What body shape would you prefer to be? Apple or pear?

[rubberhead]

So I am an Apple shape, bit of a tummy but thin arms and legs ( small boobs too 🙄) I would rather be a pear shape as I would love to have a smaller waistline and be able to wear nice fitted top. I wouldn't care about having thicker legs however my friend told me that she'd love to have my 'skinny' legs and arms as she can't get boots to fit. I guess were never happy. What would you rather be if you could choose ?

I'm a pear and happy with my figure as I like having a slimmer waist and a big bum but that's my personal preference.

I don't have thick legs though - my thighs are chunky but calves and ankles are skinny

@Titsywoo see i agree, having a small waist is something I just will
Never have 😢

I’m apple shaped, would much rather be pear. I look

Is brick a shape? Because that’s what i am 🥲

I'm an apple, it's the least healthy body shape

Posted to soon. I look like a fat Christmas robin with my round belly and twig legs!

I’m a pear. I really like having a slim waist. I’m short, plus I have a long torso and short legs, and I carry all my weight on my legs (and, regrettably, my face). So no boots ever fit me, skinny jeans are a no-go, and I hated my legs growing up. Everyone has their insecurities I guess!

@Cookingthedinner that's made me laugh 😂 I'm sure you look gorgeous.

I'm a pear and think I give the impression of being much slimmer than I actually am. Whilst I don't like my chunky legs (which genuinely look like they belong to a different person than my upper body) I'd not choose to be an apple shape. I also find it quite easy to get clothes to fit which I think is handy - dresses are occasionally tight across my upper legs but in general the proportions fit me well.

Pear is the one body shape I have never liked or wished for.

I’d rather be a pear shape.

I am apple but with larger boobs
I have always wanted small boobs would love to go braless but not necessarily pear shaped more athletic.

I’m pear/hourglass.
my mum is an apple.
she has always Been envious of my curves and me of her slim legs. Chub rub is no fun!

I'm hourglass and it's a pain in the arse getting clothes to fit and knee boots/wellies/any fitted top half without stretch are an absolute no. But, I am glad that I do not carry excess weight on my waist. Absolutely hate my legs though. They never get much smaller, and my calves are the same thickness regardless of my weight.

I’m a pear/hourglass but I have never had properly slim legs and my whole life, I wished for them. I’m must heavier now after 3 children but before them, I know I had what would have been an enviable figure for some. But I just wish, wish, wish I had slim arms and legs.

I'm a skinny pear. I have quite wide hips but my limbs are quite skinny. My top half is much slimmer than my bottom half ( my waist is 11 inches smaller than my hips) so makes me look much skinnier overall as I feel wider hips are easier to hide. I don't think I'd mind being a different shape i'd just make the best of what I have.

I'm a pear. I hate drawing attention to my disproportionately wide hips and massive arse. And chunky thighs. But mainly my arse. It's wide (thanks hips), it sticks out and goodness knows why the fashion is the stickier out the better these days, because nothing fits right.

After having DD it went flat for a while and it was amazing. Gone back now though. I feel like I'm the only woman around who wants a flatter bum!

I'm an apple/brick shape.
I'd rather be pear for health reasons.

I choose (I am) a proper hour glass.
You don't get to choose so I don't like the question.
I'd work with whatever I was given.
Apples can look very marvelous, just find the styles that suit you.

Same. Think it's because my mother is a short pear and I grew up being very aware of her body hangups.

I'm an apple and would much rather be a pear. Holding all my weight round my middle makes clothes shopping really tricky

I’m a hourglass that just crosses into pear with slim arms and legs - I like my shape and am happy with it.

From a pure health perspective it’s not great to carry a lot of weight round the midriff and therefore near essentials organs. Think it’s better to be heavier around the hip saddles!

Pear every time.

Much healthier and more flattering.

DH and his family are all apples and it means they can't afford to carry hardly any additional weight without putting their health at risk as it just goes straight around their middle.

I'm an hourglass/pear so I can be the same weight that would put my SIL at an unhealthy waist measurement but mine is healthy as weight goes to my thighs and bum/boobs. Very grateful.
