Japanese Neck Stretcher

Another interesting but useless gadget from Japan, presenting the neck stretcher. To use this thing, simply place around the neck, than use the handpump to send air rushing through the tube. You are supposed to feel a nice "refreshing sensation" as the pressure slowly stretches the back of your neck. Unfortunatley, like always, you can only purchase this in Japan ($25 USD).

I have a friend that sustained a neck injury, which is very crippling. This is a similar device that he already uses to elevate some of the pain that he has. So it isn't as useless as you might think!

wot a load of useless bollucks
3
wtf i wnat to know were these people get these ideas and what they aer getting paid to do it cause it has to be the biggest waste of money ever
4
thats a pointless invention.
5
Agreed.

Joe is right. If it weren't for the Japanese Neck Stretcher wasting money, we could have sent him to a grammar school. There he would have learned to spell words like, "want," and, "are," along with punctuation.

well you have to figure this, some things are prettier to some people than other people, long necks might make them feel........pretty
8
While it's stated purpose is kinda silly (although, some people are into that kind of thing), I bet it feels pretty good.
9
Well it might be kinda nice feeling... but i think its pretty much just a wombat: waste of money, brains, and time

I think that it's actually a good invention. For people like dancers or participants in other sports, tension in the neck is a big issue. If it works like it's supposed to, it would help realign your vertabrae which helps to relieve some tension.
11
being a football player and a wrestler, it could help keep your neck loose... if it was up to me i'd buy one, $25 seems cheap enough
12
IT make my neck very long. I try on penis now.
13
As a massage therapist in the rehab field, i have seen other, more high tech inventions like this that cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. To achieve neck traction for $25 is something many "not rich" people would be very interested in...If it works. Just wait till you get old, you will wish you had one. Im only 30, and I would love Santa to bring me one.

one mans garbage is an other mans gold (or something like that)
15
I think it's made to take pressure off of your neck. The air pressure supports your head by pushing off your shoulders therefore taking weight off of your neck. Is it that hard to figure out?
16
I Think that it is a very good idea, just for the fact that I have an extra vertebrea in my neck therefore causing a lot of pressure, and pain in my neck and shoulders, I think that it would take a lot of the pressure off of my neck. It would feel a lot better then.
17
what about if you over inflated it, wouldn't there be a problem,i mean couldn't you snap your neck or do some damage
18
seems to me that the japs need to stretch other parts of thier bodys out. We have such large american penises.
19
I bet you a japnese man made this.
20
fuckers i ate this inventions fuckin chinks
21
c'mon man what do think
22
I wonder if I could use it on my gigantic penis? Seems like it's worth a shot.
23
Well, since it is a Japanese invention, there's probably a greater than 50% chance that a Japanese man made it... But seriously, isn't "lol japs make weird stuff" getting a little old yet? After all, I presume most of the people making these comments are from the country that invented RealDoll, the pet rock, and sneakers with lights in them. For those really interested in it: http://www.rakuten.co.jp/e-manzoku/496503/496504/#448969 That's the only page I found on a quick search of Rakuten that has international shipping. If you can't read Japanese, good luck with Babelfish :) Not sure how much real therapeutic value the thing has though...
24
I bet this was made just because this person wanted money. Because of businesses these days, you would have to think something original to make more money, and this was the idea
25
Oh my goodness...I've been looking to strech my neck out for about 5 years now! Thank god for the japanese and their....creativity...*shakes head* What a strange invention....gotta love the Japanese....
