Land of the free and home of the busty! American women revealed as having the biggest natural breasts in the world, while Brits come in fifth and Filipinos are last
- Researches measured breasts of women born in 108 countries — excluding those who’d had surgery, were pregnant, or were breastfeeding
- Caucasian Americans have, on average, the biggest breasts, followed by Canadians and non-Caucasian Americans
- Women in Europe tend to have bigger breasts, while women in Africa and Asia (particularly Southeast Asia) have smaller ones
In a not-entirely-surprising bit of news, American women have been found to have the biggest breasts in the world.
A group of researchers conducted a study — for science — to compare the average natural breast volume of women born in 108 countries. Excluding women who’d had surgery, were pregnant, were breastfeeding, or had been pregnant within the past 12 months, the scientists found that those born in the US has significantly more ample assets.
In the study published in The Journal of Female Health Sciences, the researchers broke down countries from the bustiest to the most flat-chested, analyzing the mean volume and cup size of each nation.
Nearly 400,000 women around the world were measured for the study, which used EU bra sizing for consistency. While all of the measurements used measuring tape, some also employed ‘visual examination’ and 3D scanning.
Interestingly, the study actually listed averages for Caucasian Americans and non-Caucasian Americas, finding that Caucasian Americans had the highest breast volume of all, with a volume of 1,668ml and a cup size higher than an F (or, in US sizing, larger than a D).
Non-Caucasian Americans were still found to be quite busty, with an average volume of 1,089ml and an E cup (or a C cup in US sizing.)
Again, these measurements exclude women with breast implants, meaning the difference in size is due to natural factors, like hormones in meat (though the study didn’t examine contributing factors).
The researchers did find, however, that obesity played little part in the relative size of breasts — the average breast volume was found to be large regardless of body weight, with even athletic and slim women being large-breasted.
Canadian women followed Caucasian Americans — and the average of all Americans — with an average cup size of E.
Ireland came in third, Poland in fourth, and the United Kingdom in fifth, with an average D cup (a B in US sizing) and volume of 879ml.
While there are certainly some outliers, most countries’ average breast size seems to correspond with the region of the world they’re in.
The biggest breasts are mostly in North America (though Mexico’s average cup size is a B) and Europe, with The Netherlands and Iceland also placing in the top ten.
Most African countries fall into the bottom half of the graph, while Asian countries — particularly those in Southeast Asia — tend to be home to women with the smallest breasts.
On average, the smallest breasts in the world were measured in the Philippines, followed by Malaysia, Bangladesh, Samoa, and the Soloman Islands.
In addition to ranking countries, the researchers also found that most women are wearing the wrong bra size — with more women believing their cup size to be larger than it is.
So the figures above are for NATURAL BREASTS. Which countries prefer implants? Video below:
