Breasts

More on the essential research front.

The image “http://www.thecancerblog.com/media/2006/05/cleavage.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

A new study has found that Australian women’s breasts are getting bigger. This comes from bra maker Berlei which says it needs to make larger bras, and for the first time, sports bras come in E and F cup sizes. The increase in breast size is attributed to changes in diet, and the contraceptive pill.

With the bigger boobs comes the issue of “breast bounce”. According to the Berlei spokeswoman, larger breast sizes meant women were more likely to experience breast bounce when they exercised. Tests carried out at the Australian Institute of Sport found that wearing the right bra size would reduce breast movement and more woman would be able to play sport in comfort. (How good would it have been to have been part of that research team?)

Funnily enough, the “new” study also seems to have made similar findings in China, England, New Zealand, just to name a few.

  4. Sorry, totally lost track of what I was going to blog once I saw the accompanying pic…

    A cynic could suggest it may be down to hormone treatment in animals.

  5. Boysenberry - I had a bit of a challenge (was going to say a hard time, but thats just way too much info) finding a tasteful picture to illustrate the post. There sure are lots of websites around that have girls with absolutely ginormous tits - must be like having two basketballs strapped to their chest. Humungous doesn’t appeal to me at all!!!

  7. There is such thing as too big. Besides, the right size is the size of the ones you’re allowed to ogle up close :)
