Second breast size. Beautiful, big, small female breasts

Standard ideas about the female breast and its size are often erroneous. The breast of any woman is individual, and may have a special shape, size and location (examples of the mammary glands are shown in the photo).

The main features that determine the individuality of the shape of the female breast are the interval between the mammary glands and the direction of the nipples.

The gap between the breasts can vary:

The final shape of the mammary glands also depends on the direction of the nipples.

There are the following options for their location:

• the nipples are aimed straight, the areola around them has a small size;
• the direction of the nipples is different, they are oriented in opposite directions relative to each other;
• nipples are turned down, this phenomenon more often affects women after 45 years.

The female breast (the photo illustrates examples of their forms), along with the indicated parameters, may have a special shape, size, have their own individual characteristics: be narrow, wide or medium, located high or low on the chest.

bust size

Wrong fitting bra common cause unsightly appearance of the breast, circulatory dysfunction, or the development of dangerous forms of pathologies, such as cancer. Before buying the upper part of the underwear, you should determine its size.

The marking used to indicate the size of the mammary glands may contain:

• only a number - 1, 2, 3 and beyond;
• number and Latin letter - 75A, 90C, 80B and other designations. In this case, the number is the circumference under the bust, indicated in cm, and the letter is the volume of the cup.

The fullness of the chest in letters and numbers is determined according to the following table:

Difference between chest circumference and back circumference in cm	Cup volume	Size of mammary glands
10, 11, 12	AA	0
12,13	A	1
13, 14, 15	B	2
15, 16, 17	C	3
18, 19, 20	D	4
20, 21, 22	DD	5
23, 24, 25	E	6
26, 27, 28	F	7

Breast size calculation

For self-calculation of breast size, you will need a tailor's centimeter. With its help, such fundamental measurements as the girth of the mammary glands and the girth under the breast are taken.

The bra increases these parameters, even if its style does not include corrective elements: bones, cups, foam rubber or gel push-up fillers. Therefore, when buying a bra or bra, the measurement of the circumference of the chest and back must be carried out without clothes or underwear.

In the case of buying clothes without the possibility of trying on, you should calculate the size of the chest in everyday underwear, under which the clothes are purchased.

Calculation scheme:

Based on the results obtained, the size of the mammary glands is calculated by the formula: the value of the girth of the chest minus the value of the circumference under the breast.

For example, the bust girth is 90 cm, and the second main value is 75. When subtracting the smaller number from a larger number, the number 15 is obtained. The final value, as well as the chest girth and back girth indicators, allow you to determine the chest size according to the table in an alphabetic or digital designation.

Breast Facts: Small Breasts

The following facts are known about small size breasts (0 or 1):

Medium chest

Medium breasts are breasts in sizes 2 to 3, and this size is the most common in the world.

The following facts are known about the average chest:

• the average chest looks harmoniously on thin, slender, curvy and obese women Oh. The main parameter that determines this harmony is not weight, but the ratio of the chest, hips and waist to each other;
• medium breasts sometimes cause inconvenience when performing physical activity, however, rarely exerts a high load on the shoulders and back;
• size 2 or 3 breasts look great in a push-up bra: the corrective underwear lifts the mammary glands and eliminates the possible hollow between them.

• women with an average size find it easier than others to choose underwear or clothes.

Large chest

A woman's breast (the photo shows an example of a large breast) is traditionally considered large if its size is indicated by the number 4 or more.

There are the following Interesting Facts about big size breasts:

• such a breast can have a different shape - from round and full to asymmetrical and teardrop-shaped;
• if large breasts are natural, then its shape and direction depend on the age of its owner. It can be elastic and taut in young age or be located at the level of the abdomen in a prone position;
• most often, large breasts are found in curvy or overweight women. Also, the breast can acquire an impressive volume during pregnancy and during feeding;
• the hollow between large breasts is not always absent - voluminous mammary glands can be widely planted;
• due to genetic characteristics, slender or thin and fragile girls can wear large and natural breasts;

• large breasts often lose their former shape after a woman gives birth to a child for the first time.

What determines the shape of the breast

The shape, size, location of the mammary glands depend on the following fundamental factors.

genetic predisposition

This is the first circumstance that affects:

• the size of the mammary glands;
• breast shape and fullness;
• breast firmness;
• the location of the breasts relative to each other;
• the height of the mammary glands;
• areola color;
• direction of the nipples;
• symmetry of the chest and nipples;
• areola width.

