A bra manufacturer by the name of Triumph came up with this research idea, regardless, you just have to love science!!! And not only does this report show that British Women have the biggest in Europe, but in Great Britain (another reason to call Britain Great!) the Women in the North lands have the Biggest in Britain. I can only hope they are still comfortable for the owners.
Mr. Triumph I presume?
BRIT GIRLS' BOOBS ARE THE BIGGEST IN EUROPE
The Sun, Friday Oct. 24th, 2008 thesun.co.uk
BRITISH women have the biggest breasts in Europe, a survey revealed yesterday.
The poll for bra maker Triumph found that only in this country did more than half the women need a D cup or larger.
Percentage of women wearing cup size: D C B A UK 57 18 19 6 |
Smallest were the Italians where 68 per cent had a size B.
The Swedes and the Swiss had the largest number of A cup sizes at 14 per cent
Breasts Are Bigger up North

A recent UK poll of women’s lingerie habits by soseamless.com, an online retailer specialising in seamless lingerie, tells us that women in the North of England have the biggest breasts, with 69% sporting a C-cup or above, compared to 65% of women in the South and 58% of women in Scotland, who have an average bra size of 36B compared to the national average of 36C.
(PRWEB) November 13, 2005 -- A recent UK poll of women’s lingerie habits by soseamless.com, an online retailer specialising in seamless lingerie, tells us that women in the North of England have the biggest breasts, with 69% sporting a C-cup or above, compared to 65% of women in the South and 58% of women in Scotland, who have an average bra size of 36B compared to the national average of 36C.
Women in the North are also the most frequent bra shoppers, buying a new bra twice as often as their southern counterparts, on average 3 – 4 times a year. Money doesn’t seem to be an issue either, with only 4% citing price as a key factor when buying a new bra, compared to 13% of women in the South and 9% of women in Scotland.
For the UK population as a whole, the primary purchase factor is comfort, with 95% of women stating that a comfortable bra is their main priority. Price is their second concern, followed by seamless / invisible under clothing, and finally fashion / brand.
The UK Poll of more than 1,000 women’s bra sizes and lingerie buying habits was conducted by YouGov on behalf of soseamless.com as part of their ongoing customer services programme. Soseamless.com wanted to determine what women look for in a new bra as this is critical in its decision process when adding to their collection.
“Women have always looked for comfort first and foremost when choosing every-day lingerie, but what we are seeing now is a definite trend towards seamless lingerie,” explains Laura Holt, Managing Director soseamless.com, “not only is seamless lingerie extremely comfortable, it also delivers the smooth and natural silhouette demanded by this seasons close fitting fashions, a fact that the style conscious woman clearly appreciates."
And just for those of us (the males reading this I am sure) who are clueless as to what the numbers and letters mean:
How to measure for a properly fitted bra.
Mike's Studio Tricks of the Bra http://www.glamography.com/edu/fitbra.htm
Measure around your rib cage, underneath your breasts, where the band of your bra sits. Make sure to pull the tape snug and keep it flat against your back. Add 5 to this number (if you end up with an odd number, round up to the closest even number). This number is your bra size. Example: 29 inches +5 = size 34.
Measure around the fullest part of your breast, again keeping the tape snug, but not tight, and parallel to the rib-cage line. If this measurement is an odd number, round up to the next even number. Example: 37 inches rounds up to 38.
To determine your cup size, subtract the first measurement from the second.
Example: 38 minus 34 = 4:
1-inch difference = A cup;
2-inch difference= B cup;
3-inch difference = C cup;
4-inch difference= D cup,
5-inch difference = DD cup.
6-inch difference = F cup.
7-inch difference = G cup.
8-inch difference = H cup.
So the examples result in a bra size of 34D, so this would be a good starting point to try to find the right bra for you.
If when you look at yourself in your bra you seem to "Flow" over the edges then get a cup size larger and Bra size smaller. The same is true if you don't fill the cup, reduce the cup size and go one bra size larger

I'm surprised you didn't change the blog page header to "Mumblings from a padded BRA..."
ReplyDeleteNOW THIS IS MY KINDA POST!!
ReplyDeleteI love them to so much I even got one to make a tattoo of me..now that is a honor.
ReplyDeletewow that was big
ReplyDeleteSorry Doc..its the beer
ReplyDeleteI'm not living in Great Britain for sure.LOL
ReplyDeletelol Pengy Im seeing a recurring theme here ..we have preoccupation with the gerber servers lmao..im there with yah
ReplyDeleteso what is she putting on the other one?
ReplyDeleteDr.O ?
ReplyDeleteYes?
ReplyDeleteumm you can put your pic on there to...these are two big Island volcanoes we both fit on her volcanic Island lair
ReplyDeletelol they seem to have taken to the southern way of things and the attention they receive here as folks havent seen boobies like this before
ReplyDeleteROFL!! I am honored, but spoken for. Think she needs a scottish touch on that one, perhaps you in your kilt. . .
ReplyDeleteOhhh Dr.O what you have started my friend
ReplyDeleteROFL!! I am honored, but spoken for. Think she needs a scottish touch on that one, perhaps you in your kilt. . .
ReplyDeleteLMAO! I wonder if I care who has the biggest...nope dont. LOL.
ReplyDeleteAh....there is so much to say....so I just won't
ReplyDeleteI do have one thing to add...if boobs are such BIG business, how come the sexiest store on Earth...Victoria's Secret, doesn't carry many D or DD bras?
ReplyDeleteHa ha John, you're back on your favorite topic again! So uplifting! Whenever I see my boobs I will think of you ROFL!
ReplyDeleteLOL Too funny. Men!! I have to agree with Marianne especially about Victoria Secret. That is why I don't shop there. LOL
ReplyDeleteVictoria secret???..they have no clue then...who needs all that clothing we need Midget ear muffs!!!
ReplyDeleteI am very flattered, but does your husband know?
ReplyDeleteummmmm.....I don't think so...I have it on good authority it is a much better effect in a low cut top with the too small cup......
ReplyDeleteYou let my boobies go south gator???.....they'll never be the same again....
ReplyDeletewas never a big boob man, but...*evil grin* could now very be one. lol
ReplyDeleteActually...Big or small they are all the same...Boobies, something all women are endowed with.
John you are a riot!! lol You are right about the US because us women who do wear D or higher have issues finding comfortable sexy bras....just saying =)
ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed that. I always kind of stereotyped the Italians as being the ones with the big boobies. Seamless lingerie is the only way to go. I love the styles and colors they have out now especially Victoria's Secret. They have plenty of D cups there but DD is hard to find. Great blog John. Bra sales are probably a recession proof industry. They make pretty good money. One of my neighbors does it and he owns a big home, his wife doesn't work and they have 5 kids. And think of all the fun that would be?
ReplyDeleteWho would have guessed that about Great Britain? Fun and educational at the same time. :)
ReplyDeleteAll I say is this!
ReplyDeleteHei John
ReplyDeleteCame for a looksie at yer PP pic and saw this one,
so i just say that i do fit bang-on on the national UK 'average' size!
lol
I think I really am TOO average... I had to buy a pair of rubber boots yesterday and had to take the bigger size because I couldn't find my size... the problem can be solved with 2 or 3 pairs of socks... but I also needed new bra's... luckily I could buy the 2 last ones... imagine me with socks in my bra!
ReplyDeleteWell up here in Canada it's cold so we need a different kind of bra ~~~ ~~~ ahhhh so nice and warm and well as the sign says "DON'T TOUCH MY PEEPS!!"
ReplyDeleteP.S. Dancing with beers is that "The Nanny" in your picture down there ? lollllllllll
