Let’s normalize breast asymmetry! It's very common for one breast to be larger or shaped slightly differently than the other. Asymmetry can involve differences in size, volume, form, and position. The exact causes of breast asymmetry are not well understood, and it can vary from person to person. Some women may have very slight asymmetry that they don't notice, while others may have a more noticeable difference, sometimes a cup size or more.
FIT THE RIGHT BREAST
There are many solutions for shopping for the right bra in this case. Choose a bra that is sized to fit the larger breast, ensuring it is supported and comfortable in the cup, and avoid sizing to the smaller breast, as it may result in spillage and discomfort.
STRETCH CUPS
Consider using bras with stretch cups that can customize the fit and shape to your breasts such as all of our Phoenix bras, which are able to fit three different cup sizes. Depending on your size, Phoenix offers XS-XL in A-C and D-DDD cups as well as 1X-3X in C-DD and DDD-H cups.
PADDING OR INSERTS
Use bras with removable inserts or "cookies" to even out the shape. Inserting padding on the smaller side can help create symmetry. Explore breast enhancers or pads made of various materials (silicone, gel, foam, water) to add volume to the smaller breast.
MOLDED CUPS
Molded and contour bras are also recommended, as they hold their shape and make size differences less noticeable.
Remember that breast asymmetry is a common occurrence, and these solutions can help boost confidence and provide a more even appearance, especially when wearing clothing that may accentuate the asymmetry. It's essential to find the right fit and style that works best for your unique body shape and preferences.