Breasts can be passed on to a girl from one relative, both male and female. female line, while hip width, waist circumference, weight or height may well come from another.

Tightened and firm breasts may be the result of regular exercise, however genetics also affect how strong Cooper's ligaments (Cooper's ligaments) are.

These are the connective fibers of the mammary glands, which maintain the shape of the breast in a raised elastic state, prevent their premature sagging. Cooper's ligaments become weak with age, and for some, due to heredity, even before 35 years.

Weight

The second factor that affects the size of the breast and the fullness of the mammary glands. When losing weight, girls lose centimeters in their chest circumference, because the mammary glands are covered with a fatty layer. Weight gain leads to an increase in this adipose tissue, and the size of the breast becomes larger.

However, an increase in the fat layer also leads to stretching and weakening of the Cooper's ligaments, which is why the breasts can lose their natural shape, tone and elasticity, as well as sag over the years.

Hormonal background

Breast size is also determined by female sex hormones - estrogens, therefore, with a sharp increase in estrogen in female body the breast increases, and with a deficiency it becomes smaller.

The level of estrogen in the blood can be affected by:

• menstrual cycle;
• taking oral contraceptives;
• malnutrition and debilitating diets;
• bad habits (use of alcohol and tobacco products);
• lack of vitamin E.

Pregnancy and lactation

During pregnancy, the female breast also undergoes changes. In the first months of pregnancy, sensitive mammary glands rise, they swell, and pregnant women may experience pain in the décolleté area. The color of the areola can change, and Montgomery's nodules appear on them - small formations that indicate an increase in sweat glands.

The breast increases in size gradually throughout the entire period of pregnancy, and reaches the peak of its size during breastfeeding. On average, its weight increases by 3-4 times.

Underwear

An incorrectly chosen bra in adolescence can provoke violations in the formation of the mammary glands. Also, the right underwear corrects the shape and supports the chest, allowing you to maintain its elasticity and keep Cooper's ligaments in a taut state.

Age

The last factor that affects breast size in the early stages of life, and shape in the later stages. The main size of the mammary glands is acquired at the age of 14-18.

Is it possible to pump up the chest

Photos of large female breasts on Internet sites that talk about the fact that the mammary glands can be increased in size through exercise do not always confirm this fact. In fact, it is impossible to change the fullness of the chest with the help of training.

The breast of a woman is made up of mammary glands and adipose tissue, while the mammary glands are located under the bust. When performing physical exercises, the pectoral muscles increase, while the size of the chest remains the same.

Training and exercise can positively affect the shape of the breast, lift it and make it more elastic and attractive. They should be done on a regular basis.

Basic forms

There are several types of mammary glands.

The main ones are:

1. Asymmetrical. The mammary glands of women can vary in size from each other. Most often this is not a pathology. Asymmetric breasts can be expressed to varying degrees: in some women, the difference between the mammary glands is completely invisible and can be corrected with a special underwear, while others experience large complexes, because the difference in their mammary glands is 50% or more. Breast asymmetry can be corrected only with the help of plastic surgery.
2. Round. This breast shape has the shape of a ball. She happens different sizes. Round mammary glands are most often located at a small interval relative to each other and are completely asymmetrical.
3. Conical/triangular. Such a chest is never close-set, because its upper part is always narrower than the lower one. Rarely there is a cone-shaped breast, the nipples of which are directed straight. The size of the triangular breast varies from 0 to 5 and more.
4. Teardrop. Outwardly, teardrop-shaped mammary glands are similar to the form described above - the upper part of the chest is already lower, and the direction of the nipples is different. However, the lower part does not expand sharply, but more evenly, and is not angular, but soft and oval in shape.
5. Planted far away. The interval located between the breasts is 4 cm or more. The size of such a breast is most often 0, 1 and 2. The nipples can be directed both directly and in different directions from each other.
6. Small. Breasts, the size of which is 0 or 1. Small breasts often have a taut shape, because there is no adipose tissue in the composition of these mammary glands.
7. Heavy. Available in sizes 4 and up. The most common forms of heavy breasts are round, oval, teardrop. Nipples can be small and prominent, or wide and flat.

