How to Identify Breast Shape

Ultimate Guide to Identify Breast Shape and Choose Right Bra Styles

Here is the 6 main type of breast shape and share what kind of bra can match.

A bra is not as simple as one size and cannot be simply summarized by ABCD. Everyone's breasts are made up differently because the breast is mainly composed of fat and mammary glands.

The different combinations will cause different breast shapes, so if you want to buy a suitable bra, the first thing you need to do must clearly know about your breasts.

How to identify breast shape?

You can determine your own breast shape visually by examining your breasts in the mirror, seeing both their shape as well as your nipple placement.

Imagine the breast as a hemisphere (or cone),

  • R = base, the diameter of the contact between the breast and the body
  • H = bulge, the height of the breast bulge.

The base diameter and bulge sizes can combine into different breast shapes.
