Cycling has given me a loose ring

[Andrew_Culture]

It would appear my hands have lost weight in the last few months and now my wedding ring keeps flying off my hand.

Well what else did you think that title meant?

Ha, same here! I leave it at home now when cycling or running after 2 close calls. Keeps falling off all the time though.

 

[Andrew_Culture]

Glad it's not just me! The shocking thing is that I used it as my engagement ring and had to get it cut off before my wedding five or six years ago because my hands were too fat for it! The wife and I aren't superstitious though so if it gets lost it will be easily replaced. There is some sentimental attachment as my dad wore it as a wedding ring for years, although in his own words 'it came from an auction so it's just some dead man's ring'.

Same here - said Wedding ring fell off whilst gardening and has not been seen since - been in big trouble over that.

Common problem then. Mine would barely go on/off when I got married but now I find myself checking it is still there quite often.

that you had eaten too many flies on the commute and you had the trots ??

wedding ring is loose here too, but never managed to get it to fall off. i have lost the my part of a ring that wifey and i have half each of ( its a 2 ring set) that was on a chain round my neck. we got that after we lost our middle child so that was quite upsetting.

crap stuff happens , life goes on . Have 2 cracking kids so not as bad as it could be.

we lose weight from the extremities towards the middle, it seems.

Wiggo's arms and Bibendum's middle me.

Apart from having fairly big thighs I'm in danger of only having a belly left! I look like a stick figure with giant pockets full of sand and a cushion up my tee-shirt!

What you want is a ring snuggie - horrible name but it's basically a bit of soft plastic that slips round the ring and stops it sliding off. I'm currently using one and will do until I reach my target weight when i'll probably shell out for a proper wedding ring re-size.
I got mine online but can't seem to find the site - this is the closest I got when I googled http://www.ringsnuggies.com/

Mine is definitely looser, but I generally take it off for cycling and other sport as I find it can catch against my skin.

I wouldn't be overly fussed if I lost it, it's a £20 titanium effort from H. Samuel. I was asked if I wanted to take out insurance for it, for £22 a year. I think the woman realised how daft that was while she was telling me.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Same here - I have even had it made smaller and the b******s charged me for them to keep the extra gold!

 

[Diggs]

Mrs D is continually telling me to get my ring reduced in case I lose it. Used to tape it up or switch it to different fingers. It gets really bad in the winter as hands get cold, I tend to take it off at the weekend now or when I'm doing more active stuff.
