How to sign “Breast” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Breast” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Bring up your dominant hand with the fingers held together and straight.
- Start with the fingertips touching the center of your left breast.
- Lift slightly and bring the fingertips down onto the center of your right breast in an even second touch.
- Keep your palm turned toward your body so the fingertips land flat on the chest.
- Keep your face matter-of-fact — BREAST is an anatomical term, not an emotional one.
Practice tip
Two touches, left then right — the doubled movement is what makes it BREAST; it is also the base of the BREASTFEED compound.