Unusual breast shapes

The female breast (the photo shows its different forms) may be of an unusual shape.

It includes the following:

1. Chest with low projection. In circumference, such breasts can correspond to a certain size, but when trying on a bra, its volume is not enough to completely fill the cup. Choosing a smaller size of underwear does not solve the problem, because the girth of the bones in this case also becomes smaller and cannot position the chest.
2. Incomplete chest. Such a breast does not have enough volume, because its base is less than necessary. The shape of such a breast is elongated, oval or cone-shaped. Under this form, it is difficult to choose underwear, because the chest does not fill the cups of the bra.

Types of nipples

The female breast (the photo shows the types of nipples), regardless of shape and size, may have the following types of nipples:

• standard- the nipple is always raised above the areola without the use of stimulation;
• convex- a nipple with a raised areola, from the side it may seem swollen;
• retracted- the nipple is not located above, but under the rim, it can rise during stimulation;
• flat- in appearance, such a nipple is absent, because it does not rise above the areola;
• asymmetrical- nipples of different shapes, for example, one is standard or convex, and the second is retracted or flat.

The body of every woman is unique, which is why the breasts and nipples of any owner will differ in a special shape, location, direction and size. Photos of Hollywood stars confirm that the volume of the bust does not affect the success of a woman and is not the main component of her charisma.

The main types of female breasts:

When visiting lingerie stores, most women do not know their breast size. They mainly rely on fitting, trusting salespeople to match various options. Almost all shops are equipped with fitting rooms.

But now there is a large selection of bras in online stores, where it is impossible to try on. In this case, you need to know the size of the breast. To do this, a small calculation is made, the data obtained is compared with the size table, and then they acquire the product they like without any problems.

In stores, you can choose bras that are suitable for color, design, cut and additional accessories. But any woman will feel comfortable only in a bra that fits her perfectly in size.

If you make a mistake and choose the wrong size, then the belt will reap, short straps will raise the chest high, the cups will not fit snugly to the body, the bones will stick out or rub under the chest.

Therefore, before going to the store or ordering goods via the Internet, it is necessary to take measurements.

To determine the size of the mammary glands, only 2 measurements are taken - this is the girth of the body at the bottom of the chest and in its middle.

To decide how to find out what breast size, you need to have a special centimeter tape on hand for measurement.

How to take measurements to determine the size of the breast

For correct measurements, it is desirable that the most comfortable bra is worn., but at the same time, it should give the breast a beautiful shape. In addition, this bra should not have foam rubber that increases the size of the breast.

It is better to have someone help with the measurement procedure. After all, it is inconvenient to measure yourself, which can affect the accuracy of the results.

During the measurement, you must follow the instructions. It will help you find out what size of the chest, after the measurements are taken:

How to find out what breast size? To begin with, with a measuring tape, clasp the torso under the chest, and then measure the protruding places of the bust

• Grasp the torso with a tape, it should pass strictly under the chest, not be weakened, but tightly fit to the body. The data obtained is best recorded on paper.
• Then, with your hands down, lift the tape, draw it over the protruding places, approximately in the middle of the mammary glands, that is, in the nipple area. It is also desirable to write down the results obtained on paper.

If the indicators do not end in round figures, they must be averaged. For example, with indicators from 67-72 cm, the average number is 70, and with 83-87, the number is taken - 85.

These figures are considered to be the circumference of the body under the mammary glands. Then these data will be useful in order to calculate the size of the finished product.

What indicators correspond to 1, 2 and 3 breast sizes

In order to purchase the appropriate bra, you need to know how it is customary to designate sizes. Usually the number corresponds to the girth of the mammary glands, and the letter of the Latin alphabet refers to the size of the cups, for example - 80V. However, it will not be superfluous to know how to determine: 1 (first), 2 (second) and 3 (third) breast sizes.

To accurately calculate the number of mammary glands, you need to do a simple calculation. From the size of the protruding points, it is necessary to subtract the girth of the body under the chest, the difference will tell you the desired size.

For example, if the size under the bust is 88 cm, and the girth of the protruding points is 103 cm, then the first one is subtracted from the second indicator, that is, the largest number, the difference will be 15 cm.

