Work is for Busters	maybe put ice on your hand. Soap up your hand real good and give it agood yank. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Wind Chime	You can try baby oil, but that never worked for me. Or you can go to a jeweler if its real desperate and they will cut it off. What does work for me is pressing the skin under the ring. Do a little bit at a time alternating sides. This worked when pulling on the ring made no difference at all. pressing the skin under on the direction you want to move, pulling the skin out on the other side of the ring. of course once its off go to a jeweler and invest in resizing.

CLICKHEREx	Try soap or dishwashing liquid, then, with the back of a blunt table knife, put pressure on first one side, then the other, and work it off bit by bit. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

buffy_slyr	Butter. If that doesn't work, an ice cube can work to cool the swelling that your causing by tugging on it. If worse comes to worse you can always go to the hospital for these kind of things. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lori K	Soap or hand lotion usually works. Try to turn the ring around in circles in order to work the lotion under the band. If this doesn't work, relax for a while. You have probably caused some swelling. You can try again later. If all else fails your ring can be cut off with wire cutters. It CAN be repaired for a nominal cost at a jewelers. (I know. I panicked when my hand swelled while I was pregnant.) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Michelle W	fill a sink with really cold water, let your hand soak in the water for a little bit, put soap all over you finger and around the ring. then gently twist it and keep twisting and pulling until it comes off. Otherwise you might have to get it cut off!!!! oh no, good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

xeibeg	When you put cream or something like that on your skin your skin absorbs cream and becomes a bit wider your finger so that may be a reason .

Tigger	I've had that trouble before and had to use soft soap to get mine off. Or you may need to wait a bit for the swelling in your finger to go down: Believe it or not, there is a small range of swelling that occurs. Then 'walk' your ring off. If that fails, you may need someone to cut it off. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SmartAleck	put some ice water in a bowl and soak your hand for a while. this should shrink up any inflammation (and there is bound to be some, if you have been trying to pull off a ring for a while now) and the ring should slip off. instead of taking a diuretic, try eating or drinking one (caffeine, Cranberry juice, Asparagus - search diuretic foods on yahoo) instead. or simply forgo salt for a few days, and that should allow you to lose some water weight as well. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

707	soap Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cmp8423	did you try vaseline or butter? try that and wiggling the ring from side to side. Try not to pull to hard b/c the finger is only going to swell up more. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MOM KNOWS EVERYTHING	Use lots of liquid soap and COLD water. Hot water will make your finger swell. And try it when you're least likely to be retaining water in your system. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

i live for love	run it under SUPER cold water and your finger will shrink, then put a bit of butter or vaseline on it and it should slide right off. ive had this problem before too =] Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Seraph	Don't use hot water. Hang outside in the cold. Your fingers fingers are skinnier when they're cold, any jeweler will tell you that. Also, hold you hand above your head for a bit to drain the blood out a bit. Then soap and cold water. Twist it. All of this is for real. Other than that, bolt cutters. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hwfiedler	String method: Use dental floss and wind it snugly around the finger not leaving any spaces.Start on the far side of the first joint between the ring and the fingertip. When you reach the ring work the end of the floss under the ring, pull up the slack and unwind the floss. Keep tension on the floss in the direction of the fingertip. If that fails there's nothing for it but to go to a jeweler who can cut the ring and resize it to fit Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Parth Ponders	Try using banana pulp!!!! If the ring is made of metal, then go out in the sun for a while and try again with all the stuff you mentioned. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

U Have Nothing Better 2 Do	Wait til tonite. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hello there	run your hand under cold water to help your hand swelling go down a bit. then calm down, and use a bit of soap, like dawn or joy. this has always worked for me, but you have GOT to relax, because if you freak out, the blood rushing around will accelerate swelling, making it even more difficult to get off! good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sierraskyesmom	Yikes! Youve tried most of the things I was going to reccommend...... Okay..............try dipping your hand in ice water for a minute or so. Maybe your fingers will contract a little bit and you can get it off. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ema	Like you did, grease it up with something ((soap and hot water works)) and keep twisting it, pulling it upwards. It'll come off. And don't panic--it can be cut off ((the ring, not your finger :P)). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

redhotgermangrl	try soap or lotion Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Daniel R	Put your hand in ice water, it will cause it to shrink. Then put lotion on you finger and try to slide it off. Also, hold your hand above your head, this will cause the blood to stay out of your finger tips. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

winstonsmithreturns	EMS personnel have a tool called a ring cutter for this situation, assuming you value your finger more than the ring. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Munya Says: GFOD	Hold your arm straight up in the air, fingertips pointing at the sky....the blood will drain from your hand after a minute or so, and then quickly put the finger under COLD running water (put the stopper in the sink!) and then twist it off.
