Every body is beautiful
Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. That’s part of what makes each of us unique.

It’s important to know that there isn’t an “average” or “typical” body.

Some of us are curvier, some of us have narrower hips or broader shoulders — we’re all a little bit different.

Still, most of us can categorize our shape into a few broad categories.

For example, a 2004 study reported that descriptions of female bodies have historically been described in categories based on shapes, such as triangle, rectangle, diamond, oval, and hourglass.

Some of the most common general categories include:

rectangle
triangle or “pear”
inverted triangle or “apple”
hourglass
