A Guide to different Body shapes!

[zombiebabe]

When it comes to bodyshape ....we can get sometimes confused with them because it might seem similar to some people and we end up unable to differentiate between them!Here is a simple way to identify them ... so What are the different existing bodyshapes?

1. Rectangle body shape(also known as straight/athletic)

People with this body shape has very little to no waist definition. Their bust and hips are of nearly the same width.

2. Pear body shape

People with pear body shape have larger waist than hips. They generally have a defined waist and most women have it.

3. Hourglass body shape

People with hourglass body shape have well balanced bust and hips, i.e; of the same size with a well defined waist.

4. Diamond body shape

People with this bodyshape have larger waist than hips and bust.Their hips are even larger than their shoulders.

5. Cone body shape(also known as inverted triangle)

People having this body shape have larger shoulder and bust and not really defined waist .Also owners of this body shape come with narrow hips and thin legs.

6. Apple body shape

People with this body shape have average to full bust and full midsection and have thin legs.

So GAGers...what's your bodyshape?? (i am an hourglass btw)

I suppose I've got an hourglass shape, kind of unusual for a guy, a 44" chest and a 34" waist (that's the actual measurement, I wear size 32, men's trousers are vanity-sized nowadays) with fairly wide hips for a male, I'm 6' 2". I also have an enormous head (hat size 7 7/8) and a longish neck which makes my shoulders look relatively narrow even though they aren't.

Off the shelf clothes don't fit me very well but I look good in a tailored suit. I also look better naked than with clothes for the most part.

[zombiebabe]

oh damn lol

You can have a rectangle body shape at any weight range, you don't have to be thin or athletic. It just means your body fat is evenly distributed in the bust, waist and hips.

My body shape is spoon, it's one of the most difficult body shapes to dress..

[zombiebabe]

cool

[Azara]

a spoon is like a pear isn't it?

[SirenDep]

I guess if I have to define myself, with larger boobs, small shoulders and absolutely Not Large tummy or hips, @zombiebabe, I suppose Hourglass would do it.
I try to stay fit and exercise with 4 miles daily to keep my weight down around town. I hover between 116, Less if I am not all that hungry sometimes. I am a size 4-5.
However, if I would put on a few pounds, which in my life I have fallen off the babe wagon, I put it on in my legs and butt.
Another Great Take, which is why I had Mentioned You in that Other Question with Nutrition and so forth.
Good luck. xx

[zombiebabe]

maybe you're a cone shape or apple shape

[Paris13]

No, I don't think so, @zombie babe..
I have 36C boobs, thin waist, flat tummy, Not large hips at all, thin legs but athletic ones..
No I don't think so.. I am pretty proportioned for a size 4-5. lolxx

[Paris13]

@zombiebabe, thanks for the upvote. xx

[zombiebabe]

that's why i told you cone shape!!

[Paris13]

lol.. I have small shoulders though. lol But arms look nice. lolxxoo

[BoobMan]

Now THAT sounds like a winning shape to me! lol!

[Paris13]

@BoobMan why thank you so much.. No man has ever complained and by my profile, you can tell. lolxxoo

[BoobMan]

Oh my goodness! Sounds like quite a profile! :D

[Paris13]

lol... Unique, isn't it? Thanks for the follow, @BoobMan :)) xxoo

I am disappointed. Anytime people want to talk about "body shape" they talk about body proportions instead : hips larger than bust, narrow waist etc. The shape of a body is the way the body is SHAPED. Two women can have hips larger than bust and a well defined waist without having the same body shape. It is not a sufficient reason to associate them with the pear body shape. Their hips can be shaped differently (like round hips versus saddlebags), their torsos too can be shaped differently (like straight torso vs not-straight torso).

[DonyChicago]

Thank you for the upvote.

[martyfellow]

I also disagree. Athletic girls DO have a defined waist, it's just not as small as you find with the realy skinny girls because of the abdominal and oblique muscles being a little larger, from working out.

[zombiebabe]

yea i know but its not really defined

[martyfellow]

We have to disagree. It's quite defined, firm because of the muscles, no jiggly wave action. Sure the waist is a couple of inches larger, but it's actually BETTER defined in my book. Harder to pinch, for one thing.

[Blonde401]

Defined isn't really the word to use I think. Like I am hourglass, I know this for a fact. It's all to do with measurements, not definition. My bust and hip size are almost the same where as my waist is much smaller in measurement compared to those two. So it doesn't matter if you're toned or defined in your stomach - because your actual waist is the part you measure. Not everyone has a 'defined' muscular waist but can still fall into categories like hourglass.

