Exercise unleashes a bounce bras can't handle
Breasts fly up and down a distance of up to 8 inches, study says

Whether women are said to be flat-chested or big-busted, ordinary bras fall short when it comes to supporting bouncing breasts, a new study claims.

And during exercise, women's breasts bounce more than previously estimated, moving a vertical distance of up to around eight inches compared with a past maximum measurement of six inches.

During walking exercise, the women's breasts moved relatively the same amount in all directions. But when participants sped up to a jog or run, their breasts moved proportionally more in some directions than others: More than 50 percent of the total movement was in the up-down direction, 22 percent side-to-side and 27 percent in-and-out.

The overall pattern of the movement resembled a figure-8.

Most interesting thing I learned all day: A pair of D-cup breasts weighs about 15 to 23 pounds.

DD-Damn!!! :bounce: :bounce:

1. And yet only one bowling ball weighs 20 pounds...

but is much harder and not as much fun to touch!

:hide:

11. Reminds me of a dirty joke....I won't tell...Yes I will!

What's the difference between a Bowling Ball and Ann Coulter?

2. Have you not witnessed the joy of Jogging Season?

In Spring, just when the weather is starting to get warm, but it isn't so hot that nobody but the most dedicated runner would run in it, there is a period when around college campuses many young women will go out for some jogging to get in shape. Often they have put on a little weight over the winter, which adds to the boobage, and they also frequently are not experienced joggers, which means that their strides are not so smooth (or better yet they wear inadequate support) and there is more bouncing because of that. For a few weeks you can see them jogging and enjoy all the lovely bouncing, and then either it gets warmer, they've reached their goal, or they don't feel like jogging, and they're gone for they year. Part of the beauty of the seasons, and a good time to visit your local park.

[HEyHEY]

4. You're writing your thesis on this. Am I correct?

[JVS]

8. No. But let it be known that this is a season of the year that I observe as strictly as Lent

My brother and I once spent a day driving around the city during jogging season. "ohhh, look at that!" "there's another there!"
It puts birdwatching to shame

5. That could be the hottest thing I've ever read on DU.

9. You can't live too far ffrom where I am. When the season starts, I'll let you know.

Then you can get yourself to a campus quickly.

If you feel like having an extra dose of fun in the fall, you can set up a cooler and a lawnchair to watch the freshwomen move into the dorms and get in fights with their parents.

3. This certainly bears extensive further study

damn, I studied the wrong field in college!

[Fire Walk With Me]

6. "Unleashes..."

I can't wait to hear Mr. Burns say, "Smithers, release the boobs!"

[liontamer]

7. 15 to 23 pounds????

Are you telling me that all this time I've been at my ideal weight except for my breasts? I'm going to go eat a lot of chocolate.

[cobalt1999]

10. Boats do a great job too...

:evilgrin:

[pitohui]

12. and what was your first clue, professor obvious?

i'm surprised a woman did this study, it seems like any woman who works out has already noticed this

but maybe she felt the world needed scientific validation?

[Skittles]

23. don't these gals wear sports bras?

isn't that what sports bras are for? So, didn't we already know standard bras do not suffice? What an idiotic study.

[pitohui]

30. well there was time before the sports bra was invented

then your only option was to wear two bras or jog with your hands sort of pushing in to kind of keep the girls in place

maybe younger women have never even once exercised without a sports bra, i dunno, didn't think of that

but still if the sex is sufficiently athletic...then you would have to figure it out unless the woman in question wears a sport bra to bed too (doubtful)

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. 8 inches?

Good lord! I have big ones, but I can't see them flopping 8 inches - especially in a bra.

[supernova]

15. I think mine do

although, jog bras are about the best I've come across for limiting excessive movement.

Guys, you might enjoy watching it, but it hurts. :hurts:

[Gormy Cuss]

14. You're male, right ?

I doubt many full chested women are surprised by that weight estimate. Bras weren't called "over the shoulder boulder holders" without reason ya know.

[snailly]

16. The other day my left boob gave me a black eye

while walking on my treadmill. I always hated that bitch.

