Does anyone have a favorite brand they recommend? My brother uses qalo, but I've seen several on Amazon for a lot less $$. Is there really a difference?
Also my husband would like other color options besides 3 shades of gray that the men's rings tend to offer, any suggestions?
Thanks!

Can I ask what this has to do with fitness and exercise?7

Or ruining your actual bands on bars and dumbells.... They can hurt too.
OP, I've only ever worn qalo3 -
Why a silicon wedding band? Do you mean as a replacement to wear for your metal wedding band when working out? I've never heard of this. Is he allergic to gold/silver/titanium?1

If your wedding band is uncomfortable while lifting, why not just take it off and not wear a ring while you lift?5 -

My boss runs marathons and triathlons, he recently switched from a metal band to a silicone. It's more comfortable, he doesn't have to think about it or worry about losing it taking it on and off. Anyway, what difference does it make what the ring is made from?0

I recently bought a couple super cheapo silicone wedding bands off the internet for like $5 a piece. One looks like gold and the other silver. I'm very happy for the price. Unfortunately I can't remember the site. But there's no reason to pay $40. Just find the cheapest in the color you like. They are all the same.2

I bought an inexpensive set from Amazon and they work perfectly fine. I don't wear them for lifting (I don't wear any rings in the gym, too much hassle at 6am) but they are great when playing sports or hiking all day. No reason to buy the more expensive brands IMO.
ETA: I found a link to the rings I bought: Egnaro Silicone Wedding Ring
It's very thin, because I'll occasionally use one to make sure my real ring is secure when it's super cold. You guys may prefer wider bands, scrolling down I see some mens versions with really fun colors though!2 -
12 responses... has anyone actually answered OP's question? I guess the last couple have. Finally.
OP, I've got nothing significant to add, but I have seen these types of rings advertised in the back of magazines (triathlon, running, biking, etc). Perhaps check a couple next time you're at the grocery store and see if there are any other options that seem more appealing.3 -
I’d just get a cheap one off amazon. Kind of want to get my husband one. I got him a cool wedding ring with a coco bolo Inlay and he doesn’t wear it very often bc he works in construction.0

Check out groovelife.com. They have tons of color options. I have the groove brand and love it. All my workout friends have the silicone rings and swear by them. If you lose it on a bike ride or open water swim....no big deal.1

I like wearing a ring.

In the interest of peaceful interactions I'd like you to know that I'm not woo-ing you. I don't give enough *kitten* to do that.
Thank you for clarifying. It just seems a little possessivey to me, that's all. My husband and I rarely wear our bands. His doesn't fit anymore and mine gets in the way of a lot of things (lifting, cleaning, etc) I don't care if people can see that I'm married or not and he doesn't feel that way either. Both of us know where our marriage stands.5 -
I have 2 different Knot Theory bands that I wear. I've had one for over a year and just got a second color last week so I have choices.
I was taking my rings off for karate and then forgetting to put them back on. It says nothing about the state of my marriage and is more about my finger feeling naked without the ring on. Plus, I just plain like wearing the ring.
I wear the silicone ring about 50% of the time...some because I forget to put my actual wedding band on and some because I like the way it looks.2
