Understanding breast forms
Breast forms, also known as prosthetic breasts or breast prostheses, are artificial breasts designed to mimic the look and feel of natural breasts. They can be worn inside a bra or attached directly to the body using adhesive or a special pocketed garment. Breast forms come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, allowing you to choose the one that suits your individual shape, needs, and preferences. It’s important to note that the right breast form will vary from person to person, depending on factors such as body shape, personal style, desires, and budget considerations. Taking these elements into account ensures that individuals can make a choice that aligns perfectly with their unique requirements and preferences.
Different types of breast forms
When exploring breast form options, three primary materials come into focus: silicone, gel, and foam. Silicone breast forms stand out as the preferred choice, valued for their realistic appearance and tactile resemblance to natural breast tissue. Crafted from medical-grade silicone, these forms offer a personalized experience with a diverse range of sizes, shapes, and skin tones to ensure a customized fit.
Gel breast forms, exemplified by Pal’s breast forms utilizing a gel polymer, introduce another dimension to the selection. Pal’s breast forms, made from medical-grade mineral oils in the form of a soft-gel polymer, present a unique alternative. Although not as fluid or soft as silicone, they offer the distinct advantage of being virtually unbreakable. Priced reasonably, they provide an affordable option for users. Gel breast forms may lack the exact softness and movement characteristic of silicone forms. Additionally, they have the potential to absorb color from new or unwashed clothes, such as a new black bra, leading to discoloration. Despite these considerations, gel breast forms remain a noteworthy choice for those seeking diversity in breast form materials.
On the more affordable side, foam breast forms provide a practical option. Lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear, foam breast forms are typically constructed from soft foam or fiberfill materials. While they may not match the realism of silicone breast forms, their affordability and comfort make them a suitable choice for achieving a natural-looking bustline.
Choosing the right shape
Selecting the appropriate size and shape of breast forms is a crucial aspect of achieving a natural and comfortable appearance. Different body types call for specific shapes to enhance symmetry and complement individual proportions. Here are some key breast form shapes and recommendations for various body types:
- Oval shape breast forms: The oval shape is a popular choice among our customers, especially for first-time buyers. A regular pair of oval forms fits well in most bras, providing a natural and ‘passable’ appearance without excessive protrusion.
- Asymmetrical shape breast forms: These breast forms resemble regular ovals but feature an additional narrow tip designed to emulate the natural extension of ladies’ breasts beneath the arm. This detail, often overlooked, can significantly impact the fit of clothes. Worn either horizontally towards the side or diagonally toward the shoulder, the narrower tip contributes to a more natural appearance. Individuals with prominently broad shoulders in relation to their waist may find forms like our German Asymmetric Breast Form beneficial, as they help feminize broad shoulders through their added width.
- Triangle shape breast forms: These breast forms emulate the appearance of ladies’ breasts with added droop, often slightly exaggerating the protrusion for those seeking a fuller bust. Smaller triangles are versatile and complement both regular and pocket bras by filling them out effectively. When selecting triangles, opt for those with rounded corners for a realistic oval shape with a subtle protrusion, exemplified by forms like the Super Soft GL4000N. This style is particularly suitable for individuals with broader shoulders, as the extra protrusion aids in softening the overall look.
- Teardrop shape breast forms: These forms adopt a longer oval shape with a noticeable tail, primarily focusing on two variations of the Teardrop style. The regular teardrop, featuring a concave back, suits individuals with more flesh in the chest area. In contrast, the raised teardrop is designed for those desiring additional protrusion. The thinner end can be positioned towards the side, shoulder, or straight up for the optimal shape. The Tear Drop Breast Form GL3000N is specifically crafted for individuals with above-average flesh in the chest area, ensuring a good fit with the chest cavity due to its enhanced concave back. For those seeking a more prominent bust, the Affordable Teardrop Breast Forms are an excellent example of a raised teardrop that subtly exaggerates the outward protrusion, offering a ‘chestier’ appearance.
Considerations for skin tone and texture
To achieve the most seamless and natural look, it’s essential to consider the skin tone and texture of the breast forms. Many silicone breast forms are available in different shades to match a variety of skin tones, ranging from fair to dark. Some brands even offer breast forms with freckles, moles, or other skin imperfections to enhance the realism. Take the time to compare the available options and choose a breast form that blends seamlessly with your skin.
Additionally, consider the texture of the breast forms. Some breast forms have a matte finish, while others have a more glossy or lifelike texture. The choice of texture depends on personal preference and the look you want to achieve. Experiment with different textures to find the one that feels most authentic to you.
Breast forms on a budget
If you’re on a tight budget, there are affordable breast form options available. Foam breast forms, as mentioned earlier, are a cost-effective choice that still provides a natural appearance. These forms are lightweight, breathable, and easy to maintain. They can be a great starting point for those who are new to wearing breast forms or for everyday use. Due to their durability, they also are a great option if you want to wear your breast forms while sleeping. For those seeking affordable silicone breast forms, Glamour Boutique offers options starting at just $30. These silicon forms provide a realistic feel and appearance without compromising on quality.

These breast forms are meticulously crafted to resemble natural breasts in terms of shape, texture, and movement. They are often made with multiple layers of silicone, allowing for a more realistic bounce and jiggle. These high-quality breast forms can be quite expensive, but they offer the closest approximation to natural breasts.
