The range of the human anatomy is as fascinating and beautiful as beauty itself, ranging from delicate nuances to striking features. This also applies to the shape of female breasts, as individuality and diversity reign supreme, enhancing every body's beauty.

In a fashion world filled with lace, silk, charmeuse, tulle, and much more, it's especially important to understand and know the different breast shapes so that bras can provide the best support and comfort.

Did you know that there are 7 different breast types? And do you know which one you belong to? Let's delve into the world of these different breast shapes and discover how unique and wonderful the human form can be. We'll also tell you which bras are best suited for your breast shape.

Round Breasts

Round breasts are particularly characterized by their shape. The breast is equally round above and below the nipple, appearing evenly full and shaped. The breast sits firm and close to the body. In many cases, this breast shape is achieved through breast surgery, but it can also occur naturally.

Bra recommendation: Due to the shape and the close fit, a non-wired bra is usually worn. The bra cups don't require any push-up, as the curves of the breasts create a beautiful cleavage directly with a simple bra.

We recommend our Royal Delite, a non-wired lounge bra. This has an extra-high side seam below the armpit, ensuring a perfect silhouette. Very soft cups paired with an equally soft fabric and our comfortable back solution create a unique wearing experience.

East-West Breasts

East-West breasts tend to tilt slightly outward. The nipples may be slightly sideways with this breast shape.

Bra recommendation: T-shirt bras are recommended for this breast shape, as they cover the gap between the breasts. The material should be firm and also padded on the sides, allowing the breasts to be pushed slightly toward the center of the chest.

We recommend our Royal Fit, a completely seamless bra with a very comfortable back and a very softly padded underwire. Our Royal Miracle is also completely seamless, has a very softly padded underwire, and provides a unique wearing comfort based on a perfect fit.

Asymmetrical Breasts

Asymmetrical breasts are usually not the same size. Many women experience differences in size and shape—however, this is not considered asymmetry.

A breast is described as asymmetrical if there are visible differences other than one breast being significantly smaller or larger than the other. Nipples can also vary considerably in appearance.

Bra recommendation: For asymmetrical breasts, bras with integrated removable pads are suitable. This can easily compensate for the size difference.

Teardrop-shaped breasts

These are characterized by the breasts being narrower at the top but becoming more voluminous towards the bottom. Similar to a drop of water, as the name of this breast shape aptly describes. The nipples are positioned centrally with this breast shape.

Bra recommendation: Several bras are suitable for this breast shape. A classic underwire bra, possibly with light padding, a T-shirt bra without underwire, a sports bra, or even push-up bras.

Women with teardrop-shaped breasts can wear anything, as each bra will showcase their breasts to their best advantage. We recommend our Royal Fit and Royal Fit Sport, which offer ultimate support and comfort thanks to their padded underwires.

The Royal Gala features lightweight cups made from a spacer knit fabric, offering a pleasantly light feel. Breathable and comfortable to wear, they hug the breasts and create a beautiful décolleté. Our Royal Miracle is also suitable for this breast shape.

Bell-shaped breasts

A common characteristic of bell-shaped breasts is the size and weight of the breasts. This breast type is narrow at the base and becomes larger and more voluminous towards the base. Similar to a teardrop shape, but with a larger curve.

Bra recommendation: Sports bras are particularly well-suited for this breast shape, as is a compact, supportive minimizer. Our new Royal Diva is ideal for this, with its supportive cups that enclose the breasts and provide comfortable support. The entire bra is supported by wider, softer straps.
We also recommend our Royal Donna for this breast type.

Sagging breasts

This breast shape is characterized by very narrow breasts that are much more elongated than wide. The breasts hang low, and the nipples are also lower.

Bra recommendation: Balconette bras are particularly suitable for sagging breasts, as the semi-open bra cups make the cleavage appear fuller.

We recommend our Royal Magic bra. The underwire of this strapless bra is softly padded, so you won't feel it at all. The back of this strapless bra is completely seamless, and the inside of our strapless bra is woven with extra spandex, which provides a firm hold all around your body.

Small athletic breasts

Athletic breasts are small and less voluminous, but very firm, as there is more muscle mass in the breast. A gap can often develop between the breasts.

Bra recommendation: Due to the firm shape of the breasts, bra support is often not necessary. Unpadded bras, such as a bralette, can be used. These show off the breasts well and also create a beautiful cleavage.

Here we recommend our Royal Fit Sport and our Royal Dream is a wireless bralette with an integrated loop for a perfect fit and our seamless “soft stretch” back solution for optimal support and a unique wearing comfort.
