How to use
Insertion is identical to the standard Ring With Support. Removal is where the knob helps — hook a finger over the knob, fold and pull. Much cleaner grip than feeling for a smooth ring edge.
FAQ
Does the knob cause irritation during normal wear?
No — soft, contoured silicone designed for the finger-access position.
