CCMike those rings are one continuous spiral! solid and pretty heavy! some sort of brass, the women take great pride in polishing them to high shine and add another loop each year, behind their neck, the brass is coiled up ready for next additional ring,(no sleeping on your back)i think the one sitting next to me, is about as far as they go, although i did see another woman that seemed to have more rings,apparently it is their choice! the men do not make them do it, it does not stretch the neck the women are not any taller, it apparently compresses the rib cage,but it beats me! they think it makes them look more attractiveChooChooMike said:Geeeeeeeeez, MY neck hurts looking at that picture

Mike they can take the rings off but rarely do, i have seen pictures of them after removal! looks very strange, but they reckon it all goes back to normal in a couple of years so i presume it is purely a muscle thing! another little edit i would think they remove them a little at a time and allow the muscles to build up to full strengthChooChooMike said:I saw pictures like that years ago in National Geographic magazine. I vaguely remember the article saying that it does stretch the neck and you're also probably right on compressing the rib cage. Also said that those ladies can't take those rings off, else the neck will collapse from the lack of muscles/muscle development and muscle atrophy.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Not quite as bad as cultures which still do the foot/toe binding on women or worse
