No two butts are created equal, and if you’ve ever looked around at the variety of bottoms are out there, it shouldn’t surprise you to learn that there is such a thing as different butt shapes.

Knowing which butt shape you have can be important because you may not have the butt that you want right now.

Knowing where you stand right now, and comparing this to where you want to be, is critical when it comes to setting goals and developing a plan to achieve them. Creating your best butt ever is no different, so let’s get educated!

Butts – they come in all kinds of shapes and sizes!

What Causes the Different Types of Butt Shapes?

Your skeletal structure determines the main framework for your body shape, and the overall shape that you end up with is determined by the distribution of fat and muscle on top of your skeleton. For the butt, the main factor which causes the particular shape of the buttocks is your pelvis, followed by your fat distribution which is largely genetically determined.

female pelvis and buttocks

In general, for most people who do not do specific glute training, muscle does not contribute a lot to butt shape as the glutes are generally underdeveloped in most people.

Females and males obviously have very different butt shapes, but this article will focus mainly on the different types of female butt shapes.

Where Do ‘Butt Shape’ Categories Come From Anyway?

Just so you know, no, I’m not making these things up! The whole categorization of something as obscure as butt shapes seem to originally come from the cosmetic surgery field.

Cosmetic surgeons dealing with procedures like buttocks augmentation, liposuction and the like ended up categorizing most women into one of these 4 main butt shape categories.

That’s not to say that there aren’t more types/categories, but these are the ones that seem to be most widely recognized.

Some say there are additional shapes, but sometimes it’s best just to keep things simple, so we’ll cover the main 4 in this article.

What are the Different Types of Butt Shapes for Women?

Most plastic surgeons recognize four main shapes when it comes to the female derriere:

  • Square – “H” shape
  • Round – “C” or “O” shape
  • Heart/pear – “A” shape
  • Inverted – “V” shape

What butt shape are you

Picking Your Butt Shape

With reference to the pictures above, you should be able to pick out one of the butt shapes that resembles your own. Don’t be too concerned if none of these matches the way your butt looks exactly – they are meant to be used as a guide only and the sheer amount of variation in the human body means that not everyone will fit into predefined categories.

The Square “H” Shape

This particular shape is caused by either higher more prominent hip bones (you may even have hip dips), or a distribution of fat in the ‘love handle’ area. The overall effect is that the butt looks square shaped and is closer to appearing as a straight up-and-down right below your waist, rather than tapering to the waist with a smooth curve.

So let’s see what this looks like in pictures…

The H-shaped butt below is due to bone structure of the pelvis and femur (thigh bones):

Classsic H-shape, due to a little bit of fat distribution in the ‘love handle’ area – with some hip dip:

Another H-shaped butt, again due to a wider pelvis which means the waist doesn’t taper towards the butt as smoothly:

You can see why these kind of butts are likened to a square shape:

The Round “C” or “O” Shape

Commonly referred to as bubble butts due to their round appearance, a round butt shape is characterized by a fat distribution around the cheeks of the butt –  including the upper portion of the cheeks, which causes a rounded effect when viewed from behind. This shape often sits high when viewed from the side, and is usually quite perky and full.

Let’s take a closer look at some C or O-shaped butts!

You should be able to see why they are called ‘bubble butts’ from this fine example:

Another perky bubble butt:

As you can see, O-shaped butts have a lot of volume in the cheeks and the sides of the butt:

The butt below could almost be a H-shape, but its got a lot of fullness in the cheeks and is perky, so I’m going to deem it a round O-shape!

The Heart/Pear “A” Shape

The heart or pear shape is generally considered to be the most feminine of the butt shapes, and is a result of fat distribution around lower portion of the butt and thighs. This results in a more tapered look from the waistline to the bottom of the butt (hence the “A” shape or ‘upside down heart’ description).

Fat storage around the butt and thighs in women is caused primarily by the hormone Estrogen. Unfortunately, Estrogen levels can decrease as we females age, which can lead to fat being stored around the abdomen and midsection instead of the butt.

Aging aside, let’s take a look at why this butt is very much admired…

Got curves? The owner of this heart-shaped butt does:

This round and bubbly butt could almost be an O-shape, but I think the waist tapers into the butt more like an A-shape, giving that classic heart shape:

Another A-shape; you can see how fat stored on the outer thighs just below the butt give an overall heart/pear shape here:

There’s not a lot of junk-in-the-trunk on the petite booty below, but it’s another classic A-shape:

And below we can see why many think this shape looks the most womanly!

Inverted “V” Shape

The V shape is more commonly seen in older women as lower estrogen levels result in the shift of fat storage from the butt to the midsection. This can result in an inverted shape where the base of the butt is less full than the top of the butt. Perhaps because of this, this butt shape is also associated with sagging.

Let’s see some examples…

There’s not a lot of volume at the bottom of the butt in this V-shape:

The inverted shape or V-shape butt has a lack of volume in the outside part of the lower butt cheeks:

This butt looks like a subtle V-shape to me, though it’s a bit hard to say because the hands are in the way:

The booty below could almost be a H-shape, but the lack of volume in the lower half of the butt cheeks makes me think it’s closer to an inverted V:

What are the Different Types of Butt Shapes for Men?

Sorry guys, but the area of men’s butt shapes seems to be very much behind (no pun intended) when compared to how much information there is on women’s butts.

As such, there don’t seem to be categories for men’s butt shapes like there are for women’s – not that I’ve come across yet anyway.

Men’s butts are inherently different to women’s – due to a whole host of reasons (skeletal frame, muscles, fat distribution), you don’t typically find a guy’s butt that is shaped like women’s.

Male butts tend to have a more ‘capsicum’ shape to them and are typically lacking in volume, but I have also noticed more fatty/rounded ones out there.

Until later, that’s all I can expand in this area, but I’ll be updating this article soon with some more info for the guys!

I’ve Determined Which Butt Shape Type I have. Now What?

Presumably, everyone wants a better-looking butt (if that’s not true for you, what are you doing on this site?)

You generally have two three routes you can take here if you want to optimize the way your butt looks:

  1. Put in the work to improve your butt through exercise and nutrition
  2. Give the illusion of a better butt through better clothing choices
  3. Get butt surgery

This site was created to help you primarily with options 1 and 2 above, not so much number 3 (which in my opinion should be treated as an absolute last resort). You would be surprised at how much change you may be able to create with some lifestyle changes – and the bonus is that good nutrition and exercise will improve your overall health and usually quality of life too!

