Video tutorial on how to remove a ring that is badly stuck on a swollen or arthritic finger, with dental floss or thread when its jammed and starting to cut off circulation. Don't get out your pliers and ruin your engagement ring or wedding ring. Save yourself a trip to the hospital emergency department and use the dental floss string trick. Should also work on a toe ring.

The hardest part is getting it over the swollen knuckle If your finger is turning blue and it still will not come off you can lubricate your finger with vegetable oil, windex, dish washing detergent, soap or some other non dangerous lubricant.
Will not work for nose ring, ear ring, belly button ring or other types of piercing.

I was genuinely relieved to get that ring off. That sucker was on tight.

@persianprince1979 7 лет назад

WhyKnot thanks mate. I woke up in the middle of the night with a swollen finger and much pain. The first thing i did i put on youtube how to take out the wedding ring in the swollen finger. Your video did magic. Where did you learn this? It really saves lifes.

this really works, my finger was so swollen it was turning blue it hurt like mad whilst doing but very pleased I didn't have to have my wedding ring cut off.

Literally, if I haven't tried this method at least 15 times than not at all... it never worked. My wedding ring was stuck for 5 years. I tried this method based on other videos about it, didn't work, even with using soap. Then today I read an arcticle with some additional tips and this video, which was the first one really clearly explaining how you really should do this! And it WORKED! If you were curious, these are additional things that could help: 1. Lift your hand up for a few minutes, let the blood flow down to the shoulder from the finger. 2. Put your hand in cold water for a few minutes. (Not ice cold, don't hurt yourself!) 3. Then oil on the finger. 4. Then this trick with the thread in the video. Really, guys, it is important to keep rolling the thread really close to each other. You may add oil before and after this trick. Thanks for this video!

It works with thread and yarn too (at least for me and my friends it did) You can also add lotion, butter, foam soap, oil, ice if it hurts really bad after/before/during.

@Bloodletter8 7 лет назад

Didn't work the first time my wife tried it, BUT we waited a day for the swelling to lessen. We also used a shoelace instead of dental floss (it dug into her skin less). Removed all 3 bands of her wedding ring with no problem. Thank you for the video.

@@foretell6819 Basically it's when your skin gets torn away from the rest of your tissue. It can happen if your ring gets caught on something. Ripping the skin from your hand (or just finger) like removing a glove. I refuse to wear rings especially at work.

@Skeptycx 5 лет назад

@@foretell6819 if you look up Jimmy Kimmel ring accident he had something similar happen. I'm not sure it was technically degloving, as it was more 'defingering'. Dude caught his ring finger on the edge of a counter and broke his finger.

@buggysmum296 2 года назад

Thank you for explaining this!! I was aware that dental floss could help get rings off, but I had never seen the unwinding from the other side, I thought you just wound it until your finger was skinny, but I just couldn't get it. So I searched for videos and yours came up first, and the unwinding was budging the ring bit by bit, whilst moving the bulge from one side of the ring to the other! I had a purple finger for a wee bit,but moved along quickly, adjusting the wind here and there, but my ring moving forward the whole time, and now it's off! Yay! Thanks!!

my knuckle was extremely swollen, and no amount of baby oil or ice (to reduce the swelling) helped. I was really scared. I am thankful for this video and RU-vid. The house common objects were key! It took me like 10 times, but that ring came right off! If the dental floss isn't going through, try turning your file slightly to the side! Hopefully that will be the last time I put on an old ring before going to bed!

@martyspargur5281 6 лет назад

Start wrapping closer to the end of your finger, like 6 or 7mm (1/4") up from the ring. Wrap the string Towards the ring, not towards the end of your finger. You don't need anything to push the string under the ring, it will slide over the string by itself. If you wrap the string towards the tip of your finger as shown, you are trapping blood and compressing it in the tip of your finger, which is not good. Try to find something thicker than dental floss if possible, thinner string will be more likely to cut the skin. To prevent re-occourance, get a divorce.
