 Creative use of a tubing December 15, 2009

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.
 Very Happy! October 28, 2009

They are so much better than the metal ones! It fits perfect and comfortable to wear. No sharp edges. My wedding ring manage to stay put and it doesn't shift side my side like it did on my metal one. Very pleased with this item.

I, too, need these because of large joints. Resizing doesn't work. These little things can be applied after the ring is on so work perfectly. Regular ring resizers are very expensive for just one. These are great.

They have sharp edges and hurt my finger like hell.It does not fit firm and dropped off.
Would not recommend.
 Decent option for making your ring a little bit tighter June 17, 2009

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.