Now that you know your butt shape, you’re in a better position to start creating the changes you want to your butt. Check out how to shape your butt to determine what you can do to create a better shape for your butt, as well as the best butt exercises you should be doing for your butt type in order to create a more rounded, visually pleasing shape. Or, try something like the Brazil Butt Lift program to get a more lifted and generally all-round (pun intended) nicer butt!

By performing the right kind of exercises, you can improve the shape of your butt. The good news is it’s hard to go wrong here – in general most butt exercises will have a good effect on the aesthetics of your butt.

This list of home workouts for the glutes is a great way to get started. There is no shortage of exercise programs for the butt out there, but if you do have particular kinds of goals or are hoping to accentuate some areas more than others, then it’s possible that some  exercises may be more suited for your goals when it comes to boosting up your rear.

After a Quick Fix for your Butt Shape?

Not keen on sweating it out over weeks or months to try and build up your butt, and after an instant fix instead? No problem, there are products out there for you!

While I am more about butt-building exercise as a quality, natural and permanent solution for improving butt shape, I understand that it may not be for everyone (though I sure will try my hardest to convince you!).

Recent butt-trends (yes, I recently discovered this is a thing) have been all about getting a bigger booty/peach, but it may be possible that since 2018 the big butt trend is starting to lose steam.

I’m still one to advocate having a nice juicy booty, so if you are wanting to boost your butt then here are some options:

There are specialty undergarments out there which can make your butt look great – check out these padded panties for women or padded underwear (for the men), which will have your butt looking it’s finest the moment you pull a pair on. It might sound silly, but they actually do look pretty good on and it’s very easy to become a believer (lol).

Otherwise, did you know that you can get jeans which can make your butt look better?

There are also things like ‘magic leggings’ that can really flatter your butt. These types of clever garments are simply the best for flattering what you’ve got with little effort required.

 

Does your butt shape fall into the above categories, or did you have trouble classifying your butt type? Let me know how you went in the comments below.

      Hey Asaf, I’ve been meaning to do a post on this in the future. There is not as much information out there on visual appearance of the butt for men, mostly because it’s not as popular for men to seek surgical measures to improve the appearance of their butts (though many do). I will keep you posted.

            Sounds like you have the inverted V but are trying to soften the blow with mixing Round in there. Not trying to be mean but my exe would do the same thing. She has the H shape. There is no mistaking it. But she liked to say hers was between H and heart shaped. Maybe she wanted to mix the two because of the H in both.

            Also I would comment on the general opinion that men like the big ass look. In many pictures I have seen and noticed on the street most of the big asses are not very attractive and I think they need to come equipped with a back-up warning flasher and a beeping noise if not a flagman to prevent anyone from getting sucked into the crack. Nightmares of a big ass over a period of time that has accumulated cellulite due to the extra amount of fat cells so as time goes by it looks like someone beat that ass with a bag full of loose nickels. Not a good sight unless you are making your approach with the lights off.

            Thanks for the male perspective newhon, it’s always interesting to hear a guy’s thoughts. Just goes to show that not everyone is after the big butt look.

            In my opinion, I feel like you can certainly get a mix of two shapes, but to be honest the whole shape classification system is just a guideline anyway. People shouldn’t be too worried about trying to figure out exactly what shape they are. H shapes are characterised more by being a bit ‘square’ but there are butts that also tend to round out at the bottom too (hence the mixed A/H shape classification). Classifying into shapes is very subjective and depends on who is doing the judging, something people should keep in mind!

            Hey there, some days you just need to have a good vent hey? I used to talk this way about my body too, so I totally get it. But reading your comment made me realize how much I’ve changed from that toxic place (and I hope that you can too!). I’ll tell you what helped me – not that my body changed, but my perception changed. Some things you can’t change – but the one thing you have complete control over is the way you think about things. I know this is probably going to sound like a cop-out, but it’s actually easier said than done, so I challenge you to try it. What you focus on, you magnify. So instead of focusing on how your legs and butt maybe don’t look the way you think they should, try appreciating them for doing what they do. I bet they benefit you in way more ways than you think – walking, moving, running. Don’t take these functions for granted! I bet a person who hasn’t got the ability to do these things would absolutely kill to have your legs and functioning body. Try to focus on that rather than the things you don’t like, and little by little I hope you’ll find your perception and feelings will change for the better. Of course that’s not to say you can’t try blasting your ass with some killer butt exercises in the mean time too!! Lots of love, Jolie xx

            Hi Kya, sucks to hear you’re not feeling confident on account of your butt. I have got to tell you though, in my experience not every guy likes big butts (though that can seem like the case if you’re looking for confirmation of that) – there are definitely guys out there that prefer small butts, and all kinds of different shapes too, some find hip dips sexy too (that definitely blew my mind because I’ve always thought my hip dips were unattractive)!!
            I hope you can find some info on this site to try and make the changes you’d like to see in your butt – for example, you may be able to boost your butt size by putting on more muscle in your glute area. But, ultimately that shouldn’t be a prerequisite for liking yourself or having good self confidence. Our aim at this site is to promote doing the best with what you’ve been blessed with, and then figuring out how to love and be grateful for that no matter what it looks like!

I have a bubble butt, and I want a more of a Heart shaped waist to go with it but I’m too skinny and have really small rectangle hips. ALL my fat seems to want to go to my legs and in my butt. How could I gain a little in my hips but still shape it? I know I’m confusing but I’m not too got with words. ?

          Hey Tanzanite Angel, it’s a little difficult to understand exactly what shape you are starting with, but try checking out this post on glute anatomy and it might help you to see which muscles you should work on to improve your shape the way you want! I also have the same problem of fat going straight to my lower half, unfortunately sometimes you can’t fight genetics so you just have to do the best you can – I’d suggest trying out some of the butt exercises in this post and see how your body responds… good luck!

        I don’t know how to comment so I just hit reply but I think I have a v shaped butt. My family always make fun that it looks like I’m sucking in a fart. My family have nice round heart shaped butts so it makes me very insecure. I’m a little overweight but I’ve been working ok that with some success. So I was wondering if there was any specific workouts I could do to change my butt shape to an almost heart shape?

