Why is "cup depth" called "cup depth"?

Ok, this question goes out to Jj and the person that once upon a time started using the word "cup depth". What is up with calling it that? Does anyone know whom ever come up with that idea?

Calling it "cup depth" completely messes with my cute little autistic head.

A more fun note: don't google image the word "gore".

  • If you have the inside of the cups facing you, and you're bending over, it is a depth, isn't it? :)

    I agree that projection would make more sense.

  • Aaa Cup depth for me is doing this: Stuff the cup as intended, lay on a flat surface. Take a yardstick and measure depth like shown in the picture :D

    I have no idea what it should be called because it comes out wrong whatever expression chosen. I don't even know if the word perimeter for breast is logic. But if it is then why not use the same word for the cup perimeter?

    MilkAndHoney Eye architect: what should it be called? :D What are we in reality measuring?
