Breast Separation
Breast separation between women’s breasts really does vary widely. This is the horizontal distance between your two breasts at the center of your chest. Depending on how much or how little distance you have between your two breasts can determine whether or not you will achieve touching cleavage (that vertical fold line created when breasts touch), how a bra will fit you, and if and underwire bra will be comfortable. You have one of the following 5 types of breast separation, and all 5 types are a common occurrence. |
Touching Breasts |
Touching breast separation (also known as “kissing breasts”) is where
your two breasts are touching or almost touching when you are standing
sans a bra. If your breast are such, you have probably figured out that a
bra’s center panel (also called the center gore and center bridge) will
have fit issues and probably not rest against your sternum. And the
underwires of a traditional underwire bra will probably tilt outward and
away from your body at your sternum because again, there is no space
available for them to rest against your sternum. There is also a rare
condition called “Symmastia” where the breast tissue between the two
breasts is connected Bra Suggestions:

Separated Breasts
Separated Breasts
|
Separated breasts are the most common form of breast separation.
This is where the two breasts, at rest, are not touching one another –
generally the breast distance will be 1 to 2 finger’s widths apart.

Splayed Breasts |
Splayed breast separation is where the breasts are separated, but the
separation splays outwards creating a triangle shape between the
breasts. So your bra’s center panel (also called center bridge or
center gore) needs to be chosen carefully. If the bridge is not shaped
like a triangle, the bottom of the bridge will not be wide enough, and
this could cause your underwires between your breasts to tip outward and
away from your sternum. Women who are splayed and have large breasts
can find their breasts extending past their sides and getting in the way
of arm movement.

Wide-set Breasts |
Wide-set breasts are separated breasts but are further apart - generally
3 or more finger’s widths apart at the sternum. Because of this
distance, the ability to create touching cleavage is almost impossible.
Underwires can be uncomfortable if you are widely separated, and can
cause discomfort in the underarm area if the underwires are not
encircling all your breast tissue. Leaning forward and pushing the
under arm breast tissue inside the cups can help. Manipulating the
underwire circumference shape and angle can make an underwire bra feel
more comfortable.

Wide-set/Splayed Breasts |
Wide-set/splayed breasts are a combination where your breasts are
both wide-set and splayed – there are 3 or more finger-widths between
your breasts, and the breasts splay outwards creating a wide
triangle-shape between the breasts. The center panel of you bra is
again, key. It needs to be triangle in shape, or barely have a center
panel at all. If your breasts are large, you can find them in conflict
with the movement of your arms. Underwires could be uncomfortable under
your arms as well. It is very unlikely that wide-set/splayed breasts of
any size will be able to create a vertical cleavage line.
Bra Suggestions:
Basically by knowing your breasts, you will know what kind of bra suits you perfectly.
