And how long does it take western females to 'attend to their toilet'?

And let me tell you about itchiness under bras, especially underwired
ones, and especially in humid weather...

Sounds like how one sneaks a scratch under an underwired bra....

I doubt it...they don't view the neck coils as unusual or cruel, just
like we don't view underwired bras that way...
Or pantihose...
Or hotrollers...
Or starving oneself to achieve an artificial image of 'beauty' which is
arbitrarily contrived by one's society...

If they can ride bicycles, it sounds like the neck rings neither restrict
nor constrict the wearer...
