WHAT TIME OF DAY DO FINGERS SWELL THE MOST?

THE ANSWER

Evening. Your fingers swell throughout the day as you move, eat, and your body retains fluid. Heat makes it worse. Summer evenings are peak swelling time. Morning is when fingers are their smallest, especially after sleep. This is why jewellers recommend getting sized in the afternoon. Not first thing in the morning. Not late at night. Mid-afternoon gives you the best average. If you size your ring in the morning, it will feel tight by dinner. If you size it at night after exercise and salty food, it will feel loose in the morning. Aim for the middle.
