On Busty Boosters

In this current generation, women are made to feel small if they are...well...small breasted. There is an unrealistic expectation of wasp waists combined with melon assets. But that's not the point of this post. It is about the widespread scam of breast enhancing supplements.

I've been thinking about the matter a lot, and pondering the science in addition to personal reviews. The general consensus is that these things either work a "little bit" or not at all, but it seems that new (and veteran) fools will try the latest product anyway in the hope that this time it'll be different.

I especially liked one observation by a skeptic on the matter. She pointed out that menstrual cycles play a part and can color the observations of bust enhancer users. From my perspective, the matter of bust size is highly salient amongst the growth seekers. That means they will most certainly be watching any changes very carefully, and consequently any changes that are noticed will be magnified in their perception. Throwing in the cycle thing, basically they're going to observe enlargement when the cycle comes. It's also called water retention. Interestingly enough, the leaflets boast being able to effect changes precisely within that time frame. Hmmm! And the "changes" are said to subside after some time. Hmmmmmmm!

Well there's the physics behind it. Unless those supplements are able to channel fat into the area one way or another, it's quite unlikely for the changes to be permanent. Most likely the stuff just has minimal effectiveness if at all, and most likely induces water retention or other sorts of swelling instead of real growth. Bummer, eh?
