How long can a neck get?

Some tribal nations (see women of the the Kayan Lahwi tribe) put rings around a baby's neck shortly after birth. As the baby grows, the ring is removed and replaced with a wider ring. This pushes down the shoulders, making the neck appear longer. A ring is added periodically. Eventually, an adult's neck is surrounded by 8 or more metal rings. These adornments are only occasionally removed, usually to put on another ring. Because the rings have held up the head and stretched the cervical spine and muscles, the person often cannot hold up their own head when not wearing the rings! It is painful to wear, but also painful to remove them Typically, these rings nearly double the length of the average neck. Here is a video about the women of Padaung.

How do karen women put the rings on the neck?

By what I remember (I could be wrong! Please correct me if I am) they wrap each ring around their necks individually, stopping only when the chin is firmly pressed against the ring, causing it to stretch itself a little. Over time this causes the neck to become longer to accomidate the rings comfortably and in doing such they can add more rings. The faster the neck stretches to fit the more rings a woman can put around her neck
