Beautiful, large, small female breasts. Types, shapes and sizes. A photo

Standard ideas about a woman's breasts and their size are often mistaken. The breasts of any woman are individual, and can have a special shape, size and location (examples of mammary glands are shown in the photo).

The main parameters of the mammary glands

The main features that determine the individuality of the shape of a woman's breast are the interval between the mammary glands and the direction of the nipples.

The gap between breasts can vary:

• breasts are located close to each other, or the interval between them is the minimum distance;
• the width of the hollow, which is located between the right and left breast, does not exceed 3 cm;
• the mammary glands closely border each other in the upper part of the bust, but diverge in the lower part. In this case, the lower neckline forms a kind of triangle.
• the left and right breasts are placed freely relative to each other, the interval between them is from 4 cm.

The final shape of the mammary glands also depends on the direction of the nipples.

There are the following options for their location:

• the nipples are aimed straight, the areola around them is small;
• the direction of the nipples is different, they are oriented in opposite directions relative to each other;
• the nipples are facing down, this phenomenon more often affects women after 45 years.

Women's breasts (the photo illustrates examples of their shapes), along with the indicated parameters, may have a special shape, size, have their own individual characteristics: be narrow, wide or medium, located high or low on the chest.

Bust size

An improperly fitted bra is a common cause of unsightly breasts, circulatory dysfunction, or the development of dangerous forms of pathology, such as cancer. Before purchasing the upper part of the underwear, you should determine its size.

The markings used to indicate the size of the mammary glands may contain:

• only a number - 1, 2, 3 and further;
• a number and a Latin letter - 75A, 90C, 80B and other designations. In this case, the number is the girth under the bust, indicated in cm, and the letter is the volume of the cup.

The fullness of the breast in letter and number designation is determined according to the following table:

Calculating breast size

For self-calculation of breast size, you need a tailor's centimeter. With its help, such fundamental measurements as the girth of the mammary glands and the girth under the breast are taken.

The bra increases the specified parameters, even if its style does not include corrective elements: bones, cups, foam or gel push-up fillers. Therefore, when buying a bra or sconce, the measurement of the circumference of the chest and back must be carried out without clothes or underwear.

If you buy clothes without the possibility of trying on, you should calculate the size of the chest in everyday underwear, for which the clothes are purchased.

Calculation scheme:

1. The tailor's centimeter is held in an extremely horizontal position parallel to the chest, closely applied to its most prominent points (most often at the level of the nipples), and the circumference is measured.
2. From the side of the back, the measuring tape should pass strictly at the same height as from the side of the mammary glands.
3. The back circumference under the bust is measured in accordance with the above rules, but the measuring tape is applied to the bottom of the bust - exactly where the bra belt is usually located, covering the chest and back.

Based on the results obtained, the size of the mammary glands is calculated using the formula: the value of the girth of the chest minus the value of the circumference under the breast.

For example, the bust girth is 90 cm, and the second main value is 75. Subtracting the smaller from the larger number gives the figure 15. The total value, as well as the chest and back girth indicators, allow you to determine the chest size from the table in letter or number designation.

What determines the shape of the breast

The shape, size, location of the mammary glands depend on the following fundamental factors.

Genetic predisposition

This is the first circumstance that affects:

• the size of the mammary glands;
• breast shape and fullness;
• firmness of the breast;
• the location of the breasts relative to each other;
• the height of the mammary glands;
• areola color;
• direction of the nipples;
• symmetry of the breasts and nipples;
• the width of the areola.

The breast can be transmitted to a girl from one relative through both the male and female lines, while the width of the hips, waist circumference, weight or height may well come from another.

Tight and firmer breasts can be the result of regular exercise, but genetics also affect how strong the Cooper ligaments (Cooper ligaments) are.

These are the connective fibers of the mammary glands, which maintain the shape of the breast in an elevated elastic state, preventing them from sagging prematurely. Cooper's ligaments become weak with age, and some, due to heredity, even before 35 years.

Weight

The second factor that affects breast size and breast fullness. When losing weight, girls lose centimeters in chest girth, because the mammary glands are covered with a fatty layer. Increase in weight leads to an increase in this fatty tissue, and the size of the breasts becomes larger.

However, the increase in the fat layer also leads to stretching and weakening of Cooper's ligaments, which can cause breasts to lose their natural shape, tone and firmness, as well as sag over the years.