          Hey there, that sucks that your family have made fun of you like that! I don’t have much experience with the V shape, but maybe it would be worth trying something like Strong Curves, there are heaps of good exercises and routines in there for butt-building in general. I think that in most cases, just working the glutes in general should help round out your shape. No harm in taking the ‘try and see’ approach! Good luck 🙂

        I prefer the A shape because I love how it looks like a heart when a women bends over. I still have a hard time understanding why it is I love that shape so much but I just do. The V shape is the only shape I do not find appealing but all the other shapes are nice too I just like the heart shape the most.

          There are so many variations in what people find attractive. Thanks for sharing your preferences! It’s really awesome for us females to know that not every guy is into the ‘ideals’ that media promotes (the thing that stood out to me in what you shared is that you’re attracted to massive breasts). Ladies, take note: here is a man who likes something other than western culture’s norm.

We are a different type of A. We are thicker more athletic build so our legs are a are also thicker and muscular. I consider that to be beautiful and our men as well. The term built like an amazing Amazon or a Stallion would be my description.

        Thanks for your feedback Jeanne! Unfortunately, it’s actually kind of difficult for me to find images of people’s butts that I have permission to use on the site, so this is why it’s hard for me to include as diverse photos as I would like to!!

        i would have to agree. i doe’t really know why any one would ever rate it .it most definitely in the eyes of the beholder and the if the person that sits on the butt is good with it, then its a perfect butt.

          Hi, pansexual cis-man here. Honestly the shape doesn’t matter to me, I just like it small and tight. When their muscles carve out the shape, that’s super sexy to me. That said, there are men who love big buts with a lot of fat too. So I think ladies shouldn’t worry, whatever your build is, there is a guy out there -or lady, if that’s your preference, who likes it. Focus only on having the build you personally want, and the people who like it will naturally come.

      Hmm… I have an hourglass (29, 23, 29, I’m 13) I know I have a curvy butt, not to mention guys (of course my age… I think) are constantly STARING at my butt when I’m talking to them -_-. I look at their eyes and I’m thinking “Dude…………………………………………….my eyes are here.” But, do I have a bubble butt or a heart butt? Would My hourglass affect that shape? I’m not sure that the fat is distributed at the bottom, more of at the middle. Guess it kinda… pops out. But I believe I’m leaning towards the heart shape.

      XD, Ooooook, I’m posting… tun tun tun tun tun TUNNNNN

        Haha, thanks for sharing Not Insecure! To be honest everyone is unique and these categories are more guidelines than anything… so not everyone fits so definitely into one or the other! It’s quite possible to be a mix between two categories. Perhaps you are a heart-shaped/bubble butt hybrid? That’s a great combo to be!

      i have a severe pelvic tilt and i can from certain angles appear to have an o or c but i know its an h because its high on my back i arrived here because at a size 5 i have a deflated rear but size 8 a huge butt but then a pouch. I’m trying to figure out because i don’t believe influencers who say their butts are real with no waist at all if it is how is that achieved

    Hi! I’ve recently become aware of the shape of my body and I’d like to reshape it through exercise. I have a very tiny frame, but I’m also curvy because of my hips/love handles. Due to this though, I have an “H” shaped teeny tiny butt. I was reading about the exercises and the links you’ve posted, but I also need to ask how many times a week do you recommend I do these exercises?

      Hi Kate, lucky you – most women would love to have your tiny frame and still be curvy!

      Regarding your teeny tiny butt, building this up a bit is totally possible. I too have a H shape due to prominent hips/love handles and I feel your pain! It’s true that a large proportion of your butt shape is dictated by fat storage, but muscle volume also does play a part, and it’s this part we can influence. The exercises I post are ones that I’ve found to target the glutes, but coming up with a specific workout plan to tie it all together can be a bit more tricky, and I must admit, not something I have posted much about so far.

      One important factor with working out to build muscle is to allow for enough rest breaks for your body to actually rebuild. You also need to ensure you are getting enough fuel (in the form of a nutritious diet), sleep and stimulating exercise in order to grow muscle. There is no one correct way and a lot of this is experimenting with your body to find out what works best for you.

      I really would recommend the book “Strong Curves” by Bret Contreras to you, as it talks about muscle building (specifically for a bigger booty!) in more detail, is aimed towards beginners yet does not gloss over details, and also includes several workout plans that could get you started. Have a look and let me know what you think! A second product that might suit you is Gluteus to the Maximus. Both are geared towards getting a bigger butt through building up your gluteal muscles.

      Aside from these books, a more general recommendation from me would be to workout every second day or so, to allow for your muscles to recover. If you’re training to build muscle mass, in general you want to be doing low reps with heavier weights.

      To fight that H-shape, try to include exercises that will work the sides of your butt to round out your shape from your love handles a bit – for example: curtsey lunges, clamshells, fire hydrants, L-sit side lying leg raises. At the same time, if you are able to reduce those love handles (though I fully understand how stubborn they are!!!) this will also help to round out your shape so your waist transitions nicer to your butt.

      Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions!

    I used to have a “heart” shaped bottom, then I gained 80 lbs. It’s more “h” shaped now – it’s awful.

      It’s so fitting how they have called it ‘heart’ shape because people seem to love that one so much.

      I feel your pain with your current “H” shape – in most cases it’s those ugly ‘saddlebag’ areas above the hips where fat gets stored that makes this shape. And if you happen to have wide and high hips, your actual pelvis can accentuate this even more, even if you don’t have a lot of extra fat.

      But hey, you’re actually very lucky! The fact that you used to have a heart shape butt means that you have the right bone structure and genetics for a lovely shaped butt if you work at it (and I have no doubt that you can get back to that if you come up with a plan to drop those extra pounds!)

        I can’t really tell if I have an H or A shaped butt, I store a lot of fat in my lower cheeks and my thighs but then in the upper part of my butt it looks sorta Hish… Everyone says I have a big butt and it does have a lot of fat in it and muscle. I do 200 squats a day 4-5 days a week but haven’t really gotten into other exercises. Mine looks most like the first picture in the A butts.

          Hi Jill!

          It’s pretty common for some people to have a butt shape that is a combination of the main types, so you’re probably a A/H combo from what you’ve described. I have the same kind of shape and in my opinion this shape can tend to have hip dip.

          That’s awesome work with the squat routine, sounds like you’re very consistent! Doing other butt exercises can help if you feel you’ve reached a plateau with your current routine, since the body can easily get used to whatever you throw at it.

