Generally the width of that plain band is either <strong>5mm, 6 mm, or 8mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen you get smaller than those in width, <strong>they start to look a little feminine<\/strong>. 5-8 is standard and looks <strong>balanced <\/strong>on a man&#8217;s hand. 5-8mm also feels comfortable wearing and unless you&#8217;ve got some big basketball player&#8217;s hands, then <strong>I&#8217;d sticking in those widths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nAny wider than that and you may have <strong>difficulty bending your fingers.<\/strong> But it&#8217;s all a matter of taste. You might want to try some different millimeters on just to make sure they feel good. I&#8217;ve seen some men buy rings that were <strong>10 mm wide<\/strong>. You just never know.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Plain gold bands:<\/h2>\n<p>\nPlain gold bands have been <strong>the staple of men&#8217;s jewelry<\/strong> forever. The one ring that most men will wear and usually because <strong>they have too<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>It&#8217;s true!<\/strong> If men had a choice, <strong>they&#8217;d probably wear none.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nAnd since they do have to choose one, most will pick the plainest and simplest band there is.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhich is great because&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>Plain bands are CHEAP!<\/h2>\n<p>\nBut as we know, gold bands <strong>take a lot of wear and tear<\/strong>. Within months, a plain band could have dents, scratches, dings, nicks and possibly chunks taken out of it. The good thing is, with gold, it&#8217;s easy to<strong> have any jeweler polish up the ring<\/strong> to make them look new again.<\/p>\n<p><h2>But it&#8217;s NOT the BEST band&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>WHY?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nBecause plain gold bands have changed.<\/p>\n<p><h2>And changed for the GOOD!<\/h2>\n<p>\nPlain bands used to be <strong>thin<\/strong> (Men really got ripped in that department). Over the long haul, they would bend, dent and end up looking like <strong>oval rings vs round rings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Meaning:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Men abused rings!<\/h2>\n<p>\nThey weren&#8217;t gentle with their jewelry <strong>in the least<\/strong> (like ladies are). And if the guy was a mechanic or they physically worked with their hands; <strong>that ring&#8217;s a goner!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nSo the thing that&#8217;s changed in the last ten years is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>COMFORT!<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Or to put it exact&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Comfort fit!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nComfort fit bands were <strong>thicker than a normal ring<\/strong>. In fact, they weigh about twice as much as a regular band did.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>That extra thickness equals durability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd that&#8217;s the biggest selling point too. Those rings could take a beating and <strong>hold up quite nicely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>They don&#8217;t bend!<\/h2>\n<p>\nI&#8217;ve never seen a comfort fit band come back in bent or out of shape.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd because of their thickness, they can actually<strong> help protect your fingers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;ve had a lot of guys say that <strong>their hand got pinned<\/strong> and if it wasn&#8217;t for their comfort fit band, they would have <strong>crushed their fingers<\/strong>. People tend to be very thankful they bought one.<\/p>\n<p><h2>What makes them comfort fit?<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe reason they call them &#8220;<strong>comfort fit<\/strong>&#8221; is because the inside of the ring, the shank, <strong>is rounded or domed<\/strong>. It&#8217;s raised up so the only part of the ring that touches your finger when you&#8217;re wearing it is <strong>the very highest part of the dome<\/strong>. And because the edges are rounded off, they feel wonderful on your Finger. Unlike normal thin plain bands that have <strong>hard flat edge<\/strong> that gouge and <strong>DIG into your skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Comfort fit is the perfect band to buy<\/h2>\n<p>\nThey will last a lifetime, and it only takes a couple minutes to polish them and make them look new again. And if you buy an <strong>extended service plan<\/strong> (which covers repairs and polishing), all the better!<\/p>\n<p><h2>I highly recommend it!<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Comfort fit bands cost a little more&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nBut they&#8217;re durable, smooth, rugged, comfortable and more than anything, <strong>practical<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>They&#8217;re worth every penny.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><h2>Varieties of Comfort Fit Bands<\/h2>\n<p>\nThey make tons and tons of variations now&#8230; Tungsten, rose gold, yellow, black steel&#8230; Some bands are less domed, some bands are lighter weight and thinner, other&#8217;s have different types of finishes on them; hammered, brushed, satin finish&#8230; <strong>Go to a jeweler and check them out today<\/strong> (Or just check them out on Amazon here: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IOwUzK\">comfort fit bands<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\nAll in all, comfort fit bands are <strong>the best type of band to purchase<\/strong>. And I&#8217;m sure with such tough competition with jewelers these days, you&#8217;ll be able to find <strong>the perfect price as well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nA price that is, let&#8217;s just say, <strong>comfortable <\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Cheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Let me tell you what the perfect men&#8217;s wedding band is.
