    Although my fiancé tries to tell me I shouldn’t keep it on all the time, I only take it off for housework, & showering. I enjoyed wearing my ring & celebrating our love.

    I take mine off to shower and do icky jobs like the litter box or dishes. Otherwise I keep it on. I need to get a ring holder for our kitchen, I'm always nervous that I'll knock it into the sink.

    I take my ring off a lot, my cousin use to work for the jeweler who sold my FH my ring and she said that to keep it in the best shape I shouldn't be wearing it to bed, when I clean, shower, exercise, go swimming ect. These things can loosen the setting and there is potential for the diamond(s) to fall out. I am very cautious with my ring, I don't want anything bad to happen to it.

    I take mine off when I shower, wash dishes and workout. I dont want it to lose its luster or chip out of respect of how hard my man worked for it. I picked up a pack of silicon rings on amazon for like $15 that I wear when working out as a placeholder.

    Certainly recommend if you plan on traveling anywhere you may lose it (like in the ocean/sea) or could be spotted as a mark depending on area.

    I literally never take mine off. I wear it when I workout without gloves with no issues, cleaning, showering. I never take it off unless I am putting my hands into food since I don't want food stuck to it. Other than that, its on 24/7! Smiley smile

    I only take mine off when I shower/wash my face, wash the dishes, if I need to use my hands to touch food when I cook, and when I’m working out! Otherwise, it stays on!

    I love my ring so much I feel naked without it. When I workout I wear gloves that cover and protect it, same when I’m cleaning the house 🧤.! The only time I take it off it’s when I blow dry my hair. Twice I went to work without my ring 😯 I forgot to put it on after I blow-dried my hair. That night I went to bed without my ring and had a dream that someone said it’s bad luck not to wear your engagement ring 💍, I woke-up in a panic and looked and my hand 🤚 and I put my ring back on right away ! Since then I never went forgot to put it back on after my hair 😆

    I take it off to workout for safety reasons and I'm taking it off for job interviews to avoid potential discrimination (my mom pointed out that they may take note of it and assume I'm getting married right away and then having kids right away too, and then pick a different candidate based on that).

    Only take it off when I’m too swollen (health issues), in the shower and when using strong cleaning agents - otherwise I love to have it on allllll the time 😁🙏

    I take my engagement ring off only if I have my hands going into something that might get messy (i.e. cookie dough, meatloaf etc.). Otherwise, it never comes off my finger!

    Nope! I basically only put it on when I'm leaving the house. When I come home I generally keep it on unless I'm doing housework (washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom, etc.), showering, or sleeping.

    I take it off to shower, wash my hands (at home), and wash the dishes. I also don't wear it swimming, exercising/gym, hiking, camping etc. Just so I don't have to clean it as much.

    I wear mine all day but take it off when I wash my hands, or if I'm doing something and think it might get dirty. I also take it off when I go to bed.

    I actually hardly ever wear mine. I can't wear it at work in case I scratch someone with it. (PSW) I'm looking forward to having my wedding ring that I can wear all the time.

    I don't.
    I take it off when I'm sleeping, showering, cleaning, hiking, camping, exercising. My ring looks new, like I just got it yesterday!

    I wear my rings 24/7 except for showering (don't want to gum them up with hair conditioner), doing dishes (especially if they're greasy) and if I'm doing anything that gets my hands messy - such as cooking something that requires my hands in the food.

    I take it off for the typical things, sleeping, showering, cooking(if I'm chopping veggies and getting my hands dirty) etc.

    Sometimes if I'm laying around the house in my pjs all day I don't bother putting it on. I also leave it at home if I'm going to the beach or camping because I'm scared of damaging or losing it

    I read an absolute horror story of a woman seriously injuring her finger because she wore her engagement ring and wedding band on a waterslide and they got caught so I never wear mine in situations where something like that could happen

    Almost 24/7. Only take it off to sleep, shower, and while I’m at the gym. If we are fishing, hiking or cleaning up the yard it stays off!

    I wore mine all the time since the beginning of moving in and being presented with the ring that didn't fit him any longer.

    I only wear mine outside the house! I am so used to not having any accessories on when I'm just at home. I feel more comfortable that way. So I have one jewelry dish to place the ring in when I get home and grab and wear it again before heading out the door Smiley smile

    I've only recently started taking it off when I do the dishes. I wear it to the gym but I bought these amazing silicone covers that slip right overtop to protect it!

    I wear mine 24/7. I'm a bit of a scatter brain so I would likely lose it if I took it off.

    I wear mine 24/7 except when I'm rock climbing. I take all my rings off for that because they pinch me and I don't want them damaged.

    For the most part I wear it 24/7!

    I take it off to shower/bathe and/or if my hands swell too much (exercise or just really hot outside). Oh, and when my hands are too cold - then my finger is too small for my ring and runs the risk of falling off!... My hands fluctuate a lot so when that happens I have a necklace that I put it on and wear it like that.
