Body Shape Calculator – Discover Your Body Type

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered whether you have a pear shape, an apple shape, or perhaps an hourglass figure? Understanding your body type isn’t about labels — it’s about knowing your proportions. With the Body Shape Calculator, you can find out your natural shape using simple measurements of your bust, waist, and hips. This helps you make smarter choices in clothing, fitness, and even overall health goals.

Why Knowing Your Body Shape Matters

Your body shape is more than just appearance. It can guide you in:

• Fashion: Picking clothes that flatter your proportions.
  
• Fitness: Setting realistic goals (e.g., strength training for balance, cardio for waist reduction).
  
• Health Awareness: Certain body types are linked with higher or lower risks for conditions like heart disease or diabetes.
  
• Confidence: When you understand your body, you focus less on comparison and more on balance and health.
  

What You’ll Need to Enter

The calculator works with just a few numbers:

• Bust (cm): The fullest part of your chest.
  
• Waist (cm): The narrowest part of your torso, usually above your belly button.
  
• Hips (cm): Around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
  
• Gender: Body shape categories differ slightly between men and women.
  

How the Body Shape Calculator Works

The calculator compares the ratio between your bust, waist, and hips to determine which category you fit into.

Common Body Shapes for Women

• Hourglass: Bust and hips are almost the same size, waist is clearly smaller.
  
• Pear (Triangle): Hips are larger than bust and waist.
  
• Apple (Round): Waist is wider compared to hips and bust.
  
• Rectangle (Athletic): Bust, waist, and hips are fairly similar in measurement.
  

Common Body Shapes for Men

• Rectangle: Shoulders, waist, and hips have similar widths.
  
• Inverted Triangle: Broad shoulders, narrower waist and hips.
  
• Oval: Waist is larger than bust and hips.
  

Step-by-Step Example

Let’s say a woman enters these measurements:

• Bust: 92 cm
  
• Waist: 68 cm
  
• Hips: 94 cm
  

1. Compare bust to hips: nearly equal (92 vs 94).
   
2. Look at waist: significantly smaller (68).
   
3. Result → Hourglass body shape.
   

Now, for a man:

• Bust/Chest: 104 cm
  
• Waist: 94 cm
  
• Hips: 100 cm
  

Broad chest, slightly smaller waist, fairly even hips.
Result → Inverted Triangle.
