Body Type Calculator: Shape

Enter four measurements, bust, waist, high hip and hip, and Body Type Calculator sorts your figure into one of seven shapes: Hourglass, Bottom Hourglass, Top Hourglass, Spoon, Triangle, Inverted triangle or Rectangle. It also gives your waist-hip ratio, the waist divided by the hip measurement.

What you measure
• Bust: around the fullest part of the chest
• Waist: around the narrowest part of the torso
• High hip: around the top of the hip bones, above the fullest part of the hips
• Hip: around the fullest part of the hips and buttocks
• Inches or centimeters, switched with the button in the action bar

What the shapes mean
• Hourglass and Bottom Hourglass: a waist much narrower than the bust and hip
• Triangle and Spoon: hips wider than the bust
• Inverted triangle: bust wider than the hips
• Rectangle: bust, waist and hips close to the same width

Where it helps
• Finding your shape to compare with the size guide before buying clothes
• Tracking your waist-hip ratio over time with the same tape
• Starting a conversation with a tailor about fit
• Getting a rough number for a health check-in

Body shape is a rough category, not a diagnosis. Waist-hip ratio is one of several health indicators, so discuss your numbers with a doctor. Light and dark theme, 28 languages. The app is supported by banner ads.
