Getting married and staying active can present some unique challenges, especially when it comes to wearing your wedding band. As someone who loves to train, I quickly realized that my traditional metal ring wasn't going to cut it on the mats. I started searching for solutions to keep my ring safe and my fingers intact. Let me share my journey and the insights I've gained about wearing jewelry during training.
The first time I went to train after getting married, I wore my usual metal wedding band. It felt strange and out of place, especially when gripping. I quickly understood the potential dangers. The ring could easily get caught on something, causing serious injury to my finger. I knew I needed to find a safer alternative. My coach wasn't thrilled with the idea of me wearing any ring, but was open to me trying something different.
I considered just taking my ring off before each class, but I knew myself well enough to know that I’d probably lose it. I'm not the best at keeping track of small items like that. I don't even wear a wrist watch for the same reason!
I had heard whispers about silicone wedding bands, so I decided to investigate. I found that many people in similar situations had switched to silicone rings, and they seemed like a great option. They are flexible, comfortable, and designed to break under pressure, preventing serious injuries. I decided to give one a try.
The silicone ring was definitely an improvement over my metal band. It was much more comfortable, and I didn't have to worry about it getting caught on anything. However, I did notice a few downsides.
I even found a few silicone rings lying around the gym's lost and found! It seems they have a tendency to come off during intense sessions. I learned to be extra careful and check my ring periodically.
One day, I asked my fiancée, "What if I just don't wear a ring at all?" Her reaction wasn't exactly enthusiastic. It made me realize that the ring, even a silicone one, was important to her as a symbol of our commitment. So, I continued my search for a better solution.
The whole wedding band situation made me think about other jewelry I sometimes wear. I realized that any type of accessory could be a hazard during training. As one person pointed out, is it really necessary to wear any "bling-bling" during combat sports? Your marriage should survive a couple of hours without it, and so should you!
This made me reconsider wearing anything during training. I've taken to leaving all my jewelry at home or in my gym bag. Turns out, I'm still married, even without wearing my ring all the time!
While I don't wear rings or bracelets during training, I still wanted a way to express myself and keep a reminder of my loved ones close. That's when I discovered the homepage of Sumsfashion. I found a beautiful and discreet option: the URMYLADY 925 Sterling Silver Cross Pendant Necklace. I can wear it under my gi or rash guard without any risk of injury to myself or my training partners. It's a delicate piece that adds a touch of elegance without being intrusive.
