More Women Flaunt the A-Cup

More and more embracing their smaller assets

(Newser) – When it comes to breasts, bigger isn’t always better. The assumption that A-cup women are constantly looking for push-up bras to enhance their assets is no longer unequivocally true, and a number of boutiques and online stores are now specializing in smaller size—but still sexy—bras. In the past, it wasn’t uncommon for smaller-chested women to be directed to the children’s section for a training bra, the New York Times reports. Now, they have a wide selection of come-hither styles, and they’re embracing it.

Even as breast sizes have ballooned in recent years, most smaller-breasted customers “don’t want to supersize themselves,” says one boutique owner. The website of another specialty line points out the benefits of having smaller breasts: no pain from running, for one, and “best of all, sagging is minimal compared to larger women.” Says another website owner, “We are supplying sexy, chic lingerie for grown-up women, not teenagers, who are proud of what they have and not worried about trying to look bigger.”

A wise man once said Big and small boobs are like coke and pepsi Yeah, we may express a preference for coke but if all the place has is pepsi, pepsi is good too

Isn't this like fat acceptance? Most of these girls still want larger tits, so they're just telling themselves what they have is okay. Which it is... but I don't think many of them actually believe it.
