    Thank you, this is really a good trick.I have many bracelets which are a little tight, and often I hurt myself when putting them on...! Nice to know! Thanks a lot.

    You are welcome!!! I thought someone else would also find this bit of practical info useful!  When the shop keeper showed me, I thought "now why didn't I know this before?"

    Yes - it is a good one. And I am sure, others will profit from it too!

    If you have a closed bangle it is helpfull to put a plastic sandwich bag over your hand and slip the bangle over it.  Or a bit of hand cream always works!

    Thanks Marie-Ange!  This makes me laugh!!!  What we women go through to look good is hysterically funny!   I'm glad that we at least got rid of the corsets!

    this is really funny. I normally wet the hand with cold water and soap, this also helps for rings.

    @Edith, yes I am sure a man would never go that extra mile.........yes Eva soap also works very well!!
