Curious breasts study seeks volunteers for brassiere research

A study on the science of saggy breasts – aimed at establishing why "the design of a bra is not suitable for all" – is appealing to volunteers.

Researchers at the University of Portsmouth will analyze, using MRI scans, whether the proportion of adipose and glandular tissue has an effect on laziness.

Participants will receive £ 30 and will be invited to run on a treadmill while sensors monitor the movement of their breasts.

Scientists hope their findings will be used to develop new models of bras.

The study leaders, who were standing at the NHS St Mary's treatment center in the city, said the work would provide new information on variations in women's breasts.

Dr. Tim Blackmore, Senior Research Associate, said, "This research will be the first time scientists have evidence to determine if breast density affects their movement.

"The results will allow us to better understand the requirements of different women's breasts and, for example, why a single bra will not work for all women.

The University Breast Health University Research Group is working with lingerie manufacturers, the military, the NHS and other organizations to develop new models of bras.

Penny Daniels, director of the treatment center hospital, said, "This is a commendable project because it not only allows greater comfort for women all over the world at the end of a very long day of work, but it can also reveal valuable information about women. health and wellbeing."
