Why is removing stuck rings with dental floss painless for some people?

Some people have rings that are so tightly stuck that even soap does not help, but dental floss works for them. Meanwhile, others find dental floss painful even with a mildly stuck ring, yet soap works well for very tight rings. Why is some skin more sensitive to dental floss? And what makes some people’s skin respond better to either soap or dental floss?

Which height should I choose for a ring?
  • I have some comfort fit rings, but since my knuckles are too big, the sharp edges still touch my knuckles. Only rings with extremely rounded edges (basically cylinders) do not hurt my knuckles.

  • Which height should I choose for a ring?
  • Hmm, can you show me your ring so that I can see what a 4 mm height ring looks like? I could not find ring heights because search engines indicate width instead, even when I search for height.

  • Which height should I choose for a ring?
  • The height is important because the more height it has, the more comfortable the rounded edges are. With a ring with round edges and a height of 1 mm, the edges still feel like a knife, so it is important that the height is large enough.

  • Which height should I choose for a ring?
  • I am talking about the height, not the width. What you said is the width, but I want to know the height. So, what is the height of your metal parts in your ring? Here is an image of the three measurements:

  • Which height should I choose for a ring?

    You have ring size, width, and height. I would like to know which height I should choose for a ring. The options are:

    • 1 mm
    • 2 mm
    • 3 mm
    • 4 mm
    • 5 mm

    I do not want the ring to hurt when putting it on and taking it off, but I also do not want the ring touching the other fingers too much. I have larger knuckles, so I want a ring with extremely rounded edges. However, the ring height should be big enough so that the rounded edges are comfortable enough for my big knuckles.

    So, could anyone share their experience with ring height, when to choose which height in general situations, and which height to choose for myself?

    Where can I find rings with extremely rounded edges and half cylinders stacked above a flat band?
  • Okay, I meant literal half cylinders that are attached to the ring so that the main band has multiple curves from these half cylinders. The edges should also have bigger cylinders in them so that the ring is comfortable to put on and take off, and so that the the small and big cylinders have the same height in the top. This is what I want as the ring design:

    • Total width: 10 mm
    • Total height: 3 mm
    • Width main band: 4 mm
    • Height main band: 2 mm
    • Width middle gray cylinder: 3 mm
    • Height middle gray cylinder: 1 mm when cut off in half or quarters so that the half cylinder can be attached to the main band
    • Width edges pale copper cylinders: 3 mm, should be attached to the edges
    • Height edges pale copper cylinders: 3 mm because the extra 1 mm should match the height of the middle gray cylinder

    Is this more clear, or should I explain more?

    I remember seeing a ring with extremely round edges and the colors pale copper and gray (or gold) combinations in half cylinders.

    It had two pale copper and one gray (or gold) half cylinders, with the gray (or gold) half cylinder between the two pale copper cylinders.

    The outside of the ring had three half cylinders (two pale copper and one gray (or gold)), while the inside was flat and pale copper in color, and the edges of the ring were extremely round and a cylinder.

    The ring had three half cylinders stacked together in one ring. Two pale copper cylinders are placed between a flat pale copper, and the gray (or gold) cylinder is placed above the flat pale copper.

    It was also a wide ring. Does anyone know about this ring design?

    Edit: Here is an image of a ring that looks similar to my design. Only the edges should be pale copper, and the middle should be gray without diamonds:

    How do I get over this regret about missing an interesting video opportunity?

    I regret something and could use some advice on how to move past it. Recently, I was browsing YouTube and saw a comment from someone asking for help removing a stuck ring because their finger had swelled in the morning. I responded with a possible solution. A few minutes later, I deleted that comment and reposted the same advice, but this time, I also asked them to record and upload a video of the ring removal attempt.

    Unfortunately, by the time I added the request to record, they had already seen my first comment and used the method I suggested. It took them one hour in total to remove the ring. I was really looking forward to seeing a video of the process because no existing videos are that long (most are around 30 minutes at most). They even mentioned they had a tool that could have easily recorded the attempt, so I missed a great opportunity to see this interesting and lengthy ring removal.

    Now, I feel such regret because I had control over the situation but still wasted this chance. I know it is trivial in the grand scheme of things since it is just for entertainment, but I cannot help but feel disappointed. Asking the person to get their ring stuck again just to record it is obviously not an option, so I will never be able to see that footage.

    Since this did not really affect my life in a major way, the usual advice on how to get rid of regret might not be as effective. How do I move past this feeling of missing out on something that could have been really interesting to watch?
