I find C cup hard to believe as the average with how many women of oriental decent there are--I'm looking at you China with your 1/3 of the world population. Asian women can have big boobs, but certainly not many of them. Most have A to B cups. But you have to look at the sizing for bras as well in that different countries have different sizes. Japan for example--its C is more like a B. Western and Eastern sizings are too different so unless this statistic took that into account, I don't believe it.

There are also women that wear different sizes. I know of someone who wears both a 34A and a 32B and say they both fit her fine.

I think the average is a B. C cups follow very very closely behind. I find C cup being a true average easier to believe in western culture but that's only because of our diets (though I still think B to be average here). There's a lot of people that if they were a healthy weight, their boobs would be smaller. So, there's that to take into account as well in that extra adipose tissue affects natural boob size.


I was under the impression that the C average stat only applied to the US. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, it's not unusual for someone to fit both a 34A and a 32B. Those are sister sizes, so to speak. Cup size not only increases with letter, but with band size as well. So a 34A will have a larger cup than a 32A, even though they're both A cups. So a 34A, 32B, 30C, 28D, etc, will all have comparable cup sizes, although the band changes.

I, like the other Gaian above, also have a problem with you saying that a person of "healthy weight" would have a lower cup size. That's pretty ridiculous if you ask me, and was a completely unnecessary comment to make. Bodies differ, and what is a healthy weight for one person may be incredibly unhealthy for another person. This comment seemed like thinly veiled fat shaming to me, and I really don't understand how your explanation of genetics in your follow up comment clears this up.


The one with the average (I'll use this word as to not set off the masses--but I truly meant healthy BMI) weight is MORE LIKELY to have their average, genetic cup size. Weight has some control over breast size. It usually goes genetics and then weight. That's what I was trying to explain with the two women with the same stats.

In both, both women gained weight. One stayed the same cup size, the other increased a whole cup size. I mentioned gain weight. You don't really know how much these women in my example weight. They could be within average BMI range still for all we know, but the difference between their breast growth is related to both genetics and body fat percentage. You can't deny that body fat percentage has some correlation with breast growth, but know that genetics truimphs this for some people.

I'm sorry if the fact above upsets people, but breasts consist of some fat. Where fat goes is dependent on genetics. HOWEVER, higher body fat percentages will upset the numbers in statistics because some women store fat some parts of the body and not their breasts, some women store a good amount in their breasts. It does mess with the numbers.

I understand genetics dictate breast size, and that weight gain or loss can sometimes change breast size. My problem was not with that claim.

My problem was with saying that someone with a healthy weight would have a smaller cup size. It infers that those who are larger are unhealthy, and that's ridiculous.

Not to mention that BMI is generally full of it, and not a useful standard by any means.

I'm afraid that came out of your mouth, not mine. Size of breasts do not indicate health in the least.

As I've said, it comes down to genetics and where a woman stores fat. If a woman has the genetics to store a good amount of fat in her breasts, then if she is on the larger end of the scale, they will be considerably larger. If she is thin, her breasts would still be ample, but not as big as on the larger end. If a woman doesn't have the genetics, then it won't really make much of a difference to breast size if the woman were in the larger or smaller end of the scale. She'll be whatever cup size (whether small or large), and what fat she ever accumulates will go to other places. Only a negligent amount would go to breasts. It is the person with the former genetics that I am talking about that would throw off numbers and they are no less healthy than the latter.

BMI isn't very useful, but it is handy to use in this scenario because when talking about breast size, it isn't exacting. There are people that go under or over BMI that are healthy. It's only there to give a good feel of what a person's weight should be around. And people need not look further into it as there are exceptions concerning genetics, health conditions, and muscle to fat ratio.

Edit: I have changed my original post to say "average" rather than "healthy" as to not upset anyone else.
