Perfect breasts are the envy of men and women world wide.

What defines perfect breasts? According to Mr Patrick Mallucci, one of the founding surgeons of Mybreast.org, the model breasts apparently have nipples that point slightly skywards, and an upper half just a bit smaller than the bottom half.

He feels that the key aesthetic elements are nipple position and the proportion between the upper and lower halves of the breasts. The ideal is a 45 to 55 per cent proportion; that is the nipple sits not at the half-way mark down the breast, but at about 45 per cent from the top.

Mr Mallucci spent many hours pouring over photos of topless models in magazines and tabloid newspapers to work out the various proportions and to come up with his theory. Ofcourse he has done a good job in promoting himself and his craft of creating perfect breasts with plastic surgery. Whilst this is an option it is not the only way to look good.

So now that you know what the perfect breasts should look like (according to Mr malucci) let’s have a look at the reality of it all. In general breasts are shaped either like apples, pears, melons, brinjals or spaniels ears.

Which every way you go very few women have naturally perfect breasts but, if you wear the right underwear, you will not only correct posture problems but improve your silhouette tremendously.

You will find that, although most men scour the Men's magazines such as Playboy and FHM and fantasize about women with perfect breasts and a slim figure, most are quite happy with their wife’s or partner’s breasts. After all most men are acutely aware and accepting of their own shortcomings, and women should become as accepting of their own bodies.

Remember that most women have borne and fed infants and, as long as you still look feminine, your man will see you for who you are once he has finished drooling over the perfect breasts in the magazine.

Remember ladies that it is unlikely that any bra will be the perfect fit, so let’s give you some tips on how to get your breasts looking the best that you can without surgery.

•The most important tip is to have yourself professionally measured before purchasing a new bra.

•An alternative is to watch the video below and get a friend to measure you taking care to;

Wear a good bra while measuring

Take a measurement from the middle of the throat to the point of the nipples

If this measurement is more than 10.25inches you will need to pull the straps up before you measure

Between 8.25inches and 10.25inches is good

Measure around the body directly under the bust (this provides the band size).

If it is an even number add 4inches

If it is an odd number add 5inches

Measure around the fullest part of the bust (this provides the cup size)

Subtract the band measurement (with either 4 or 5 added) from the cup measurement and look at the table below for the right cup.

AA=Minus 1

A=0

B=1

C=2

D=3

DD=4

E=5

F=6

How to put your new bra on

•Always look at yourself with your arms down

•Remember that the aim is to get your breasts pointing forward and looking perky, with no bulges in the back or under the arms.

•Follow these simple rules;

Fasten bra at the back.

Lean forward and pull bra up.

Pull straps into position and tighten.

Put your hand in the cups and bring the boobs up into the cups.

Make sure the nipple is in the middle of the cup.

Lean forward again and hold the wire at the bottom.

Jiggle a bit until comfortable and then ease any creases.
