You have them, and you probably see them everyday, but would you say you know all there is to know about your breasts.
Your boobs can cause an orgasm.
Nipple stimulation goes to the same part of the brain as that of the clitoris and vagina, which is why some women can orgasm from nipple stimulation alone. It’s sometimes hard work, but anything possible when you believe (and have nipples).
Your boobs are probably not the same size.
Statistically, the left breast is going to be larger – 65% of women report a smaller right breast. It’s possible that this is a result of enhanced immunosensitivity, but our biggest takeaway is that you’re not alone, even if one breast kind of is.
Most women aren’t sized correctly for bras.
A full 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size, most likely due to sticking with the same fitting measurements for too long, or just never being sized correctly in the first place. Spend some quality time with a professional and so you can get yourself your right size.
Your breasts are going to change a lot.
Your boobs can change a full size during a single menstrual cycle, so don’t be surprised that they go through a lot in your life. From childhood on, breasts will change size and shape periodically, so cherish what you have going on now before it morphs into something even better.
There are four types of nipples.
Normal, which protrude a few millimeters from the areola; flat, which are basically what they sound like; puffy, which are the same as flat but the areola is raised; and inverted, which are sort of like dimples.
Men have nipples because all embryos initially have female parts.
Testosterone doesn’t really take hold until six weeks into prenatal development, so the nipple remains, JUST IN CASE.
Your breasts are going to sag.
And there’s nothing you can do about it. EMBRACE YOUR BOOBS AS THEY AGE. Because technically you’re going to have to or it might get uncomfortable.
Breastfeeding is actually really hard.
Sometimes it can take some practice. It can absolutely be worth it, but talk to a doctor if you feel like you’re having a lot of trouble.
It could take a decade to develop
Breast development typically lasts 3 to 5 years, but it can take up to 10 if it feels like it.
Scientists actually aren’t really sure why we 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 part of our lives.
