I am looking for that chart on reddit for determining Comexim sizes but I cannot seem to find it? Could anyone please help me with that?

Comexim Sizing Help!
I'm sure this question probably comes up every other day or so, but I've been wanting to try Comexim forever and need to know what size I should try! My best fitting bra is currently a 30GG Panache Envy. Apparently 30GG is supposed roughly translate to 65J in Comexim, but when comparing the Basic and Envy on this site, I noticed that the Basic is much smaller. Should I keep looking at sizes until I find similar measurements, or should I just trust the sizes?

The basic runs a half to whole cup small
-
I'd recommend to look at measurements instead of just going by cup translation. Cup translation only means the order of the cups they go, but does not say anything about construction.
When Comexim makes their tenth cup (J) they are not really thinking how do other brands make their :10 cup. So just assuming that the 10th cup in two different brands will fit similarly is not a safe bet.

Got a new bra recently? yes I did, I bought 2 today after an amazing fitting at Bravissimo. Sorry this may be long, but I will tell you about my shape and then you can decide if you want to read further!
I am even top to bottom, but very full in the middle, quite close set and projected, narrow to ... average width and short to average height root.
I always have a gap where the strap meets the cup (often big enough for a rolled pair of socks) but tend to spill out of or quadboob at the middle so need high gores.
Today I asked for sizing and to look at shape as I have recently lost 1 stone and finally I seem to have run out of milk (7 years after stopping feeding!!!) I feel that I get some "pooling" at the bottom outside of my bras where the bra doesn't quite pull me in enough ( a bit like a watermelon in a carrier bag).
I wondered if half cups would help with the gapping so I tried Cleo Juna, Freya Patsy and Bravissimo rococo charm, Juna didn't have enough depth in the middle so my girls tried to fight back, not a great shape and the longer I wore it, the more the gore moved away, which was better than Freya which never even tried to tack. Rococco charm was too wide and so had extra fabric at the side.
I wondered if a side sling would help the pooling, so I tried Panache Envy which had a too wide gore and the stretch lace fabric didn't keep the girls away from it so they poured over the top (aswell as the pooling in the bottom outer cup)which would have become very uncomfortable. Jasmine was a much better fit, quite minimising which surprised me, but it came in a black base colour so no good for me - maybe when the pink floral comes to town! Idina was too tight across my central fullness - quadboob with empty space at the side.
As my previously best fitting bra was Marcie, we tried the pink/orange colourway ( I wanted to know which size to try when the beige comes out soon), I was disappointed that the gore is no longer overlapped as the fit has changed quite a lot as a result and I prefer the old one, however lift and shape in unpadded Cleo is amazing, and she brought Erin and Minnie ( in a beautiful blue colour), hey presto, lift, support, and great shape with no gaping where the strap meets the cup and almost no creasing there, the top cup sits perfectly with no central quadding and the girls aren't fighting back! The wires are perfect until the top inch under the arm which I don't really need but its not rubbing.
I also tried a Bravissimo balconnette ( I have loads in my prev size) just to see, and I definitely got that pooling in the bottom again.
It was great to come away not only knowing my new size (32H) but also what works and why, so thank you to my lovely fitter and thank you to all you knowledgable ladies on here that I have learnt so much from! xx

Lower prices for my listed bras ! (Ewa Michalak, Curvy Kate, Playful Promises, Only Her)
I want to get rid of theses bras ! They all fit between 30dd and 30f.
I am open to exchanges. I don't really like underwired bras at the moment : I wear more or less a size 34b, but I need super wide wires (between 13 and 15cm wide), very hard to find... So I am actually looking for bralettes and unwired triangle bras around the size 34b.

For anyone in the UK who is 28C-E or 30B-DD
Ann Summers "boost" bras always run tight in the band. I used to work for them and did a bit of measuring. Max length of 32s was 31" (and I mean on the verge of stretching too much).
All the 30 bands are on sale right now. They have a good returns policy (though you can easily do click and collect, then try them on and return them straight away if you need to when you collect them) so can't harm to try.
They're all down from around £26-£34 to £10-£23.80http://www.annsummers.com/search/?searchTerm=30c&facet=ad...

