I was just wondering if (at all) how common purity rings are in the Catholic Church?
 
It seems to be more like a personal devotion. I prayed to God for my own ring and I’ve had mine for years after finding “the one ring” at a random store I would never go into normally. :] I’ve tried other items to wear (necklace with medals, bracelets, chaplet, etc) but this is the only one that has stuck through the years.
 
I loved the idea and I got one that says, “Pure Before God” but it didn’t fix my problem. I think if you see it as a “lucky charm” or “amulet” of some kind it won’t help you. But if you are sincere in living chaste as a single person and are seeking God’s will for your life, it can be a symbol and reminder of that pledge.

BTW my priest said they do not bless them.

I was in my 30s or 40s when they came out, and eventually I thought, why not wear one myself! 🙂 As a reminder, and a pledge - and maybe a conversation starter if I’m dating a guy and it’s time to have THAT conversation! 😉
 
I think it can be lovely, but it’s definitely more important to have your heart in the right place first.
 
I thinking it is a great way to show how much you care about someone. It’s great for both the guy and gal, because it’s like engagement rings before engagement rings. It really is a great way and reminder for a chaste relationship.
 
I love my purity ring! It says, “Today, I promise I will wait agreeing to stay pure, because I know God loves me and His blessing is in store.” It definitely puts my heart in the right place and it drives me nuts to go without it!

I think they are geared to high school aged. Maybe not as much as you’d normally see… but hopefully they would be promoted more! I love mine.
 
I wear one ( 16 year old male ) and I love it and it keeps me grounded but if course I do slip up (masterbation wise ) but that’s what good about it so when I do it’s a reminder of purity And love and I think it’s hard to abstain and so open about it in today’s society and I think it’s great to save myself for my furture wife and mine says “true love waits”! It also puts my heart in the right place !
