When do you wear your ring? When do you take it off?

Lynnie, on January 15, 2019 at 15:26 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 30

Do you wear your engagement ring 24/7? Or are there certain times when you take it off? Do you have rules around sleeping, showering, swimming, or working out with your ring on?

When (if ever) do you take your ring off? What are your “ring rules”?

    Our rings are on all the time and never come off. There will be times when I do take it off for shower.

    I take mine off the second I get in the house but if I leave the house without it I feel naked.

    I live in mine 24/7... don't even take it off for showers/dishes (although I don't hand wash many dishes)... I only take it off when hand mixing food/raw meat.

    I took it off for a few of our ports on our honeymoon cruise (past 2 weeks)... but only 2 or 3 of 5 ports. Still wore it to the beach, pool, etc.

    I wear it whenever I leave the house. But always take it off when I’m at home - no showering with it or dish washing, or any heavy duty work. When we go on vacation, I always wear it for dinner and when we go out, but never to the beach or pool!

    I only wear mine when I leave the house, minus if I'm going to work out/hike. It's usually off when I'm at home unless I don't take it off right away when I get home from work/dinner/a girls night out.

    I take mine off to sleep, clean, while I'm cooking, at the gym or when I'm being active (hiking, camping, swimming).

    I take mine off to sleep, but otherwise wear it all the other times. Someone once told me 'The marks and dings just make it more beautiful - they tell the story of a life well lived with the person you love by your side.' and I thought that was amazing.

    I only wear my real ring to parties and to church. I wear my replica ring the rest of the time, but take it off to do dishes and work out.

    I take mine off while cleaning dishes, cookies, showering, gym and at night (still worry too much about it coming off while I sleep...)

    I take mine off when I cook, shower and/or do anything that requires me to use my hands and could potentially scratch my band or make it feel uncomfortable on my hand. I usually take mine off when I'm at home as well as I prefer not to have jewelry on unless I have guests over.

    I wear my rings 24/7 except for showering and doing dishes, or cooking anything that I have to get my hands mucky in. I also took it off for white water rafting and might leave it in the safe when we go into port on our honeymoon cruise.

    I have only ever taken my ring off a few times: swimming at my parents' boat, white water rafting, to get it cleaned, and to try on wedding bands. I hate taking it off because I'm terrified of losing it!

    I basically wear it all the time except to shower and while I’m at the gym.
    We have gone on vacation a couple times since I’ve had it and I don’t bring it with me.

    I wear mine all the time besides when I'm in the shower or working with power tools or heavy equipment (I'm scared something will happen and my finger will get crushed/degloved/removed. I think it's a fair concern lol).

    I have a silicone ring I wear for work (my engagement ring doesn't fit inside my gloves.) Aside from that, I wear my ring as much as I can, but do take it off when I'm at the gym or taking a shower.

    I wear mine 24/7 - but will wear a different ring when travelling outside of North America or any kind of ocean swimming or similar activity.

    I don’t have an engagement ring but I’ve been getting into the habit of wearing one by wearing a family heirloom instead. I try to put it in the same place at the end of the day when I get home from work. The trouble is remembering to put it on again in the morning. Once we get our bands the only place I don’t wear it is to the gym, and in the shower. And then I’ll strategically place tiny bowls around our home by the kitchen sink, shower, and bedside.

    When I go to the gym or to the barn for my riding lesson, so it doesn't get damaged or my finger stuck somewhere!

    I wear mine all the time.. unless I plan to lift weights at the gym or go swimming, then I will take it off. I also get it cleaned about once every two weeks (I work right beside Peoples where he bought it and have made friends with a couple of the ladies) hah.

    I used to wear it 24/7 except for showering - but my hands have been fluctuating recently where at night my fingers get too hot and by morning my ring is SUPER tight on my finger. It also happens during the day for no reason really... I drink tons of water and barely any salt...

    Either way, I now wear my ring on my finger when going out but for bed time and when my finger does start to swell I put it on as a necklace Smiley smile My FH got it for me for Christmas. (I still take it off to shower though.)

    I take it off when I go to work, sleep, shower, do dishes. Basically if I’m wake up and haven’t left the house yet, I don’t even put it on.

    I wear it to work, and whenever I leave the house. I find myself taking it off when I get home most days, gets in the way of dishes and cleaning, cooking, washing my hands. So i just remove it right away.

    I don’t sleep with it on. I also never wear it in the shower or doing dishes. When it’s wet it slips off. I need to get it re-sized soon haha
