How to Remove a Ring That's Stuck on a

Finger

Difficulty: Easy

Article Badges:

Maybe that ring's been on your finger for a mighty long time. Or perhaps the hot weather
has caused your fingers to swell. Here's how to ease a ring off.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Soak your hand in ice-cold water if it is swollen. Wait 5 to 10 minutes
for the swelling to recede.
• STEP 2: Apply lubricant around the ring and up the length of your finger. Hand
lotion, dishwashing liquid or olive oil will do the trick.
• STEP 3: Twist the ring as you slowly work it up and over the knuckle. You may
need to apply some force to get it over the first knuckle. Make sure to twist, not
tug.
• STEP 4: If the ring still won't budge, visit a doctor to have it removed.

Overall Things You'll Need
