I do end up using one of the ring snuggies that I ordered, but it isn't quite as nice as I was hoping it would be. (1) The PVC is pretty stiff, so it took some practice before I was able to get the ring snuggie onto the ring. (2) The description says that the ring snuggie "can be applied AFTER the ring is on the finger." In my case, the ring snuggie can ONLY be applied after the ring is on the finger because the PVC is so thick. (3) Even with the "variety of shapes and sizes", I still had to cut one of the ring snuggies in half to get one that was appropriate size for my ring. (4) Ring snuggies look like small cylinders made of PVC. When the description says "a variety of shapes and sizes", it means that the hole down the middle of the cylinder comes in a variety of different sizes. The cylinder wall is the same thickness for all of the snuggies in the package. I would like them better if some of the cylinders had thinner PVC walls. Other than those aspects, the ring snuggies are just what they advertise to be. The package arrived on time. The ring snuggie keeps my ring in place. The price was good.

I was skeptical about Ring Snuggies after reading all the negative reviews, but I ordered it anyway - and was very pleasantly surprised. These Snuggies work great! They are easy to apply when the ring is either on or off your finger. With the different sizes in the package, I was easily able to find a perfect fit for my two very different rings. If you use the correct size for your ring (very important), they stay in place and will never fall off. They are virtually unnoticeable and perfectly comfortable.

I have arthritis in my hands and enlarged knuckles. Also, since my fingers are sometimes swollen as well, the rings fit better on some days than on others. Therefore, resizing is obviously not an option for me. Being able to apply and remove the Snuggies as needed is a very convenient option for me - and one that permanent resizing would eliminate.

An argument could be made that the Snuggies are too expensive for what you're getting - a few pieces of plastic tubing. But the last time I had a gold ring resized at the jeweler's, it cost me over $30, so being able to resize two rings for less than $10 definitely makes this an affordable alternative. Bottom line - Ring Snuggies are absolutely worth trying.

I laud the "inventor/s" of the Ring Snuggies. That is a very creative use, they thought of, of a PVC tubing. These Ring Snuggies are nothing more than PVC tubing that has been cut into short pieces and then cut on one side lengthwise. For those who have access to flexible tubings (PVC, Tygon, etc.) of any kind (those working in labs), you can cut your own PVC tubing. Even if you don't work in a lab, these flexible tubings are also sold in hardwares and similar stores. I don't know how much they cost in hardwares, but when we buy these flexible tubings in the lab, they cost less than $1 per foot.

And, yes, the advice by other reviewers of heating the Ring Snuggies works. That works for most flexible tubing. Heating (place in hot or boiling water) them up will make them more pliable, thus easier to fit over your ring.

It's practical but not very comfortable to have a tubing digging into the underside of your finger. In addition, if you wear your ring all the time (gardening, cooking, washing, in the shower, etc.), dirt/scum will eventually accumulate inside the tubing. Of course, if you make your own Ring Snuggies at $1 per foot, it's not a big deal to throw dirty Ring Snuggies weekly or every few weeks.

I think I prefer liquid silicone that's applied on the inside of the ring. There's no hard thing protruding and digging into my finger. There's no tiny space between the ring and adjuster (since the silicone is painted over the inside of the ring) that will accumulate dirt.

Comfortable when on my ring on my finger. These are made to be cut shorter if necessary, which is a good thing. I took my ring off to put the snuggie on and it stayed on when I replaced the ring. I also tried putting the snuggie on with the ring on my finger and that worked, too. If you warm up the snuggie with your hand it will be a bit more pliable to help place it on the ring. Just what I was looking for!

My engagement ring fits well on its own when it is hot out but when it is cold out my fingers shrink for some reason and it gets really loose. One of these plastic pieces is good for instances like that, where I need to make it a little bit tighter. Once I put the snuggie on, it stayed on the ring even when I washed my hands. I did have to cut one of the snuggies in half otherwise it would have been too long.

I do think it would be a pain to wear one of these things every single day. Although it is possible. It's better for people who need it once in a while, on certain days or for certain events when you want your ring to stay upright and stay tight.

Overall I would say give it a try. I am pretty happy with them.

This product is worthless in my opinion. It may work in some conditions, but for our needs, it fell way short of what was promised. They are too small for any larger ring size, were as cheaply made as possible, and I agree with other reviewers...just get a piece of tubing from Petsmart or a similar store to achieve the same type of results as 1/100 of the price! Don't bother with this worthless product!

It is not bent at all to go around the ring so it sticks way out but it short and is too painful to wear-just cheap plastic tubing with slit. I think it is more for a ring that is like 6 sizes too big but I still don't see how it could ever be comfortable. I tried it for a few hours and i scratched my face with it 3 times. It is like wedging a piece or hard plastic between the ring and your finger, so either the open edge with the sharp edges is on your finger (which is impossible) or you have to have it facing outward where you scratch everything else! Doesn't work at all.

Like others, I have arthritic fingers. And so I need a ring that will fit over the knuckles. When it finally comes to rest where the finger meets the hand, I have gone from a size 6 or 7 (knuckles) to a 5 or 5-1/2. So my rings flop around and drive me crazy. I always put the ring on first. Then spread apart the Snuggie a bit and put it over the ring shank, slit side down, of course. Then push it on, being sure both ends of the slit are on the ring shank. Then, spin that Snuggie around the ring shank so the cut side is to the outside. This assures it won't come off. I don't notice the Snuggie on my finger after awhile. When my mother reached her 90's, she insisted on wearing her gorgeous estate rings (which I now have!) and we used the Snuggies to keep them on her very thin and frail fingers. I have tried just about every way to keep rings from twisting, and these Snuggies are the best (and for the price). Don't give up on them. It takes a bit to master them! I love my rings and refuse to let them sit in a jewelry box because they don't fit quite right.

Want to spend the day wondering what that uncomfortable chunk of plastic on your finger is? Then by all means buy one of these. Yes, it will keep your ring from falling off but I'd rather not wear the ring at all then put up with these things.

My rings are loose on me and can slide off. I got these hoping to take up enough space so that I wouldn't fear losing my rings. I was disappointed for a couple of reasons. First of all, they are rigid and not curved along the ring line at all. For me, it made it a little difficult to get over the rings. Second, they will take up a couple of sizes. My rings are loose, but not huge. These would be appropriate for a ring that fits way too large, and then I just feel like it would be very uncomfortable all around. Also, if your ring has any thinckness to it, these might not fit over your ring. They are a good idea and may work for some people, but I found them too think and uncomfortable, also making my loose rings too small.
