lotion, nor Vaseline helped. Kids grow fast so her hand is bigger now than when she first put this horrific ring on. I added lotion AFTER i wrapped the string around. Bless You.

Also holding your hand up in the air above your head for five minutes allows some blood and fluid to drain out of your fingers making your fingers a tiny bit thinner, followed by generous amount of soap to make your finger and ring slippery. Always worked for me.

It worked but I didn’t have to wrap my finger, just did it while showering and used some soap and moved the floss in a way that the ring started to rotate, it was painless and quick. Couldn’t remove it for like around 8 years.

This shenanigan works. If you loop it tight enough to bind your finger down, tie it very tight at the end, and hold on to ya butts, cause it hurts if that puppy's really stuck. But. It works.

Oh, but first try to just wait a couple hours. Finger girth fluctuates throught the day.

Finger girth... Yes, I'm a lesbian.

Didn't work for me, have on large tower like ring. Just gonna ice tonight. Soap and water. Step 2, go get someone or Dr to cut it off. Ughhhh

Judging how quickly the floss was thread under, the ring could not of been that tight in the first place.

Try filming the video a little faster next time to see how hard you can make it for people to see what you’re doing 👍🏻.
