First breast size. What it looks like, photo

When buying bras or exploring one’s body image, it can be useful to know that breasts come in a wide range of sizes. The first size, also called "A cup" in most bra sizing systems, is one of the smaller breast sizes. Even though the volume may be lower, this is totally normal and depending on one’s personal style and wardrobe choices, it can even be flattering.

Many are curious about the exact appearance of the first breast size and how it stacks up against other sizes. It’s crucial to keep in mind that every person has a different body, so even among people of the same size, breast shape and appearance can vary.

This post will discuss the typical appearance of the first breast size, include useful comparison photos, and provide advice on selecting bras and outfits that work best with this size. Knowing the differences in breast sizes can boost your self-confidence, whether you’re just curious or seeking style guidance.

Breast size	Description
First size	Small, often described as more petite. Appears flatter and less prominent under clothing.
Photo	Images show a slight curve, but minimal fullness compared to larger sizes.

A small, natural bust that normally fits into an A-cup bra is referred to as one’s "first breast size." It looks different based on body type and is quite normal. Since many women of this size are content with their natural appearance, it’s critical to emphasize that beauty exists in all forms and dimensions. To give you a better idea, we’ll examine what the first breast size looks like in this article with examples and photos.

What the 1st breast size looks like and how to measure it

An attractive, elastic bust that superficially resembles a medium-sized apple characterizes the first breast size. You can wear anything, even very revealing clothes, because small mammary glands with this structure have minimal relief, a pointed shape, and good elasticity that does not disappear over time.

The first size bust is typically associated with slim and slender girls, but it can also accentuate a larger frame; it is, however, totally inappropriate for large hips.

The first-size mammary glands are classified into three categories based on their shape:

1. "Lemons", looking in different directions and having a significant distance between each other.
2. Snow hills, distinguished by a pointed shape and snow-white skin against the background of dark nipples, which gives the breast such a name.
3. A bee sting, characterized by a minimal volume, but at the same time a beautiful and elastic shape that does not change over time.

A measuring tape and some basic math can be used to help a girl determine the size of her first breast.

With a measuring tape, you ought to:

• measure the volume of the mammary glands in their most protruding part (on the nipple);
• determine the circumference of the body under the chest.

After receiving both values, you should calculate the difference in a special table by subtracting the second from the first. The first breast size, denoted by the letter A, will measure 13–14 centimeters.

Advantages and disadvantages

Although a bust like that appears extremely tidy and delicious, the first breast size is often the cause of an appearance complex.

Mammography experts state that these large mammary glands are not only painless but also have several benefits over more rounded forms, such as:

1. The ability to choose any comfortable sleeping position, since a small bust does not prevent a girl from sleeping on her stomach.
2. Ease of choosing underwear and clothing that not only helps emphasize a slender body, but also, if desired, adds the desired roundness to it.
3. Absence of back pain and a tendency to develop atypical neoplasms.
4. The ability to lead an active lifestyle and freely engage in sports, in a comfortable, tight-fitting bra.
5. Absence of age-related ptosis and deformation of the mammary glands due to pregnancy and breastfeeding.
6. Increased sensitivity of the breast and nipples, allowing a woman to get maximum pleasure from intimate caresses.
7. The ability, if desired, to slightly enlarge the bust and add piquancy to it with the help of a bra with a push-up effect.
8. Absence of problems with establishing breastfeeding.
9. The ability to go without underwear and wear tight-fitting clothes without looking vulgar.

A size 1 bust has several benefits, but it also

• may cause a girl to develop an inferiority complex due to the stereotype imposed by society about the beauty of large breasts;
• significantly limits the selection of clothing models with a deep neckline, which look spectacular only on girls with a voluminous bust.

How to choose underwear

When selecting undergarments that offer adequate support for the mammary glands, special consideration must be given to the initial breast size. Despite the widespread misconception that girls with small breasts can live without underwear, experts say that this is not a good idea. Optimal support will prevent the breast tissue from sagging, enabling you to keep your neckline looking beautiful for a long time.

The first size breast is denoted by the letter A in the underwear manufacturers’ table. Additionally, you should consider the mammary glands’ structural characteristics, specifically their distance from one another, when selecting a bra.