          It can be good to mix it up to give an extra challenge. I really like glute bridges, kickbacks, and donkey kicks. These will work even better for you if you introduce some kind of weight, and use the principle of progressive overload to keep the muscles challenged!

      Hi Nora,
      Thanks for the feedback, I was not aware that these categories don’t suit African American women very well – they are based on 4 different shapes that many plastic surgeons have come up with. I guess they may not often have to do cosmetic surgery on African American women because there’s already a lot of beautiful butts in this group (here’s me being jealous) that don’t often go for surgery!

      I’ll keep an eye out if I can find any more information in this area. Thankyou!

        I find it very rude, offensive and envious that white women think that African American women would not make the list. Maybe you thought a African would read a articlein the first place. First of all, we are majority of this list except for that H-shaped figure. ???? You white women have no shape what so every, no ass, no curve, nothing. So I think you all would have to go find a category for body types such as that. Just my opinion. African women are known for our beautiful shapes and curves. So I advice you white women to go do your research. But on second thought you should know because a lot of you get plastic surgery to look like us anyway. 😉

          This reply was incredibly unintelligent and added nothing to this conversation. Nowhere in this post did the author mention that black women wouldn’t make this list. Believe it or not, black women in all their magnificence are, in fact, women and women, regardless of color, were assessed by body type and four categories were determined.

          And what’s with all the reverse racism in your post? Because I know if there was a comment made about how black women wear weave to have the hair that white women have on a different types of hair post, there’d be riots in the street.

          Oh and by the way, I’m Latina. We’re different sides of the same coin, sweetheart and you even offended me.

          It seems like these 4 categories that were developed by plastic surgeons certainly do break down sometimes. As stated in the article, not everyone will fit into a predefined category though, we’re all human and have different bodies after all!

          I am not sure who made the original comment about African American women not fitting these shapes, but that’s a huge generalization, which I don’t necessarily agree with. I’m glad you’ve expressed an opposite opinion here because it shows that there is no ‘one-size-fits all’ approach.

          I have to say I definitely agree with you – African American women are well known for having beautiful curves and awesome butts. I do still think that anyone can improve the way their butt looks through a healthy approach (diet and exercise), regardless of their starting butt shape though! Hopefully surgery is an absolute last resort.

            First off, a really good cataloguing system for female butt shapes ought to be able to encompass nearly all of the shapes that occur (excluding any specifically caused by medical abnormalities or injury). Second, there ought to be clear enough distinctions between categories to allow for consistent differentiation. Some plastic surgeons list the four types you have articulated, but others use five, basically dividing your “A type” into “A type” and “Inverted heart,” the latter being somewhat fuller at the base than the former. You are right that no one type is exclusive to any racial or ethnic group, but one type or another can be more prevalent in a particular racial or ethnic group. You are also right that some butt shapes mix characteristics of two categories or fall at the boundary between the two and are therefore difficult to precisely categorize. That said, four categories do not really adequately cover the range of possibilities that exist. You stated in one response that you had a hard time finding examples of large butts that clearly illustrated one of the four categories. If there are many examples of butts that do not readily fit into the categorizing system, that is a problem with the system.

            a big bum does not belong to a black women that’s just a women thing even if it’s much more common among black women you both are human beings. And I hate to put my sister in a bad position but she asked for this but black women are trying to look like every other women but themselves when they wear them wigs. And this normal hair thing? If it does not have patches in it, if the hair is not falling out it’s normal. Just because her hair is naturally nappy or curly do not make it any less normal that’s that white washing bull that make them feel so ashamed they feel they need to wear a wig to sub-come to this normal…

          Um, I understand the anger, but I think the insults are a little harsh & unnecessary. However, I do think there need to be more examples of plus-sized women (no matter the race) to get a better generalized POV of our butt type. I’m a black woman with a large bottom (& boobs , lol) & am overweight for my height. But, I do believe I fit either the H or C butt type as best as I can determine.

            Unfortunately I found it very difficult to find images of plus-sized women’s butts on the internet that I could include as examples in this post! Which in itself made me a little annoyed that this whole population of women are underrepresented.

            I agree though, I would definitely have liked to include pictures that were representative of more sizes and shapes to help support people in determining their shape. I am glad you’ve been able to take the information given and still take a guess at your shape. Great stuff!

            My man loves to brag about the heart shape of his former woman of over 10 years. They never married. Just food & sex & food & sex. He said she didn’t have boobs, but loved that heart shaped but. She was a nymphomaniac & was in charge of the sex. He never gave her a cent. She was the giver. I hate his stories.

            I always thought the breasts were the focal point. Then my guy said he loves Heart shaped buts, no boobs. Bragged about all the nymphomaniac sex with a heart but & no boobs. Makes me sick.

          Lmao, ever heard of a certain lady named Christina Hendricks? I bet she has a much better figure than you do. No one is trying to look like you. Objectively speaking, it was Latinas like Jennifer Lopez that started the craze for larger, rounder butts. There is such a thing as having TOO much butt and a lot of black girls fall under that.

            … LMAO I love Jlo but no she did not start that it was something men just liked mostly black men in which mostly black women had before they fell from grace and when other women like Latinas and white women suddenly started becoming more curvy due to the current American diet. I remember the days when the standard was the thin frame women, that changed because black men popularized the hell out of it. Before then these type of women wore considered fat but the culture went through a shift and because black women wore always extra around the edges it was normal to black men even when some white men still to this day do not like women with curves this is deemed normal to black men because we have always seen this from childhood to adulthood. We pretty much changed the culture with our over embracing and promoting it through many forms of media and women just picked up on it and started owning it. Pretty much started with black women first, then Mexican women then white women and Asians are pretty much next to make this leap.

            This reminds me of the whole twrek thing, twerking is so damn old and it was practiced in the afro American community all the way back in the 90s but no one but us knew what it was until Mylie Cyrus popularized it. Even in many of our older music videos and early 2000s only black people talked about twerking through their music, no one else knew what it was and pretty much did not know it existed.

            I love my Latinas because they are some of my favorite kind of women but they did not start the curvy women campaign, black men did that. We promote what we like boldly and I am not proud of everything my people promote but that might be one of the things I am glad we did promote.

          Why are you so angry? There are plenty of white women with beautiful curves. Just look at Scarlett Johansson, Kelly Brooks, and Iskra Lawrence. They’re all beautiful curvy white women. So when African Americans get weaves, relaxers, dye their hair blonde, wear colored contacts, and bleach their skin they aren’t trying to look like us? Stop being so hateful and jealous and learn how to appreciate the beauty in all women instead of putting people down.

