All women come in different shapes and sizes, there’s no surprise there. But did you know all breasts are not created equally. That would mean the process of finding the right bra for each person is far from just getting the right cup and band size down. Finding the right fit is tricky especially when you're thinking about purchasing a bra online. Many retailers would just focus on finding the right size for customers but there are other factors to consider such as the length or width of your breast or even the distance between both breasts. Here are some tips you might find handy in finding “the one”.
Types of Breast:
1) Tear Drop Breast
Description: As you can tell from it’s shape, the breast shape resembles teardrop. The shape is full, belling out slightly at the bottom.
Best Fit: Padded and push-up bras are most suitable for teardrop shapes. It helps lift the breast up and provides the best support. If you are uncomfortable with padded bras, opt for underwired bras with minimal paddings.

2) Relaxed Breast
Description: Relaxed shapes have lax tissue with nipples pointing downward. Relaxed breast shapes are usually common among women of older age. This is due to aging where the thinning of tissue and loss of skin elasticity. So it’s not uncommon for women to develop relaxed breast shapes later in life. It can also happen to women after childbirth or even changes in weight.
