I try to go to the jewelry store to have it cleaned every 3 or 4 weeks, and it stays sparkly much longer if I don't bathe/workout/etc in it.</p> <p>I always leave my tiny pave band on though. Mainly because I feel self-conscious being pregnant and not having a band on, if I have to run out somewhere. That is so old school but I'm very wary of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-246314 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 21:04:53 +0000 Grace 246314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never take them off. Hubs does though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245588 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:26:06 +0000 Rubies 245588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I was pregnant, I wore my rings all the time, 24/7. Since being pregnant/having LO, my hands swell so much in the mornings that I have to take them off at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245584 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:23:56 +0000 chopsuey 245584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually keep my rings on all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245577 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:21:50 +0000 DigAPony 245577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take my rings off to shower, do dishes, and do messy food prep like handling raw meat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245464 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:03:30 +0000 tororojo 245464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: We've also been married a little over a year (April 2011) and for me, taking the ring off is mainly about comfort. As soon as I walk in the door, I take off shoes, rings, earrings and put my hair up. I have to be free! None of those things bother me until I get home but then I have to go into vegetable mode. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245356 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:01:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 245356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>confession, since I got pregnant the second time around, I haven't put on my wedding ring on since. :| </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245347 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:58:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 245347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always take them off at night. My fingers get swollen during the night and I can't stand when they are too tight. Plus, I have heard the same thing, that it wears them down slightly faster, and I'm afraid of scratching H. But I take off ALL jewelry to sleep-- stud earrings, necklace, bracelet, it all comes off.<br /> H also wants me to take it off at night-- partly for the scratching thing, but he feels like it's extra unnecessary wear on it. But he wears his plain platinum band all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245290 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:26:34 +0000 Shutterbug 245290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine off when I get home. I didn't always do that, but I started to get a rash under my rings (I think water/soap is getting stuck under the eternity band) so my Dr said to take them off and let it air out. Now I'm just used to taking them off.</p> <p>In fact, I'm not wearing them now because I forgot to put them back on when I left for work today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245284 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:24:20 +0000 Smurfette 245284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I don't sleep, shower, or cook with mine on. DH takes his off as soon as he gets home. If we are home all day I usually don't put my rings on. Or I will wear one of my wedding bands, I have two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245283 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:23:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 245283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: us too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245281 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:22:07 +0000 Meridian 245281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take my wedding band off every day when I get home.

She's had diamonds come loose that way! So I take them off!</p> <p>And especially with M now I'm afraid of hitting her with it so it comes off as soon as I get home.</p> <p>ETA: My husband pretty much keeps his on all the time. It's a plain platinum band so pretty much indestructible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245276 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:20:14 +0000 autumnlove 245276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: same here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245275 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:20:07 +0000 Running Elley 245275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ve always taken it off before I go to bed, even before I was pregnant. Now it’s a necessity! I forgot last night and I went to take it off during one of my middle of the night bathroom trips and it was really hard to get off my finger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245269 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:18:58 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 245269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it's been more than 2 years for us and 3 since I first received my e-ring. I always take it off when i'm asleep and for so may other things. It bothers me than anything else....DH doesn't like when were cuddling or something and he gets scratched! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245257 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:15:21 +0000 Mrsbells 245257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: yes I used to do that i the beginning when we first got married, I just wanted to keep it safe.. but now that its been over a year I'm trying to relax and keep it on more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245254 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:13:33 +0000 tororojo 245254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only wear my rings when leaving the house; I usually take them off right when I get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245247 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:09:41 +0000 looch 245247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually only put my rings on when we're going somewhere that requires me getting dressed in something other than my SAHM uniform of a tank top and sport skort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-wedding-band-off-at-night#post-245245 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:09:40 +0000 plaidpants 245245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the same as @mrs. bird.
