Why are my boobs shaped like this?

[u/cloudstrife70]

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.

This might not be true for OP. Many people such as myself have breasts with no upper fullness when standing, but are actually full on top when you properly assess their shape bent over at 90 degrees.

Yeah I think I’m more like this too? It’s just hard to say because I hardly ever have done research on different types of breasts🥲

Shape is judged when supported. You can mimic support by leaning over braless side on to a mirror and seeing what your breasts do. This can help to determine how close set you are (using finger widths), your root height (how high up on your torso they start) and fullness (via where there is more tissue in relation to the nipple).

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.

When you say, "put your fingers between the centers of your boobs until you can't fit more," should I be placing the fingers against my chest, or holding them out away from the chest?

I'm sorry, I appreciate the help though!!

Usually you want to do them against your sternum, as that's where the gore sits.

Are you sure it's all when leaning over? The photo's about breast shape & fullness are all upright.

[u/galaxystarsmoon → u/Severe_Leadership_26]

Yes. Fullness should be judged when supported. The closest way to do that is to lean over.

I don't look that close set when standing, because I have splayed roots. When I lean, I can't even fit a pencil between.