The following bra selections are the best for small breasts:

Classic model	It is chosen for normal breast placement and has dense, molded cups that hide the nipple, which perfectly support the bust and give it a beautiful shape.
Push-up	The most popular bra model for this breast shape, featuring thick pads that lift and push the breasts upward, thereby giving them additional volume.
Underwired	A bra of this shape provides the mammary glands with optimal support, but should be selected strictly according to size, since otherwise the bra will only press on the breasts, leading to circulatory problems.
With a clasp between the cups	Ideal for widely spaced mammary glands, providing them with a beautiful shape and support.
Soft	Designed only for small breasts, provides good support, while not squeezing the mammary glands at all.
Seamless	A very comfortable model for everyday wear, completely invisible under clothing and providing good support to the breasts.
Bandeau	In its structure, the bra resembles a wide band without cups and straps and is ideal for clothes with open shoulders. This option is not recommended for everyday use, as it does not provide the necessary level of support.
Bralette	A soft bra without cups, but with an elastic band that provides good support for small breasts. Made of lace material, this bra can also be used as a top, in addition to skinny jeans.
Silicone	This model is made of silicone and has no straps or cups, and is attached to the chest due to the adhesive layer applied to the inside. The presence of a front clasp allows this bra to slightly shift the center of the mammary glands, creating a beautiful hollow between them. This shape is suitable for open evening dresses.

It is best to select a bra without first trying it on because

1. Its band should fit tightly to the body, not ride up and allow you to stick only 2 fingers between itself and the body.
2. The cups should be completely filled, and no more than 4 fingers can fit between the shoulder and the strap.

Both Russian and international brands manufacture bra models for first-size breasts, with the following being regarded as the best:

• Milavitsa;
• Victoria’s Secret;
• Intimissimi;
• Agent Provocateur;
• Damaris;.

How to choose clothes

The first breast size is typically seen in small girls with delicate bodies, giving them the appearance of naive teenagers. In this instance, stylists tell girls not to worry about their shapes because they think that any clothing will highlight their flawlessness.

If a girl has small breasts and a standard figure or curvaceous hips, she will have trouble choosing clothes. Here, stylists counsel girls to follow the principle of forming a harmonious silhouette by appropriately adorning their clothing to accentuate their breasts.

Dresses

Wear clothing with voluminous appliqués, pockets, flounces, and ruffles on the chest in bright or pastel colors to visually enlarge the upper body. An empire-style dress would also be perfect, featuring a high waist and gathering beneath the chest with an elastic band or ribbon. An evening gown may feature an asymmetrical feature, like one shoulder or sleeve, or a deep V-shaped neckline that falls a little lower than typical.

Girls with small breasts will look good in dresses with dropped shoulders and voluminous frills or decorated with a horizontal stripe.

Not advised:

• Tight-fitting dresses that require voluminous shapes;
• Flat, rectangular dresses;
• Black outfits, with the exception of the "little black dress".

Blouses and sweaters

The upper body will gain additional volume from the following:

• Knitted sweaters and sweaters with large knitting decoration, voluminous contrasting appliqués and inscriptions made on the chest;
• Blouses with ruffles, flounces, a second row of buttons and pockets on the chest;
• models with a round or V-shaped neckline;
• asymmetrical one-shoulder blouses.

Not advised:

• clothes in black or an outfit made in the color scheme "black top – white bottom";
• vertical striped print;
• blouses with an open neckline decorated with ruffles;
• blouses with a square neckline or puff sleeves.

Sporty style

For girls with small breasts, sporty tops, T-shirts, and crop tops are perfect because they let them flaunt their bodies without appearing garish. These styles can be paired with slim jeans and worn without a bra to balance the upper and lower bodies.

The placement of the print on a T-shirt is important to consider because large letters, flowers, or other images will draw attention to the neckline. Because there is a chance of total loss of shape, monochrome clothing is not recommended for people with small breasts. Girls with a breast size of one should also avoid wearing oversized clothing models because they hide the body and give the figure a baggy, rectangular appearance.

