Gather round, Broads. I\u2019ve got news for you: <\/span>no one\u2019s body is perfectly symmetrical.<\/span><\/i> We\u2019ve all got little differences all over! As a teen, I was tormented by the fact that one of my eyebrows sits higher on my face than the other. Sunglasses shopping was stressful; I was constantly on the hunt for lenses big enough that my higher brow wouldn\u2019t peek over the top and make me look like the Rock<\/a>. (Yep, it\u2019s tough to be me.) But it doesn\u2019t stop at brows. Breast asymmetry is a thing, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve yet to fit anyone with completely symmetrical breasts. Sure, some people are mostly balanced, but we\u2019ve all got one boob that\u2019s at least a little bigger than the other. The notepad we use for fittings<\/a> even has a space for us to note which one! That\u2019s the number one thing I want you to take away from this: your boobs aren\u2019t weird or wrong. The second takeaway? Asymmetrical breasts can still have bras that fit! Here\u2019s how.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prioritize your fuller side.<\/span><\/h4>\n

You don\u2019t want your cups to runneth over. It\u2019s generally better to have a bit of room in one cup than to create a \u201cdouble-boob\u201d situation in the other. That extra space won\u2019t show through your shirt, but the pillow created by a too-small cup sure will. Some bras make this easier to achieve than others, which brings me to the next point…<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick the right bra.<\/span><\/h4>\n

As I\u2019ve said a zillion times, there\u2019s no one perfect bra for every body. However, there are certain features that make it easier to fit asymmetrical breasts.\u00a0<\/span>Stretch lace along the top of a cup can give the extra flexibility you need to accommodate both boobs, with no (or minimal) gapping or pillowing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Ewa

Ewa Michalak’s Bibi bra uses stretch lace to optimize fit.<\/p><\/div>\n

If one breast is significantly fuller than the other, a bra with removable pads can be a godsend. Since the pads are optional, you can remove the pad on your larger side, and even double up on your smaller side.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cappuccino,

Cappuccino, also by Ewa Michalak, has a removable pad in each cup.<\/p><\/div>\n

And last, but certainly not least…<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about it.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Your fitter notices these differences because she\u2019s all up in your space and focused on how your bra fits. The rest of the world is really not going to notice. And to paraphrase the best advice I\u2019ve received on my eyebrows: breasts are sisters, not twins. Having one boob that\u2019s bigger than the other one isn\u2019t a flaw, and it\u2019s certainly not unusual. It\u2019s just part of being a human.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
