who ever discovered this is a life saver!!!! I'm 9 months pregnant and my ring was stuck dealing with the swelling! it was real bad! I thought I was going to Loose my wedding ring finger!! 😭 I finally did this and got it out! thank you so much for your video it saved my finger!!!
Thanks for the video, this 100% worked! Jammed my ring finger playing basketball, and it was way more swollen than the finger in this video. My brother-in-law was completely convinced there was no way, but we did this trick, put a little vaseline on the dental floss above the ring, did a quick rewrap once it was mid-swelling and off it came! Amazing. This was a great life hack! Tip: We did the attempt after submerging the finger in an ice-water bath for ten minutes. I think it helped a bit.
Brian's wife here... All I can say is YAY!!!! It worked. I was so afraid that I would have to cut my wedding ring, and sadly my hubby passed away earlier this year so it couldn't be replaced.. I developed edema and my fingers swelled up.. and on bad days, it was becoming painful.. so bless you
Hi Mrs Dougan. I’m really sorry for your loss of Brian but I’m glad this video helped you save the ring which undoubtedly helps you remember all the fantastic times you had together. Glad to be of service. ❤️
Ugh, thanks so much! You’re a life saver. Yesterday, I’d gotten stuck with a ring that a friend of mine had gifted me around 17 years ago. I had to sleep with it on even though I don’t like sleeping w/jewelry on. Now thanks to your video I was able to remove it. What would we do without people like you and CZcams? 😅
I had my beautiful ring stuck on my finger for a day, came across your video tried it and oh my goodness IT WORKS along with patience, I had to wrap it like 3 times but it did work, my ring was saved, thank you for sharing. May God bless you.
This worked! A nurse on the call line said it was either try dental floss or go to emergency and get the ring cut off. I didnt want to cut the ring, so I tried this while watching the video. I had to ice (with a bit of dawn soap in water) my finger in several times in between, but this technique saved my new ring that got stuck and my finger swelled around it! Thank you it was helpful seeing how to wrap an actually swollen finger and remove the ring.
Thank you so much, much appreciated. I didn't believe the technique would work until I saw it here because the finger was so swollen. Tried it and it worked!
Thank you so much for posting this video. We tried for hours but nothing seemed to work and my finger was getting worse. I placed my hand in ice water and then elevated for a few minutes to reduce swelling and tried your dental floss method. It took a few tries but each time we had progress and was able to get it off. Thank you!!!
I remembered mom recently couldn’t get her 63rd year wedding ring off and a friend used winded and floss. Voilà! Now my turn. Needed some reference to jog my memory. I sometimes swell up and this time I was attempting to take off a ring and my finger turned purple. Thanks for your help. I did use windex which popped it right off.
Didn't work the first time my wife tried it, BUT we waited a day for the swelling to lessen. We also used a shoelace instead of dental floss (it dug into her skin less). Removed all 3 bands of her wedding ring with no problem. Thank you for the video.
I literally just copied your video and got my ring off. My finger was in agony, actually thought I'd need to have it cut off by someone before I went crazy! Thankyou so much.
It works. Thank you. Somehow bruised my ring finger and it was just swelling up. Took three winds, got to the knuckle on the second. Quite painful but worth it.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I have surgery coming up and I knew if I couldn't get it off on my own they would cut it off before surgery. I am so happy that you posted this, it was a life saver!!! :-) My ring is saved!!!
It really works, I was wearing my mother's engagement band since I was 16 and now I'm 60 and I did gain a few pounds. I know I would have problems removing the band and it was starting to hurt my finger. I tried vaseline and soap...did not work. I tried the dental floss and, yes it hurts a little, and my finger is now swollen but it worked, the band is off and I guess I'll wear it now around my neck together with my father's engagement band.
Thank God for this video! I tried on my great grandmothers wedding ring and it got stuck and didn't really want to get the 100 year old ring cut off my finger!
Thank u soooo much as this video helped us to remove a ring stuck in my friends finger and irt was swollen but it came out with in a minute after using this technique..Kindly keep us charging by posting such awesome videos..Thanks once more..
Thank you for sharing that with us!! Just to add a suggestion I read elsewhere, because you started wrapping at the ring. Instead, they suggest you start wrapping above the swollen area, above the knuckle somewhere: "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." That may have happened to you, causing your finger to be more swollen than necessary so that you had to do more wrapping above the ring to get the finger to be smaller so you could get the ring over it. Well, thanks again! Looks like it hurt! some!!
My finger was swollen like that and this video gave me courage to try again with the dental floss and I was able to do it all by myself and it hurt but not a lot and most important, I got the ring off!!!
Your video gave me hope. I've watch multiple videos where they've used the same method as this but didn't think it was going to work because their fingers weren't as swollen as your wife's. I tried it again today after many attempts but it worked. 1 ring off and 1 more to go .. waiting for my finger to cool down before doing another one.
Thank you so much for your video. I just finished doing the same procedure on my pointer finger. I have a huge cut and when pulling the string I tried avoiding the string from going into the open cut wound. Hurt like hell but I kept doing your procedure and finally it got off. Again thank you
Thank you so much!!! Today I tried this trick and it really worked. But had little pain in finger as finger was swollen so applied shampoo along with it.
Thank you very much! It helped me bring my ring out of my swollen finger. I had to rewrap twice to bring the ring out. I had to struggle a bit but it was all worth it.
Broo thanks. My friend got a ring stuck and his finger was soo freaking purple. But stayed calmed and wind it up 3 times until he was able to pull it. It's painful just be patient😅
Will my ring size make a difference from getting it sized and bought at 70-80 degrees vs 95? I’m wanting to buy a ring but I’m a little nervous because I read hands can swell. Btw I’m in Texas so idk
Skyhawk J.D hi I'm not a medical professional so I have no idea? This works when the finger has swollen bigger than normal size as the thread compresses the swelling but if the ring is stuck for some other reason I don't know? It's your decision if you try it I guess
please please please dont wind away from the ring start at the finger tip and wind toward the ring feed the floss under the ring and unwind its so much easyer
Literally it's the same thing, only your way means u have to feed the floss when it's tightly wrapped around your finger.... So if it takes time to get the floss under the ring, you're suffering unnecessarily.
Duhh.... Start winding the string from the tip end of the finger then pull the string under the ring. KEEP slight pressure pulling the ring down while you remove the string.!! OR you will end up with the ring STUCK on the fattest part of the finger.!!
who ever discovered this is a life saver!!!! I'm 9 months pregnant and my ring was stuck dealing with the swelling! it was real bad! I thought I was going to Loose my wedding ring finger!! 😭 I finally did this and got it out! thank you so much for your video it saved my finger!!!

