How did you get them off? I honestly don't know how I will be able to get them off, barring cutting. So here's hoping they work! Off seemed to be much easier. But you could have larger rings than I did too. It's a little late now....but they make slip on ones that latch on now. Loose ring pulled through the mouth?? That's definitely a "don't believe it till I see it" kind of event. Freaky. But they definitely can't hurt to have on either way. Unless they cause sweat around the lips and chaffing, which I have seen.
