    I really only wear it when I leave the house, I take it off the second I get home pretty much.

    I take it off to shower and do the dishes. I wear it at night but I'm on and off with wearing it to work because I work on medical equipment at a hospital and I don't want to lose it or scratch it.

    I take mine off when I sleep and when I play baseball and sometimes when I am cleaning (if I remember) otherwise I always wear it. I don't want to lose it or damage it, but he gave it to me to be worn and to show that I am promised to another.

    I take mine off to do housework, work outs, swimming and didn't wear it on a weeks vacation because I was too scared to loose it. My Bestie never takes hers off ever. I think I'll wear my Wedding ring on top of my engagement ring so I won't be so nervous to loose it.

    I was not used to wearing rings, but I wear it all the time. When I make food, I clean, I work, I dance.

    First it it was bugging me, now don’t even feel it!

    Adjusting to wearing an engagement ring was quite the challenge for me, while I do wear a ring on my right hand, my engagement ring is fancier and therefore became annoying quickly. I never take me ring off, as I am afraid that the second that I do I will lose it. However, if I am in a situation, like swimming in a lake or touching anything that may ruin it, I will definitely take it off.

    I take it off to shower, sleep, when handling chemicals (except for mild hand soap and lotions), cooking, cleaning, and handling anything that could potentially scratch the metal.

    I had to change all my jewelry habits!! I wasn't used to wearing rings at all, and I used to always wear bracelets on my left wrist and now have changed to wearing bracelets on my right arm to balance things out - it took awhile to get adjusted to it!!

    I never take mine off, but I've realized that there are DEFINITELY some situations when I should, just to be safe! White-water rafting last summer, for instance. I for sure should not have been wearing my ring! It needs to be wiggled to come off my finger, so it's not like it's going to just slip off, but still... I need to be more careful with it for sure!

    I basically wear it all the time... the only time I take it off is when I'm swimming or hot tubbing because of the chlorine, and when we go in the lake at the cottage! Other than that, I did leave it at home when we went to Mexico because I was way too scared that something would happen to it!

    I sometimes take it off to wash my hands or to put on lotion, but that's about it. It's silicone, so it's not very risky.

    If I don't forget, I might take it off before washing my hair as it tends to catch a bit on wet hair.

    I wear when I'm out of the house (i.e. work, shopping, running errands), except for going to the gym. I'm still not quite used to wearing rings yet.

    I take it off when I go camping, exercise, shower, wash the dishes, swim, etc. Basically anything that involves water or getting dirty.

    I wear my ring *almost* all the time. I work on a dairy farm so I take it off before I head to work since it's not safe to wear rings on the job; even if it was safe to wear it at work I'd be afraid of damaging the ring. (I plan to buy an Enso ring after the wedding so that I can safely wear a ring at work.) I take my ring off when I'm in the shower or if I'm cooking or cleaning. But the rest of the time I like to wear it.

    I only wear my ring on date nights or when we do something on a weekend. I almost never wear it. I don’t wear it at work, I don’t wear it when I sleep, and I won’t wear it when I shower, clean or cook. So 5 of the 7 days of the week, I have like 2 hours in a day where I could wear it... so I don’t.

    I take mine off to shower (so I don't get hair conditioner film on it), to clean the fish tanks, or if I'm cooking something that gets my hands gooey. Basically it comes off for anything that would get it dirty.

    I almost never take my ring off.. I sleep with it, shower with it, clean with it.. All things you shouldn't do apparently?


    I DO remove it when I work out as I do boxing and wrapping my hands and punching would be awful with the ring I have. Now that I'm married I wear an enso ring to work out - I swear by them!

    I will also leave my ring behind when camping or travelling and wear my enso ring instead.

    The only time the ring comes off is showering, cleaning, swimming, sports and pretty much anything they may damage it in anyway. Other than that it's typically ALWAYS on.. except recently due to pregnancy swelling I can't wear it πŸ‘Ž

    I made sure to get a ring that wouldnt bother me in my day to day activities.... The only time i take it off is for the gym (I go to a boxing gym so not super comfy to punch things with rings on!) or when i play soccer and we arent allowed to wear any jewellery.

    Very rarely do I wear it. I only really put it on when we are going out on date nights and things.

    I don't wear mine to work (I work in an environment where it might get damaged), sleep, shower, cooking, dishes, working out, or gardening. I'm pretty careful with my ring (it's not insured yet), and I'd rather be safe than sorry.
