What do you know for sure about Ring Snuggies, the adjuster for rings that slip around on your finger? How long do these cheapies last?

I have had mine for about a couple of months and see no wear on them. It seems they last a long time as far as I can tell now. They are not perfect, but a very good way to wear a ring without having to resize. I did get this brand and I got a different brand as well, but I don't remember which is which (sorry about that). However, I use both brands, since one brand worked great with one ring I have and the other brand worked great for another ring I have. I know this isn't much help, but they both have worked on a daily basis for me and neither, as I indicated, have shown any wear (I only wear out my brain by repeating myself... lol.

I am a female and my ring size is 6, small boned and at first the gloves are tight, but with continuous wear, they will stretch a bit. They are great for Arthritis and also for the cold weather. I sleep with them and I sleep like a baby. I live in Chicago and the weather has been very cold.Chela Huss

You tape the back end around your finger. It's important to make sure you buy the right size for the finger. If it's the correct size it won't slide off at night with the tape.

Probably not. Simply tightening the ring until it is tight works, but may not last with daily use.

I have fairly small hands and tried to use one splint on the 2 fingers you mentioned and it didn't work. It kept popping off as there's not enough velcro to keep it on 2 fingers. They are made for only one finger. I use my splint for my middle finger and after a couple weeks wearing it during the day and at night, I now only have to use it at night. Best little splint, from my personal experience. Hope yours gets better.

When I owned one this spring (check out my review in the product section) I went to the dollar store and grabbed 2 of those Velcro style stretchy bandage wraps (not sure what they're actually called) for a $1. They resemble the wraps that you get after you donate blood, that you're supposed to keep on for a couple of hours after you donate. They're stretchy, extremely comfortable and easy to use since it basically sticks onto itself. Plus they're washable/reusable. So I'd rotate between them and the armband. I'd use one while I wash and let the armband air dry overnight. They're only a buck a piece so I got 2 in case I forgot to wash the armband I'd have a spare to use. Just put the module where you normally wear it. Cover with the wrap and you're all set. Another bonus, people don't bug you with the same question over and over "What the hell is that on your arm?" . They just assume you sprained your arm/shoulder. :) It's a cheap alternative. I couldn't get myself to pay the ridiculous price the armband was going for on the GWF website. Hope that info helps someone. Cheers.

They are not adjustable but since they only slide onto the first digit of your finger, its a pretty easy fit. My friend has slender long hands and they were almost too big. I wear a size 11 ring on my middle finger and they fit me fine.

Only one ring for each finger problem depending on your finger size. It only supports your finger to be straight and not accidentally bent in during your sleep time.

These are good low cost rings, but if you want the best, get the Leupold. I had to make modifications to mine that the average handyperson wouldn't have had the tools to do to make them work properly. If I had it to do over, I would have gotten the Leupold to begin with.

I used these for a brief time and thought they were okay. Wish I had tried the regular boxing gloves to compare them too. I think you may need something with more padding for use 4-5 days per week.

What GREAT answers everyone ~ THANK YOU for contributing your wisdom! Just like Susan said, imagine the Finger Gloves™ conforming like a pair of panty hose or close fitting socks. Savona and I have put these on thousands of fingers and the way we like to do it is to use both hands to pull the open base wide and then just "pop" in the finger you are putting them on. All of the contributors suggestions are perfect, we have just found that this is the quickest way to get them on. Wow what a blessing you all are and thank you! ~ Carmel and Savona

Yes, but sometimes with difficulty if they took them off in a hurry the finger area comes down. Was very disapointed in them, but they were cheap! I'll opt to get better quality ones a few at a time

I tape my knuckles and use wraps. These gloves were great for a while but something changed inside my right glove and now my pinky & ring knuckle get bruised even with tape and wraps under the gloves. Ultimately, it depends on how big your hands are, and how well they fit inside the gloves. I have very small hands.

I have in the past wore rings underneath mostly because I was afraid of taking it off and misplacing it. But I would get an annoying pinching between the ring, fabric of the glove and the bar. Better with the gloves but still not advisable.

It may actually work better on a square ring. I bought them for my mother and she had issues with them on her round ring...they kept twisting

Not sure what others have done, but I kept mine on my hand continuously for over a month, changing them or cleaning as necessary. I would assume that the more they are worn, the better the results.

Sorry to be so long in answering. My ring measures very closely to 13". When they are new they are always just a hair large seeming and don't fit like a glove inside the lid, tending to "bubble" just a little bit. Then of course they shrink to fit very nicely as you suggest.