Seriously, after you've had a baby it gets way worse. I've been trying to find a good sports bra to keep the girls corraled. It's just a LOT of weight on your chest. Still trying though I want to give up.

[fujiyama]

17. Who are the people that conduct these studies?

I want their job!

[KitchenWitch]

18. Now I know why my back and neck ache so much!

50+ pounds of boobs - who knew?

(38DD)

[LostInAnomie]

20. ...

[KitchenWitch]

39. LOL!

:spray:

19. If they didn't move, Baywatch would have never been popular

that show got so much use of the slow-motion run sequence.

[AwakeAtLast]

21. So you are saying if I was flat chested, I would be 20 lbs. lighter?

Hmmm, I've been following the wrong diet. Silly me! ;)

:bounce: :bounce:

:hi:

[pokerfan]

22. There's a sports bra company called ShockAbsorber

I had a g/f who swore by them. Their website has animations that demonstrate the product:

[supernova]

24. Oh, thank you

It says that Victoria's Secret sells them. I'll check in there next time I'm at the mall.

I have a chapmion sports bra but it's not really enough. I would feel better keeping them in place while I move around.

[pokerfan]

26. At your service

I've been fascinated by bras all of my life.

"They are more than an underwear to me. Two cups in the front, two loops in the back. How do they do it?"

[supernova]

28. Compared to corsets

they are something of an engineering feat. :-)

[pokerfan]

29. One flaw

seems to be that the back tends to rise up.

And seeing the marks my g/f's dress bras would leave on her shoulders.

[AngryAmish]

46. Your gf is not wearing a properly fitted bra

God forgive me for knowing this but I do -- I have several large chested gals in my life and I have seen the bra fitting episodes of Oprah....

Anyway, the main support should be the strap around the torso. If there are marks on the shoulders than there is not enough support from the bottom band.

Anyway, tell her to get professionally fitted. It makes a difference.

[JVS]

31. OMG you are the greatest!

:thumbsup:

[pokerfan]

32. I care! n/t

[JVS]

33. you are a great humanitarian!

25. no wonder I have back problems...

[idgiehkt]

27. this cracks me up

because I can see the scientist dudes trying to keep a furrowed brow and studious comportment while watching the boobies bouncing and taking their measurements

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[MilesColtrane]

34. Somewhere Rusty Warren is smiling. n/t

[NewWaveChick1981]

35. I could've told them that.

:P :rofl: Sports bras are a lifesaver (or boobsaver, as the case may be). :rofl:

[MissMillie]

36. most sports bras fall short too

I've only found one that keeps my girls in place. It's called Enell. It looks more like a vest than a bra. It's got about 10 hooks that work in the front instead of the back.

And yes, it's motionless. Hell, I can't even slouch in this thing.

But my DDs haven't given me a black eye yet... not while jogging, not while on the StairMaster, not at all.

BTW... they're EXPENSIVE, but if you don't put them in the dryer, they last a long time. I wear mine 2 to 3 times between washings, being sure to hose it down w/ Fabreeze on the days it doesn't get washed.

37. this thread is useless without pics!

40. Well, if you insist...

Not sure if smoking in the shower counts as "exercise."
Anyone care to guess the cup size?

[JVS]

41. Click on the link in post 22 and you'll see why this is the best thread ever

[Dr. Strange]

42. Agreed.

Best. Thread. EVER.

49. OMG!

um, i'll be back in 9-12 minutes... :hi:

38. i have very light boobs even if they are big.

45. See post #22 nt

[skygazer]

44. My brother used to plant himself in our yard in a lawn chair

Waiting for one of my friends to ride by on her horse. Her bra definitely did not contain her bounce and she tended to go by at a trot.

It was his favorite part of the day. :rofl:

[kay1864]

47. That post is worthless without a video link

:rofl:



(copycat of above post)


How old was your brother, and your friend?

[skygazer]

48. Teenagers

He was maybe 18, she was 15 or 16. Perfect age for it. :hi:

[kay1864]

50. Didn't she notice him sitting in the chair, drooling?

And did you razz him about it?
