7
TYPES OF
BOOBS
If you always thought there were only two kinds of boobs—big or
small—your mind is about to be blown. According to bra company
ThirdLove, women have one of seven different sets of boobs.
“During our product design process, we discovered that getting
a great fit was about identifying the style that best suits your
natural shape,” says Ra’el Cohen, vice president of design and
product development at ThirdLove.
While ALL types of boobs are perfectly normal and beautifully
imperfect, knowing your boob shape can help you get the best
bra fit. Skim the brand’s Breast Shape Dictionary to I.D. your
pair—and shop accordingly.
Asymmetric:
One breast is larger than the other; ranges from minor (barely
noticeable) to more pronounced.
Look best in:
Bras with removable pads, so you can wear a pad (or two) on the
smaller side to even out your look.
Bell Shape:
Generally heavier breasts; narrower at the top, then drastically
fuller toward the bottom.
Look best in:
Full-coverage styles. Because the boobs are heavier, they can drag
down the shoulders, causing the straps to slip (and reduce support).
East West:
A gentle slope from top to bottom, but out to the sides; nipples point
in opposite directions.
Look best in:
Push-up or T-shirt styles, which flatter your natural shape while
comfortably bringing your boobs closer together.
Side Set:
A wide space in between the two breasts; nipples point a little more
forward than East West.
Look best in:
Balconette styles, which have more fabric above the cups to disguise
a larger gap between breasts.
Slender:
A little wider at the top, narrower at the bottom; generally skinny
without a lot of breast tissue.
Look best in:
Plunge styles, with or without push-up material. The plunge helps pull
the boobs toward the middle to create a bit of cleavage.
Tear Drop:
Similar to Bell Shape but with a much gentler slope; easily identifiable
from the side.
Look best in:
Plunge styles, with or without push-up material. The deeper neckline and
cups create lift, which helps fill in the shallower top of the breasts.
Round:
Equally full on top and bottom; often surgically enhanced, but not always.
Look best in:
Balconette styles, which show off your perky shape. Consider Round boobs to
bras as the Oval face to haircuts: They can pull off anything. (Lucky you.)
