I got my finger measured for my engagement ring in the middle of summer when it was very very hot out, so now that it's cold my ring always feels loose and I have been afraid I'll lose it. I've only had the engagement ring for a few months, so I'm expecting it to fit fine once summer comes back around, but until then I got the small set of ring noodles to try out as a temporary, seasonal solution to my problem. The middle size (I actually have no idea how the different sizes are named, it's not very obvious with them being called "mini," "petite," and "narrow") was perfect for my ring, and I just trimmed a little bit off the end so it wouldn't be too tight. When the ring is on you can barely see the noodle - I decided I would rather not have the outside of the band covered by the ring noodle so I opted to go for the middle size so the noodle wouldn't close completely (see my posted images). It does have a bit of a sharp edge, so it would probably be less pointy if I were to go one size up and the noodle completely closed around the band, but I always have that option in the future since I bought the variety pack.
I am a little worried that the plastic will irritate my skin, so for now I have been taking the ring off to shower and being extra careful when washing/drying my hands so I don't get soap underneath. My other concern is that the color may become more yellow over time, but that's what you get for a $5 piece of plastic, and it's really not a big deal if that does happen. I've only had it for a few days so obviously that isn't a problem yet.
It's not the most elegant solution, but it's a hell of a lot better than losing my ring, and I was actually pleasantly surprised by how well it worked and how subtle it looks. The item images look like crap so I thought I was taking a huge gamble buying this, but it's really a lot better in real life. Definitely worth trying out if your ring is too big and you're looking for a temporary solution without having to resize it.
Have a thin ring with a big stone, so even though the band was sized properly, it is constantly spinning on my finger and got to be uncomfortable. Since I did not want to resize the ring again due to not being able to slide over my knuckle I purchased the ring noodle as a means to keep the ring from spinning. Was very glad that this did end up working and would definitely purchase again.
The price is very reasonable as well.
This is the perfect solution for me and my ring. It fits perfectly around my ring and my ring doesn’t twist or move AT ALL! My ring would twist constantly when I’m cold at work and my fingers shrink, but now it doesn’t move at all! I’m also less worried about it slipping off. This was the perfect solution for the little bit of extra grip that I needed without resizing. I like that I can take it off if I need to. Just be careful when putting your ring on and off that the noodle doesn’t come off but I’ve found that mine rarely ever does now so for me it’s perfect. I’d recommend this to anyone with the right type of ring.
I use the two smallest noodles to help make my engagement ring fit better. I am very nit picky and cant stand when my ring moves side to side or up and down my finger. I have a larger knuckle, so I cant just re-size my ring, as it wouldn't fit if I did that... This was pretty much my only alternative.
I will have to say, it gets annoying having to put the ring noodles on, I wish I could just be a normal person, and not care if my ring moves side to side, or up and down a little. Its not huge so it'll never just fall off my finger, im just a very easily annoyed person lol.
I also have one issue with them, I hate the fact that I feel the need to be careful when washing my hands as water easily gets trapped in the noodle.. I always have to take my ring off when i wash my hands because I'm afraid the noodle will start to stink if I dont get the water out, thats pretty much the only negative thing about these noodles, and I dont think its the design of them, i think you would have that issue with ANY type of noodle you buy.
I guess other than that, I really like them. They are cheap and I can always order more if i need more :)
I gave it five stars but I had to order a size up because the mini, petite, narrow was too small for the shaft of my ring. The company was a gem to work with. I highly recommend doing business with them. The next size up worked perfectly. I wear it everyday without any problems whatsoever. It was the prefect solution for me because my knuckle is wider than where the rings rests on my finger. I'm hesitant to have my ring resized because I read somewhere that fingers tend to be smaller during the winter months and we're headed into summer soon. I'd hate to have it sized down and then be unable to wear it during the warmer months due to swelling. This guard buys me time to find out and in between time is very, very comfortable to wear. My ring is top heavy so no more shifting to the side which is quite annoying. Plus, it's clear so it's barely even noticable.

I bought these noodles to try on a ring that had suddenly become too big due to what I hope is only a temporary weight loss. My fiance had passed away and the resulting depression led to a huge weight loss. Anyway, I needed something to try that was easy to use, something that I could do myself, and something that would be temporary in case I gained the weight back. These seemed to fit the bill.
The directions say that you once you determine the correct size (it comes in three sizes in one package) you need to find the side of the noodle with the slit in it and slip it one your ring. Once it is one you turn it so that the slit is facing out. I am guessing that the size depends more on how wide your band is, and not on how much space you need to fill in to make your ring fit because you can change that by cutting to noodle and making it smaller if the ring fits too tightly.
I know that some reviewers have had trouble putting them on. Mine went on relatively easily. I did need to cut it a tiny bit (i used the petite size) and I will say that the ring does now fit. That is the good. The bad, I can feel the noodle and sometimes it is a bit annoying. Also, the ring does still turn on my finger, but that may just be because I cut it too short.
I know other reviewers have said that it occasionally falls off. I have had this happen once but for the most part it has stayed on and done what it was supposed to do. I am still reluctant to try anything more permanent, or anything that could scratch the ring, so for now, these will do. The feel of the noodle it not distracting enough to make me want to find a different product. For some, it may be too much, but you will have to try it out to figure that out. I have found it to be just what I needed.
I received a ring for Christmas that was unfortunately a full size too big. I researched different options to make the ring fit better, as I didn't want to bother getting it professionally resized (it was a costume/fashion ring). The Ring Noodle I originally purchased was too big for the ring, but upon contacting the company I was able to get a replacement set that fit well. I'm really happy at how effortless the exchange was!
I can't recall exactly which of these I'm using at the moment on my ring, but it's definitely one of them. The Noodle isn't completely unnoticeable, and you can feel it a little on your finger, but you get used to it after a while. I haven't had issues with slipping/falling off, and I take my ring off before washing my hands/putting lotion on so I can't comment on anything getting stuck in there.
I do think these are worth it for the price, if you need a ring to be 1 size smaller.
My husband upgraded my ring which I'm obsessed with. He got it sized to my ring size which is a 5 but I'm lost weight from being sick and even a 5 was alittle loose on me! I'm hang the petite and it's perfect! Doesn't move around and doesn't let my ring move around also!!
Exactly what I needed for my oversized wedding ring set. I was surprised at what a simple solution these noodles were, if only I had ordered them sooner, I could have been wearing them full time rather then putting them back in the box.
I had my wedding rings sized many a time due to constant water gain/reduction in my fingers, not understanding the damage that was happening, by the time my rings came back from the jeweler they didn't fit again. The last time they were sized they were done a full size larger than I requested, to fix them (due to thinning of the bands) would have cost me to have the rings melted down and restructured, which would have cost well over what I paid for them to begin with.
They do the job, slips around your find occasionally so you need to reposition it. The thickness of the 3 works best for me to bring my engagement ring down to a size 6 from a size 7. I don't notice it on my finger until it slips out of place, I wear my engagement ring during the day and take it off at night. I probably have to reposition the ring reducer 3-4 times a day. For some this might be frustrating but for me it's better than my engagement ring rolling around my finger. I know your probably thinking, why don't I just go get my ring permanently sized??? Well I plan on getting pregnant in a few months and know that my fingers will swell during pregnancy so I won't get the ring sized until after having my child. Overall it does it job!
