I hope I get some answers cuz it doesn't look like many people post here but....
Is it normal for one woman's breast to be bigger than the other? (I'm not joking here lol). It's just no matter bra I wear I have a issue with uh... popping out on one side only. lol so is this typical? |

Yes. This is perfectly normal. Asymmetry in breasts can be as dramatic as a few cup sizes or as little as one breast being a bit perkier than the other. My right breast is shaped differently than my left, mostly due to the right side of my rib cage being shaped a bit differently than the left. As a result, the underwire in my bras sits a bit awkwardly and my breasts sit in the cups differently.
A lot of women feel self concious about breast asymmetry but really, no two breasts are completely alike by nature. Augmented breasts are another story, however.

It's very normal for one to be bigger. I have a friend who only gets her bras custom made because there's about a 2 cup size difference between the left and right.

Yep I have one breast bigger than the other but it is a real boom as I tend to keep things such as car keys or money in the smaller side. A pickpocket isn't likely to succeed when I keep things so close to my chest

Yes I have one that is a bit bigger. I've read that symmetry in the body is not the norm if measured carefully. I have one calf that's bigger than the other & one forearm that's much bigger than the other although that's from overuse.
But to split the body vertically there are differences. I think that's what gives us swagger!

Definitely normal. My left boob is bigger than my right, by about a cup size. I've found a solution that works for me re bras, and that's to wear stretchy sports bras, that don't use underwire or leave room on one side like formed cups do. The fabric fits itself to each side.

I agree that it is totally normal but I am biased since my right breast is bigger. If it ain't normal, it's normal for me.

Ok then I'm not alone lol. My mom passed when I was 9 so I never had anyone to ask these questions to. Imagine how I felt when I got my period lol. My dad refused to call them tampons. He called them "time of the month things" lmao. So yea my left boob is slightly bigger and now I know it's pretty normal!

Yeah, it's one of those weird body quirks, much like how for guys one testicle hangs slightly lower than the other.

Mine are the same size but my best friends are more than a cup sized different. It bothers her a lot....moreso when she was younger. It's pretty common from what she tells me. Her breasts don't look so noticeably different to me but I can tell a bit. Do bra makers make bras with different sized cups? If not, someone should start a custom bra ordering company to help women with this issue. Finding comfortable bras is hard enough without having to deal with this problem.

I think it might be better to get a bra that fits the larger side and pad the smaller one.
Mine are pretty symmetrical but I understand that I'm in the minority. Plus bra sizes vary by manufacturer, so it's kind of a pita no matter what. A good bra fitter is a must for support and looks. Last edited by Anonymous37954; May 11, 2017 at 06:54 PM. |
