Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I laud the "inventor/s" of the Ring Snuggies. This is a very creative use of a vinyl tubing. These Ring Snuggies are nothing more than vinyl 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 tubing. Even if you don't work in a lab, these flexible tubings are also sold in hardware stores (plumbing section). The 1/4"-OD (outer diameter) clear vinyl tubings cost less than $2 per 10 ft at hardware stores. Bigger OD tubings cost a little more. And, yes, the advice by other reviewers of heating the Ring Snuggies works. That works for most flexible tubings. Heating (placing 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 for me to have a tubing digging into the underside of my 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 less than $1 per foot, it's not a big deal to throw away dirty Ring Snuggies weekly or every few weeks. I prefer 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. I use Liquid Nails 100% silicone, but any brand of silicone will do. I just apply a thin film on the inside of the ring and let it cure for a day. Some people buy "liquid silicone" which has thinner consistency than adhesive or caulk silicone. Some people "dilute" their silicone with solvents, but that's too much work for me. Regular silicone works just fine for me. I just wet my finger with soapy water (just like when you're caulking your bathroom/kitchen) and press/spread to even out the silicone on my ring. The silicone film sticks strongly but is still easy to remove (scratch end with finger nail then peel off). It won't last forever. At some point, it will not look so nice. How long (a month or several months) depends on how often you wear your ring or the work you do with your hands while you're wearing your ring.
