Did you know that more than half of all women experience uneven breasts? In this article, we’ll guide you through a variety of bra insert options to help you find the best bra inserts for uneven breasts, ensuring both a perfect fit and improved comfort.

Benefits of Bra Inserts For Uneven Breasts

In a previous article, we examined whether bra inserts could balance out uneven breasts. We confirmed that they do, making them an excellent alternative to more permanent solutions such as surgery.

In addition to physically and visually “balancing” out uneven breasts, bra inserts have some other unexpected benefits to them as well. 

Here are some other key advantages of using bra inserts for uneven breasts:

 

  • Comfort: Bra inserts ensure that each breast is supported equally, reducing physical discomfort and strain. By balancing the weight more evenly, they help to alleviate stress on the back and shoulders, promoting better posture and reducing the risk of pain associated with imbalance.
  • Appearance: Inserts not only aid in creating a more symmetrical appearance, but they also can help you expand your clothing options especially when it comes to form-fitting tops and dresses. Expanding your wardrobe and increasing the variety of the tops you wear will help you stay "on trend" and enhance your overall style!
  • Confidence: It's well-known that looking good can significantly enhance your self-esteem. By achieving a more balanced and symmetrical breast appearance, diversifying your wardrobe styles, and enjoying increased physical comfort throughout the day, you'll naturally feel more confident and less self-conscious about how you look.

Now that we’ve established that bra inserts are a great option for balancing uneven breasts and have highlighted some of their unexpected benefits, let's delve into identifying the best bra inserts for uneven breasts.   

The Best Bra Inserts for Uneven Breasts

Here at Honey Cloudz, we’ve taken the guesswork out of finding bra inserts for uneven breasts. We’ve created the world’s first “hybrid inserts” that combine the top features of various bra inserts into one superior product. 

Honey Cloudz Bra inserts are:

 

  1. Non-Slip: Our grippy outer layer clings onto your clothing, not your skin.
  2. Water Durable: Our inserts are made to withstand chlorine and seawater and adhere in hot, sweaty conditions. 
  3. Lightweight: Made of lightweight yet firm material that holds its shape.
  4. Worn with, or without pockets: Can be inserted into bra pockets, or worn alone against the skin.
  5. Seamless (aka non-serged): Our bra pads feature a heat-sealed edge rather than a sewn edge, which eliminates any visible outline and helps prevent skin irritation.
  6. Comfortable: Our soft blue interior feels great against the skin.
  7. Inclusive: We have an extended range of sizing and skin tones.

When it comes to specifically addressing uneven breasts, Honey Cloudz has created a balancing solution collection that consists of a variety of our oval-shaped inserts. 

Let’s jump into how you can go about choosing the right oval insert for you!

Choosing the Right Inserts

When it comes to choosing bra inserts for uneven breasts, the decision-making process can be overwhelming. At the end of the day, only you know your breasts best, so start with what you instinctively think would work best for you.

Remember, there may be some trial and error involved, so you may want to order a few different styles at once, and then compare them side by side to see what fits best.

We recommend beginning with our Honey Cloudz’s Shop by Solution - Balance Breasts Collection which consists of our oval-shaped inserts that were specifically created to make uneven breasts appear more symmetrical. 

Our oval inserts differ depending on the cup size correction you need, as well as their thickness, whether they provide push-up enhancement, and if they have a flat back or not (flatbacks are ideal for those individuals with little to no breast tissue or for women who have undergone mastectomies).

Here is our Oval Reference Guide that shows how each oval differs:

 

When choosing bra inserts for uneven breasts here are the key steps to keep in mind.

 

  1. Assess Your Breasts: Begin by assessing your breasts. Take into account the cup size, shape, and density of your breasts. To ensure an optimal fit, take a look at your smaller breast and try to determine how much of a cup size it differs from your other breast. Once you have a good idea of the cup difference between your breasts, determine which oval shape is right for you.
  2. Choose Your Desired Level of Correction: Once you’ve determined the cup difference between your breasts, it’s time to select the Honey Cloudz Oval Insert that can best correct your imbalance.
  3. Select Your Color: You can decide whether or not you want your insert to match your skin tone or the color of the top you are wearing. Check out our color reference guide below to see the current skin tone options we offer:

Other Alternatives to Balance Asymmetrical Breasts

While there are other bra insert alternatives on the market, there are some pros and cons you should take into account. 

Silicone Inserts

Also commonly referred to as "chicken cutlets", silicone inserts closely mimic the look and feel of natural breast tissue.

 

  • Pros: Waterproof, durable, and comfortable.
  • Cons: Pricey, heavy, and can move around with sweat. Also, some silicone inserts can become sticky if not cared for properly. 

Foam Inserts

Foam bra inserts offer a lightweight, affordable, and versatile option for enhancing breast appearance with benefits like breathability and ease of maintenance.

 

  • Pros: Lightweight, affordable, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
  • Cons: Not waterproof, tend to wrinkle and crease, and lose their shape over time. Also, the outer stitching may be visible through clothing.

Like most things, finding the best bra inserts for uneven breasts will come down to trial and error since every breast is different. However, you have to begin somewhere!

We recommend starting with our oval collection which differs based on the desired cup size correction and consists of our Ovals, Oval Lites, Ovals +, and Ovals Extra. If you are not satisfied with the insert you chose and would like to try a different size or shape, you can return the insert within 30 days.
