SMY: Silicone Rings!

Silicone wedding bands are becoming increasingly popular whether they're used as a primary wedding ring or as a substitute when wearing the original ring isn't ideal, and now they come in a variety of colors and designs.

    I love mine! I have the turquoise stackable braided ring from Enso. I didn’t realize how small it would be but I love it. I wear mine to the gym and I hardly notice it. I also work in the veterinary field and I’m constantly washing my hands and it made it easier to work with. I love wearing my engagement ring but I love my enso ring when I’m doing dirty work!

    The whole point of rings is that they are special and unique. Not some mass produced piece of plastic. I get that there are mass produced metal rings but tgese silicon ones might as well come out of a vending machine.

    My FH works on cars and theres a definite no solid ring policy so while hes at work the silicon is all he can wear. They're not the most attractive ring on the market but at least it's easily removable if need be.

    He wears a black silicone ring. He didn't like the way gold or other metals felt. It was for comfort.

    We use them for karate and I wear mine when I take my kiddo to the water park. I love having a few different ones so I can still have a ring on when I'm doing things that would make me afraid of damaging my e-ring(it sticks up quite a bit) or afraid of hurting someone else with it like in karate lol

    There are actually a few companies that make more unique ones. Some people have metal allergies and some people are active and want to be able to wear a ring while being active and can't wear their metal bands. My silicone rings are actually more unique looking than some of the wedding rings I've seen so it is what it is.

    I have a couple I wear to the gym everyday, since i dont want to scratch up my e ring, and i bought my fh one when i got his actual band for the same reason! They are super comfy, and you still get to show off that your engaged/married Smiley smile

    I recently got one for a camping trip I went on and loved it! FH and I agreed that wearing my engagement ring wasn't an option because I was going to be outside constantly and I didn't want to lose it. After being engaged for a few months, I'm extremely accustomed to wearing my engagement ring and would feel lost without something on my ring finger. The silicone ring was the perfect option and it was relatively cheap! FH's family also has a shore house so I wear it when we go to the beach there and also when I'm at the gym!

    I plan on getting one for myself when we go to Cancun. I won't have to worry about taking my diamond and possibly losing it, but my finger won't feel empty! They're pretty cheap and I plan on getting a mint and white one! I don't know if FH wants one or not, but I'll be asking when I purchase these! I think they're super cool and handy for times you don't want to get your expensive ring dirty, or worry about losing it, etc.

    My FH actually wants to get the enso ring for his wedding band. He said he rather have something comfortable and not spend so much money of a ring.

    We are getting them! FH does a ton of work with his hands & I am a baker who is always in the gym, so it made sense!

    My FH is an electrical engineer so having metal on his body is not ideal so we are excited about his silicone ring we got from Enso. I also got myself a band for when I go to the gym!

    FW and I both have one. We got her one because she proposed to me, but being a woman, she still wanted a ring until the wedding. This made the most sense considering her job and the fact that she doesn't want to continue wearing it as her wedding band once we do get married. I wear mine when we go hiking, swimming, to the gym, etc. I have also worn it on a few short weekend trips when we've stayed in Airbnb's or cabins. Even though I know that these places are supposed to be secure, I'm just very paranoid and don't feel safe leaving my ering in an unfamiliar place when we go out to dinner or whatever. I actually had a friend who left her ering and wedding band in the safe at her honeymoon resort and they were stolen!

    My FH wants a silicone ring and likes the large plain black one from QALO but we didn't like that they won't take their logo off the front. This seems to be the better of the options (in terms of brands) out there. Any recommendations for the same style ring w/ no logo from another brand would be greatly appreciated!

    We have the Qalo rings! We love them!

    FH is an EMT so he will wear his when he is working and then his regular gold band when he's not. And I bought one to wear to the gym, when I'm cleaning the house, etc so I can keep my e-ring looking perfect without scuffs, scratches, or marks.
