Can you shrink a silicone ring?

We’ll take a guess. You just bought the coolest silicone ring on the market and you’re ready to get that thing on your finger! But when you slipped it on, it just dangled, feeling more like a game of horseshoes than a perfect fit.

Oops! It looks like you either need to shrink that ring or find a different outlet for your leopard print obsession.

As it turns out, we do have a few tips for you as you figure out how to resize your silicone ring.

Go crazy on YouTube

Have you ever noticed, while watching a “good ol’ days” film, that the first response to an injury is “go boil some water!” We never do find out what they do with it. Well… boiling water is the fix-all ‘cause that’s what all those YouTube tutorials are going to have you do in order to DIY your ring into the perfect fit. If you go this route, be careful! You might not have much of a ring to show for all that work if you mess this one up.

Steps To Shrink A Silicone Ring

Step 1: Boil some water.

Step 2: Let sit for 5-10 mins

Step 3: Use metal tongs to lower your ring in the boiling water.

Step 4: Stretch to desired size

Step 5: Clean up the mess while wiping away tears of bitter regret.

Step 6: Buy a new ring (if it’s not a Groove ring.)

The good ol’ cut-and-glue method

You probably already know what we’re gonna say here. Take a pair of scissors, cut a little slice out of that ring, and use some super glue - or duct tape if you’re that guy - and it’ll be as good as new… kinda. This method is particularly effective if you want your ring to look like a station wagon straight out of the demolition derby. 

Reconsider your ring company loyalty and get groovin’ with Groove Life.

Let’s be honest… those previous two options are totally a joke.

If you’re trying to shrink your silicone ring… we are just gonna go out on a limb and say that you bought it from the wrong place. If you’re purchasing a silicone ring, which is actually made to break and save your finger from injury, you need a solid warranty backing it up.

And… that’s our cue.

At Groove Life, we offer our customers a 94-Year No BS Warranty! That means whether your ring is lost, stretches out, or breaks, we’ll replace it! We also offer a 30-day exchange and return window so you can swap that ring out for a different size if it doesn’t fit right the first time! But we don’t think you’ll need that window.

Why?

Here’s the deal. We have THREE handy dandy ways you can measure your ring size right from your home.

Still not 100% sure you’re in? Check this out. We created the #1 breathable silicone ring on the market. Not only are Groove products backed by a radical warranty, but they are the most comfortable rings you can find. We also make Apple, Samsung, and Fitbit bands that are flexible, durable, and just plain cool!

“But my ring keeps stretching out…”

If you’ve bought a quality silicone ring but it keeps stretching out (even after we replaced it), you’re probably looking for something with an extra level of durability. We recommend you check out the Zeus Anti-Stretch™. Created for athletes, adventurers, and folks who push the limits, this ring won’t wear out on you anytime soon.
