Yeah this is probably funny...is to me a lil..but it's still a serious question however.

How much water does it take to equal 1 breast cup size? And how do you factor in cup sizes like DD, etc?

Ahh c'mon now..SOMEONE out there has to know this ...=)

Anyone? =)
 
Just from what I know about measuring for bra size, I would say that to go up a cup you would need to add two inches to the, um, circumferance of the breast. So, say you were making water balloon boobs, you would need to be able to spread it across the surface of your breast and add a total of two inches. Does that make sense? Mind you I have no clue what I am talking about and that is just a guess.
 
Well, since my gf just got implants a week ago, this subject is fresh on my mind. From the web site health.howstuffworks.com:

"The size of breast implants is measured in cubic centimeters (ccs), and they increase the size of a woman's breasts one cup size every 175 to 200 ccs."

1 cubic centimeters = 0.0338140226 US fluid ounces

You can do the math...

So breasts have been reduced from being imperial to metric?

I'm not sure that this is fully accurate. You might have luck searching breast reduction sites, as they always weigh the amount of fat tissue removed.
 
A little more research indicates:

"Results of the study showed that an average of 189cc of saline was needed to change one bra cup size. Increasing an A cup to a C cup required a total of 391cc, or 196cc per cup. Moving from a B cup to a D cup required a total of 448cc, or 224cc per cup. The largest change, an A cup increasing to a D, cup required 437cc, or 145cc per cup."

From http://www.breastimplants4you.com/breast_implant_faq.htm#11.

I guess it depends on the original size of the person's breasts. I say "person" because not all breast implants are done on biological women. Lets not forget this is a glb"T" forum.

I'm not sure this is fully correct either.. My cousins both have implants and they were a small A cup before and now a full C. They both got around 450cc to make an A to a C cup.

So yes, I suppose it would vary from person to person.
