    i think im a pear and im mourning because i wrongly thought i was an hourglass all my life.

    waist 32
    breasts 38
    hips 41
    legs 25

    from the waist up im ok-ish even my tummy is ok and i have a flat non existant bum but my legs dont seem to get smaller!
    I would still say you are hourglass. bust and hips have to be close to the same measurement and it sounds like yours are. 3 inches is not much of a difference and as long as your waist is 10 inches smaller than your hips then you are hourglass shaped.

    no, because your bust has to be at least 10 inches larger than your waist.

    My measurements are 32-23-34. Before children I was 32-22-33. And my shoulder measurement is 34 inches (same as my hips/booty). By hip measurement is the result of my perky, round booty. But, in my experience the bust measurement can vary a bit with different stages in my cycles and childbearing years (but not a lot for me, basically around the same). I look similiar to before children, but not exactly the same. This is also true for aging in general, though. I need to get a proper bra fitting because I did misunderstand that as the band gets smaller, the cups also get smaller, so I assumed I was a different size than I am (I definitely need a 28 band because my measurement is 26 inches, but it's hard to find). I found a store, I just need to go there now. I really need to find a bathing suit that is made for petite xxs because I find them to be structured just overall too big for my frame size and feel very uncomfortable to me because I need to tighten them down and they are just positioned incorrectly on my body and the cups are too wide set.

    I love my big booty, sturdy legs, and small chest and waist.

    I believe in socks! :D

    I lose weight up top first, always. I remember I told my sister in law once that I was a sad fat girl with no boobs. Ha! Needless to say, I'm at a better place now in regard to my self-image... Peary and loving it.

    I have been telling myself I am a pear for a long time now. But I am starting to think I am not really one any more. It doesn't seem to be the case when I look in the mirror (Apx: 34H-34-45). My shoulders have widened a bit, so now they look pretty even with my hips. My bust ranges from 2-4 inches smaller than my hips depending on the week.

    dito - u r not alone! - my profile pic was just a few weeks ago on vacation - i didnt feel comfortable taking off my wrap - because i was so self conscious of how my hips/butt/thighs looked - it makes me feel so fat :( but i decided to put it as my profile pic to remind me of how i felt then and hopefully be a motivator to workout - hoping one day to feel more confident and rock that bikini -lol :) Good luck on your journey as well :)
    chest 34
    waist 25
    hips 38

    I'm pear shaped too (see profile pic). I can easily get flat abs with a couple of days of super healthy eating, quads are like rock from squatting and kettlebell but the saddlebags and just-under-the-butt fat will not shift!

    Being pear shaped has it's advantages though- many would love to have a flat stomach or toned shoulders- it's just the luck of the draw. Swings and roundabouts and other cliches.

    Fellow pear -- but honestly I like it! In fact, I was deluded into thinking I was an hourglass until I read the measurement differences required to be deemed a "true" hourglass :wink:.

    I'm 5'0"

    32" chest
    26" waist
    36" hips

    I have wide hips but a flat butt do I still count as a pear? When I gain weight it goes to my thighs. I have an A to B cup when skinny a perfect 24 inch waist with my hips being 37.6 inches at the smallest. I had skinny thighs too. They were 16 inches. My shoulders were 32 inches. My arms were 9 inches around. As you can tell the only big part of me were my hips. I had prominent thigh gap. All signs I was skinny. When I gained weight I gained all over. I got D's almost DD's a 30d-dd. I had lovehandles and my natural waist was 27 inches flabby. My hips got much more fatter saddlebags 43" and thunder thighs with cottage cheese were 24". I gained 32 lbs. I've lost more of it now and have a 25 inch waist it's not perfect but a lot more fit than before my hips are still very wide and the problem spot for me at almost 39". My boobs shrinked again and are now a C to D cup 28 C-D cup. Which is equivalent to a 32A to B cup. My thighs are thicker than they used to best 18". I don't know if this makes me an hourglass bottom heavy or pear tbh.

    Likely pear. But it really depends on how your shoulder width compares to hip width.
