The shape of the local bubble is modeled in the framework of the thin layer approximation. The asymmetric shape of the local bubble is simulated by introducing axial profiles for the density of the interstellar medium, such as exponential, Gaussian, inverse square dependence and Navarro-Frenk-White. The availability of some observed asymmetric profiles for the local bubble allows us to match theory and observations via the observational percentage of reliability. The model is compatible with the presence of radioisotopes on Earth.
