oh my yes it does.
this gets my vote!”

“One side effect of the obesity epidemic in America is rarely noted: Women's chests are expanding nearly as fast as their bellies. Poor eating habits, as well as breast implants and the estrogens in birth-control pills, have led to an increase in the past 15 years of more than one bra size for the average American woman—from a 34B to a 36C. For many women, this has been a burdensome trend. A pair of D-cup breasts weighs between 15 and 23 pounds—the equivalent of carrying around two small turkeys. The larger the breasts, the more they move and the greater the discomfort.

As breasts have grown, so have the demands of customers, the scientific sophistication of bra design, and the competition among bra manufacturers. "Women like their bras to be sexy and sensual and comfy and supportive," McGhee says. "And to get all that is rare." Yet after nearly a century of experimentation, the perfect bra may well be in sight.



Bra designers begin with a significant handicap: The structure of breasts is still something of a mystery. Evolutionary biologists aren't sure why breasts evolved as they did—chimpanzees and other mammals develop them only when lactating—and no one knows what keeps them from sagging. An individual breast is made up of between 15 and 20 sections, known as lobes. These are composed of smaller lobules that end in bulbs that produce milk and are interconnected by a network of ducts. But breasts contain no muscles at all, and the bulbs and ducts are essentially the same in all women. Size is mainly determined by how much fat the breasts contain. Most anatomists believe the breasts' primary means of support are the Cooper's ligaments interlaced among the lobules. But others give the skin more credit.



To best support breasts, a designer has to understand how they move. To that end, McGhee's team in Australia, headed by biomechanist Julie Steele, tags women with light-emitting diodes and asks them to run on treadmills. (The women run with and without bras, so the laboratory doors are bolted to prevent uninvited people from bursting in.) Computer systems then track the breasts' motions in three dimensions by following the moving lights. "We can actually work out exactly where they're going, how they're moving, and how this movement is affected by bras," Steele says. Breasts move in a sinusoidal pattern, Steele has found, and they move a lot. Small breasts can move more than three inches vertically during a jog, and large breasts sometimes leave their bras entirely. "We have videos of women who, particularly if the cup is too low, spill all over the top," Steele says.

In some cases, breasts can slap against the chest with enough force to break the clavicle.

Pffft! Bring 'em on!!”

“There was that dancer that almost smothered a guy to death with hers.”

“That guy was you huh Bit?”

“My cousin once got a bloodied nose from a dancer's pair.”

“He grabbed them and got punched in the face?

Nope.....picture a speed bag in a boxing gym....no wait, picture TWO of them....now picture your head in between.”

“What did she have armor on them or something?”

“No, just a lot of momentum.”

“"A pair of D-cup breasts weighs between 15 and 23 pounds—the equivalent of carrying around two small turkeys."

gobble gobble?

Add "Jog Bra Research" to the list of cool jobs to have.”

“Hey, I bet maple knows all about that.”

“Breasts move in a sinusoidal pattern.

That's hot.”

“I think I need to verify this.

Can't wait till I get home.”

“"tags women with light-emitting diodes and asks them to run on treadmills."

I want that job (the monitoring gig, not the running part...my boobs aren't big enough, and too hairy).”

“ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (AP) -- A woman watching New Year's Eve fireworks from a picnic table found out that her bra can do more than lift and support: It also slowed a falling bullet.

The .45-caliber bullet struck Debbie Bingham, 46, after someone fired a gun into the air about 20 minutes before midnight. She still needed stitches, but the wound might have been much worse except for the bra strap, police spokesman George Kajtsa said.

Bingham, who was in town from Atlanta, Georgia, said she is thankful for the undergarment, which she said was "very cheap." (Watch how the 'cheap bra' stopped a bullet )

"I'd love to have a couple more of those bras," she said.

Bingham said she was listening to music and enjoying the fireworks with her daughter and son when she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.

Then Solanda Bingham, 30, noticed blood seeping through her mother's white shirt, and they found the bullet lodged halfway into the gold-colored bra. The other half was barely breaking the skin, Bingham told WTSP-TV.

Kajtsa described the wound as a "big scratch with bruising."

St. Petersburg police were searching for the shooter to determine if the shooting was intentional, Kajtsa said.”

“gonna have to buy me a gold-colored bra now...”

“no pictures?”

“I always had trouble getting through those bras, too.”
