I only ever take it off to bake, like when I'm handling dough. Or I guess if I'm making something that is pretty hands-on.
Otherwise I never take it off, not to shower, gym, swim etc.
Oh, last summer I did take it off when I went tubing.
-
never unless my hands are too swollen!
-
I pretty much never wear my rings at home. They go in my jewelry box when I change out of my work clothes and I don't put them back on until I leave in the morning. I never notice my rings when I'm out but I feel like they get in the way when I'm home. I'm also afraid of them falling off when I cooking or showering.
-
I never wear my rings at home either, i spend more time out of them than in them.
-
My wedding band or my engagement ring? I wear my wedding band almost all the time. I take it off to make play dough and when I went zip lining in the rainforest on our honeymoon. I don't wear my engagement ring much. It was ripping my hair out in the shower, so I took it off to shower, then some of the pave diamonds in the setting got knocked out at work (no idea how or where they ate now), so I just wear the band now. Although the band has pave diamonds covering the top so I'm not sure why I think it'll fare any better lol
-
Surgery.
-
My rings are off the majority of the time I am home. I won't wear them to do a lot off things because I worry about them or they get in the way. I have a nice little ring box for them to live in when I'm not wearing them.
-
I take them off when I get home from work and put them in their ring box, then put them back on before I leave the house. Really never wear them while at home though.
-
goodness you all must have huge rings lol mine never get in the way and my finger feels naked without it!
-
Nothing. I got a plain gold band for a reason!
My e-ring, however, comes off all the time.
-
Only to put on self tanner or to put chlorine in the pool (the jeweler said chlorine turns white gold yellow)
-
I take mine off to shower, when I go to sleep, and when I clean. I can't sleep with any jewelry on, it makes me feel constricted.
-
I take mine off if I'm handling any kind of raw meat or if I'm applying lotion.
-
Washing dishes, showering, sleeping, swimming, skiing. Oh and if I'm making meatloaf or bread or anything that gets icky on my hands.
-
I pretty much never take them off. I have a habit now of touching the tips of my thumbs to the insides of my ring fingers to check for the rings, and if I don't feel them I panic immediately. Totally involuntarily happens several times an hour. Haha. I'm of the camp of the safest place for it is on your finger. I even wore it while snowboarding (inside my gloves). I only take them off to clean them, and when I get manicures I usually put them on the chain around my neck.
-
I take them off to mix dough or touch raw meat.
-
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.
-
I take them off when I get home!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
@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!
I hate the feeling of it not being there.@Grace: lol that's funny. why sex?! that seems so weird to me.
DH NEVER takes his off. Even when handling dough. But he also has just a band with no crevices for dough to get stuck. -
@Coco Bee: Oh, I agree with you but he says it feels weird.
-
@Grace: shouldn't it be the opposite? like it should feel weird to have marital sex with no ring on lol
-
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.
-
Only to shower, or if I am doing something messy in the kitchen (which is rare!).
-
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!
-
@EEH I also hate the feeling of water underneath my rings!
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.
-
I take my ring off to shower/bathe, sleep & if I'm doing anything messy, like baking. We registered for a crystal ring holder that matched some of our other wedding items, & now I am so glad we did! I use it everyday!
-
I take my engagement ring off a lot. 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.
-
I took my engagement ring off to cut up chicken. Never found it again
I don't take my ring off for anything now.
-
I almost never wear my rings anymore. They get too mucked up with all the handwashing, cooking and diaper changing.
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.
-
I hardly wear my rings either, usually only on the weekends.
-
Showering, kneading dough and occasionally to sleep. That's engagement and wedding rings.
I do the thumb on ring finger check all the time too
and my heart skips a beat or two every time it's not there
-
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.
-
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.
-
Doing dishes, cooking/baking, yard work, shower and to sleep.
-
@Mrs. Superhero: omg that's my nightmare
-
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)
-
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).
and my heart skips a beat or two every time it's not there
