Some facts about breasts
They stop traffic, men love them and women are rarely satisfied with them. However, women continue to be preoccupied with the size and shape of their breasts.
1. Most women think that the ideal size for breasts is a C/D cup, whereas the average breast size of women in the UK is 36B.
2. Most women who have breast operations go up or down two sizes.
"When it comes to cosmetic surgery, breast enlargements and reductions are by far the most popular operation, with almost 37 per cent of self-pay cosmetic surgery operations in BUPA hospitals being breast enlargements or reductions," reveals Dr Paula Franklin, BUPA's assistant medical director.
Over 70 per cent of women in the UK wear the wrong sized bra. BUPA's Dr Paula Franklin advises: "Wearing the wrong sized bra can lead to inadequate support, pressure sores, or back or neck problems (caused by the bra straps pulling on your back and neck). Therefore, it is important that women get themselves measured professionally and find a bra that gives them the required support and comfort. Women should wear a bra to prevent discomfort and sagging."
3. There was a lawsuit fought from 1934 to 1942 over rights to the bra, between a German-born designer, Otto Titzling, and a French-born designer, Philippe de Brassiere. Titzling had invented the first bra and although he patented improvements that he made, he did not actually patent the original. Brassiere won the case.
4. In the late 1920's, a Russian immigrant named Ida Rosenthal, was responsible for grouping women into the bust size categories (cup sizes) that we use nowadays and developed bras for every stage of life (puberty to maturity).
Happy National Cleavage Day!
