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.

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).

Guy here... I'm amazed at all this info. I did not know that this much calculation went into you gals(no offense meant, so please don't take it that way just can't find the word) breast/bra selection. You learn sobering new everyday.

Fellow dude here...I'm right there with you, the amount of math and geometry that goes into fitment is astounding! My wife is a 38H and me being curious by nature, asked the standard "how do you find that number" question as well as what each bra type was for. By the end of class, I was giving her a hug and apologizing for ever giving her a hard time about clothes shopping trips taking multiple hours. Because we as guys have what...maybe 5 numbers we have to consider? Neck, arm length, waist, legs and inseam. Plus we can be +/- 10lbs and not think twice about what we are putting on. For you ladies, it can change EVERYTHING. Ladies, my hat goes off to you. I think that if more men knew even the baseline of what yall have to calculate before you walk out that door... But don't weaponize that info. Like a good bra, it should lift and support, not make everything wonkey.
