10 Things You Probably Didn't Know about Your Boobs.
Boobs are great! They are definitely one of my fave assets on myself and I think breast just compliment women in general. They’re so sexy yet so serious when you think about it. We have to take care of our ladies… ladies! lol But yes, I randomly stumbled upon these random facts on boobs and I wanted to share with you.
Your boobs can cause an orgasm.
Nipple stimulation goes to the same part of the brain as the clitoris and vagina, which is why some women can orgasm from nipple stimulation alone. It may be hard to achieve but with a little faith & nipples it can be done! lol
Your boobs are not always the same size.
Yup, you probably already knew this but breast usually arn’t the same size. I know mine arn’t. lol Studies show the left breast is going to be larger. 65% of women report a smaller right breast. All in all, do not feel alone, we share this.
Men can breastfeed!
I did a double take when I read this one! Yes, men can breastfeed. Google it! “They have the proper equipment and just need some consistent stimulation (suckling), in the range of a few weeks, to get the milk flowing,” says Jennie Ann Freiman, MD. Crazy right!
Most women aren’t sized correctly for bras.
This is a total pet peeve of mine! I fluctuate in weight so I feel like I’m always getting sized and I never know my exact bra size. It’s also frustrating that some places have custom sizing… cough cough…. Victoria secrets! ( lol as I wear one now) I love them but I most definitely don’t wear this size at other retailers. Studies show 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size, due to sticking with the same fitting measurements for too long, or never being sized correctly from the beginning. Be sure to get fitted this year! It’s a start to a new decade and your bras should fit correctly… Your boobs deserve it! I recommend getting fitted at Nordstrom.
Your breasts may change a lot throughout your life.
I mean I feel like we all know this! Period boobs are the best! lol This too is to just a reminder that all women go through different stages in life when it comes to your boobs.
There are four types of nipples.
Normal, which protrude a few millimeters from the areola.
Flat, which are basically what they sound like. lol
Puffy, which are the same as flat but the areola is raised.
Inverted, which look a lot like dimples.
Men have nipples because all embryos initially have female parts.
This was definitely new to me. Supposedly, testosterone doesn’t take hold until six weeks into prenatal development, so the nipple remains!
Scientists aren’t really sure why even have breasts.
Humans are the only animals with sizable chests, and scientists are very nonchalant about figuring out why, since we only actually need them for food for only part of our lives.
Breastfeeding is actually really hard.
You’re not always going to flow like a fountain, sometimes it can take some practice. It can absolutely be worth it, but talk to a doctor or doula if you feel like you're having a lot of trouble.
Bras were born in November.
Yup, your bra is a scorpio baby. Bras were introduced to the world on November 3, 1914.
All in all, this post is to remind you that your boobs are great no matter the changes they go through. We are in this thing together! Also, Breast health is a must. be sure you are wearing the correct size bra and do you monthly breast examines!
