How to Remove a Ring that is Stuck on your Finger DIY

[@munagurung9693]

Eventhough this videos is 8 years ago but today it works like magic 🙏🏻 I'm so relieved that the ring is out now. Though its painful but I sang a song to avoid the pain and 5/6 round I did it. Thankyou very much for this grate help🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️

[@jeancarlson7380]

I did this ribbon technique today with my husbands assistance. My knuckle was swollen more than on the demo video and it worked perfectly! THANK YOU!!❤

[@kenc3622]

Any time you try this or a similar technique to remove a stuck ring it's better to start from near the finger tip and work back since it won't trap fluid or blood in the fingertip. Plus a large eyed darning needle would be a mush better and safer way to get the floss under the ring. 1/4 inch elastic bands work better than floss for this and usually can be bought in the sewing department of stores.

[@naamayarhi3760]

Ho my God!!! I cannot believe it actually worked!!!! I tried taking off my ring with absolutely everything!!!! Thank you for saving my grandmother's ring and my finger!!!

[@8610sarge]

excellent, not been able to remove my ring for over 20yrs, this did the job in minutes, thanks for posting

[@TaylorsTopics]

WOW,are you serious ?? Wouldn't skin peel under the ring when you're wearing it that long ?,Anyway,if that happened to me,I would be glad to feel the cool air hit my finger

[@MRTOMBO]

Could you have used the back end of a sewing needle with the floss through it to speed up getting the floss under the ring?

[@luckyiliveHI]

Thank you for this video! I just got my ring off that has been stuck for months! I appreciate you!

[@Wendalore65]

"Right idea, wrong method. Wrapping from the ring outward (from the ring, UP the finger) traps the blood and CAUSES THE FINGER TIP TO SWELL. Instead, start wrapping from a point past the knuckle and work towards the ring. Then use something blunt (not a safety pin) to push the string under the ring. Finally unwind as shown. This way will give you better compression because you're not working against the blood." This is a comment that was posted over a year ago that I just found on this thread. I also read the same comment on another site. Also, a British video of a medical professional (it's here on You Tube, also) shows them using some kind of medical elastic thing to wrap the finger, and they start RIGHT ABOVE THE SWOLLEN KNUCKLE, not where the ring is. I think it's worth considering. (Also, of course, as many people on this thread say, using a safety pin to push the floss under the ring is not very smart, as it may prick your finger.)

[@urbanhow2do]

Wendalore65 Thanks for your comments. Yes a blunt object like a paper clip is the way to go. when I made this video a safety pin was the only thing i had on hand.

[@Wendalore65]

urbanhow2do Oh, good. Now my ring is not on my finger. I had to have it cut off, as the large rectangular aquamarine stone set into it would not allow the floss to wind around and around. Another interesting thing in my case is that I still have "trigger finger" from the swelling I got from having that ring on my finger for so long without my realizing that it was way too tight. I had put another ring on the same finger in memory of someone who died in 2010, and it concealed the swelling etc. So now I have to probably go to a hand specialist. Been working in the garden and straining that finger, too, which has not helped. Well, it was a learning experience. The jewelry charged me $10 to cut it off. Snip! and it was off. What a relief. But sad.

[@annking8156]

The first time I tried this was wrapping from the tip of my finger towards the ring like I had seen in a different video, but what happened was it trapped the blood at the ring making it impossible to get the ring off. doing it as shown in the video is the way to go and worked for me. my finger was so purple, but it really didn't hurt at all. definitely wouldn't use a safety pin though. maybe tweezers.

[@sarah-ue4wr]

+Mineav i could live without knowing that

[@dethslaker1990]

there diffrent ways to do things but as long as it works it dosnt matter

[@anthonyraineri5190]

I had no floss so I used Christmas package ribbon. I greased the inside of the ring with coconut oil to glide easily over the ribbon. It took a few tries but it worked. I used about 6 inches of ribbon towards my palm and 2 and feet wrapped around my finger.

