It is not easy to distinguish the twins from each other. This table may help:

  Patty Selma
Necklace pearls circular oval
Earrings triangular s-shaped
Hair undivided divided

A quicker mnemonic device: The sister whose earrings are two triangles is Patty.


Another, even quicker mnemonic device: The sister whose earings are s-shaped is Selma.


Despite being identical twins, Patty and Selma Bouvier have had very different track records when it comes to finding dates. Patty once had a brief fling with Seymour Skinner, while Selma has been married three times. Overall, Patty is characterized as being far more distrusting of men than her sex-crazed sister.


According to Marge, Patty chose a life of celibacy, while Selma had celibacy thrust upon her. Several episodes have hinted that Patty is a lesbian.
