The most motion is generated on the vertical axis.

Measurements compiled by Lawson and her colleagues show that a D-cup in a low-support bra can travel as much as 35 inches (89cm) up and down (35 inches!) during exercise, while a B-cup in a high-support bra barely moves an inch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Again, something that a motivated amateur scientist might have also observed.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/randomwebcrap.wordpress.com\/2008\/07\/14\/as-if-breasts-werent-already-awesome\/\">O, Teh Interwebz!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bionic bra: Victoria&#8217;s circuit An attempt to harness, as it were, the kinetic energy stored in the ones that bounce.