        Yeah gotta agree.
        As an actual African, I am aware that our bodies deposit fat diffently.
        That in Caucasians, just as large breasts irregardless of body shape and type is more likely us black women can have varying body types and shapes yet still have a perkalicious behind. That doesn’t quite answer the question of shape for those of us trynna body sculpt via the type tailored workouts linked here.

          Good feedback Chipo. Although there’s no clear-cut answer and it might be hard to categorize your starting shape, I think that when in doubt just pick a few of the butt exercises and try them out. For people in this situation, try checking out this post on glute anatomy which can help you see how the butt is actually structured and from there you can work out which muscles you might want to try and target. Basically, building your own customized work out plan to try and target the areas which need work the most!

      Hi June!
      I’m really glad you’ve joined the challenge to shape your butt through exercise – here’s a warm welcome aboard 🙂

      Having clear goals is a great start! It’s very hard to say what is achievable as everyone is different. For example, without seeing you, your H shape could be due to fat or due to the bone structure of your hips, or a combination of both. Your skeleton is not really changeable, but your fat distribution is something we can work with.

      However, one thing is certain – you can always try your hardest to shape your butt with exercise and you will see some improvement for sure, even if that’s just a fuller butt and shedding any unwanted extra pounds.

      Many people forget about the butt when it comes to exercise. Since it is so often underworked (as a muscle group), it’s extremely surprising what some good butt-targeting exercises can do to your behind. I mean that in a good way!

      I would recommend starting out by making sure you can activate your glutes properly (many people can’t). Glute bridges and clamshells are a good place to start.

      If you haven’t already, check out this article that explains a little bit more about shaping your butt with certain exercises. Try and work your way up to these so that you can actually feel your butt muscles doing the work, not any surrounding ones. Good luck!

          Butt-focused exercises (working your way up to hip thrusts after you have mastered glute bridges) with heavy weight should be your goal if you are trying to exercise for a bigger butt June.

          Check out Strong Curves if you’re new to weight-lifting. It is an awesome book and all about booty-building, one of my favorites. It also has a heap of workout routines if you’re stuck for ideas.

          If you’re really eager, you could also try butt-enhancing supplements like Gluteboost – I haven’t tried these before, but if you’re going to try any of the butt enhancing pills this would be my recommendation. It may help when used in conjunction with exercise!

          I feel your pain with the love handles – that is just stubborn fat that doesn’t want to go away! Haven’t got any magic bullets for that yet, though the butt exercises should hopefully help as a nice side-effect!

    Hi, is there a way to send pics to get a better determination of our butt type in order to perform the correct exercise? Nothing graphic, just a generalized idea.

      Tekechia, one way to get a specialized opinion would be to organize a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon, these first consultations are often complementary. You’d have to be careful not to get sucked in after that though, because some practitioners may be pushy!
      I would be happy to offer a comment if you’re comfortable sending pictures through, but I am not a professional, and my opinion would just be based on my research behind this article. Find my details via the ‘Contact’ page on the site.

    Whats wrong with the H shape? Its pretty close to the O shape and if you work out H shapes look like O shapes anyway.

      Nothing wrong with a H shape, I think it’s just less popularized in the media. Everywhere you look it tends to be all about having a round or heart shaped butt, so many women aspire to this rather than the H shape. It all comes down to personal preference though.

      You definitely can get rounder shape with exercise as you’ve pointed out!

      Hi Tani,
      I haven’t done too much research into this before, but my initial thought is that this may have something to do with hormonal changes after pregnancy. Do you think this might be a possibility? A change in hormones can affect the locations where fat is naturally stored (for example, estrogen tends to encourage fat storage around the hips and butt). You may be able to raise this with your doctor to see what they think.

      The good news is that you’ve had a O shape in the past, so we know it’s possible for you! Butt building exercises will help bulk up your glute muscles and add some shape, but it sounds like the changes you’ve described are to do with fat distribution changes. A product like Gluteboost butt enhancing pills may help, but everyone reacts differently, so it’s hard to say if you will see results or not.

      Are you on hormones for your transition? Extra estrogen should help your body start storing more fat in your butt area which should help you to be closer to a A-type shape! Otherwise it might be worth checking out supplements like Gluteboost or butt-enhancing underwear to create the look you are after in the meantime. Good luck!

    Hi! I’m pretty sure I have a H-shaped butt, but like so many others I’d like it to be round or heart shaped. Photo: http://s21.postimg.org/es0pdztx3/Full_Size_Render_1.jpg (will delete it after getting a reply, don’t want my ass on the internet LOL)
    I know my H-shape can’t be due to fat (I just did the body analysis and my body fat is only 13,7%, extremely low due to extreme muscle mass – runs in the family – Latin). Hips 37inches, waist 26 and my legs are very strong (I can leg press 240kg at a 45 degree angle ), but my butt is still square. HELP!

      Hi Maria, your photo URL didn’t work for me but if you’ve got a H-shaped butt it may be because of the shape of your pelvis and hip bones.

      You sound like you are pretty fit so it is unlikely to be due to fat, but be aware that some people do tend to store fat in odd places on their body, even if they have an overall low body fat percentage! Take a ‘pinch test’ and see if you can identify any fatty areas at the ‘corners’ of the square shape – that may help you to work out the cause. If there’s no loose flesh there, then it’s most likely going to be just the shape of your skeleton. Unfortunately not a lot can be done to change this, but you can try building up your butt muscles to accentuate the roundness of it, and try to draw the eye away from any squareness! Let me know if you have any other questions, I’ll do my best to help!

    to me H shaped bum is also nice not many people have a defined waist line or curvy waistline, women who tend to have an H shaped bum have defined curvy waist line, those love handles make the waist appear curvious, the disadvantage of the H shaped bum is that it has to be full to look good as for heart shaped even if small it looks good. so i can say h shaped looks better on plus size women than slimmer ones

      Hi Greenelad, I’m sorry to hear that you’re not too happy with your shape. I don’t know if it could be caused by injections when you were young, but maybe you can still work on trying some butt exercises to see if it will help to fill out your butt shape a little better. Exercise is free to do, so there’s no harm in trying! Good luck and let me know if I can be of any more help at all.

