Following Italian researcher Piero Lorenzoni claims that he can tell a woman’s personality from the size and shape of her breasts, I yet have another breast story to share. I don’t know what’s with the news these days.
Thais promote breast-enhancement exercise
Concern over “miracle” creams [story attached below], and a recent bare-breast promotion of one product, has prompted the Health Ministry to campaign for breast-enhancement through exercise, the national news agency said Sunday.
The products were spotlighted last week after police charged three models and the makers of a “15-minute breast-enhancement cream” with indecent exposure after a bare-all demonstration.
She (Health Minister Sudarat Keyuraphan) said that the “best way to enhance one’s breasts is to engage in suitable forms of exercise,” adding that her ministry would campaign for women to engage in such exercise to counter the popularity of the breast-enhancement products.

Apparently, the Thai government is concerned over the breast enhancement products, you know - products that can miraculous increase a women’s bust size. The Thailand government has plans to unveil a campaign that actually teaches women how to enhance their breasts from a series of exercise.
Thai bust-booster exercises
Concern over ‘miracle’ creams and a recent bare-breast promotion of a product that caused a scandal prompted Thailand’s Health Ministry to start a nationwide breast-enhancement campaign through exercise.
A list of ’suitable’ exercises to increase bust size will be unveiled soon, to counter the popularity of breast enhancement products, reported The Nation.

The following is the news article that involves 3 models who demonstrated the miracle breast beautifying cream.
It Isn’t Often You See Breast Cream Used in Public
A promotion for breast enhancing cream that involved three models having a 15 minute mammary massage in public has caused a furor in Thailand, with family groups saying it violates traditional values and morality.
Despite Bangkok’s racy reputation as the “anything goes” sex capital of southeast Asia, most Thais are uncomfortable with public nudity and all newspaper pictures of the demonstration had the breasts blurred out.
“The campaign is just to promote the product without considering the damage to society,” Ladda Thangsupachai of the Cultural Watch Center told the Nation newspaper on Friday. “This is taking advantage of society and an irresponsible act.”
Executives of St Herb Co., which makes the “breast beautifying” cream, said they laid on the stunt merely to counter suggestions their advertising claims were exaggerated.
The Nation said Ying, one of the models, was embarrassed at having to bare herself in front of the cameras, but did believe her breasts had become firmer and the gap between them smaller as a result of the treatment.
St Herb is likely to evade the wrath of regulators because the cream is “breast beautifying” rather than “breast enlarging” — a trick missed by makers of a “breast enlarging bra” now under scrutiny from the Thai Food and Drug Administration.
Whether it works or not, a headline in the Thai Post tabloid summed up the controversy best in a society obsessed with marketing gimmicks: “Big breast bras good for people with small brains.”
