When talking about bust size, we usually describe it based on bra size. Determining the average breast size is not easy as it can vary based on individual factors. The following article will help us learn more about how to measure bust, what factors affect bust size.

But this is not easy at all because it is difficult to understand the exact size of the bra. In fact, about 80% of people wear the wrong bra size. Most don't realize it for a variety of reasons such as bra sizes are not measured correctly, each manufacturer may use different measurement methods,...
Bust size may also vary size over time. So if you've been wearing a 38C bra for a while, or are switching brands, you should consider considering a size change.

To determine your bra size, you will need three different measurements to determine your overall size, these include bust size, length around your torso (straps), and total breast volume ( chest cup).
Bust size can be measured by wrapping the headband around the body where the bust is most stretched, usually over the nipple while wearing a bra.
Your strap size is the length around your torso, you can measure this by wrapping the headband around your body just below the bust.
You can measure your cup size by calculating the difference between your bust size and your strap size.

The exact size of the first bust depends on the individual's own perception. The most important thing to consider is whether you are comfortable with the size of your breasts. Several researchers have looked at opinions on what is considered the ideal breast size.
A survey of more than 2,000 people found that about 60% of men and 54% of women found medium-sized breasts to be the most attractive and almost 70% of respondents said they were satisfied with their breast size of your life partner. However, it doesn't matter how other people feel. Your personal comfort and confidence is of the utmost importance.

Genetics plays the biggest role in determining the size and shape of breasts. In addition, other factors include:
Weight. Fat plays a large part in breast tissue and density, so weight makes a difference in breast size.
Do exercise. Chest exercises like push-ups and chair presses can build the muscles behind the chest tissue. That doesn't really change the size of your breasts, but it can make them look fuller.
Lactation and pregnancy. Hormonal changes can cause breasts to swell during pregnancy, and they can even get bigger if you're breastfeeding.

As the body undergoes natural changes, the breasts will also change. You may notice fluctuations in breast size throughout the month. This usually has something to do with your menstrual cycle. For example, many people find their breasts swell in the days leading up to their period. You may also discover your breasts take on a new size or shape after pregnancy or breastfeeding. Although in some people breast size will return to pre-pregnancy size, it is common to experience lasting changes.
Breasts are partly composed of fatty tissue. Therefore, any increase or decrease in body weight can affect breast size. Having more body fat can make breasts bigger, while less fat can mean smaller breasts. Breast tissue also tends to sag over time, so you may notice the overall size and shape of your breasts change as you age.

Scientists also did not find a firm link between breast size and breast cancer.
