Some people have rings that are so tightly stuck that even soap does not help, but dental floss works for them. Meanwhile, others find dental floss painful even with a mildly stuck ring, yet soap works well for very tight rings. Why is some skin more sensitive to dental floss? And what makes some people’s skin respond better to either soap or dental floss?
Does it affect whether you have a lot or little fat in your fingers? My fingers have little fat, and my knuckles (in ring and middle fingers) are larger than the base of the fingers. Is that why dental floss was painful, but soap worked reasonably?