      By the way, you could also try butt padded underwear to help round out your shape. It’s not permanent, but it is an instant fix and sometimes can offer a much-needed self esteem boost! 🙂

      Hi Patrycja! It’s so cool how the internet has connected us with you all the way over there in Poland! Thanks for stopping by. I wouldn’t say that’s unfortunate about your butt shape – don’t forget everyone has their own preference, and some people find this shape pretty sexy! However, I think it’s great that you want to improve what you’ve got. For exercises, try heading over to this article, How to Shape Your Butt. V-shapes are a little tricky, but try and focus on doing exercises which you can feel working the lower part of your butt muscles. You could also take up glute bridges – they are one of my favorite ‘must do’ butt exercises, that really can help make your butt rounder and a bit bigger in size too. Hope this helps!

    Hi! I’m a bit conflicted to what my butt shape is….
    So I began lifting barbells/Dumbbells for around 6 months and my Glutes area muscular and toned and I think look very nice from the 3/4 and side profile… However from the full profile it looks kinda weird?? My right butt is more rounded out and has more of a rounded bubble shape but my left butt has a tiny bit more fat on the upper hip and looks kinda ridged and dipped compare to my right butt…. It’s not a big significant difference but I want to know is there a way to even out my hips and make my left side more rounded and appealing? Also upper hip exercises would be very much appreciated bc I can’t find any of them >.<. Also is a heart shaped butt possible for a high hipped girl? I'm high hipped so my ideal expectation of a toned perfect butt is a round O shaped butt but is there any high hipped heart butt? Ty!

      Hi Zoe! Great stuff with the barbell and dumbell work, in my opinion these are a must for building glorious glutes!
      You sound a little similar to me, I have quite prominent hip bones/high hips and it makes my shape look a little strange from the front or back directly.

      It can be possible to round out at least somewhat. For an example, check out this amazing glute transformation – notice how her butt rounds out a bit nicer at the top in the ‘after’ photos? Just goes to show what is possible with the right exercises.

      Regarding your difference in shape on right versus left sides: is it possible that you might have a muscular imbalance? You could try single side exercises to isolate/work your glute muscle on each side individually. It should become obvious if one side is weaker than the other, in which case always train your weaker side first, then just match the same number of reps/sets on the stronger side. Eventually the amount of reps on the two sides will converge as your imbalance corrects itself.

      In terms of exercises… I would recommend these for you (they can all be done one side at a time): hip extension, donkey kicks, straight rear leg raises (these three are all quite similar but they give a really good burn!), L-sit lying side leg raises, fire hydrants, clamshells, one-legged glute bridge. Do yourself a favor and master the glute bridge first before progressing to the one-legged version. For your upper glutes, you could try seated band abductions. I hope I have not given you too much here, but experiment, pick two or three that you like and see what works best for you!

      Sometimes people can fit across more than one type, so a combination O/A is definitely possible! If your bubble butt sits a little low then that does sound like you could have features of both an A shape and O shape!

      There’s not much information that I can find about male butt shapes (whereas the 4 ‘main’ butt shapes in this article have come from plastic surgeons, but seem to be aimed towards the female body).

      Hi Ella! Thanks for stopping by. I don’t anyone who has changed specifically from a V to O/A, but I do think it’s possible to build up some serious booty muscles which may help give you the rounder shape you are looking for (as well as some nice projection from the side)! For an example of how exercise can help change your butt shape, check out this butt transformation – although she’s not a V to begin with, it’s pretty impressive. For building up the sides – try some of these: L-sit lying side leg raises, side lunges and clamshells. I think donkey kicks, froggy glute lifts, or hip extensions might benefit you as well. And in my opinion everyone should master the glute bridge regardless of their starting butt shape.

      Hi Sandra! It’s a bit tricky to specifically target fat loss in one particular area, especially if your body likes to store fat there. That doesn’t mean you can’t try though! In your case trying to target the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles along the sides of your butt (check out this post to see where these muscles sit) may help add a bit of volume to the top part of your butt and draw the eye away from your outer thighs. Definitely try clamshells or seated band abductions. I would also recommend learning how to get good at the glute bridge exercise – when you do this exercise with weights it can help you build a bigger butt with more projection. This in itself may have the effect of kind of ‘lifting’ up the skin and fat in your outer thigh area. It might be a case of ‘try and see’. Good luck and I hope this helps!

I suggest you check out a post I wrote earlier on how to approach your partner about working out and follow the tips there. The main key is to make her want to exercise for herself, and remember that you can’t force anyone to do anything they don’t want to.

      Ana, don’t speak like that! The first step to getting a nice body is not hating it, I promise you. Try and spend some time thinking about all the things you appreciate about your body instead of focusing on parts that you don’t like. It will make it much more of a pleasure to exercise and also give you self confidence (just having confidence in yourself is enough to make you much more attractive).

      From your measurements you certainly aren’t overweight, you have a healthy BMI. If you do want to lose a little bit of extra weight, you could try something like a low-carb diet, but I think more importantly try to do something you enjoy. Another good place to start is with the free 30 day butt lift challenge – try it and see if you like it!

      Good luck, remember to love yourself, and congratulations on your upcoming marriage!

      Hi Mery,
      You’re totally right that not everyone fits exactly into just one shape category!

      Being 15, you might find as you get older that your body starts to distribute fat around your butt in a different way, so just give your body some time and see how it turns out! That’s awesome that you’ve started working out, if you stick with it and are consistent, you should definitely see some results. Some leg and butt exercises can help cellulite (for example straight rear leg lifts, hip extensions) and so can things like massage, skin brushing or foam rolling (try this article on cellulite for some more advice).

      For trying to shape your butt, I would recommend learning and mastering some basic butt exercises. My favorite right now is the glute bridge, once you get the hang of this, you can try it with a heavier weight and it is excellent for helping round out and shape your butt!

      I can’t say I’ve ever come across anyone who wanted to go from an A to a H! I think it might be pretty tough to try and do this naturally and I’m not sure if you really could… as a long shot you might be able to try to ‘bulk’ your upper glutes, but I’m doubtful this would be able to cause a drastically noticable shape change. Check out this butt anatomy post to see some visuals of the different muscles in your butt that you have to work with, and you should be able to get an idea of if increasing the size of any particular muscles might help change your shape.

      Sorry I can’t be of more help, but I will just point out that A shapes are very highly regarded and I’m sure a heap of people would be jealous of your butt as it currently is!