I'm glad everything worked out okay.
Um shoelace? I don't think so.
I literally just copied your video and got my ring off. My finger was in agony, actually thought I'd need to have it cut off by someone before I went crazy! Thankyou so much.

It's a little red on the part of the finger closest to my palm and I'm thinking it will stop being red in a few hours. I feel fine. Thank you!!!
just did it ! And it hurt only a little, but I gained only 22 pounds (10 kg) since my marriage
Your video gave me hope. I've watch multiple videos where they've used the same method as this but didn't think it was going to work because their fingers weren't as swollen as your wife's. I tried it again today after many attempts but it worked. 1 ring off and 1 more to go .. waiting for my finger to cool down before doing another one.
Susan Khieng that's excellent news that it worked for you. Good luck with the second one.
Thanks for the video it worked for me, but its extremely painful
Glad the ring it off
Thank you so much for your video. I just finished doing the same procedure on my pointer finger. I have a huge cut and when pulling the string I tried avoiding the string from going into the open cut wound. Hurt like hell but I kept doing your procedure and finally it got off. Again thank you
Ouch! Glad it helped though
This worked!! My finger is still sore and swollen. How long till the swelling went down for you all?
I’m glad it worked hope the swelling went down well
If possible wait for a cold day and let your finger shrink a bit. While unwinding ensure that someone pulls the thread away from the finger.
Thanks for contributing 👍🏻
U saved my finger today, thanks!!!!
Thank you! You just saved me a trip to the ER and my ring from being ruined
The Shady wolf homestead no problem I’m glad it helped 👍🏻

WOW!!!! You know you've seen it all when you see a three handed person!
This comment is underrated
You dont need 500 yards of string, watch video How to Remove a Ring that is Stuck on your Finger DIY
Worked perfectly ,thank u
I just tried this in my finger is so angry and more swollen! Yikes I’m about to go to the ER.
Good luck
It worked but it was painful to unrolling it. But watch the video
Glad it worked for you
Now my finger is fucking purple and the ring's still a savage 👌
My ring is currently still stuck on my finger. I guess I'm going to have to give this a try.
Yes give it a shot & let me know how you get on, good luck :)
Didn't work. I got it cut off. Finger was too swollen
Ring has protection plan on it though. Can get it sized and put back together for free. They will also buff it up for me - shiny as new!
