Are you trying to figure out your unique breast shape? On the outside, it may look like every woman’s boobs are the same, but there are slight differences (and big ones too) that women need to understand.
Breast shape plays a critical part in selecting the best bra for your body and overall confidence.
If you’re trying to figure out the different breast shapes, you’ve come to the right place. Below is a list of different breast shapes. Read on to find out if you fit into one of these categories.
Round
Round breasts are the most common breast shapes and tend to be symmetrical with fullness at the bottom, and their diameter is greater than the distance from the nipple to the inframammary fold.
A good bra for round breasts is one that has full coverage and support.
Teardrop
There are different breast shapes and one of the most popular is the teardrop, which is often desired by many women.
This shape is achieved when the breast tissue extends further down the chest, creating a natural “teardrop” look. Many women feel that this shape is more aesthetically pleasing, as it gives the illusion of a larger breast.
Asymmetrical
Asymmetrical breasts are just as they sound- one breast is noticeably larger than the other. This is the most common type of breast asymmetry and can occur for a variety of reasons.
Weight gain or loss, pregnancy, and breast augmentation surgery are all common causes of asymmetrical breasts. While this type of asymmetry is usually harmless, it can be a source of insecurity for some women.
Luckily, there are a variety of bras and clothing items designed to help even out the appearance of asymmetrical breasts.
Bell Shape
A bell shape breast is fuller at the bottom and narrower at the top and the nipple is usually centered. This shape is common among women with smaller busts.
Partial or full coverage bras work well for this shape, a balconette or push-up bra can also give the illusion of a fuller bust.
Conical Breasts
Conical breasts have a pointed shape and are narrower at the base than they are at the nipple. This shape is often found in small female breasts.
Many bras are designed to flatter this shape, including demi-cup bras and push-up bras. Bras with removable padding can also help to create the illusion of a fuller breast.