[@shellyreynolds2548]

My husband's ring has been stuck on his finger for a while and he had to get it off because he's about to have surgery. Thank you for posting this! It totally worked!

[@tyandbecky]

If he ever has to have surgery again and his ring is too tight to take off, then no one at the hospital is going to be able to simply slip it off without someone noticing -- very little chance of getting stolen. I've had 10 surgeries since my rings wouldn't come off. Just tell them to wrap them (and your finger) in tape. It's fine.

[@leeannemanuel1255]

The method to remove the ring worked great and I actually had no trouble putting it back on without wrapping the knuckle, thank goodness.

[@catherinelallin]

OMG! How fabulous is this trick! Forget using a sharp pin though. I wrapped floss around the end of a bobby pin (you can use any flat surface) and it slid right under the first time.Didn't work the first time but with just a few drops of dish soap, shazam!

[@konsgeorg5075]

i am impressed with how simple and clever this method is. nice!

[@franchescamarie]

OMG I OWE YOU MY LIFE!!!! (not really lol) but this method works miracles!!!!!! i didnt think i would be able to get my ring off. i tried baby oil and vaseline to squeeze it off and both just mad my finger swollen. with this method i did squirt alot of baby oil on my finger as i "flossed" the ring up and it helped alot. omg this method reallllly works!

[@NooBGrave]

Thank you very much this method really helped!! I spent my whole night trying to find an easy method and this one was it!

[@rajnidaulta1172]

I removed my ring from this trick today on December 11 2022...thanks bro For making this video wish you good luck and keep it up for making such type of useful videos in future. love from India.👍🙏🙏

[@SeanHayfordOleary]

This really works! I was so surprised. Helped my dad get a ring off that seems welded to his finger.

[@LindaVeeSado]

Worked great for me and my finger was pretty swollen after trying everything else I could think of. But I had to do it twice. The first time I didn't wrap it well enough. The second time I totally wrapped a ton of floss around it like a mummy so no skin was exposed and then it worked fine

[@miam.e8396]

Thank you for this. I tried the other version wherein you'll compress starting at your fingertip but its more painful and just didn't work. This one did but you really have to work fast since you can see your tips turning blue. Maybe it just depends on what works best. Thanks again!😻

[@amandadavis8855]

YAY!!!! Thank you SO MUCH man!!!! I was pregnant & unable to wear my engagement ring for like 4 months & then was so excited to put it back on after my son was born...shoulda waited a bit, of course I am still too swollen to wear it, DUH, lol. Had to do this twice but 2nd time's a charm! YAY!! Thank you!

[@feuquegougueul1592]

Thanks! As a retired emergency doctor, often we cuts this rings with a special tool (that looks like a can opener). Or we cut the finger, if the ring was a very expensive one! (Kidding again) ;))

[@greystarr]

I think I would use a toothpick rather then a pin ... very cool that it works, and very brave for you to demonstrate ...

[@pamlee7125]

Thank yo u. I a m Worried about !y two rings on my swollen finger and your clear instructions are a great help. I will have a try. I do a lot of crochet so am keen to reduce the swelling. (excuse mistakes in typing )

[@mzbrazell]

Ive tried this about 4 or 5 times now and it ALWAYS works!

[@twilson7384]

thank you very much saved me from potentially hurting my self by cutting the ring off with power tools. but i found that the floss was not strong enough for me (kept breaking). i just switched it out with fishing line ring was off within 2 minutes.

[@cloudho5190]

好用, 可是別針有點危險吧, 可以用迴紋針嗎?把迴紋針(a paper clip)折出來一下, 會不會比較安全些?

[@gabbyredmond9012]

This method is for a ring that is really stuck...whether swollen, weight gain, etc. Just tried oil and it was no go. This method is for more seriously bigger finger than the ring. I am going to try it right now. Exellent presentation. Thanks to you for that.

