Why do fake boobs look smaller than they measure?

I have heard several girls saying that this is the case, but I can't understand why - anyone?

Ah the age old BA question... :lol: I remember a good answer this woman wrote once, gonna dig it out

Yeah, it was great, where was it nads?

xx

i like to kno the answer to that to

To be perfectly honest hun I don't understand either. I kind of figure if a girl with "real" boobies fits a size 36dd and a girl with "enhanced" boobies fits a 36dd, surely they must look the same-ish.

I hope someone can come along and enlighten us! Odds on it'll be nads!

I was told it is because they are wider than natural breasts so you need the wire of a bigger bra to go around the bottom of your boob. Cant remember where i read that lol x

Ive heard that fake look about 2 sizes smaller than the bra size you wear.Id like to know why as its so confusing when deciding on implant sizes!

Add me to the list of 'like to know' ladies. ?

me 2 :)

Yeah me too, i want to be a good DD at least but not if i only look a C, maybe i'll have to tell my PS i want to be an F to be on the safe side!! x

Yes I'd like to know too. As if it wasn't all confusing enough!

I think its cos fake boobs are wider x

I can't find that post!
I dont think theres one reason but like Emrussell said implants usually are wider so you have to get a bigger cup size to accomodate and also they can stick out more therefore you have to buy a bigger size to fit around.
My take on it is implants are more defined and in shape, giving the appearance of smaller/perter boobs, natural ones seem to 'flop' a bit more and spread out when coming out of a bra so therefore look bigger whereas implants usually look somewhat molded in shape. Therefore real breasts are easier to move around and push up and stuff whereas implants are more compact and have an exact shape to them so you can't 're-distribute' the fill of the implant like you can with real breast tissue...if that makes any sense!!
But then maybe they dont look smaller, maybe we just get used to them quickly, plus alot of girls with BAs have smaller band sizes and a 32 - D cup isnt actually that big when you look at it.

That sounds about right x

great post nads!