    Hi, I have an H shape but my issue is less too much or too little fat and more about how i can move it down? I’m not overweight at all, nor am I rail thin, but i lost a lot of muscle since I stopped exercising this past year due to a stressful and busy schedule but i plan to get back into it. Even though it will help significantly round out the butt itself, I don’t want to loose too much fat because my goal is to be physically strong and flexible yet not look like a man. I don’t have much fat to begin with and I do have a relatively thin waist, but my high hips and love handles counteract the image and its not great. I just want to get stronger and stay curvy enough to still be a woman (lol) but lose the love handles and fat on my fanny pack area. HELP?!

      Hi Sophie,
      It sounds like you might be describing a little bit of a ‘hip dip‘ feature, but I feel like I totally have the same issue as you! Unfortunately as far as I know it’s either extremely difficult or maybe near impossible to locally ‘spot shift’ fat from one spot to another. I also have higher hips and a little bit of fat stored in the love handle area – my main way to try and fight this is to keep building the rest of my butt (don’t be scared about getting to bulky or looking like a man – you’d have to train an insane amount to achieve this, it’s not something that just happens) – hopefully that will help round everything out and draw the eye away from the love handles haha!

      Other things you might want to consider are maybe non-invasive spot reduction fat treatments for the love handles, I am not too sure if they work or not but I have heard of Volufiline (a cream that claims to help fat grow where it is applied – be wary it may be a scam) and another one is something like cool sculpting for fat reduction. I plan on looking more into these kind of treatments in future posts hopefully!

      Hi Kisela,
      I must complain about your use of language first of all girl! Ugly is not a good way to describe your butt – remember that the first thing you should really do is start to love yourself and your body. I know it sounds stupid, but this really is key to accepting yourself as you are and I think you’ll also be able to get better changes with this kind of mindset.

      V shapes are a little more difficult to shape in my opinion, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do! I would suggest just trying to build a bigger butt overall, as this may help to round out your butt and draw the eye away from your V shape that you aren’t as happy with. First exercise to master would be glute bridges, but also try froggy glute lifts as they seem to really target the bottom part of your butt. If you’re new to butt exercises, try one of our challenges and see if you like the results! From there you can always build to a proper butt workout program if you like!

It’s not really possible to ‘spot reduce’ fat, generally the order where your body tends to store fat is the order in which it comes off as well. But a full-body weight loss can result in reduction of fat from the stomach (as well as other areas). Keeping the muscles in that area toned (by doing crunches, planks or any other core exercise) can help as well.

      Hi Patricia!
      If you’re not sure you can always just take some before and after pics to help track your progress!
      For people who aren’t sure I recommend my staple favorite butt exercise (which to be honest will help any butt shape) – glute bridges!

    Hello
    I wanted to thank you for the article, I am a black Latina woman who has a beautiful shape even though my shape is very different than the shapes you have examples for. I find it helpful and interesting and I think everyone in every color, race, nationality are beautiful just the way we are! We should ignore all the negativity. Let’s build each other up? have a wonderful year and I hope we all have much success in trying to have the shape we each desire.. Peace and love to everyone ?

    I will respond as a guy and a butt lover first. I think almost all butts are beautiful. Although there are categories that help, there are as many different kinds of butts as there are women. You should be proud of what you have. It is the smile, positive attitude and the constant desire to improve on the almost perfect that makes a man’s heart swoon when they look at what goes along with these sweet butts. No matter your race, age or size, it is a package deal. Now, I have to head to the gym and do some squats so you all don’t outshine my gender…lol…

    Holy crap, I just realized the post started in 2014! I’m a Latino man and was with a white skinny woman for 15 years with a butt shape that could possibly be classified as “round”. I appreciated that shape. However, since then, I’ve been with a Latina with a big beautiful body and behind, you’d have to put all those four butts together to approximate that ass!!! I thought that I was not attracted to “big” women, but gotta say that for me the added cushion everywhere feels great!

    The point is Ladies, don’t worry too much about the shape you have and accept yourself. Anyway, when someone loves you, they’ll appreciate you and all you have to offer—the same goes for men!

    That’s just my opinion anyway.

    For some reason, I feel like my butt is a mixture of both the H and A shapes. Like, maybe a regular triangle, not and inverted one…if that makes any sense. Are some people a mixture of two shapes like that?

    I think I am a square shape butt. I feel like it is not attractive at all. I mean, I’m not as flat as most of the square shape images. I have quite of a good butt but it is not as noticeable in a square shape as it would be in a round or pear shape. I love dimples in my friends’s faces, but not on the sides of my ass-cheeks. Is it possible to “fill” those dips on the sides of my ass-cheeks? Thank you!

      Hey Kyra, I know exactly the dimples you mean – they’re common for us ladies who have a square-shaped butt, but if you also have hip dips, it can make them even more noticeable. If you check out my post on hip-dip, I cover a few types of exercises that may help with filling in the dips, but it really depends on your body’s anatomy whether or not it will help much… I hope this helps a bit, but don’t forget to focus on the parts of your butt that you do like!

      Hi Chidmma,
      There are a few things you can try – dressing down your assets is the easiest one (for example, wearing looser or longer tops that can help hide your butt, or loose A-line skirts which flare out to hide your booty). It’s a shame that you feel like you have to hide your butt, but I think I can understand why you would want to, if it is causing you to draw attention which might make you feel uncomfortable. The only other thing I can think of is to specifically not work out your gluteus muscle groups if/when you exercise.

        I have been self conscious about my butt shape for most of my life, I’m a slender male with an A or heart shaped butt, but for the most part I have gotten really nice compliments on it, mostly from women…

        I do a lot of hiking, and some glute activation exercises but not always consistently.

        When considering long term partners I don’t consider their butt size or shape very much, it’s more about personality compatibility than body shape, but I would prefer some physical fitness, neither flat nor V shaped, a round, toned butt definitely turns heads.

          I agree with you that a person’s butt shape shouldn’t be a deciding factor in a partner, but if they happen to have a great booty, that’s just another positive thing to appreciate about them!

    Basically if you have anything OTHER than a V-shape, you’re gonna have plenty of men who are attracted to your butt. Sorry V-shapers, I know it sucks, but that’s just reality. The good news is AT LEAST you can do exercises to change it, at least somewhat…whereas short men can do NOTHING to improve their height.

