Breasts In Brars

Boffins have put British women on red boob alert after announcing news of a shocking bra crisis! Women's  breasts   are not getting the support they need, according to a new study out  « yesterday. Dr Joanna  Scurr's research revealed that between 45% and 60% of women in Britain experience breast pain when exercising, regardless of their breast size.

An A-cup woman could be prevented from doing sport just as much as a woman with a double-F cup, the survey showed. Breasts also bounce more during exercise up to 5in (21cm) rather than the maximum 6in (16cm) bounce measured in past studies.

Bras are designed to stop breasts bouncing but Dr Scurr's research, at the University of Portsmouth, showed that breasts also move from side to side and in and out. She said ordinary bras are not designed to cope.

Dr Scurr also found that breasts    move    as    much during slow jogging as they do at sprint speed.

She said: "There really are women who want to do exercise but who don't have the bras to cope. "Breast size and pain caused by exercise can be a real barrier to women exercising."

Dr Scurr is working with bra manufacturers to design a bra that can lessen movement in all three dimensions.
