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?

    Is the dental floss method more likely to work on women because there is more fat in their fingers? And does having large knuckles also contribute to the pain caused by dental floss?
