Simply enter your bust, waist, and hip measurements, and in seconds, the tool will classify your shape as hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, or inverted triangle. You can choose your preferred units (inches, feet, cm, mm, or meters), and the calculator provides simple results along with clear guidance — no signup required, completely free.

Why Knowing Your Body Type Matters

Your body shape is more than just numbers — it affects fitness, health, and the way clothes fit. Understanding your body type can help you:

✅ Pick clothes that flatter your natural figure
✅ Create workout routines targeting specific areas
✅ Learn about your natural fat distribution
✅ Track shape changes over time with consistent measuring

Measurements You’ll Need

For accurate results, the calculator uses three body measurements:

Bust: Around the fullest part of your chest
Waist: The narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the navel
Hips: Around the widest part of your hips/buttocks

Supported Units

You can input measurements in:

Inches (in)
Feet (ft)
Centimeters (cm)
Millimeters (mm)
Meters (m)

How We Classify Body Shape

The calculator analyzes the ratio between bust, waist, and hips to identify your body type.

Body Shape	Description
Hourglass	Bust and hips are nearly equal; waist is clearly slimmer
Pear	Hips are larger than bust; waist remains smaller
Apple	Waist measures larger than bust or hips
Rectangle	All three measurements are similar, with minimal curve
Inverted Triangle	Bust/shoulders are significantly larger than hips

Formula Logic (Simplified)

Measurements are converted into centimeters, and we apply conditions like:

Hourglass: Bust ≈ Hips (within 5 cm) and Waist < 75% of Bust
Pear: Hips > Bust and Waist < Bust
Inverted Triangle: Bust > Hips and Waist < Hips
Rectangle: Waist = 75%–90% of Bust
Apple: When none of the above applies

Example Calculation

Input:

Bust: 90 cm
Waist: 65 cm
Hips: 92 cm

Result: Hourglass Shape (Bust ≈ Hips, Waist much smaller)

How to Measure Correctly

Stand straight but relaxed, without sucking in your stomach
Use a soft measuring tape
Measure directly on skin or thin clothing
Keep the tape snug but not too tight