Outerwear

With its ability to camouflage noticeable figure flaws and give extra volume to the upper body, puffy outerwear is perfect for those with small breasts and a thin build.

Visually, the bust can be made larger by:

• voluminous fur collars;
• jackets and coats with a belt;
• clothes made in the style of the 60s of the last century and having a flared skirt resembling a bell.

Accessories

Numerous collars, necklaces, and scarves will highlight the bust and give it a few extra centimeters in appearance. A large belt that sits just above the waist will accentuate a small chest to perfection.

Breast augmentation surgery

The first breast size is a small, well-groomed bust that does not change with age but frequently leads to the development of complexes. Girls are forced to turn to plastic surgeons because of the fashion for a large neckline and voluminous bust dictated by modern beauty standards.

One of the most common surgeries in Russia is augmentation mammoplasty, which is carried out by the majority of Russian aesthetic medicine clinics.

Numerous surgical types exist:

Lipofilling	Injection of the patient"s own fat into the breast, taken from the abdomen, thighs or buttocks.
Endoprosthetics	Requiring the implantation of a silicone implant filled with gel or saline solution into the mammary gland. Having an anatomical or round shape, such an implant is installed in the mammary gland or under the breast, and over time it lowers slightly, masking the surgical suture.

Under general anesthesia, augmentation mammoplasty takes 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. Prior to the procedure, the surgeon uses computer 3D modeling to visualize the patient’s ideal breast size and shape.

Although there are no specific indications for mammoplasty, the following situations are where doctors advise surgery:

• small breast size;
• asymmetry of the mammary glands;
• loss of bust shape after surgery, injury or breastfeeding.

Contraindications to breast augmentation:

• immune and endocrine pathologies;
• the appearance of malignant neoplasms in the mammary glands;
• diabetes mellitus;
• blood clotting disorder;
• psychiatric disorders.

Following a mammoplasty, there is a 4-6 week rehabilitation period, and after six months, the operation’s outcome can be evaluated.

Surgical intervention cost:

In Moscow and the Moscow region	280-300 thousand.rubles.
In St. Petersburg	220-250 thousand.rubles.
In the regions of Russia	from 150 thousand. rubles.

Non-invasive methods of breast augmentation

Surgery is not the only way to increase the size of your breasts. While non-invasive techniques for breast correction do not yield immediate or permanent results, they also do not cause discomfort or require a lengthy recovery period with a lot of limitations.

Special diet

Herbs and products containing phytoebrane have a positive impact on women’s health maintenance and help stimulate the growth of the mammary glands. With continued use, phytoestrogens from chamomile, hops, cereals, carrots, cabbage, grenades, and soy crops saturate the body and gradually transform into female sex hormone, which helps to enlarge the breast by one or two sizes.

The volume of the bust is more dependent on the amount of adipose tissue, which are able to slightly increase the polyuns and mononaturated with fatty acids: goods:

1. Linseed oil. Contains linolenic and linoleic acids, vitamins and minerals and can be used both for frying and as a salad dressing.
2. Legal cultures. Filled with phytoestrogens and protein and should be part of soups and salads.
3. Rice, corn and oats are used to prepare cereals that contribute to an increase in the bust.
4. Peaches, cherries, strawberries, raspberries and apricots stimulate the production of their own estrogen.
5. Beets, cabbage, eggplant, pumpkin and potatoes are filled with plant phytoestrogens.
6. Hop cones, oregano, fenugreek seeds and fennel are used to prepare herbal decoctions, creams and elixirs and promote rapid growth of the mammary glands.

Following such a diet for a minimum of two years is advised by mammologists, as it improves the health of women overall as well as the condition of the breast.

Physical exercises

With a carefully chosen set of exercises, you can slightly enlarge and tighten your mammary glands. Strength training should focus on strengthening muscles rather than building new ones because muscle tissue only gives the breasts a lovely, elastic, and toned shape; it has no effect on the volume of the breasts.

The three visual components of the pectoral muscles are the upper (which defines the bust beautifully), the middle (which provides elasticity), and the lower (which gives the bust its round shape).

