Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure correctly?

Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest. Waist: measure around the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. Hips: measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks. Shoulders: measure across the back from shoulder bone to shoulder bone.

Can my body shape change?

Yes. Body shape is influenced by bone structure (fixed) and fat distribution/muscle mass (changeable). Weight loss or gain, targeted exercise (like building glutes or shoulders), and age-related hormonal changes can all shift your shape category over time.

Does body shape predict health risks?

The waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) has medical significance. A WHR above 0.85 for women or 0.9 for men indicates "apple" fat distribution, which correlates with higher cardiovascular risk than "pear" distribution. However, overall body fat percentage and lifestyle factors matter more than shape alone.
