In fact, the Guinness World Record for largest natural breasts belongs to New York native Annie Hawkins-Turner. Her chest-over-nipple measurement is 70 inches!<\/p>\n<h2>2: Breasts Are Often Asymmetrical<\/h2>\n<p>It is totally normal for women to struggle with uneven breasts. The majority of women have one breast that is larger than the other by a fifth of a cup size. Breast asymmetry is one of the top reasons for breast augmentation.<\/p>\n<h2>3: Most Women Are Not Happy With Their Breasts<\/h2>\n<p>According to the <em>International Journal of Sexual Health<\/em>, about 70 percent of women are unhappy with their breasts because of issues with size (too small or too big) or drooping.<\/p>\n<h2>4: Women Are Going For Larger Cup Sizes<\/h2>\n<p>According to a recent survey by lingerie retailer, <em>Intimacy<\/em>, states that the most popular bra size is now a 34 double D. Just 20 years ago, the average was a 34B. While the popularity of breast augmentation procedures may factor into this change, it may also be due to\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>5: A Large Majority of Women Are Using the Wrong Sized Bras<\/h2>\n<p><em>Intimacy\u2019s<\/em> study also found that 85 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra. There are professional bra fittings and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jockey.com\/Home\/Bra\">at-home kits<\/a> to help women find their proper cup size.<\/p>\n<h2>6: The Bra Hasn\u2019t Been Around As Long As You May Think<\/h2>\n<p>The bras and sizing measurements we use today were not created until the 1920s by <em>Maidenform <\/em>founders, Ida and William Rosenthal. Before then, women were lacing up their corsets.<\/p>\n<h2>7: Your Breasts Move Around <em>A Lot<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>When you run, your breasts tend to move in a figure-eight and can travel up to eight inches in either direction. This is why it is always important to always wear proper support.<\/p>\n<h2>8: Breast Pain is an Issue for Many Women During Exercise<\/h2>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"#\"><em>British Journal of Sports Medicine<\/em><\/a>, nearly one in three marathon runners experience breast pain. The chances are, if your breasts are a little larger, then exercise like running can be a difficult task. Women who suffer from macromastia (the medical term for overly large breasts) struggle with exercise and are more at risk of obesity. Many women seek out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revalla.com\/breast-reduction.html\">breast reduction<\/a> to resolve these issues and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/Breast-reduction\/reviews\">patient satisfaction ratings<\/a> for the procedure are superb.<\/p>\n<h2>9: Breast Implants Have Been Tied to a Better Sex Life<\/h2>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/press\/breast-enhancements-better-sex-life-survey-shows\">survey by <em>RealSelf<\/em><\/a> last year, 61 percent of women said that they are now having more sex after receiving implants and 70 percent said that their sex-life satisfaction had improved.<\/p>\n<h2>10: Breast Augmentation is the Number 1 Cosmetic Surgery Procedure in the Country<\/h2>\n<p>In 2012, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.randcosmeticsurgery.com\/breast\/breast-augmentation\/\">breast augmentation<\/a> held the top spot with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surgery.org\/media\/news-releases\/cosmetic-procedures-increase-in-2012\">over 330,000 procedures performed<\/a>, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
