Hello!
My fiance and I got engaged about three weeks ago, and I have a few questions.
Do you shower with your ring?
Do you sleep with your ring?
Thanks!

I never take my ring off.. initially I stopped sleeping with it on b/c the lady in the store said fibers will get on the diamond but I dont want to loose it and plus I just dont want to take it off :-). Just clean it with a toothbrush/dishwashing liquid in the morning and it will shine like new even after you condition your hair and get gunk on it.
I don’t shower or sleep with it, but I think I might be the exception.
I almost never take mine off, but I know my sister takes hers off to shower every day. (I do think she sleeps with it.)
I NEVER take mine off! I shower with it, sleep with and go to the gym with it on (but I wear gloves to prevent excess scratches on the gold from the weights)
@frozen yogurt, you’re not alone. I take mine off when I sleep, shower, go to the gym, do dishes… maybe I take it off too much, but I’ve been really careful about it. My ring is tanzanite, which is apparently more brittle than other gems, so I’m pretty paranoid about it.
I take mine off when I shower for sure, or do dishes or cook or anything that would get it dirty, but I usually do sleep with it on. Basically I just try to keep it as safe and as clean as possible so I don’t do any damage to it. Wouldn’t want to harm my precious =)
I take mine off when I shower and sleep, and sometimes when I’m doing dishes. I keep the ring box Fiance gave it to me in on my dresser and always stash it there when sleeping or showering. I don’t want to damage it while I sleep, as I toss and turn A LOT.
I shower and sleep with my ring on. I hadn’t heard about the fibers things about sleeping with it before. But sometimes when I shower the conditioner makes my ring slippery and that makes me nervous, but I just double check for it a lot to make sure it’s still there and didn’t fall off or anything. But I generally don’t take it off.
I am the ultimate paranoid bride to be. Would you believe I don’t wear my ring the majority of the time? Basically I wear my ring only if I’m going out…excluding when I go to the gym of course.
I wear pretty much all the time even when I sleep. However, I do take it off when in yoga class; and to shower and when cooking – I have platinum band and I grab pots and pans where the metals clank and scratches the ring. Generally, I’m not afraid of water, but I am afraid of the platinum getting scratched by coming in contact with other metals/hard surfaces.
I only take mine off when I shower and when I go to work – I’m a waitress. I sleep in it because I hate having it off for that long. I take it off when I shower because I’m afraid my slippery products will make it come off, plus when I get out the shower I put on lotion and hair products that would dull it, so I just do my whole getting ready thing with my ring in its box on my sink. I wear it on a necklace when I work because I often handle food and I don’t want it to get dirty. I should probably take it off when cooking and cleaning but I’d rather scratch it a little than lose it, and I lose everything!
I take it off to shower because I don’t want it to fall off with the conditioners and stuff! Other than that I rarely take it off… sometimes when I cook if it’s going to get slimy.
When I went to have it’s 6 month checkup/cleaning… just standing there for 15 minutes with it off felt so incredibly strange….
Thanks, ladies.
I’ve been taking it off to shower and sleep. I shower right before I sleep, so I take it off, put it in the ring box, shower, go to sleep. When I wake up, the first thing I do after turning off my alarm (usually after Mr. Anchovies pokes me, since I never hear it) is put on my glasses, then my ring.
There were a couple of times that I went to the gym without it, but mainly because I was afraid of someone seeing it and wanting to take it!
Anyone afraid of getting mugged? Or is that just me?
