BAGUALING, China -- The Chinese are serious about building a better bra.

There's now a degree in bra studies at Hong Kong's Polytechnic University. And China's biggest lingerie manufacturer, Top Form, has a bra lab at its factory. The company makes more than 60 million bras a year for well-known labels such as Victoria's Secret, Playtex and Maidenform.

The Wall Street Journal reports Top Form has been experimenting with various types of padding to give the bust a boost.

They've tried air, but like tires it was prone to flats. Oil-filled pads were too expensive and heavy.

Now, the company is trying a filling made from a thin type of fiberfill, the stuffing used in ski parkas.

5. I have 4 PhDs in various "bra studies" and I specialize

It's my "think inside the bra" mentality that's gotten me where I am.
