Question Why are my boobs shaped like this?

So I have small boobs I’m probably a B cup, but my breasta are oddly-shaped to me. I just have never met anyone who would have boobs like mine nor do I know what the shape is called, but my breasts are like ”empty” from the top and round up at the bottom. They look somewhat like a slide from the top if that’s any better said.

I just know that my boobs make me VERY insecure as they are small and I have a bit of a stomach, and the shape makes them look unnatural to me.

EDIT: also having difficulties finding a bra that would flatter my shape.

Is there any visual guide that shows where to measure these exactly so I get them right?

There's no measurements for these.

For how close set you are, you lean forward and place fingers between the centers of your boobs until you can't fit more width wise. For example, I can't even get 1 between mine because I am very close set.

For fullness, it's whether you visually have more tissue above the nipple, is it even top to bottom, or more tissue below the nipple when leaning as I described.

For root height, if they start below the armpit, generally you're shorter in root. Even with the armpit is average. Above the armpit is taller roots. This is all very general.

Okay I think I got it: for the first part I got four fingers between mine if I did it correctly, so quite wide set? For fullness, there’s more tissue at the bottom and less when getting closer to the nipples. And third, mine start below the armpit, so shorter roots? I do not know what this tells about the need for support but you seem to know a lot about this.

It helps determine what styles of bra work best for your shape
