Head v. breast size tags -- one or both breasts?

For purposes of the large breasts, huge breasts, and gigantic breasts tags, we compare a woman's breasts to her head.

• Large: "If the breasts are of roughly similar volume in comparison to their owner's head, this is the tag to use."
• Huge: "The preferred rule of thumb is that breasts which are larger than the character's head, but less than twice the volume of the head, should be given this tag."
• Gigantic: "Breasts of a tremendous volume, at least twice as big as the girl's head."

I've noticed some inconsistency in the way these tags are used, and I was wondering, are you supposed to compare each breast or both breasts combined to the girl's head? It makes a huge difference in where the thresholds break.

Whichever way this goes down, I propose updating the Wiki pages to make this ambiguity clear.

I always thought that it was based on the size of one breast.

It seemed fairly obvious that you should use a single breast to measure. If you used two, then pretty much everything is skewed to huge_breasts.

I wouldn't say that it's obvious; I thought it referred to both breasts. The reason is that the wikis all use the word "breasts" (plural) in comparison to the head.

I'll change them to say one breast.

My main problem is comparing the breast to the face instead of the head, since anime style has more "hair volume" than Franco-Belgian/Western style.

Yeah, this is pretty much how I've been using the tags, but I've started to doubt myself after switching many "huges" to "larges" recently, where the "huge" would apply if both were counted together, and I figure that at least some posters are confused by the ambiguity.

I use a single breast and measure it relative to both head with hair and head along the hairline.

As others have said, I personally use a single breast as a measurement, mostly measuring the height of the breast in contrast to that of the head.

That seems to be a pretty solid majority opinion. I'll update the Wiki pages.

(Edit: Nevermind. Seems that Toks beat me to it, and I missed the post saying so above.)
