Great alternative to wedding rings for swollen fingers...

I saw a few ladies in here are sad because they had to take off their wedding rings, or are getting close to having to and feel naked without them. A great (and cheap) solution in the meantime would be a silicone ring! Super stretchy and durable, they're only about $8-20 depending on the brand you get. My hubby has one for work and loves it, says it's so comfy. I think that would be a good alternative while our fingers are getting swollen! I know I feel naked without mine!

Great idea! Also, when people comment on the silicone ring (as they do with my Hubs all the time) you get a chance to brag on how beautiful your normal ring is! I think I may order a Qalo this week!

Also EBay has very inexpensive tungsten carbide wedding bands in every size. That's what I'm wearing now.

Ohhh great idea!!! Thanks for sharing. I just took my engagement ring off today after reading up about so many ladies having to cut them off... I literally cried when I put it in my jewelry box LOL, I'll see it again in three months though .

Another suggestion is wearing your rings on a necklace. That's what I'll be doing :-)

When ai first read your post, I thought you were talking about those plastic looking rings, but when I googled, it looks like they have some more adult looking ones. I always wear rings with huge stones and I'm really going to miss them.

I just went to SafeRingz.com and they have metallic silicone rings.  The pictures don't look fantastic but the reviews say that they appear like gold or platinum and even sparkle.  I never thought a silicone ring could actually be metallic.  I am curious if anyone has seen or purchased one of these silicone rings.  They are only $8.

You can also wear your real rings on a necklace around your neck!

I got my husband a QALO for his job at the factory/when he works on cars. He LOVES it. Luckily, I bought my own regular wedding band with room to grow in, and have some cheap backups for when my fingers swell.

We have tungsten carbide wedding bands, and these ones are only $20 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009TEEQ3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My fingers haven't swelled up much yet. Does anyone know if being super pregnant this Summer means our fingers are more likely to swell up? I might order a bigger band just in case, but how much bigger should I get?

I don't think summers guarantee swelling but I notice when I'm hot even pre pregnancy that my fingers swell and my rings annoy me so it makes sense they would swell while pregnant especially in the heat. I had my last DD is June and think I took it off for the last month, maybe two.

My husband ordered from here and has a plain black one that he loves and you can't even tell it's not metal unless you're super crazy up close.

Our order came in early and I've worn my safe ring now every day since the day after the wedding on May 30. I'm so glad I had it because my hands swelled up badly after the wedding so I haven't had to go without a ring. I love it. It's not the same, but it'll do.
