Swollen fingers can be such a pain in the butt, right? When your fingers swells and you can’t get the ring off, it can seem like the most annoying thing that you’ve ever dealt with. For starters, you can grab a lubricant like WD-40 or Windex. If you are not successful in this endeavor, there are other options available to you and we are happy to provide them.
An elastic band is just what the doctor ordered! To get started, you grab the elastic band and wrap it around your finger nice and tight. As you are wrapping the elastic band around the finger, make sure to move it toward the ring as you are going. At this point, you should be getting to the ring. Once you have arrived, it is time to start feeding the band through.
By this point in time, you are going to start noticing a difference. The elastic band can be unwrapped now and when you start to unwrap it? The ring that was stuck came with it.
