Breast Shape...

Okay, I've been trying hard to figure out my breast shape. I'm pretty sure I have inner fullness and I think I may have tall (but shallow?) roots. This is my guess mainly because I have balcony bras that somehow manage to simultaneously quad a little at the top ends but then sort of gape and wrinkle at the top ends, too. Weird to explain. Maybe I'll try to post pictures.

Anyway, is it true that if you lean over 90 degrees, the placement of your nipples can help determine whether your FoT or FoB? Because I tried this, and my nipples sit right in the middle of my breasts and point straight at the floor. Does that mean I'm even?

Man, all this shape business is confusing @_@

  • I believe when they point to the floor, it does indeed indicate an even shape. Mine do the same (though they also point east and west because of my center fullness, but that's a different matter) when bent 90 degrees and I consider myself evenly shaped.

  • Pics would definitely be helpful, if you can! I'm not sure about the nip position, but one way to determine if you're more FoT or FoB is to lean over and see where most of your tissue end up. Bras I Hate has the best explanation of this I've read: http://brasihate.blogspot.com/2013/02/clarifying-breast-shape-full-on-top-vs.html

    Looking at the pics you have on here, it looks like you're more full toward the center and sides, and with taller roots. That's just my best guessitimate, though! The best way to determine, for me anyway, is by trying different bras which are known for being either FoT or FoB friendly, and seeing how they fit.