Hormonal background

The size of the breast is also determined by the female genital hubbub - estrogens, therefore, with a sharp increase in estrogen in the female body, the breast increases, and with a deficiency it becomes smaller.

Blood estrogen levels can be affected by:

• menstrual cycle;
• taking oral contraceptives;
• unhealthy diet and grueling diets;
• bad habits (the use of alcohol and tobacco products);
• lack of vitamin E.

Pregnancy and lactation

During pregnancy, women's breasts also undergo changes. In the first months of pregnancy, the sensitive mammary glands increase, they swell, and pregnant women may experience pain in the décolleté. The color of the areola can change, and they develop Montgomery nodules - small formations that indicate an increase in sweat glands.

The breast increases in size gradually throughout the entire period of pregnancy, and reaches its peak while breastfeeding. On average, its weight increases by 3-4 times.

Underwear

An improperly fitted bra in adolescence can provoke disorders in the formation of the mammary glands. Also, the right underwear corrects the shape and supports the breast, allowing it to maintain its elasticity and keep Cooper's ligaments in a tight state.

Age

The last factor that affects the size of the breast in the early stages of life, and the shape - in the later. The main size of the mammary glands is at the age of 14-18.

Is it possible to pump up the chest

Photos of large female breasts on Internet sites that talk about how the mammary glands can be enlarged through exercise do not always confirm this fact. In fact, it is impossible to change breast fullness through training.

A woman's breasts are made up of mammary glands and adipose tissue, while the breasts are located under the bust. With exercise, the pectoral muscles increase while the breast size remains the same.

Workout and exercise can positively influence the shape of your breasts, lift them and make them firmer and more attractive. They should be performed on a regular basis.

Basic forms

There are several forms of mammary glands.

The main ones are:

1. Asymmetrical. Women's breasts can vary in size from each other. Most often this is not a pathology. Asymmetric breasts can be expressed in varying degrees: for some women, the difference between the mammary glands is completely invisible and can be corrected with special underwear, while others experience large complexes, because the difference between their mammary glands is 50% or more. It is only possible to correct breast asymmetry with the help of plastic surgery.
2. Round. This breast shape has a ball shape. It comes in different sizes. Round mammary glands are most often located in a small space relative to each other and are absolutely asymmetrical.
3. Conical \ triangular. Such breasts are never close-set, because the upper part is always narrower than the lower one. Rarely is a tapered breast with straight nipples. The size of the triangular chest varies from 0 to 5 and more.
4. Drop-shaped. Externally, the teardrop-shaped mammary glands are similar to the above form - the upper part of the breast is narrower than the lower one, and the direction of the nipples is different. However, the lower part expands not sharply, but more evenly, and has not angular, but soft and oval shape.
5. Set far away. The interval between the breasts is 4 cm or more. The size of such breasts is most often 0, 1 and 2. The nipples can be directed both straight and different sides from each other.
6. Small. Breasts that are either 0 or 1. Small breasts are often taut because there is no fatty tissue in these breasts.
7. Heavy. It has a size of 4 and up. The most common forms of heavy breasts are round, oval, teardrop. Nipples can be small and bulging, or wide and flat.

Unusual breast shapes

The female breast (the photo demonstrates its different forms) can be of an unusual shape.

It includes the following:

1. Low projection chest. In circumference, such breasts can correspond to a certain size, but when trying on a bra, its volume is not enough to completely fill the cup. Choosing a smaller size of underwear does not solve the problem, because the girth of the bones in this case also becomes smaller and cannot position the chest.
2. Incomplete breasts. Such a breast does not have enough volume, because its base is less than necessary. The shape of such a breast is elongated, oval or conical. It is difficult to choose underwear for this form, because the breast does not fill the bra cups.

Types of nipples

Female breasts (the photo shows the types of nipples), regardless of shape and size, may have the following types of nipples:

• standard - the nipple is always raised above the areola without the use of stimulation;
• convex - a nipple with a raised areola, from the side it may seem swollen;
• retracted - the nipple is located not above, but under the rim, it can rise when stimulated;
• flat - in appearance, such a nipple is absent, because it does not rise above the areola;
• asymmetrical - nipples of different shapes, for example, one standard or convex, and the other inverted or flat.

The body of every woman is unique, which is why the breasts and nipples of any owner will have a special shape, location, direction and size. Photos of Hollywood stars confirm that the size of the bust does not affect a woman's success and is not the main component of her charisma.