Look at the resulting difference according to the table and determine your breast size.

How to find out what size breast
The difference in measurements	Size in numbers
12 - 13 cm	1
14 - 15 cm	2
16 - 17 cm	3

How to choose the right bra: a table of Russian sizes

Having learned what breast size, it remains only to figure out how to determine the Russian size of the product from the table. To do this, you only need to know the measurement of girth. chest under the mammary glands, then correlate it with the table. For example, if the chest circumference is 90 cm, then the size is 75B.

Cup letters	Digital bra sizes
	65		70	75			80		85
	Sizes in cm bust
BUT	77-79	82-84			87-89	92-94		97-99

FROM	81-83	86-88			91-93	96-98		101-103

European standards for determining the size of a bra

In European countries, not all sizes are the same, only Russian and German bras have matches.

In countries such as France, Italy, England, there is a completely different size marking.

To correctly determine the French size, the number 15 must be added to the Russian one. For example, if the Russian marking is 65, then the French one is 80, 70 = 85, etc.

The most convenient marking of bras produced in Italy, it is numbered from 1 to 12. Italian sizes correspond to Russian sizes as follows: marking “1” is equal to 65 Russian size, “2” corresponds to 70, etc.

Absolutely different sizes of bras exist in America, since in this country all measurements are made not in centimeters, but in inches. This value is much larger than a centimeter (1 inch = 2.5 cm), which is why there is a discrepancy in the markings. The smallest US size is 30, it is equal to Russian 65, 32 = 70, 34 = 75, and so on up to US size 52.

Parallel bra sizes: how not to make a mistake in choosing

If we consider the table of bra markings, then next to the selected size there are those that can also come in time. Often a close size fits better, so the product fits more perfectly than what was purchased before. These can be bras with the same cups, but different belts, or vice versa, the belts will remain unchanged, the cup will change. Such dimensions are called - parallel or sister.

Parallel markings are worth a try if your bra feels uncomfortable: the straps dig into the shoulders, the belt presses on the ribs, the cup does not frame the chest correctly.

Determining the sister size is quite simple; there is a special table for this.

Parallel marking
65A	70A	75A	80A	85A	90A
65V	70V	75V	80V	85V	90V
65С	70С	75С	80С	85С	90С

To choose the right size, the table can be read horizontally, vertically and diagonally. Each direction allows you to choose your own parameter. If you move horizontally, the size of the cups and belt will change. For example, if the original size is 75B, then to select a smaller cup and belt, the marking on the left is 70B, if it is one size larger, on the right - 80B.

Very often, the sizes of the cups remain the same, but the belt is tight, discomfort is felt, then it is necessary to move along the numbers directed diagonally. If for the initial size - 75B you need a larger belt, the size is taken - 80A, if, on the contrary, the belt is already too loose, it is better to choose less - 70C.

In cases where the belt is comfortable and does not press, and it is desirable to change the cups, then adjacent vertical sizes are selected. If you need a larger cup, then you need to choose a size - 75C. The smaller cup corresponds to the size - 75A.

Choosing another bra according to the proposed principle, when the cup remains unchanged, but the belt changes, then along with it there is a change in proportions.

Such a bra will no longer fit well, even if you try to adjust the length of the belt with the help of hooks.

When choosing a bra, you must adhere to the rule that any new one should be larger or smaller than the previous one, only 1 size. Since each bra should match in proportion to the figure of a woman, emphasize her beauty, and not spoil it.

Elena Malysheva will tell you how to find out what breast size you have and advise what to look for when choosing a bra:

Tips for choosing a bra according to your breast size:

The bra must fit properly and be comfortable to wear. An uncomfortable bra can cause a disease of the female breast. Therefore, before going to the store, you are faced with the question: How to determine the size of the chest?

After all, only suitable size bra will give a woman comfort and confidence.

3 basic steps to find out your bust size:

1. Measure the circumference under the bust.
2. Measure the circumference of the chest at the most protruding points.
3. Determine your size according to our matching table.

Now let's take a closer look at how to properly follow these steps.

Measurement of the required parameters

In order to determine the size of your bust, you need to take into account the girth under the bust and the girth of the bust at the most protruding points.

Measurements are carried out with an ordinary centimeter tape. You need to do this when you are wearing that bra that makes your breasts beautiful and sits flawlessly.

