Putting on lotion or oil may help the ring slide off. Try applying hand lotion, baby oil, coconut oil, butter, vegetable oil, or petroleum jelly on your finger, concentrating it around the ring.
After you’ve coated the area, try gently twisting the ring off.
Wrap a Piece of String
Cut a long piece of dental floss, ribbon, or string. Thread it underneath your ring so that a few inches are left tucked underneath the side facing your wrist.
You should have the majority of the length left on the side facing your fingernail. Wrap that end of the string snugly around your finger below the ring. Keep wrapping it around until you reach the joint closest to your fingernail, then leave it dangling.
Holding the end tucked under the ring, gently pull and unwind the string, unraveling it toward your fingernail. The ring should slowly come off as you do.
Have the Ring Cut Off
If all of the above tips aren’t working, this may be a necessary last resort.
Fire departments, emergency rooms, ambulances, and even some jewelry stores have ring cutting tools to help. Never attempt this on your own.1