          I think butt shapes for guys are quite a bit different than women, and to be honest I haven’t seen any categorization for male butt shapes (maybe I should create one on this site?).
          You’re right, it’s more common for guys to have a flatter butt, so the rounder shapely one you describe is probably a nice asset to have!!

            Yes I have to agree having a fuller butt does look way better and having some prominence at the back to makes it quite a unique shape for a guy. yes be interesting to see you create one from the male perspective? I know mines is more female shaped than the majority of males are as in fuller butt cheeks ??

            I have a couple of male friends who have a bit of a generous booty and I wouldn’t describe them as female-shaped, just bubble-butt like!
            It’s definitely eye-catching, as it’s way more common for guys (at least the ones I see anyway) to be more lacking in the gluteal-area.

    You are underestimating the variety of female butt shapes. I’ve identified ten types: (1) A-shape; (2) Inverted-heart, similar to A-shape but fuller on the bottom; (3) Square or H-shape; (4) Round (or O-shape or bubble butt); (5) Hourglass (similar to round but with more pronounced tapering to very narrow waistline); (6) V-shape; (7) Pear shape (elongated a bit from waste to bottom; (8) Watermelon (butt nearly continuous in shape with large thighs); (9) Skinny (boyish, not meaty at all); and (10) Big booty (larger and meatier than Round). Examples of each can be found by search engines.

      Hey Alvin, thanks heaps for your input here – that’s quite an extensive number of different shapes! Introducing more type categories might allow for more distinction between all of the different types, but it also could be confusing for people who may have trouble figuring out which shape they are. I think there are definitely pros and cons to both approaches. Thanks very much for your valuable comment!

    Whatever be the shape, a booty is a booty. All booties deserve a nice wholesome grab and some really hard spank shots. Of course, men would love the A-shaped or the round ones the most. But they are generous enough to love booties of any shape.

      I know A-shape and round shape seem to be the most popular – I think that’s probably due to the effect of the media – but based on all the comments on this post I’d have to say that booties of any shape can be loved and coveted by guys (or gals) too, it’s really an individual preference kind of thing.

    If we’re talking about guys butts, then I would say that I have the type of butt that can only be categorised as “Greek God.” And while I firmly believe that EVERY woman-bum out there deserves love, I’m only capable of loving thin bums. Or rather, I’m only capable of being sexually attracted to thin women, ie- women with thin bums. Regardless of whether the bum-shape is an ‘H’ or ‘V’ or ‘O’ or ‘Loveheart,’ ALL of them are equally loveable to me, so long as they’re small and thin.

    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this kind of preference, either. I’m not capable of feeling sexually attracted to an overweight women, but neither am I capable of being sexually attracted to a man. Nor am I able to be sexually attracted to a child. Or a dog, or a lamp post, or a car!!! I can’t make myself feel sexually attracted to males, even though they’re human. I can’t make myself feel sexually attracted to overweight women, even though they’re human females.

    I have a bit of a heart shaped butt but I also have a little of my hip that you can see sticking out. So I’d say I’m a bit of the heart shaped and a bit of the square. Genuinely am a bit of a mix of both. I do have quite a big butt and am a teen with cellulite but it doesn’t bother me and just means I’m thicc!! If you like small butts you go but don’t go hating on others with different shapes!! There’s a type out there for everyone and that’s just not your type. It doesn’t make me any less beautiful and quite frankly it’s pretty damn toxic for someone to openly speak badly about others and especially the way they look. That’s extremely shallow and I’m here to say you’re beautiful no matter what body you have or what others may think of you 🙂 fuck off haters

    Whatever the shape… they all change as we age. Trust.
    If you date someone for their butt… I think you got bigger problems than figuring out which letter represents his or her ass shape. Or, which ass shape you prefer.

    Imagine if women had penis shape, size, and curvature preference and men were expected to flaunt their dick cleavage in public places… visually making themselves more appealing to the masses of single women. You think men would be getting more penis enlargements and procedures? Most definitely.

    And, to think that men have a different set of rules for body shapes… is absolutely closed-minded. You have a body and it has a shape. AREN’T WE ALL HUMAN??? LOL

    8% of women have the marveled and craved hourglass body. Does that mean 92% of all females are not as good, pretty, or valued?

    By the looks of this article and proceeding comments, Yes.

    There is somebody for every BODY. Most importantly: Love your body. No matter it’s condition or shape… it’s the only one you got.

    I love anything associated with making people feel ashamed about themselves. Making women insecure about things they can’t control unless they put themselves under a scalpel needs to stop. And, it starts with how we talk about and handle the subject. Also, nothing wrong with naturally enhancing ones own beauty. Feel good about yourself… forget about simpleton and underdeveloped front lobed humans focused on one body part. Your worth isn’t in your ass cheeks… or your thin waist… or your giant boobs!! (Giant boobs just hurt like f*ck, btw. Yay for back and neck pain carrying around 10lbs of fat on your chest. I should know. My ass also knocks things off tables. I have a very hard time finding jeans to fit my huge ass and thighs… without a gap on my waist.

    We all struggle to accept and deal with our bodies. Accept it, love it, take care of it… it breathes for you.

      Samantha, thanks for contributing your voice on this topic. I agree it’s been a massive eye-opener for me as I wrote this post many years ago and have watched the comments pour in from people of all walks. It has always surprised at how much traffic this article gets, and I would probably not write something like this again these days. I like what you said about changing the conversations we’re having about topics like this. In my opinion, learning to love and appreciate ones’ body is something that comes with time and age (that’s how it worked for me, at least). And for me it’s also been one of the most helpful and impactful changes that greatly affects my quality of life. I traded my self-hate for acceptance and gratitude for everything my body does great for me, and it’s made a huge difference.
      Hopefully as societies start to change culturally through more positive conscious conversations, it will start to become the ‘norm’ to accept and love your own body, without the constant comparisons to unrealistic ideals constantly pushed by popular media.

      Sorry to hear that! It can be difficult to tell sometimes because everyone is unique. I’m curious, what is the main reason you want to know what butt shape yours is?

      The reality is that some people somewhere have come up with this ‘shape’ system to categorize human butt shapes, but at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter all that much. If your butt doesn’t fit so strongly into a particular category that you can easily tell what shape it is, it’s probably not so overly distinct that you need to do anything like making clothing choices to flatter your butt or make it ‘appear’ a bit more like one of the other categories.