[@urbanhow2do]

Sorry to hear that. In one case we wrapped the finger so much with floss you could barely see finger. That was the only way to remove the super stuck ring without resorting to cutting it off.

[@madamassiel]

Worked like a miracle!!! I had my ring stuck since last night and my knuckle was swollen because I was trying so hard to pull it off with the soap and water/ lotion method. I went to the nurse and she couldn't pull the dang thing off either!! She gave me some ice for the swelling and a pat on the back as I imagined my life with this stupid ring! I'd be a 90 yr old lady telling my grandkids: "YA see this ring? I had it since I was 15" Smh Thnk God it's off now.....

[@barbaratrujillo9744]

You have obviously never had a tight ring before....Sometimes lubrication just isn't enough. This is the same method they use at the hospital to avoid cutting the ring.

[@Vixxsin14000]

I just managed to get my ring off with this method. It was kind of painful (I've been trying to get it off for 2 days so it was a bit swollen) but it did the job. Cheers

[@troyster2001]

I got my fiance an engagement ring she tried it on & it didn't fit. For two days she tried everything, by this point it hurt & her finger was swelling. so we found your video..tried it & ta-da it worked. THANK YOU!!!!!! THIS REALLY WORKS!!!!

[@lizrosebroker]

Who would of thunk it! LOL, I have done this so many times!! Thanks so much for posting this. I plan on watching it a few times to get this down, because who doesn't get your ring stuck? :)

[@annaboo1205]

Just managed to get my mothers ring off my finger using this method. I didn't want to have it cut off . It took a few attempts but ur worked for me

[@PatelBR04]

Thanks Bhai apake ek video se Mera fansa hua anguthi nikal Gaya thanku so much ❤❤

[@WolfRotten]

Seems useful. But i wonder whether there is enough space for the floss to go through. Must stuck yourself...

[@cowboysam1957]

IT'S EASIER IF YOU CUT OFF YOUR FINGER FIRST...PULL OFF THE RING...AND THEN USE THE DENTAL FLOSS TO TIE OFF YOUR FINGER AND STOP THE BLEEDING.

[@ligiamayelaocampooviedo3494]

Gracias a su video le pude ayudar a Vivian, una de mis estudiantes a retirar su anillo preferido. Excelente.

[@lawrenciasarfofrimpomaa7401]

God really bless you. I did it for my husband and it was a magic.

[@shiddharthgandhi641]

Thank you very much my ring is also stuck and do lot of things to remove i try it with oil but it dont work but atlast my ring is removed from my finger thank you verrrrryyyyyy much👌

[@jenjenbucad5244]

Thank you so much natanggal ko na sing sing sa kamay ko ilang araw ko na rin sya tinatanggal ayaw talaga nlhalos mamaga na kakapilit ko tanggalin salamt napanood ko tong video

[@steventhompson6271]

This just saved my a**. It was swollen enough where it could barely turn and I managed to get it off. The only thing was the floss broke just as I got past the joint, but luckily it was far to get it off.

[@Romruiel]

其實穿線進去時用縫衣的針幫忙會比較安全.. You can also use a needle to help the line to get through the ring instead..

[@mandycollison6451]

I just tried this and all I suceeded in doing was making my finger very, very sore.

[@linam4848]

It took 2 minutes thank you so much !!!

[@zmortis111]

I had a stuck wedding ring and I tried the wound dental floss method. It compressed the skin enough than the unwinding moved the ring right past the problematic knuckle. It worked for me, but I don't know it would work in every situation.

[@Dodsfall121]

You learn something new every day.

[@kelekisGR]

Guess who's got a new GF

[@zmortis111]

kelekisGR More like who put on too much weight. My wedding ring was starting to get uncomfortable on my ring finger. Moved it to my pinky finger with the wife's ok.

[@ROOGHZ.]

@@zmortis111 hiiii are you answer me 2019?

