Breast forms should generally be positioned about an inch apart, with the bottom edge lining up approximately halfway between your elbow and your shoulder.
Detailed Positioning Guidelines
Achieving a natural and comfortable look with breast forms involves careful placement. Consider these factors:
-
Spacing: Aim for approximately 1 inch of space between the breast forms. This mimics the natural separation between breasts.
-
Vertical Placement: The bottom of the breast form should ideally align halfway between your elbow and shoulder. This provides a balanced and proportional appearance.
-
Bra Fit: The bra plays a critical role in supporting and positioning the breast forms. Ensure you wear a bra that fits correctly and provides adequate support. A pocketed bra is often recommended to keep the forms securely in place.
-
Individual Body Shape: While the general guidelines are helpful, remember that individual body shapes vary. Adjust the position slightly to achieve the most natural look for your specific body.
-
Comfort: Prioritize comfort. If the forms feel unnatural or restrictive, readjust their position until you find a comfortable fit.
Tips for Proper Placement
- Start with the Bra: Put on your bra first.
- Adjust the Forms: Place the breast forms into the bra pockets (if using a pocketed bra) or directly against your chest.
- Mirror Check: Use a mirror to assess the positioning. Check the spacing, vertical alignment, and overall appearance.
- Make Adjustments: Fine-tune the position as needed until you achieve a natural and comfortable fit.
- Movement Test: Move around to ensure the forms stay in place and feel secure.
