Abstract: A clothing containment ring includes a rigid outer annulus and an inner ring liner formed of a non-skid friction producing material such as rubber, leather or the like. The inside wall of the annulus on which the liner is attached is formed to be generally planar in the axial direction (and of course generally circular in the circumferential direction). With this construction, gathered clothing can be inserted into the ring and thus maintained in the gathered or bunched condition by the ring.
