Stupid, I know. I won't give her my engagement ring, but if she lost the wedding ring, it wouldn't be the end of the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296730 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:01:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 296730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't worn mind in months due to swelling, DH took his off today for the first time in months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296676 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:26:43 +0000 PawPrints 296676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is going to be really different for most women whose rings have a diamond or other gemstone, versus the plain bands most men wear. Gemstones, diamonds in particular, really should come off your finger as soon as you get home. They need light, and any little bits of stuff that get in there block the light and make the ring look dingy. Never wear your ring in water, because stones come loose all the time and you'll never find them in water - and never wear them when cooking, cleaning, putting on lotion, hair product, anything! </p> <p>I have two Waterford crystal ring holders I received as wedding/bridal shower presents, and my rings are on those 100% of the time when I'm at home. No chance of them getting misplaced that way. I'd be very nervous if I didn't have those designated places for them. </p> <p>My husband, on the other hand, wears a platinum band that's worth as much as my rings are, but he wears it 24/7/365. I think he's taken it off like a few times in the two years we've been married. He'd definitely be prone to lose it if he put it down somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296615 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 14:04:27 +0000 immabeetoo 296615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine off whenever I'm home, they have a special box in the same spot where they stay. Even though mine isn't that high set, it catches on our dog's hair.. material if I"m sewing.. and I just feel better if it's in a cozy spot when I'm doing stuff around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296605 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 13:50:57 +0000 blackbird 296605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get skin issues if moisture stays trapped, also, and I was told that if it's a big enough problem, they would still some holes in the bottom to let some air in </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296601 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 13:45:43 +0000 photojane 296601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i take them off every night before bed and leave them on the bathroom counter. my fingers swell at night, and it's super uncomfortable. they're actually off now, because i was doing dishes and i forgot to put them back on... oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296600 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 13:44:11 +0000 oliviaoblivia 296600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are off now because my fingers are swollen :( Usually I never take them off. DH's ring is somewhere in the ocean - he lost it surfing this summer. I had a minor freak out when he told me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296509 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 11:43:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 296509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: that was my husband's prediction!! He always tells me to dry my finger really well when I wash my hands.</p> <p>I think mine is a channel set too and if I take it off and look in the back, there are so many grooves and crevices. Gunk get's stuck in there all the time and I'm always picking it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296499 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 11:37:28 +0000 hilsy85 296499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I have this too!! It's called "wedding ring dermatitis" (seriously, it's a real thing!) and it's caused by moisture getting trapped under the ring. Apparently it's more common with channel set rings (not sure what you have, but both my rings are channel set). I think for me, since my fingers have been bigger, there's less room for moisture to escape. It's gotten better since I"ve kept my rings off over the last week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296484 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 11:22:03 +0000 prettylizy 296484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine off every night before bed and put it one before I go out in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296478 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 11:15:31 +0000 MrsCastro 296478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everynight to go to bed.

I actually am getting it again, so I really wonder if my ring is harboring some type of fungus or bacteria. gross. I have gotten it professionally cleaned (in July) so it's weird that it's doing that again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296445 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 10:39:35 +0000 SleepyMonkey 296445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i take mine off as soon as i get home from work. so i haven't worn mine since thursday afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296405 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 09:47:15 +0000 sorrycharlie 296405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine has been off for a couple weeks now :( before that, I only took it off for baking/cooking with raw meat!</p> <p>I cannot wait to get it back on. I feel naked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296393 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 09:11:44 +0000 Smurfette 296393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine off at the gym and then every night before bed.

It also comes off when I play softball or do Crossfit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296363 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 08:35:03 +0000 MamaMoose 296363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and I both take our rings off every night when we get home from work and put them back on when we leave in the morning. Haven't lost one yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296349 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 08:20:27 +0000 travelgirl1 296349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have chubby preggo fingers right now so can't wear my rings at all... but when I could I used to take it off every night to let my finger breathe... DH is the same, he's a physio so has to take it off many times through the day so he doesn't hurt patients while he treats them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296344 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 08:13:16 +0000 hilsy85 296344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has not been on in about three days :( It fits on my finger, but it's getting really painful to push it over my knuckle. So it's sitting in it's box for now. Normally, I would take it off while washing dishes or before showering/bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296343 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 08:11:12 +0000 Andrea 296343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day. I don't wear it that much now that I WAH. It goes in my jewelry box when I take it off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296324 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 07:09:00 +0000 heffalump 296324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it off when I was pregnant with LO, but it stayed around my neck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296317 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 06:41:22 +0000 littlebug 296317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine off anytime I cook or do dishes - we have a ring dish next to the sink. And then I always take it off before bed, too, and don't put it back on until the next morning once I'm ready to walk out the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296303 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 05:59:28 +0000 pastemoo 296303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: Yup. DH asked me to put a hook in the kitchen--we both use it to keep our rings from ending up in the meatloaf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296302 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 05:57:06 +0000 GrapeCrush 296302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night when I put lotion on DS. Hate the feeling of lotion under my ring! Other than that, never take it off. DH takes his off when he lifts weights in the morning and the other day our cat for it and was playing with it around the basement! Needless to say, he's going to be more careful with it from now on lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296301 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 05:56:16 +0000 mrs. bird 296301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: don't feel too bad about it going missing! It's happened to the best of us. DH's ring had fallen off in bed while he's sleeping. My engagement ring has a 6 prong setting that would catch in my hair in the shower and pave diamonds on the band, I knocked a couple of stones out of it so I was trying to be more careful &amp; started taking it off to do things, took my rings off to shower &amp; put them on a little table between the bedroom &amp; bathroom, well when I came out the cat was on the table, the wedding band was on the edge &amp; the engagement ring was gone! He likes to throw things off the table : ( I know it has to be somewhere, but I haven't found it yet! I just wear my wedding band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296296 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 05:29:54 +0000 mediagirl 296296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't worn them in 9 months. :-( I wear a claddagh ring I had in my jewelry box that was a size bigger than my rings. i </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296282 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 03:56:37 +0000 Sweet T 296282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my rings off the other night to put lotion on. I hate when they get gross. I also take them off if I'm going to be handling raw meat. I always put them right back on after I'm done &amp; have washed my hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296271 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 01:51:40 +0000 tequiero21 296271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh. my husband didn't wear his often and now it got stolen. so annoyed. i on the other hand, pretty much always wear it. except when i get it cleaned and checked out every 6 months or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-you-took-your-wedding-ring-off#post-296236 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 00:13:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 296236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take mine off very often when at home but I'm super anal about putting it in the same place. These days because my ring hardly fit, I will go days without wearing them (hot/humid days) </p>
