We love pretty engagement rings. Give us diamonds, sapphires, pearls, and beautiful settings any day. But in real life? At the gym? We need silicone wedding bands!
There are some activities we all participate in where you don’t want to risk your engagement ring getting lost or damaged. If you regularly play sports, have tactile hobbies, or even travel frequently then you may want to look into silicone wedding bands.
There are plenty of silicone wedding bands on the market, so how do you know which to buy?
Silicone Wedding Rings Comparison
In this video and post comparison, I’m taking a look at some of the most popular silicone wedding bands on the market: QALO, ROQ, and ENSO.
How do these silicone bands stack up? Which was my favorite?
I loved trying on these silicone wedding rings! (As noted on YouTube, I pronounce Qalo incorrectly!)
Here are the three brands I tried on in this silicone wedding ring comparison video:
Those aren’t the only silicone bands out there.

Which silicone wedding rings did I prefer?
In the video comparison I tried out a Qalo Silicone Ring, ROQ Silicone Ring, Enso Braided Silicone Ring.
After the video and several months later (I wanted to make sure the rings were well tested and they definitely have been!), I still love my Qalo and Enso rings. The ROQ has not held up as well and is pretty flimsy so I no longer even wear it. However the Qalo and Enso rings has been so amazing that I’ve had both of those on in equal rotation. I’ve also planned purchases for more silicone rings from both brands.
The Enso Braided Silicone Ring has inched out the Qalo simply because I’ve personally fallen in love with the braided style and love the dark blue coloring.
Why are silicone wedding bands popular?
Typically we think of gold and silver when we think about wedding rings, but silicone rings have increased in popularity over the last few years.
The rubber version of traditional wedding bands has so many benefits for bride and grooms that the market for them has exploded.
Why exactly have silicone wedding bands become so popular? Many reasons!
Safety
These rings are very safe and designed to prevent injuries traditional rings can cause because if they get caught the ring will break before causing damage to your finger.
Silicone is durable but also flexible enough to be safe in many workplaces. Silicone wedding rings are also non-conductive and hypo-allergenic which makes them a great choice for certain professions.
Active Lifestyles
Silicone rings grew in populating due to couples leading active lifestyles who wanted to wear silicone wedding rings during outdoor activities, sports, and at the gym.
Being able to leave traditional rings at home for safekeeping hit a wide audience with fitness fiends and professionals and also extended to other groups like travelers, people with small kids, and those with metal allergies.
Alternative Styles
These rubber bands made of silicone come in both men’s and women’s styles and sizes and are a great alternative to the traditional metal band.
There are many different styles, colors, and sizes available. You can purchase and wear a different style ring every day. You can stack multiple or just use one. The possibilities are endless!
Price Point
Silicone wedding bands are incredibly cheap. You can purchase multiple for a very low price.
This price point eliminates the need to worry about losing or damaging these bands. While you might worry about diamond rings you don’t have to worry about silicone. If you do want multiple rings in different styles you can easily afford to buy multiple options.
What are the benefits of silicone wedding rings?
Safety and comfort are the reasons why silicone rings took off in the first place but there are other benefits as well!
Here are some of the benefits of silicone wedding bands:
- fashionable
- variety of shapes and colors
- lots of fun styles like geometric, braided, etc
- ability to customize rings
- affordable price point from $5-$20
There are many benefits to buying and wearing silicone bands instead of traditional metal wedding bands.
Silicone rings let you still symbolize your marriage without having to worry about many of the concerns that come with traditional wedding ring.
