There are different breast shapes, and the different bra types suitable for each shape, if you aren’t aware already, there are atleast 10 different breast shapes. With this article we’re going to run you through six of the most common ones.


The shape of the breast can be a result of different things, from genes to nursing, weight loss or gain, even gravity, and of course - age. They can all contribute to how a breast is shaped, but you will need to wear fitting bras, no matter what. In this present time, where shopping for everything online is often the only choice, you need to be able to tell a good bra fit from the looks.

Round Shaped Breast

In the round breast shape, the breast tissue is spread equally across the top and the bottom of the breast, so it looks round and most brow models would have this round. The desired support and coverage are supposed to be looked after for such a type of breast shape. The preferred options that are best with comfort and support are T-shirt bras, balconette, and plunge bra styles.
Bell Shaped Breast

So is this breast shape, hence the name. The breast tissues are more on the bottom of the boobs. If you have a bell-shaped breast, you will need a bra with lots of support in the underwire. A good padded bra will provide you with the sufficient support bottom that these types of breasts require. The bra can also feature padded cups to help give your breast a lift that will even out the shape.
Tear Drop Shaped Breast

In such cases the breast tissues are lax or sagging, leaving the nipples and boobs pointing down. Teardrop breasts also called relaxed breasts mostly could occur during the maternity period when breasts are sagging. An underwired, demi- cup bra with a vertical seam will lift the breasts and make them look fuller on the top as well. Saggy breasts need extra care and support; you should also opt for good quality push up bras or underwired bras.
Asymmetrical Shaped Breast

The asymmetrical shape of breasts is when one is smaller than the other one. Although, it is completely normal to have such a type of shape, managing to get the perfect bra, to hide the asymmetry, might be a deadly task. A nice T-shirt bra is suitable in order to visually reduce the difference in sizes. The full coverage can make it seem equal, hiding the asymmetry.
Slender Shaped Breast

Women with a bit larger breast or plus- size women consisting of longer breasts tend to fall under this category. This breast shape is generally longer and wider at the downside of the breast tissue. In this case, the most appropriate bra to wear is a plus- size plunge bra or an underwired padded plunge bra that would help offer the upliftment for the breasts.
East - West Shaped Breast

Not as funny as it sounds, in such a scenario the breasts and the breast tissues are pointing outwards, in the opposite direction from each other. This indicates that the nipples would also be pointing outwards as well, and the kind of bra you would be looking for, if you have this breast shape, is a contoured bra. A contoured bra would bring the breast inwards, and it will shape it forward so that it can give you that breast shape that you're looking to have.
All right, now that we’ve discussed all eight types of shapes, the next time when you go shopping don't just look for your size. The shape that you bear is often unnoticed, and thus do consider it the next time, while lingerie shopping.