However, it should not be with foam rubber and other volume-enhancing effects (push up). Of course, you can measure everything you need yourself, but a more accurate result will be obtained if someone else does it.

The main parameters are the girth under the bust and at the most protruding points.

Instruction:

1. We measure the girth under the bust (usually determined in centimeters), the measuring tape should wrap around your body tightly enough.
2. Also in centimeters we determine the girth of the chest at the most protruding points, the measuring tape should lie horizontally and freely, not tighten the chest. It will be more correct to measure when your hands are lowered.

Now you can determine the size of underwear that will suit you. It usually consists of numbers indicating the size under the bust and letters that indicate the size of the cups, for example, 75C.

There is also an international size marking, which consists of letters only.

Volume under bust

There may be a small problem in determining the numerical size parameter. If the circumference under the bust is 75 or 80 cm, then everything is clear. What if he is, for example, 76 or 79 cm?

Below is a table to determine the size of the chest:

Volume under bust	Size in numbers
63-67 cm	65
68-72 cm	70
73-77 cm	75
78-82 cm	80
83-87 cm	85
88-92 cm	90
93-97 cm	95
98-102 cm	100
103-107 cm	105
108-112 cm	110
113-117 cm	115
118-122 cm	120

Manufacturers in Russia, Germany, and Belarus use this designation for the size of a bra relative to the volume under the breast.

The Italians indicate the size with numbers from 1 to 12, Australia starts from 8 to 30 in 2 cm increments, with the same step, but starting from 30, corset underwear manufacturers in England, the USA and Ukraine determine the volume under the bust.

Manufacturer's advice - determine the size of the breast with a tolerance of 4 cm!

Compliance with the sizes of Russia, Germany, Belarus to other manufacturers:

Russia, Germany, Belarus	Italy	Australia	England, USA, Ukraine	France, Spain
65	1	8	30	80
70	2	10	32	85
75	3	12	34	90
80	4	14	36	95
85	5	16	38	100
90	6	18	40	105
95	7	20	42	110
100	8	22	44	115
105	9	24	46	120
110	10	26	48	125
115	11	28	50	130
120	12	30	52	135

There is international marking, which uses Latin letters in the same way as when designating clothing sizes.

Correspondence of the Russian and international designations of the volume under the breast:

• 65-XS,
• 70 - S,
• 75 - M,
• 80 - L,
• 85-XL,
• 90-XXL,
• 95-XXXL,
• 100 - XXXXL.

How to determine cup size

The size of the bra cups is very important, because the chest should be comfortable, it should not “dangle”, but it should not stick out either.

Then you will look beautiful.

Almost everywhere, the size of the cups is indicated by Latin letters from A to H, double letters can be used. Although the size of cups, indicated by numbers already on bras, is almost never found, it is still clearer to some just such a designation.

To determine the size of the cups, you will need both measurements that you took: the volume under the bust and the volume of the bust at the maximum protruding points, all in centimeters. Subtract the first from the second and get the difference in centimeters.

Correspondence of the difference in volumes and the size of the cups:

Volume difference in centimeters	Size letter	Digital designation of the size
until 10-11	AA	0
12-14	A	1
15-16	B	2
17-18	C	3
19-20	D	4
21-22	E	5
23-24	F	6
25-26	G	7
27 and above	H	8

Manufacturers in different countries may indicate the size of bra cups in slightly different ways. French and Spanish corsets are marked with the same letters as Russian or Belarusian ones.

Correspondence of Italian and Australian cup sizes to Russian ones:

• AA - absent,
• A-A
• B-B,
• C-C
• D-D
• E-DD
• F-E
• G-F

Correspondence of English and American sizes of cups:

• AA - AA,
• A-A
• B-B,
• C-C
• D-D
• E-DD
• F - E in England, DDD / E in the USA,
• G-F.

Bust size example

You measured the volume under the bust, let's say it turned out to be 79 centimeters. So you need a bra marked 80. Next, measure your chest, let's say 94 centimeters. We consider: 94-79=15. This difference corresponds to the size of cups B.

So, it turns out 80B. However, do not forget about the difference in the designations used by manufacturers in different countries, in order to correctly determine, you need to find a match in the volume under the breast and in the size of the cups.

