What Do Silicone Rings Do?

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of people you see wearing a silicone ring around. Some wear it for workouts or in a workplace where they can’t wear metal rings, while others have decided to forego the discomfort and other downsides of metal rings entirely in favor of wearing a silicone ring all the time instead. If you’re wondering what all the hype is about, there are a lot of things silicone rings can do that traditional metal wedding rings cannot.

1: Keep Your Fingers Safe

Metal wedding rings are actually pretty dangerous to wear if you work in a place where you use your hands a lot, or while working out. Even for those who don’t engage in the typical behaviors that could lead to finger injuries, late-night host Jimmy Fallon demonstrated that hanging out at home can be risky with a metal wedding ring.

The reason metal rings are unsafe is that they don’t stretch or break. Under normal circumstances you don’t want your ring to break, but if the ring gets caught on something, the force of gravity can pull the ring off your finger. The result is often gruesome damage to the bones, muscles, tissues, and skin of the ring finger. It may even result in a finger amputation. Silicone rings can break, which means they are much safer to wear while working out and in workplaces like construction sites, hospitals, military bases, heavy machine shops, auto mechanic shops, and more.

2: Provide Comfort

Metal wedding rings are actually not very comfortable, for many of the same reasons they’re not very safe. They don’t have any flexibility, so if your finger swells up or if you gain weight the ring will get tighter. In extreme cases it may be really hard to take off or could feel like it’s cutting into your circulation. Silicone rings are far more comfortable because they are made of stretchy silicone rubber, which flexes with your finger as needed to get bigger if your hands are swollen, then return to its original size when they’re not.

3: Go Everywhere

Silicone rings can go basically anywhere you want to go, and transition easily from a stylish accessory to wear at work or out on date night to your adventurous outdoor life. They are super durable, able to withstand significant fluctuations in temperature (down to about -75 and up to about 500 degrees Fahrenheit). They also can get wet and dirty, and you can clean them with just some soap and water. If you need to sanitize it, toss it in the dishwasher or a pot of boiling water for 20 minutes.

Instead of asking the question “what do silicone rings do?” it might actually be easier to answer the question “what can’t they do?” Silicone rings are a versatile and stylish accessory, and you can shop Enso Rings today to get one for yourself.