[@mazinhamsters6]

I tried soap, floss, and elastic. The person I tried it on has a swollen knuckle and it did not want to go past it :p We just made it worse :(

[@mikeymyer]

I think with swollen knuckle, it's the knuckle itself that blocks the ring, not the skin so this method may not work

[@jackfrost2146]

You could also wrap the floss on the other side of the ring and around your whole body and take it off in the other direction.

[@myamazinglife4389]

Lol

[@amazinggrace3207]

Simply thread the floss through a sewing needle and pull through. Much easier.

[@leeannemanuel1255]

I would like to know if you can put the ring back on the same way. I have to remove it for a surgery, but would like to put it back on afterwards.

[@urbanhow2do]

Lee Ann Emanuel It might just work. After wrapping your finger add a little dish soap to your finger. Let me know if it works.

[@jackflorence6562]

+Lee Ann Emanuel Just get it sized for your hand

[@kongma]

At one point I thought your finger is about to explode...

[@einatkisin1043]

Works perfect for me, tried it's twice for me and other person , thanks for the video.

[@tooljunkie555]

I would use something other than a safety pin but no shit that is awesome!!

[@vladimirmorgos5067]

Thx very much , my mumm is happy now, your method works fantastic,you made our day. Thank you very much :)

[@impamiizgraa]

Tried this and it didn't work. Used an oxygen mask string and a condom, too. In the end I went to A&E and they had to cut it in 3 places before I yanked it off myself.... Such sweet relief! If your knuckle is really swollen and the rind is low down on the finger, this will not work.

[@divaloca9575]

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.

[@aazz6553]

Thank you bro it really helps to remove my ring from my swollen finger....

[@brittanyjohnson597]

this WORKS WONDERS! I had a ring stuck on my middle finger. my finger got SUPER SWOLLEN and purplish blue. I just tried this and it worked INSTANTLY

[@terkapapa]

Nagyon ötletes megoldás ha a gyürünket nem tudjunk az ujjunkrol lehúzni, nézzétek meg, én ki is probáltam, müködik!

[@ToriBabyCODM]

This does not work for rings with large diamonds or designed shaped rings. Mine has a slight zig-zag on top where the diamond are. It doesn't work if your ring isn't smoothly round with no grooves. I hurt my finger pretty bad trying to do this.

[@TheSeancassady]

***** That's when you go to your local fire station and they can cut it off for you.

[@theboxingmasta651]

Id say pawn ur finger with its treasures

[@Wendalore65]

THE BOXING THING Then they can do as they wish with the rest of me. Okay. Why didn't I think of that?

[@TheSeancassady]

Does her ring have some sort of deviation from a smooth circular surface all the way around. It is limited by that, I know it wouldn't work on my wifes ring because there is a pointed portion.

[@cabji]

yes she has princess cut diamonds at the top held by titanium arms which protrude a bit. it sort of works, but you lose maybe 30% of your string wind from it and her finger swelling was pretty big.

[@anaifigueroa]

Does it hurts when you pullm it off?

[@judithpalliser3311]

Many thanks from down here in NZ.

[@zanterra1000]

Thank you so much it worked upon the 3rd try but it did work and people there is some pain with this method but not too much :)

[@Nao20244]

How about just pulling out after the thread is tied instead of unwinding the thread

[@lalagirl211]

How come it fit when to put but difficult to take it out?

[@snakehands]

I saw a video before this one that did the same method but with a ribbon instead of floss. I did that method and it worked but it hurt - now that I see this one I think it may be better because it 'walks' the ring off the finger more slowly so it probably hurts less. Oh well, at least I got it off so I can resize it without having to cut it off!

[@FaZemafoo]

tried it twice almost cut my finger off.....WTF

[@kristykaidas7207]

This saved my night! Like others said this method is not pain free but it will get that sucker off.

[@jimwoods8998]

Couldn't you use a paper clip in place of the safety pin?

[@4976436]

why not use soap or any cream?

[@SuperLinz19]

what can you use if you don't have floss?

