Use a Plastic Bag

The simplest method is wearing a plastic bag over your hand.
Step 1:
For this technique, you will need a small plastic bag that will go over your entire hand up to your wrist area.
Step 2:
Secure the plastic bag so that it clings to the skin of your hands. Point all your fingers upward and compress them, so the area covered by your fingers is approximately the same as the space of the bangles that you want to put on.
Step 3:
Position the first bangle and slip it past the tips of your fingers.
Step 4:
Allow it to just glide through the plastic, making sure that your fingers are constantly adjusting to the dimension of the bangle. Usually, bangles are easy to wear until you reach the widest point of the hand, which is the thumb area.
The thumb just at the side of the hand, adding about 25% more space than the bangle has to overcome before reaching its destination, which is the wrist.
The easiest way to beat this is by folding your thumb inward, so it doesn’t get in the way of the bangle. Folding the thumb also makes your hand as slim as possible, so there’s less obstruction to the bangle’s smooth glide.
As the bangle traverses the thumb area, you will feel a lot of resistance, and that’s okay; it’s normal for the hand to resist something smaller than its usual dimensions. Do not try to bear down on the bangle, because you are going to hurt yourself.
This applies most especially to bangles made of harder materials, such as metal or even jade. jade bangle
s are hard, but they are also excessively smooth, which is a big advantage when something doesn’t fit.
Step 5:
Try twisting and rotating the bangle while coaxing it to glide against the plastic, do not just pushing against your hand. Soon enough, it will pass through the widest part of the hand, and you can continue until you reach the wrist.
Repeat this process until you get all of the bangles on your wrist. When you are done slipping all the bangles on, all that is left to do is pull out the plastic bag, and voila – the task is done, and you have one or more beautiful bangles on your wrist.

If I don’t have a plastic bag at the moment; what can I do?
While plastic is an ideal choice because it is smooth, no matter what you do with it, you can also use hosiery if even a thin sweater if you want to. Pull the sweater downward until your entire hand is covered and repeat the process that we described above.
Hosiery and other thin fabrics reduce friction and also allows tight-fitting bangles to glide easily toward the wrist.

However, if you don’t have a plastic cover, let’s try the following method.
Dish soap/mineral oil/ baby oil can also help!
Use simple lubrication to take off tight bangle
If you don’t have plastic bag on hand or the bangle that you want to remove is super sensitive to moisture, we have a much better idea: use simple lubrication to remove the bangle instead.
1. You can probably use a little water and dish soap to remove it.
2. Another alternative lubricant is mineral oil or baby oil, which are even slicker than soap and water.
3. Some lotions with a lot of oil and water content can also be used to remove bangles, it is fine for a gold bangle, silver bangle, and jade bangle.
Just make sure that you wipe the lubricant off of the bangles before storing them, especially if you are using a metal bangle.
Warm reminder before putting on a tight bangle / taking off a stuck bangle:
When you are trying to put on a tight bangle or take off a stuck bangle, do not put force to move the bangle back and forth from your hand. It does not only make your pain but also makes your hand swelling. Once your hand gets swelling, it is hard to use above methods to put on or remove the bangle.
How to Choose a Well-Fitting Bangle?
The only way to find a good fitting bangle when buying new bangles is to get the horizontal measurement of the bangle’s inner space and then compare it with the length of the widest part of your hand when the thumb is folded inward. You will be able to visualize if it’s going to be an okay squeeze or a very tight squeeze, depending on the measurement of the bangle itself.
Sometimes, bangles slip through easily because they are hard, and the surface of the bangle is super smooth, as in the case of jade bangles and some metal bangles.
However, for wider bangles with more ornate designs and are made of metal, the squeeze may be more difficult because of the ridges along the bangles’ circumference.

Choosing a Bangle That Looks Good on You
The perfect bangle does exist! However, it has to match your skin tone. If you have fair skin, your skin tone is “cool.” If you are tan, then the hue is “warm.” And if your skin tone is somewhere between fair and tan, that’s called a neutral skin tone.
People with warm skin tone should also go for warmer colors like yellow (as in yellow gold bangles) and similar bangles.
A cooler skin tone will demand lighter colors like blue and green. Muted colors like platinum and silver are also effective fashion for cooler skin tones. What about a neutral skin tone? It’s a bit trickier with a neutral skin tone because you have to experiment with a combination of cool and warm tones. For instance, a “diamond and yellow gold” look would be appropriate for most people with neutral skin tones.