On a note:

• In order to ensure that your measurements correspond to reality, and not to the desired representation, follow these rules: Measure your chest in a fitting bra that does not exaggerate or reduce the size of your bust. He should sit on you like a glove.
• When measuring the underbust girth, you should exhale the air, firmly attach the centimeter under the chest and keep it parallel to the floor.
• In order to correctly measure the girth at the protruding points, it is necessary to stand up straight and firmly attach the centimeter strictly horizontally to the circle.

Parallel Dimensions

Even if you are absolutely sure that your bust size is correct and are used to buying lingerie with a certain marking, do not neglect trying on bras of the so-called parallel sizes.

In parallel, measure another 1-2 other sizes.

It happens that a model of its size does not sit very well, and a different ratio of cups and volume under the bust turns out to be more advantageous. Experienced sellers will always recommend trying on one or two parallel sizes.

An example of bra size interchangeability

• 75A - 75B,
• 80A - 75B,
• In size 75B, can models with a larger cup and less volume under the bust (70C) or with a smaller cup and more volume (80A) fit?
• For size 80B it is worth trying on another 75C and 70D,
• Instead of 85B, you can try 80C and 75D,
• Try on 85C and 80D with 90B.

This difference in size is mainly due to differences in the features of the models. The shape of the cups, fastening and shape of the straps, even the fabric - all this can be decisive in choosing one of the parallel sizes. It happens that some models are suitable, for example, only 80A, while others only 75B.

Surprising but true
More than 70% of women do not know the size of their breasts, or at least cannot name it for sure. When asked what size your bust is, the answer is often heard - “probably two”, or “at least a three”, but no more.

However, it will be more convenient for you yourself if you start the fitting with the most suitable specimens. However, lingerie can not be tried on in all stores, and when choosing a gift, it is not always convenient to ask about sizes.

Most modern men imagine perfect girl a real buxom seductress. However, some half a century ago, the views of male representatives on the standards of female beauty were completely different. Confirmation of this rather entertaining fact is a study in which the most popular celebrities over the past five decades were named, and at the same time the size of their busts. As it turned out, neat breasts, like those of Irina Shayk and Jennifer Aniston, have not been in trend for a long time, which cannot be said about the roundness of Kim Kardashian - today her fifth size is at the peak of popularity.

It's no secret that the standards of female beauty are constantly changing. Representatives of the British lingerie brand Bluebella decided to find out which busts have been in fashion over the past 50 years. As a result of the research, the brand's experts came to the conclusion that during this time, women's breasts on average increased from the second to the fifth size. You can follow how this beauty transformation took place by viewing our photo gallery.

In the 1960s, the most popular female breast size was 34B. Jane Fonda could boast of such parameters at that time. Despite her seemingly modest "deuce", the actress became the star of the sensational erotic film "Barbarella" and was considered one of the main sex symbols of that time. By the way, in the early 2000s, following the fashion, Jane nevertheless increased her bust. However, very little time passed, and Fonda greatly regretted this manipulation and removed the implants from her breasts. “I lived for many years without feeling feminine, and I had the idea that implants would change that. For a while, the trick worked - the implants gave me confidence. But my husband hated them, and I followed him, ”the actress once admitted in one of her interviews.


In the 1960s, the star of the 2000s Paris Hilton could well have been at the peak of popularity - her breast size is also 34B.


Irina Shayk would also be a real idol of the 1960s. By nature, she has a small neat chest of the second size.


Jennifer Aniston is another star size 34B bust.


In the 1970s, the fashion for women's breasts changed. The modest "deuce" is being replaced by a confident "troika". It is with such feminine roundness that the main star of that time, Barbara Streisand, is distinguished.


Further proof that fashion is cyclical, 1950s sex symbol Marilyn Monroe, like Barbara Streisand, had 34C breasts.


One of the modern star owners of the third breast size is Megan Fox. By the way, the actress got a magnificent bust thanks to the efforts of a plastic surgeon.

In the 1970s, Jennifer Lopez would have been in trend - the pop diva wears bras in size 34C.

The 1980s can be safely called the heyday of plastic surgery in Hollywood. In this decade, many stars are actively turning to surgeons in order to make their modest bust much more magnificent. The most popular size is 34D - it was precisely such a bust that the star of the movie "Splash" Daryl Hannah could boast of at that time.

