Ladies and Gentlemen, are you fed up with the side effects of breast enlargement medication? Does that third eye that sprouted up on your left knee really bug you after taking your latest prescription? Well we has some good news for you. Watch the video below (is in English with Japanese subs) to learn how Dr Tomobechi managed to enlarge a woman's bust size by 3 centimeters just by getting her to listen to particular ring tones over the period of 10 days - was on the Discovery Channel so it must be true.

And as for the first picture - its a bra for men which you can buy at Rakuten for 29USD - for men who are happy with their breast size. Thanks Henry!

  Ringtone? Why don’t they just play it on loudspeakers everywhere, all the time?

• [Sork]

  The difference is only ~1cm in the diameter. Second measuring was probably a bit more optimistic/sloppy.

• [Sork]

  Oh, and of course calculated on a circle. She could just have got wider but we don’t get more data.

  /thread.

  Hey yeah you’re right, that did end the thread!

• [Gutierrez]

  @sork Well I’m probably assuming too much but isn’t the shot at around 4:40 a superimposed before/after? Or is that just special effects?

  The only thing I’m curious about was how they factored in the test subject’s monthly ovulation. I’m sure it was considered but possibly just left out of the clip… but it’s not all that unusual for a woman’s breasts to become larger just as a side effect of her monthly period alone.
  (Sorry to all those who hate to ever think about periods.)
  A breast enhancing ringtone would be great! I just wonder if the results that were gotten here were all that amazing…

• [dancentury]

  That’s too much pressure!!! How about we don’t do business and you and your employees starve.

  Don’t get me wrong… I’ve everything else about Japan.

• [jeda21]

  What if her breast size increased not because of the ringtone, but because of the usual monthly hormonal cycle…as is usual with most women?

  The original post ( http://www.boingboing.net/2004/09/27/breastenlarging-ring.html ) is happily followed up here.

  I’m curious how their baldness ring tone is going (not that I’m balding, i just want to see that demo).

  @sork She could probably get that kind of fluctuation well within a normal menstrual cycle.

• [SteamKev]

  Time-of-the-month-tone.

• [Manooshi]

  Is this déjà vu? Or have we seen the ‘man-bra’ on BB before?

• [Teller]

  #2: It’s ringtone, not ringtome.

• [robulus]

  Hello Messenger!

  If you’re goint to share the word of God, make sure its on topic! Don’t just copy and paste a load of meaningless crap into people’s nice clean posts!

  Try and work some post-modern irony about breast enlargement from ring-tones into your long boring rant.

• [sleze]

  So where’s the link to the ringtone?

• [godfathersoul]

  - i thought maybe the guy talking was John Oliver from the Daily Show….

  - “proud owner of…” that’s just weird. The whole thing… is almost as weird as comment #2. What the hell is that all about. I think it is causing my penis to shrink!

  What would happen if you set your ringtone to Sir Mix-a-Lot?

• [13strong]

  Reminds me of Reeves & Mortimer’s “Bra Men” sketches.

  “Cyan’t a fella wear a bra wi’out all folk lookin’ at ‘im?”

• [pork musket]

  In before sexist mannequin tirade?

  When I saw the headline, I immediately thought of a bra that would inflate when you get an incoming call.

  Well, at least that would actually work…

  mmm lactating ringtone
