Defining Breast Size: What’s Considered Small or Large?
There is no universal medical consensus on what constitutes “small” or “large” breasts. However, some general frameworks exist. Breast size is commonly described by bra sizing, which typically includes a band measurement (e.g., 85 cm or 34 inches) and a cup size (A, B, C, etc.). While subjective, sizes under 85 cm in band measurement with smaller cup sizes (such as A or B) may be categorized as small, and sizes over 100 cm with larger cups (such as D or above) may be seen as large in many cultures.
