The mammary gland, otherwise known as the breast,  is one of the most precious organs in a woman’s body system, the ‘Everyday Health’ experts have said.

But the experts have revealed that there is more to this organ than we know today.

According to them, apart from breastfeeding, and enhancing intercourse pleasure, the mammary gland is endowed with many facts that every man should know.

There is no need for scientific proof that all men like women’s breasts. Although nature is what backed up this scenario, there are lots of things many men do not know about a woman’s mammary gland. The experts revealed certain amazing facts to know about the mammary gland as follows:

1. A woman’s breasts move-in figure 8 during exercise.

For large-breasted women, exercise (especially running) can pose a problem. According to “Health line”, unsupported breasts move up and down 4 to 15 inches in a figure-eight pattern when a woman is exercising. Ligaments can get damaged because of this.

2. Breasts can be different shapes

Some breasts sit high on the chest while others hang low, and some have pointy nipples while other nipples are smoother and less prominent. As more people are looking at social media or looking at pornography, they may get an idea of what breasts are ‘supposed to look like. We need to throw that idea out the window because there is no right size or shape.

3. A woman’s breasts can weigh about as much as three bricks

Imagine carrying three bricks around all day every day and then sleeping with them on your chest. The average bra can support breasts that weigh between 0.23 kilograms (half a pound) and 9 kilograms (20 pounds), about the weight of three bricks. That’s heavy stuff.

4. A woman’s breast has no muscle

According to “Everyday Health”, Breasts contain no muscle tissue, so no exercise can change their shape. The only way to make breasts look firmer or perkier is to exercise the pectoral muscles underneath the breast tissue.
