Filipino women are known for beauty and brains. Bra size? Not exactly.
A survey shows that women from the Philippines have the smallest mean breast size out of 108 countries included in a study for the clothing and entertainment industries.
Published in the Journal of Female Health Sciences, the study measured the natural breast size of about 340,000 women, between the ages of 28 and 30-years-old, from around the world.
The analysis revealed that there is a considerable variation in the breast tissue volume of women, depending on their country of birth.
You may think of a Filipino celebrity or two who may defy statistics, but generally speaking, Pinays have a natural cup size of “A” or even smaller.
“Women born in the U.S.A have by far larger breasts than women in any other country, while women born in Africa and Asia, particularly in the East Asian countries, have the smallest breast volumes” the report said.
