1. Women Are Buying Bigger Bras
The average woman says she now wears a 34DD-sized bra, according to data from lingerie retailer Intimacy. That's up from a 34B 20 years ago! (To put that into perspective, that's the same band measurement, but about three inches bigger around the fullest part of the chest.
2. ...But You're Still Probably Wearing the Wrong Size
About 85 percent of women are, according to Intimacy data. So grab some measuring tape to figure out your correct size, or get a bra fitting with an expert.
3. Most Women Aren't Happy with Their Breasts
Seventy percent are down on their girls, according to research published in the International Journal of Sexual Health. Of course, most men had no complaints. Play up your décolletage so you feel amazing about it.

4. Breast Action Turns You On
Eighty-two percent of women say it gets them aroused (or more aroused than when the girls don't get any action), according to a 2006 study.
5. It's Normal for Them to Hurt While Exercising
In fact, almost one in three marathon runners experiences breast pain, according to a recent study out of the United Kingdom.
6. After All, Breasts Can Move A Lot
So get this: When you run, the twins do, too—in a sort of figure-eight shape. And they can travel up to eight inches, according to research out of the U.K. All the more reason to wear a supportive sports bra!

7. They Can Also Be Crazy-Large
The current Guinness World Record for "largest natural breasts" was awarded in 1999 to a woman whose chest measured 70 inches around its fullest part. That's 5.83 feet!
8. The Twins Aren't Always Identical
In fact, one breast is usually about a fifth of a cup size larger than the other, on average, according to the book Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History by Florence Williams.
9. Breast Augmentation Is (Still) in High Demand
It was the top cosmetic surgical procedure in 2012, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. About 286,000 patients had their breasts done last year—although that's down seven percent from 2011.

Fwd: A History of Lingerie Fashion
A History of Lingerie Fashion
Underwear worn on stage circa 1900. In Visions d'art plastique (Néret, Gilles. 1000 Dessous, A History of Lingerie, 2010.)
The thing that we must always remind ourselves, is that (western) culture and fashion is always steadily changing and sometimes big seismic changes happen suddenly. Often it is only when we look back that we identify iconic images and fashion that seem to define an entire era.
Lingerie is just a small part of fashion, which is itself just one part of the culture of any given time. It's like looking through a small window and seeing little hints of what everyone wore at the time. People were just as varied then as they are today, with very conservative men and women as well as counter-cultural rebels throughout society. 1000 Dessous is really great at illustrating the variety of lingerie styles from each era.
One more thing to note before we get to lingerie styles: sometimes we get caught up thinking that lingerie is de-facto meant to be erotic, but this is not necessarily true. Lingerie has often been designed for the practical as well as erotic. One of the truly interesting things about lingerie is how a simple functional garment becomes provocative simply by way of concealment and reveal. It's a little bit of magic.

1920s
Let's start our tour with the 1920s. As early as the late 19th century, clothing designers began to develop showy undergarments as alternatives to highly restrictive corsets of that era. But it took a few decades before a generation of young girls changed the style and functionality of foundation garments for good. Of course the older conservative ladies of the day were appalled by their lack of propriety, but that is a familiar story. The lingerie of the 1920s was, in a word, "liberating". A typical look for this era was a simple silk garter belt, thick, showy garters, silk stockings, French knickers and a loose fitting gown like a chemise. Women wore lingerie like this well into the 1930s with a myriad of choices in design. It is because the style of lingerie changed so drastically during the early 20s that the look lasted so long. It would take a world war and new materials as well as a new generation of women to again move lingerie fashion along.

1940s
It's funny how fashion is in some sense recycled from previous eras. Good designers and trendy people constantly look back and recognize great ideas when they see them. Creative people, designers and visual artists throughout every era are compelled to look back, reinvent and even resurrected whole ideas. The 1940s demonstrates this.

1950s
The lingerie styles of the 1950s were mostly a continuation from the 1940s with simple garters, nylons and both longline and bullet bras. A newer foundation garment began to replace the corsolette: the girdle. It's a funny little name for a garment that has simply disappeared from the modern wardrobe. The girdle satisfied the renewed desire for less restrictive control around the waist. The old corset and corsolette days were now coming to an end.
1960s and 1970s
As we all know, there was another seismic shift in both fashion and culture during the 1960s. Lingerie of course reflected this and changed along with women. New fabrics such as lycra changed the way hosiery was constructed and fastened. Stockings no longer needed garters as thigh highs could stay up all on their own, and pantyhose and tights replaced even these. Over the course of 20 years, girdles all but disappeared and lingerie became much of what we see today. The typical lingerie outfit from the 1960s might be a simple bra and panty paired with a panty-girdle (a control-top panty) and thigh highs. Typical lingerie from the late 1960s into the 1970s became simply a bra and panty set. It was here, during the 1970s, that lingerie as bedroom attire and "underwear" became mostly distinct aspects of a woman's wardrobe.