[@susieavchen199]

the floss kept getting caught on the diamond setting as I was trying to pull it off and then halfway thru, the floss shredded and broke, then my finger was REALLY stuck!!! AArrrgghh, I was screaming and half the floss was still stuck tight around my finger! And to make it worse, I had used a little vaseline and I couldn't get a hold of anything. Finally got the ring back down to the base of my finger. When the swelling goes down, maybe I will try using a stronger floss.

FANTASTIC TRICK TO TAKE OFF RING FROM FINGER

[@Thedanbot1]

It worked for me. took a bit of extra pushing off once i got it going but it worked. Apparently I'm a 7.5 not a 7.

[@hardworkinggzp1023]

Thanks bhai. Hamari av phasi hue ring nikal gayi hai.

[@flyingwithdream7297]

Why don't use oil?

[@garysmart1]

this thing only work on a flat ring like in this video, but the diamond or ruby those are thin rings and they are like sharp so I cut my ring with wire cutter

[@karin3065]

You’re my life savor !! Thank you so much

[@naami2004]

Thank you, I just used this method! with a lot of pain :)

[@micro222able]

How do you put the ring back on ;P

[@pjz7]

It worked perfectly! Thank you!

[@MessageDoctrine]

Just using Dawn Dish Soap works much quicker, it lubricates your hand and the ring just slides off

[@sosumaster]

Right idea, wrong method. Wrapping from the ring outward traps the blood and causes the finger tip to swell. Instead start wrapping from a point past the knuckle and work towards the ring. Then use something blunt (not a safety pin) to push the string under the ring. Finally unwind as shown. This way will give you better compression because you're not working against the blood.

[@chrischienproperty]

wow what a smart ass

[@sosumaster]

you should know where his ass is...you've been licking it for years! and i would like to see you make me do anything you fucktard. is that the best you can accomplish?

[@chrischienproperty]

i love you

[@kevinblus7154]

Totally thought he was going to puncture his finger to let the blood out

[@v0227393161]

Thanks for sharing this video. And I am going to show it to my friend on my Facebook.

[@magicmike1122]

I tried this, and man it hurt really bad. So I added soap, and redid this method and it worked. The ring got stuck half way, so I would have to wrap the finger again, then start over. Very painful, but it's off now.

[@emmabehrens1106]

Thank you so much for this technique!

[@HanyouxFromxHell]

someone managed to shred their finger with this plan. Mind testing out ribbon to see if that works too?

[@johncena-wd7wq]

my name is pablo and i have a ring on my finger that doesnt wanna come off my boyfriend trys to cut it off but nothing is working but i wanna know if only dental floss works on that???

[@jameelyousuf3359]

great idea. every turn stops the skin from moving to the next turn.

[@zarinazarina7089]

Thank friend I tryed this to my finger amazing thank you soo much

[@pintyo-plays]

Thank you so much!

[@DesserTray5]

Doesn't that hurt even to get it off?

[@DejiaofOrlando]

Worked! I had an allergic reaction my finger was swollen. I was in a panic.

[@Bostonite1985]

There are easier ways to get a ring off your finger. Get a 10 inch deep glass and pour some oil (olive or veg oil) into it. Heat it in a microwave until lukewarm. Dip your ring finger into the oil till it is fully submerged. Soak for two minutes. Take gently slide the ring out. The oily slippery surface of your finger should make the process easier.

[@madisonl3401]

This does not work if your knuckles are inflamed from arthritis..

[@ItachiUchiha-cz1oh]

It works 💯, thanks for sharing!

[@carronalee]

Good tip except from the part when he insisted upon trying to shove the floss through the ring with a sharp pin. Could've used any old BLUNT stick type thing. You can see a bit of blood on the floss and he's got a tiny wound where his ring was where he kept sticking himself with the pin!

[@kendyllgaster8897]

this actually worked. thank you so much

[@siuming124]

why dont use the needle with thread ?

[@siuming124]

or threading with dental floss
