According to bra manufacturer Bendon, New Zealand women’s breasts are growing, if you look at the bras they are buying. D-cup and bigger brassieres accounted for half of Bendon bras sold last year.
It might sound like science fiction, or an Onion.com news report, but boobs are getting bigger in New Zealand. Bendon Bras told the media its bra sizes of D cup or larger account for half the bras they sold last year.
Bendon stats state that although the C cup is still the most popular bra cup size, sales of D to J cup sizes have increased by 53 per cent over the past three years. That increase compares to a 2 percent increase in the sales figures of AA to C-cupped bras.
Bendon spokesperson Carol Rashleigh said she’s seen a steady growth in breasts over more than two decades of helping women into fitting bras.
But while larger bra cup sizes account for increases sales at Bendon, no one at the company said they were able to reveal any physiological evidence relating to increasing breast sizes in New Zealand.
In other bosom-boom news, a Japanese researcher recently said cellphone ringtones of a baby crying can increase a woman’s breast size. He believes women will respond physically to a child wailing, turning maternal instincts into plumper boobs.
