There are people who set a record for brewing the largest cup of cappuccino or the couple who broke a record by kissing for a really long time. And the other times, breaking a world record is just a matter of showing up in lingerie.
Keeping in mind the fun we all draw out from such facts, here are some of the wackiest lingerie records compiled for you:

After two-and-a-half years of planning, the longest bra chain consisted of 166,625 bras, measured 163.77 km (101.7 miles) and was created by Citizens Who Care group, (Australia) at the Bundaberg Show Grounds, Australia, on 9 August 2009.

World’s Largest Bra
28th October 2011, Reckitt Benckiser (UK), London
A pink bra was built by Reckitt Benckiser and Vanish to raise awareness of breast cancer. As a matter of fact this for the largest bra which measured 26.72 m (87 ft. 7.97 in) on the underbust and had a bust measurement of 29.6 m (97 ft. 1.35 in). The record was made by Reckitt Benckiser (UK) in London, UK, on 28 October 2011. Fun fact- the measurements were taken prior to the bra’s unveiling at the ITV tower at London’s South Bank.
Largest gathering of people only in their underpants
24th October 2011, Utah Undie Run in Salt Lake City
2,270 participants gathered at the Utah Undie Run in Salt Lake City on on 24 September 2011. First of all, all participants gathered in a single area in accordance with guidelines before the run began. Then thousands of people stripped to their underwear and ran through Salt Lake City to protest the “uptight” laws of Utah.
Most bra’s unhooked in one minute
26th October 2013, Ireland (Skibbereen)
While the task of trying to unhook a bra often results in fumbling fingers and first of all embarrassed expressions for most men. Wish we could say the same for Sean Murray. The Irishman’s fast hands resulted in him setting the new world record for the most bras unhooked in a minute, in Cork, Ireland, in 2013. Murray managed to unhook an incredible 91 bras in just 60 seconds; hence, that’s one bra every 0.66 seconds!
