Photos: 7 Types of Breasts and Best Bra Styles for Them to Fit

The breast of woman is one of her esteem assets which majority of them love to flaunt. This next article is both an educative and informative piece which encourages women to learn more about their breasts and how to figure out the best type of bras for comfort. 

According Ra'el Cohen, the vice president of design and product development at ThirdLove, a bra company, women have seven different sets of boobs, but do not know.

 “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 told Women'sHealth.

 Now, this is time for you to learn about the different types of breasts and how to maintain your own.

1. Asymmetric: One breast is larger than the other; ranges from minor (barely noticeable) to more pronounced (as pictured).

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 breasts

2. Bell Shape: Generally heavier breasts; narrower at the top, then drastically fuller toward the bottom.

Look best in: Full-coverage styles. Because the breasts are heavier, they can drag down the shoulders, causing the straps to slip (and reduce support).

East west breasts

3. 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 breasts

4. 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 breasts

5. 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 breasts toward the middle to create a bit of cleavage.

Tear Drop breasts

6. 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 breasts

7. 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.)
