Your Breast Asymmetry Experiences Shared

Hey Breastie!

At Evenly, we know that breast asymmetry isn’t just a matter of measurements. It’s a deeply personal experience that affects people on so many levels, from confidence and comfort, to finding suitable clothing and pursuing intimate connections. That’s why we not only founded our non-surgical solution brand Evenly, we also created The Uneven Titty Committee™, a support group for anyone with uneven breasts - whatever the cause! 

When people join our free Facebook group, we ask the question ‘What is the biggest challenge breast asymmetry causes you?’ We thought it might be helpful to share the most common responses to shine a light on a topic which is still largely unspoken about and considered taboo (or as we like to say, taboob)!

1 - “Breast asymmetry affects my confidence because I feel abnormal.”

The most common challenge people have shared when joining The Uneven Titty Committee™ (or UTC for short!) is the impact that having uneven breasts has on their self-confidence. Many of our members have shared that they struggle with low self-esteem, body image issues, and even shame. Some members have described themselves as feeling "deformed," "unlovable," or anxious about how others perceive them, especially in intimate relationships and members have said they fear being judged or rejected. Every comment addressing a fear of being seen by partners or lovers has been met with supportive, reassuring examples and comments from those who have ‘been there - done it!’ We’ve lost count of the comments from new members saying they feel relieved to know they are normal and it really isn’t just them. 

Mental health struggles like depression, anxiety, and body dysmorphia are often part of the experience. However, knowing that  94% of breasts are uneven and that most people have some level of unevenness is a powerful piece of information which can help shift perspective. You’re NOT in the minority if you have asymmetry! A support group like The Uneven Titty Committee™ is not a place to receive professional help*, but what it does do is illuminate the fact that uneven boobs are completely normal. Peer-focused support becomes a safe space where people can say, “This is hard,” and hear, “Me too.” That sense of validation and emotional relief can be transformative.

*For those who would like to explore professional counselling around living with breast asymmetry and/or body image issues, we highly recommend Harley Counselling who can support anyone outside of North America through virtual 1-1 professional therapy.

2 - “I can’t find a bra that fits!”

We wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that HUNDREDS of people stated this was the main challenge they encountered with their uneven boobs. It’s such a common struggle, and the good news is that it’s fixable with the right knowledge and support. In the UTC so many members have shared their go-to bra styles and brands that have suited their different shapes and levels of breast asymmetry. 

Fit Tip: When shopping for a bra with uneven breasts, always fit well to the larger breast, ensuring all breast tissue is secured within the cup, without any bulging at the sides or ‘muffin tops’ over the cup. If there is slight asymmetry, choosing a stretchy fabric and/or tightening the shoulder strap on the smaller side can help. If there’s a larger gape in the cup, an Evenly Bra Insert can slip in to balance out the size and weight of the difference instantly - no fuss :) One of the perks of being a member is that you get a VIP discount promo code for use on Evenly products, and the team at Evenly is always available to answer sizing and product questions. Alternatively, why not book a bra and insert fitting with one of our Evenly-accredited fitters and stockists.

3 - “My child has asymmetry and I don’t know how to help them”

It’s not just people with asymmetry themselves who join these groups. Parents come seeking support for their children and teens where asymmetry may present in puberty as a result of natural developmental differences or conditions such as Poland Syndrome or unilateral Amazia . In some cases, they have already started on a journey exploring surgery or treatment and use the group to research and prepare. For others it’s for bra and clothing fitting tips, or how to best find a prom dress solution.

The UTC isn’t just about giving comfort, it’s also about community education and sharing resources and tips to make life just a little bit easier, empowering people to make informed choices, advocate for themselves, their families and help others.

4. “It’s a struggle when seeing doctors”

Some people who ask to join the UTC have asymmetry that is rooted in medical history, like post-surgical changes after a mastectomy or lumpectomy, or complications from congenital conditions like Poland Syndrome. Others are coping with back or neck pain, breastfeeding difficulties, or a lifelong struggle with not knowing if something is wrong with them or if their condition is harmless. 

Those who have been there and gone through a similar process can offer valuable insights, such as what to ask a doctor, how to advocate for a teen, or how to approach breast reconstruction, by sharing their own tips based on lived experiences.

5. “I want solutions to balance my asymmetry”

Breast asymmetry doesn’t just affect how you feel, it affects the everyday parts of how you live your life. Uneven breasts can impact the first thing we do each day, when getting dressed, with bras and clothes that never quite fit how we’d like. Finding swimwear feels stressful, and the bras that we try either gape or pinch (well - not now we know the tips above)! 

Members have shared how they have altered clothing and bras by hand, relying on makeshift inserts, or giving up entirely on certain outfits before they found Evenly, or the other solutions suggested by fellow uneven boob owners. What we’ve noticed is that in the UTC, these challenges aren’t weird - they’re common and considered normal by many people in a similar situation. People trade tips, recommend products, and share DIY hacks that actually work. Just knowing others deal with the same daily headaches can make them feel more manageable.

Did we miss anything? - This blog is simply a highlight reel of responses to our entry questions, and we know that despite common themes, it can still feel like you’re the only person who feels like you do. However, we can guarantee you don’t need to feel alone. If you’re dealing with breast asymmetry, we know you can understand why people gave the above answers. Asymmetry isn’t just about looks - it’s about how you feel in your body, your clothes, your relationships, and in your own skin. 

The Uneven Titty Committee™ is about finding your people. Whether you’re looking for practical advice for you, your teen, emotional support, or simply a place to be seen and understood, you deserve a communi-titty that gets it.

You’re not alone, and you never have to be.