Today, one of the owners of an appetizing "four" with a small chest circumference of 93-95 cm (34th American size) is the model Adriana Lima.


The chest of Kate Upton, who has recently lost a lot of weight, could also become a reference in the 1980s - her size is 34D.


Katy Perry is another modern bust size that was at its peak in the 1980s.


In the 1990s, Pamela Anderson became the main sex symbol. At this time, girls around the world without exception dream of becoming as slender and buxom as the star of Baywatch. The size of her silicone bust, by the way, at that time was 34DD.


Another star of the 90s was actress Halle Berry. The size of her bust at that time was also as close to ideal as possible.


The modern owner of a solid "five" is Tyra Banks.


Christina Aguilera is another celebrity who wears 34DD bras.


In the 2000s, the standards of female beauty are changing again, though this time not so dramatically. More appetizing girls come into fashion, so the most “running” breast size is 36D. It was this bust that Scarlett Johansson could boast of at that time.


Jessica Simpson is another owner of a delicious "four" with a chest circumference of 98-100 cm.


Today, the owners of mouth-watering roundness are still in trend. According to British experts, the most popular breast size today is 36DD - exactly the same, by the way, for TV star Kim Kardashian.


The parameters of the Charlotte McKinney model also meet the current beauty standards today.


Actress Kat Dennings is another 36DD celebrity.


Actress and fashion model Lucy Pinder also boasts a fifth breast size.


Do you agree with the conclusions of the British experts? (Pictured: Kelly Brook.)

What chest size do these men prefer? Peer into their faces and try to comprehend the logic of male addictions. However, we admit that this time they objectively pleased us!

0th breast size

DENIS, 32: Girls with size zero breasts look like unearthly creatures, like angels. I really love rare, unusual phenomena. Compared with music, size zero breasts are not a popular motive, but a jazz composition for connoisseurs and aesthetes. The eye clings to this, consciousness tries to orient itself, form a reaction, which causes special feelings for these ephemeral forms and beings - feelings of surprise, interest, play, passion, intrigue, the unknown.

1 chest size

IGOR, 33: I really love my wife's breasts - small, with small, neat light pink nipples. That's the one I've always liked. Why the chest of the first size? Because it is feminine, beautiful, because small breasts are never an unsuccessful form. I know that many men like it because you can not wear underwear ... But I think that protruding nipples under the fabric attract too much male attention, so you need to use this advantage only purposefully.

2 bust size

NICHOLAS, 25: It's very simple: I love skinny girls, and I love harmony. A miniature girl, you see, is best suited for small, neat breasts of 2 sizes. Which does not conflict with the figure. In general, I think the second breast size is perfect from all sides. A girl with size 2 breasts does not look like a boy, and at the same time, such a bust is usually beautiful and elastic without any tricks. And over time, it will definitely not lose shape. Which is also important, you see.

3 bust size

OLEG, 24: When building more or less serious relationship men are not so important what kind of “fruits” a girl can boast of. Believe it or not, the most important thing for us is the ease of communication! Well, so that the girl is not ashamed of her breasts. Owners of breast size 3 never complex, they are self-confident. After all, the third breast size is almost the golden ratio, the perfect balance of splendor and accuracy. Well, it is important that the nipples are beautifully shaped. By the way, why is everyone talking so much about breasts and so little about nipples?

4 chest size and above

GREGORY, 29: The strength of a woman is in her weakness, in the femininity of forms, in the gentle smoothness of movements. big breasts- it's good and beautiful, it fascinates any man, and a deep neckline gives food for fantasies and imagination. All visual pleasures are very important to me and the fact that I am very pleased to look at my wife and her breasts, which is visible even when the wife is wearing a kimono during karate training. This is wonderful!

Silicone

ALEXANDER, 29: The girl's chest is beautiful. And with age and childbirth, a lottery begins, in which someone is lucky, but someone is not. I, like any man, love beautiful forms. Therefore, when I see elastic breasts corrected with silicone, I am delighted. Girls, if you like your bust - do not touch it, but if it makes you complex - feel free to take your man in an armful and to the doctor! You build up nails and dye your hair, and no one says that this is wrong, because it is unnatural!