[martyfellow]

I like the muscular waist, these girls don't jiggle when you slap their behinds.

[Blonde401]

hate to break it to you but you have to have curves to be an hourglass. Althetic girls aren't hourglass because their hip - bust - waist raitio won't be correct. It's fine if that's what you like but they're not going to be hourglass.

[Blonde401]

They'll be straight or oblong shape.

[Lolomon]

Hourglass, but when I gain weight sometimes I'm a pear than too much weight gain I start to get that Apple muffin top. my hips and shoulders are balanced and my boobs are 2 inches smaller in circumference of my buttnhip

[zombiebabe]

nice!!

[maria96]

It's funny how hourglass bodies are super rare yet most girls on here have it.

[zombiebabe]

lol never thought it was rare

[maria96]

https://www.fitdeskjockey.com/female-body-types Check the "hourglass" part!

[zombiebabe]

only about 8% ? wow lol

[Blonde401]

Hourglass is simply having the same measurements on your bust and hips and a smaller measurement in your waist.

[springocelot]

i don't know why rectangle is also called 'athletic' is being athletic is not dependent on body shape. anyway, that's the shape i have and i hate it.

[zombiebabe]

tbh I don't know... but its mostly described as such

[Azara]

i think bc people tend to develop shoulder MUSCLE to where they over shadow WAIUST. WHICH CAN LOOK SIMILAR TO BONE STRUCTURE NATURALLY OCCURRING THAT WAY.

caps unintentional.

[Belliebella]

I have narrow hips, slim waist, broadshoulders, big bust and average legs.. I consider myself a inverted. Triangle. . But looking at what you wrote on that paragraf I dont quite "fit" the discription kinda, so what Would you consider me?

[zombiebabe]

you sound like a triangle

[SolitaireBond]

Bust : 34C

Waist : 25"

Hips : 35"

So, am guessing here that I have an hourglass figure.. But perhaps am wrong.

[zombiebabe]

sounds like hourglasss yea

[ThisGurl]

I am a rectangle! BUT I am not straight lol. :) I do have curves, most definitely! It is kind of strange to be honest. :)

[zombiebabe]

lol nice

[kahxx]

hourglass, but my waist isn't THAT defined. i've got a big bust and big hips but a bit larger of a waist than most as well.

[zombiebabe]

as long as it meets the description... you're hourglass

[xobrowneyedbeauty]

I guess I'm an hourglass? I have a big butt but not wide hips so from the front I look hourglass I think haha

[zombiebabe]

nice lol

[dandysandy]

If my measurements are
34-24-36
what would you say my body shape is?

[zombiebabe]

something like an hourglass

[peachblossomluck]

That's awesome! You're the one everyone is jealous of☆♡☆

[BraidsGirl]

I'm not sure if I'm hourglass or pear (according to the second to last photo) what's the difference between them except pear being abit wider?

[zombiebabe]

pear hips are way larger than the bust compared to hourglass

[Azara]

and thighs. pear ends in thighs not hips.

[ElizabethBiersack]

I'd say mine is probably the upright triangle (not the inverted)

[zombiebabe]

cool

[peachblossomluck]

I was hourglass when I was younger but now I'm more apple. I've been inverted triangle before too.

[zombiebabe]

nice

[peachblossomluck]

Thanks:)

[FrenchEmma]

I don't know, my shoulders are aligned with my hips but my bust is smaller than my hips (quite a lot) what am I? Pear? Hourglass?

[zombiebabe]

sounds like pear

[FrenchEmma]

ohhh I wanted to be a hourglass :(

[Blonde401]

I'm hourglass. I've measured myself and I know I am, despite it being 'rare'.

[zombiebabe]

lols me too!

[Blonde401]

It's not a contest but I love being hourglass, it's my favourite and it's the more fun to shop for dresses in.

[zombiebabe]

i agree

[Zorax]

I like inverted triangle body shape, but my shape is a bit more like rectangle.

[zombiebabe]

nice

[ImaginativeDreamer]

That last one looks a bit fat, not quite athletic, it's more similar to Apple shape... but Inverted Triangle is the real Athletic.

[zombiebabe]

alright... n ur bodyshape?

[ImaginativeDreamer]

My body shape is average, medium, maybe Diamond.

[zombiebabe]

cool!

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Thanks :)
