Internal design: Silicone rings, unlike traditional metal rings, can irritate the skin on your finger over long periods if the ring doesn’t have airflow channels on the inside. Because of the texture and slight flex of silicone rings, they have a tendency to sit in one place against your skin, causing a buildup of sweat and gunk. Traditional rings, on the other hand, rotate easily and freely, allowing air to flow underneath their rigid shape. In order to avoid irritation during daily use, look for a silicone ring with etchings inside that encourages immediate airflow around your finger (like an engraved logo or grooves to channel sweat away and give air room to circulate).
