Here’s How to Find the Perfect Bra for Asymmetrical Breasts

90 percent of women live their whole lives with asymmetric breasts, which is not necessarily indicative of any underlying condition. So, uneven breasts are common. Sometimes the breast difference can be very small and unnoticeable. Otherwise, it can be noticeable up to 1 or 2 cup sizes. Having an uneven shape is absolutely fine as long as you don't have any medical complications. We hear you asking, "How do I buy bras that fit my uneven breasts?" Don't worry, we will help you find the perfect bra for asymmetrical breasts.

What are the Characteristics of Asymmetric Breasts?

• The size of the right and left breasts is not the same.
• The volume of the breasts is different.
• The shape of one breast is not the same as the other.

How Do You Know If You Have Asymmetrical Breasts?

1. Physical Examination: The simplest way to determine the shape of your breasts is to look at them in the mirror. If you notice a visible difference in the size, shape, or volume of the breast, you have an asymmetrical breast.
2. Bra Test: Wear a regular bra of your size, and if you notice breast spillage or gapping on one of your cups, you may have an asymmetrical breast. If you find spillage or gapping on both cups, you probably aren't wearing the right size bra.

What is the Common Bra Problem with Uneven Breasts?

The common problem with this type of breast shape is finding a bra that fits both breasts perfectly. Minor variations do not need any attention, but if the difference is visible, you will need a perfect bra that will make your breasts look identical. To solve this problem, you need to look for stretchable, padded, and moulded cups to shape and balance your silhouette.

How Should a Bra Fit on Uneven Breasts? 

It is not always easy to achieve excellence with this type of breast, but you should feel comfortable. To prevent fit issues and breast spillage, always find a bra that fits the larger breast first. Then you can invest in removable inserts or padding to even out the smaller breast.

Things to Keep in Mind When Buying a Bra for Asymmetrical Breasts

1. Bra Padding	Moulded Cup - Stretchable pads made from memory foam will give you a little boost in the smaller size. It will also help you achieve a perfect fit and even out the differences.
	Non-Padded Cup - If the size difference isn't too significant, you don't need padded bras. You can still feel comfortable in a non-padded bra with side supports to hug your curve.
	Removable Padding- Look for bras with removable padding so that you can add/remove the pad inserts on any of the sides to even out the asymmetrical shape.
2. Bra Style	Most bra styles are suitable for asymmetrical breasts if they have stretchable and moulded cups. You can wear a t-shirt bra, plunge bra, sports bra, or seamed bra that is stretchable to visually minimise the appearance of unevenness.
