THANK YOU!!!!! I am 5 months pregnant and had a very hard time removing my engagement ring but forced it off. But no matter what I did I could not get the wedding band off. My finger was so swollen from the failed attempts trying different techniques. I did exactly what the video showed, although I had to use a small hair tie to keep my ring from moving on the proximal end, also I put on some dish soap when I was finished wrapping the floss but before starting to unravel. It did hurt some, but it came off in a minute. THANK YOU for posting and saving me an expense of not having to have my ring cut off!
Thank you so much, this saved my finger and my mum's wedding band. My finger had swollen due to the heat and humidity, a little perserverance and redoing the wrapping further along the finger worked. Thanks!
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!!❤
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🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
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!!!
Thank you, much clearer than others I've watched. What I don't understand is why you used a sharp point of a safety pin to push the floss under the ring, even though you did tell people not to stick it into their finger. in every house there are thin, blunt pointed items that could be use such as a tooth pick, a cocktail stick, a darning needle, a knitting needle or a crochet hook. But most logically and what I tried first and then did, on a ring that was much tighter than yours, was just to squash the soft bit of finger just above the ring and thread the end of the floss through the gap. Quick, safe and simple.
Or maybe just push a short length of the floss into the small ring on the safety pin, enough to be able to hold the short end firmly. Then try to feed the ring end of the pin under the finger ring with the floss loop until you can pull the rest through. Some needle-threaders might work or even a fine wire to make a loop.
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.
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!
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? :)
This does work! My rings were stuck so bad, my whole finger was swollen. I was about to pay to have the rings cut off, resized and repaired, until I spotted this video. Saved us a lot of money!
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
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.👍🙏🙏
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.
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.
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!😻
"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.)
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.
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.
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.
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
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 )
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!
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
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) ;))
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.....
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!
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.
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.
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👌
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!!!!
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 really works! I was so surprised. Helped my dad get a ring off that seems welded to his finger.

You’re my life savor !! Thank you so much
The method to remove the ring worked great and I actually had no trouble putting it back on without wrapping the knuckle, thank goodness.
This does work! My rings were stuck so bad, my whole finger was swollen. I was about to pay to have the rings cut off, resized and repaired, until I spotted this video. Saved us a lot of money!
I think I would use a toothpick rather then a pin ... very cool that it works, and very brave for you to demonstrate ...
It worked perfectly! Thank you!
excellent, not been able to remove my ring for over 20yrs, this did the job in minutes, thanks for posting
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

At one point I thought your finger is about to explode...
Thank you bro it really helps to remove my ring from my swollen finger....

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

FANTASTIC TRICK TO TAKE OFF RING FROM FINGER
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
that is absolutely amazing!!!
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?
Thanks for sharing, Great !
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!
Thank you very much.
Thank friend I tryed this to my finger amazing thank you soo much
It works 💯, thanks for sharing!
God really bless you. I did it for my husband and it was a magic.
Thanks for sharing this video. And I am going to show it to my friend on my Facebook.
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.
Thank you so much for the video ! it worked :D
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.
This saved my night! Like others said this method is not pain free but it will get that sucker off.
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!

Smh
Thnk God it's off now.....
Thank u so much!
Thank you it really does work!!!!!
Thank u so so much this worked just now!!
Awesome. Thanks.
I would use something other than a safety pin but no shit that is awesome!!
great idea. every turn stops the skin from moving to the next turn.
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!
absolute life saver!
Simply thread the floss through a sewing needle and pull through. Much easier.
Thanks Bhai apake ek video se Mera fansa hua anguthi nikal Gaya thanku so much ❤❤
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.
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.

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
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!!!!
Totally thought he was going to puncture his finger to let the blood out
OMG THATS SOOOO COOOL
this is so cool! thankss for the video!
THANKS SO MUCH I couldn't get my ring off and my dad helped me with this and it worked!! (I added some vaseline too)

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.
Lol
Fascinating !!
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..
Thank u so much
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 :)
Thanks! It worked
Incredibile, thanks a lot for this video really useful.
Thank you.
thanku so much!!! it worked!!
this work thanks for the help ☺
worked, thank you so much!
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?
Thanks a lot
this worked wonderfully! thank you for sharing this!
Thanks bhai.
Hamari av phasi hue ring nikal gayi hai.
Brilliant !
Chain saw works well also
