Рет қаралды 2,722,930
Күн бұрынVideo tutorial on how to remove a ring that is badly stuck on a swollen or arthritic finger, with dental floss or thread when its jammed and starting to cut off circulation. Don't get out your pliers and ruin your engagement ring or wedding ring. Save yourself a trip to the hospital emergency department and use the dental floss string trick. Should also work on a toe ring.

The hardest part is getting it over the swollen knuckle If your finger is turning blue and it still will not come off you can lubricate your finger with vegetable oil, windex, dish washing detergent, soap or some other non dangerous lubricant.
Will not work for nose ring, ear ring, belly button ring or other types of piercing.

Literally, if I haven't tried this method at least 15 times than not at all... it never worked. My wedding ring was stuck for 5 years. I tried this method based on other videos about it, didn't work, even with using soap. Then today I read an arcticle with some additional tips and this video, which was the first one really clearly explaining how you really should do this! And it WORKED! If you were curious, these are additional things that could help: 1. Lift your hand up for a few minutes, let the blood flow down to the shoulder from the finger. 2. Put your hand in cold water for a few minutes. (Not ice cold, don't hurt yourself!) 3. Then oil on the finger. 4. Then this trick with the thread in the video. Really, guys, it is important to keep rolling the thread really close to each other. You may add oil before and after this trick. Thanks for this video!

Thank you for explaining this!! I was aware that dental floss could help get rings off, but I had never seen the unwinding from the other side, I thought you just wound it until your finger was skinny, but I just couldn't get it. So I searched for videos and yours came up first, and the unwinding was budging the ring bit by bit, whilst moving the bulge from one side of the ring to the other! I had a purple finger for a wee bit,but moved along quickly, adjusting the wind here and there, but my ring moving forward the whole time, and now it's off! Yay! Thanks!!

This really does work. I’m on holiday and the heat swelled my fingers to the point my wedding band wouldn’t budge. It may not work at the first attempt. Try keeping your arm elevated for a little bit and cool finger with cold water if it doesn’t work first time. Give yourself quite a lot of dental floss to work with and try again after letting it rest a while. I really didn’t fancy going to an emergency room on holiday, so can’t thank this video enough 👍

ANOTHER HELPFUL TIP: if you are like me and couldn’t get the dental floss under the ring, use a slightly watered- down soap and rub it around the ring and surrounding skin. It allows the ring to twist so you can slide it off.

@martyspargur5281 6 жыл бұрын
Start wrapping closer to the end of your finger, like 6 or 7mm (1/4") up from the ring. Wrap the string Towards the ring, not towards the end of your finger. You don't need anything to push the string under the ring, it will slide over the string by itself. If you wrap the string towards the tip of your finger as shown, you are trapping blood and compressing it in the tip of your finger, which is not good. Try to find something thicker than dental floss if possible, thinner string will be more likely to cut the skin. To prevent re-occourance, get a divorce.
