Team asymmetrical with a side of bell shape in the house!

Yes, I’m talking about my breasts.

According to bra company Thirdlove, there are seven different types of breasts out there. And they say to get the best and most supportive bra, a lady needs to know her boob shape. So check out the following breasts and the bras (from Thirdlove) that are the best fit for them:

Asymmetric

One boob is larger than the other. According to Women’s Health, asymmetrical breasts hold up best in bras with removable pads. Therefore, the padding for the larger breast can be removed, while the padding for the smaller one will help even things out. Like the Plunge Perfect bra ($49):

Bell Shape

The breast is slimmer at the top and full (a.k.a., heavier) at the bottom. A full-coverage bra usually has the wider straps heavier breasts need to be held up. Especially since heavy breasts can cause straps to slip, inevitably reducing support. Like the 24/7 Classic Full Coverage ($68):

East West

This breast type means the nipples are pointing outward. Push-up and T-shirt bras are your best bet because they help turn the breasts inward. Like the 24/7 Classic T-shirt bra ($68):

Side Set

Members of the side set crew have a large gap in between their breasts, so a balconette bra is their best bet. The more fabric above the cups, the better. Check out the 24/7 Lace Balconette bra ($76): balconette

Slender

Slender bosom characteristics include thin breasts that point downward. Plunge styles help to provide a little lift, with or without padding. Like the aforementioned Plunge Perfect bra ($49):

Tear Drop

Slightly similar to the bell shape, the tear drop shape is slightly rounder and less full up top. Plunge styles are also recommended for lift purposes, which helps to fill in the top. Again, can’t go wrong with the Plunge Perfect bra ($49):

Round

Round breasts are equally full from top to bottom. While balconette bras flatter round breasts, women with this type can wear pretty much anything. Like the Evolve Front-Closure bra ($59):