To create a beautiful shape and slightly increase the volume, you need to load all 3 zones, carrying out:

• classic push-ups, wall push-ups and parallel bar push-ups;
• dumbbell press and flyes lying on your back;
• dumbbell swings forward and to the sides.

You must exercise on a regular basis. At the very least, one should engage in strength training every four days. Daily lighter exercise is recommended.

Breast cream

Herbal ointments with phytoestrogens, vitamin and mineral supplements, plant extracts, and aromatic oils are 100% safe and can help you see long-lasting benefits if used consistently. In addition to tightening the skin, massaging creams into the skin 1-2 times a day will increase the bust by 1-2 sizes, giving it a lovely and alluring shape.

Pills

Drugs for breast augmentation fall into two categories:

1. Oral hormonal contraceptives containing estrogen, progestin and prolactin.
2. Various vitamin and mineral supplements.

Medications used in obstetrics and gynecology practice are included in the first group. These medications are used to treat a variety of pathologies as well as to prevent unintended pregnancy. One of their side effects is swelling of the mammary glands. Oral contraceptives have a transient effect on hormone levels, which can temporarily increase bust size. However, they should only be used as prescribed by a doctor and under close supervision.

The second category of goods consists of herbal powders, drops, or sachets that have phytoestrogens and isoflavones, which are comparable to the chemical makeup of female sex hormones. Regular use of these medications normalizes hormone levels and helps you achieve a stable increase in bust volume without negatively affecting your body’s overall health.

Stars with 1st breast size

Some Hollywood celebrities that openly promote the beauty of their natural forms and refuse to alter their bodies to fit stereotypes are known for having first-size breasts.

Michelle Pfeiffer

The Hollywood icon has consistently supported the advancements in plastic surgery and has had a number of rejuvenating operations performed on her breasts, but she has steadfastly refused to alter their shape.

Supporters have frequently expressed gratitude to the "cat woman," who has come to represent the pinnacle of sexuality, for taking such a stand. This has helped them avoid becoming victims of stereotypes and persuade others that a modest bust is actually quite attractive.

Gwyneth Paltrow

The Oscar winner and well-known Hollywood actress is rightfully proud of her physique and doesn’t cover up anything about it, even her tiny bust.

Gwyneth proves her statements by shining on the red carpet at 40 years old in skimpy dresses with low necklines, appearing in half-naked videos, and serving as the face of the Coach and Estee Lauder brands.

Charlize Theron

For over two decades, the stunning actress has been regarded as the epitome of elegance and beauty. She was also a sought-after model for Christian Dior and John Galliano.

The actress, who has declined plastic surgery, openly flaunts her small bust in dresses with deep, extremely revealing necklines, proving that she is not above fashion.

Kendall Jenner

Kim Kardashian’s sister and supermodel is regarded as one of the most attractive and well-paid fashion show participants.

Ideal for clothing models from the world’s top designers, a slender beauty with long legs, a fit body, and small breasts does not support her sister’s passion for large sizes, preferring minimalism in everything.

Cara Delevingne

Known for her striking eyebrows, the model was the muse of the late Karl Lagerfeld and is regarded as one of the most beautiful stars in the fashion industry. Cara’s obvious advantages—her perfectly slender body and small bust—got her the title of "one of the sexiest women on the planet" and "model of the year" in 2013 and 2014.

First-size breasts: a petite, well-groomed, and incredibly attractive bust that resembles an elastic medium-sized apple. These mammary glands, which are resistant to aging, make women look amazing in tight outfits and provocative necklines. They also let girls wear anything they want to wear—even nothing at all—without worrying about coming off as obscene or provocative.

Although the first breast size is among the smaller cup sizes, it is nonetheless perfectly normal and attractive. Breast size is not a defining factor of femininity or beauty; body types differ. Although each person’s body develops differently, feeling confident and at ease in your own skin is what matters most.

It’s also critical to realize that a variety of factors, including age, hormones, and lifestyle choices, can cause changes in breast size over time. Therefore, what applies to your body now might not apply to it tomorrow. Accept the changes and look after your well-being.

In the end, having confidence stems from loving and accepting your body, regardless of its size. Every body is different and should be cherished, regardless of size—it could be a first size or larger.
