What Causes the Different Types of Butt Shapes?
Your skeletal structure is the foundation of your body’s shape. The distribution of fat and muscles on top of it determines your overall shape. Your pelvis determines the shape of your buttocks. Next is your fat distribution, which is heavily genetic.
Glute training is not a popular option for many people. The glutes are usually underdeveloped and muscle doesn’t contribute much to body shape.
While males and females have different butt shapes, this article will concentrate on the differences in the butt shapes of females.
Female buttocks types
There are 5 types of butts around the world and each style has an appropriate underwear option.
Square or H-shaped
Your hip bone and outer leg are perpendicular to each other. If your hip bone is straighter than your outer thigh, it’s likely that you have an H-shaped or square butt. This shape can be characterized by prominent hip bones, “hip dips”, or fat on the flanks (or what some refer to as the “love handles”)
Proper underwear style: If you are, you will want to avoid wearing underwear that rides high. Instead, choose boy shorts, bikinis, or thongs. Low-rise jeans are best avoided. Higher-waisted pants may be more comfortable.
Inverted or V-shaped
Your butt will take on a “V-shaped” appearance from behind if the line between your hips and pelvis curves inward. This is a common shape for women with very narrow hips and broad shoulders.
Proper underwear style: Bottoms that provide enough coverage for your cheeks are the best for you. A V-shaped butt can make your eyes look sagging. Make sure that your underwear is designed to fit the bottom of your buns.
Heart or A-shaped
Women who are “pear-shaped” tend to have A-shaped butts, which widen below their hip bones.
The pear or heart shape, also known as the “pear” shape, is the most feminine of all the butt shapes. This is due to fat distribution around the lower part of the butt and thighs.
This gives the body a tapered appearance from the waistline down to the bottom of your butt (hence “A” shape, or “upside-down heart”)
Estrogen is the main reason for fat storage around the butts and thighs of women. As we age, Estrogen levels may decrease, which can cause fat to be stored around the abdomen, midsection, and butt.
Let’s not forget about aging, and let’s see why this butt is so much loved…
Proper underwear style: You will find the best bottoms for A-shaped butts. High-cut, wider-legged underwear styles are more comfortable because they have larger leg openings.
Avoid styles with elastic-edged legs, which can make them uncomfortable and binding, and stick with tangas and bikinis or boy shorts made of stretchy lace or seamless, laser-cut edges.
Round, bubble, or O-shaped
This is a simple one, but you may have seen it on J Lo, Queen Bey, and Kim Kardashian. You can achieve a rounder butt by strengthening your butt muscles. This will give your backside more projection without having to have surgery.
Commonly referred to as bubble butts due to their round appearance, a round butt shape is characterized by a fat distribution around the cheeks of the butt – including the upper portion of the cheeks, which causes a rounded effect when viewed from behind. The round or bubble butt is in the shape of an “O” or “cherry-shaped.”
You need to choose the best bottoms: If you have a round butt, make sure there is enough fabric in the back to provide full coverage.
Otherwise, your underwear can shift backward, which can cause the front waistband to drop and lead to a frontal wedgie.
Thongs and tangas as well as boy and girl shorts with four-way stretch, a central back seam, and – in a perfect universe – ruching along those seams are great for contouring your cheeks. For more coverage, size up.
Upside-down heart-shaped
The upside-down-heart-shaped butt is round but thanks to gravity, droops down. It curves towards the outer hips but has more volume at the lower hip.
You will find the best bottoms for your body: If your hips and butt are full and your buns are low, then high-cut leg openings might not provide enough coverage to your cheeks.
You can choose to wear shorts, boy shorts, hipsters, or bikinis that have a lower leg opening. For a more saggy look, ensure your underwear’s leg openings are cuffed at the buns. This will give the illusion of a lift.
What are the Different Types Of Butt Shapes For Men?
Sorry guys, the area of men’s butt shapes is a bit behind the women’s information. So, I don’t think there are any categories for men’s butt forms like there are for ladies – at least not yet.
Men’s butts are different from women’s. This is due to many factors (skeletal frame, muscles, and fat distribution).
You won’t often find a man’s butt that looks like a woman’s. Although male butts are more capsicum-shaped and have less volume, I’ve noticed some more round or fatty ones. I won’t be able to expand on this topic until later.
However, I will soon update this article with more information for the guys.
