I hate taking them off. I was so sad that I had to take my rings off at about 17ish weeks when I was pregnant made me feel naked. Just got them both back on yesterday and I'm so excited!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for/page/2#post-180494 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:07:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 180494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sooo surprised at the number of people who consistently take them off or don't wear them much. wow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for/page/2#post-180462 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:54:40 +0000 cyneswith 180462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had to take mine off, as my pregnancy skin is really sensitive to the metal. Normally, it's just when I'm sticking my hands in ground meat, and sometimes dough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for/page/2#post-180443 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:41:28 +0000 purrpletulips 180443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them off to put on lotion but otherwise never. I had to take them off over the Memorial Day weekend because of swelling; however since the weather has calmed back down to "normal" I've put my wedding band back on but not my e-ring. It now lives in our gun safe and will probably be there until after LO#2 is several months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for/page/2#post-180364 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:49:31 +0000 Alivoo01 180364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My rings sit in a ring box when I'm home and I don't wear them to the shop on the weekends either. I'm afraid I'll hit the diamond against something, loosen the prongs, and/or lose the diamond. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for/page/2#post-180287 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:16:42 +0000 Smurfette 180287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine off at the gym, showering, sleeping and some cooking, just depends on what I am making. Lately when I get home from the gym, I haven't been putting them back on after I shower for the night. Just put back on when I leave for work the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180284 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:15:40 +0000 hilsy85 180284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showering, doing dishes, sleeping, baking, cleaning with any sort of chemicals/household products, swimming, or doing any sort of physical activity (working out, skiing, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180280 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:12:24 +0000 sandy 180280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine off for mixing hamburger, LO's bathtime and when I go to bed for the night (don't put them back on until I'm ready for the day - after showering) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180260 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 08:56:01 +0000 mrs. wagon 180260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: omg that's my nightmare :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180256 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 08:55:20 +0000 regberadaisy 180256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doing dishes, cooking/baking, yard work, shower and to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180255 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 08:53:55 +0000 edelweiss 180255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i take my rings off as soon as i get home. i accidentally hit one of my pugs very close to the eye with my engagement ring once and since then i've always taken them off when i'm hanging out at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180223 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 08:23:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 180223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine off as soon as I get home, I change out of work clothes and take rings off before starting dinner. I hate cooking/doing dishes and having my ring on. So pretty much I only wear it out when I'm out in public, DH doesn't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180154 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 06:08:24 +0000 Penny Lane 180154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showering, kneading dough and occasionally to sleep.

They get too mucked up with all the handwashing, cooking and diaper changing.</p> <p>I do wear them when we go out as a family, but during the week, I mostly don't ever put it on. I do love my rings, though, I will get back to wearing them more at some point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180055 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 22:01:14 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 180055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my engagement ring off to cut up chicken.

I usually will wear my wedding band on a daily basis. I do take off my rings when I am showering, cleaning, or sleeping. Mr. D and I are walking about trading in my e-ring and wedding bands and getting one larger, fancier band. That way I wear it more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180045 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:45:44 +0000 sulli301 180045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take my ring off to shower/bathe, sleep &amp; if I'm doing anything messy, like baking. We registered for a crystal ring holder that matched some of our other wedding items, &amp; now I am so glad we did! I use it everyday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180043 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:41:31 +0000 Pancakes 180043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@EEH I also hate the feeling of water underneath my rings!</p> <p>I pretty much never wear mine at home. I've always been paranoid about losing the diamond down the drain or something. I take all my jewelry off as soon as I get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180041 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:39:32 +0000 aMohror 180041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine comes off when applying any lotion or sunscreen. Also, every night when I go to bed because it's a marquise cut and it's very sharp and my hubby got REALLY tired of me scratching him and giving him welts with it! It doesn't go back on until after I shower the next day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180014 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:05:05 +0000 MsLipGloss 180014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only to shower, or if I am doing something messy in the kitchen (which is rare!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180012 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:58:51 +0000 Rubies 180012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My wedding band only comes off when it's really hot out and my fingers swell. My engagement ring is off 90% of the time only because it was originally a bit snug and with all the pregnancy weight I'm still carrying, it rarely fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-180003 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:50:42 +0000 Mrs. Pen 180003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: shouldn't it be the opposite? like it should feel weird to have marital sex with no ring on lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-179999 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:46:59 +0000 Grace 179999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Oh, I agree with you but he says it feels weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-179964 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:23:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 179964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: same here. I freak if it's not on my finger. I have one of those unconscious checks for it too, my ring is a little big for my finger, by maybe 1/4 of a size. so it's constantly sliding to the side, and I always scoot my middle finger against it to straighten it. I do that when I'm not wearing my ring and realize it's not on my finger!<br /> I hate the feeling of it not being there.</p> <p>@Grace: lol that's funny. why sex?! that seems so weird to me.<br /> DH NEVER takes his off. Even when handling dough. But he also has just a band with no crevices for dough to get stuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-179941 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 20:06:47 +0000 Grace 179941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when I'm putting lotion or hair goop on or when I'm kneeding dough or meat. DH takes his off for sex. I tease him that he liked single sex better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-179911 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:45:31 +0000 mamabolt 179911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now my hands are too swollen so I haven't worn my wedding set in almost a month but before that I took them off usually at the end of the day right before bed and put them on after I shower in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-179910 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:44:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 179910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't wear my engagement ring, and my wedding band is just a plain gold band, so pretty much never. Except it's on a chain around my neck now because my fingers have been replaced by swollen sausages and I was having nightmares about it having to be cut off. My finger is still feeling sad and naked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-179897 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:34:48 +0000 autumnlove 179897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them off when I get home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-take-your-wedding-ring-off-for#post-179895 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 19:33:38 +0000 eeh 179895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take it off pretty much as soon as I get home. I don't wear it while cooking, sleeping, doing dishes, showering, etc. I also take it off when I'm washing my hands regardless of where I am. I hate the feeling of water underneath my rings and my fingers being wet so I tuck it in my pocket, wash and dry, then put it back on. </p>