I received a Cleo Marcie from catiebabe85 and wore it to work today and oh my god is it perfect. for the first time since I started my bra fit journey it really felt comfortable all day and the wires weren't poking and causing pain. I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of this and I'm really excited!!

Which ones are you looking for? Many sites have discontinued styles.

I would really love the Just Flew In, or secondly the Carys. Or anything that looks like those (any brand)! But really I'm obsessed with the Just Flew In.

Slavic embroidery?
Hey girls! I want to dig into the world of ethnic-like bras. Cleo Melissa (6991) 's print looks a bit like traditional Eastern European embroirdery, and I know about Ewa Michalak Pl S\u0142owianki (506) . What else is there?

Maybe this in the blue floral? Not the Aqua or the navy with roses; the one that looks like embroidery.
Or what about this one in Graphite?http://www.lindasonline.com/panache-masquerade-alice-plunge-bra-7046-graphite.html

My 80GG - Ewa Michalak » S Rarytas (595) didn't fit.
but it was the best fitting out of all the bras I got today, so yay?

Awww. What was wrong in the fit?

Cup is too small and a touch narrow. Need to go to the 80H. But the other bras were so laughably bad. Cleo/Panache and I are never ever going to work out. Will probably post a fit check tomorrow.

Tallulah, Isobel
Thinking about a Panache one-piece bathing suit. Does anybody have a Tallulah or an Isobel they can tell me about? I wear either a 32F or 32FF in Panache/Cleo, usually depending on whether it's padded or not, but I also need a larger size in the more closed on top styles like the Emily, and I spilled out everywhere in ... a Harem, so I'm thinking I might need a 32FF, but I am not sure at all. Also, I am hourglass shaped but with hips that are an inch wider around than my bustline, and I am not sure that bra sized suits will accommodate my bottom. Help?

If you need to know who has certain bra you're looking for, your best bet is to check the page for that model.
On the reviews section you can see all the users who have added their bras:
Panache Swimwear Tallulah Swimsuit (SW0740) sadly only has one user that decided not to write how it worked for her. For the Panache Swimwear Isobel Balconnet Swimsuit (SW0760) we have 0 :-/On these cases, you can check the bra's related models and see if there's anything with the same cut and see the reviews of them, for the Isoble, the Panache Swimwear Grace Swimsuit (SW0193) has the same cut, and there's one bra with a review:
http://www.bratabase.com/browse/panache-swimwear/isobel-swimsuit-sw0760/related/If anybody has any bra hiding, it would be helpful that they add it, that way you can always just check what others thought about them.
A last resort would be to just check the brand wide reviews to learn a bit about the brand's fit, sadly I think that's too broad information.
http://www.bratabase.com/browse/panache-swimwear/reviews/Another good thing about finding the bra reviews over the adventures, is that related conversation on the review is properly filed there so people interested in the future can see what was talked about when reading the reviews.

Dramatic changes in measurements, need a new starting size
When I first signed up here and put in my measurements, before I entered any bras, the site told a size to start out with. That size turned out to be the most accurate result I got from any calculator.
Now after having my baby, my measurements are a lot different, and I need a new starting point, but I ... can't seem to get the site to give me a new size. Is there any way to get the "calculator" here to tell me my new size under my new measurements? Or can I not do it unless I make a new account?
I have a range of sizes that I think are close, but it would be nice to have confirmation. The recommendations are all over the place right now.

Shoot I hit delete not edit LOL. Ok so yes add your new measurements then change any existing bra fits as needed (ie quadboobing, band tightness, ect) that should give you a closer size range. Also try http://www.brasizecalculator.tk/
This is a fairly accurate calculator also but only uses your band and overall bust. Take your size there and come look at the measurements on here and kinda go from there. This calculator gives me a 30G but the depth would be to deep but a 30F-FF might work better for me (waiting on new bras). -
You can just go to your measurements and add new ones for your current ones.
Then the recommendations will use your latest measurements by default. If you wish you can still ask to get recommendations for any of your old entries.Click on the "+ Enter new measurements" button
http://www.bratabase.com/profile/measurements/The site perfectly supports boob changes (pregnancy, weight gain/loss, reduction, augmentation, doesn't matter). Also when you add fit information for your new bras make sure that you enter how they fit for your current measurements which will be the first option anyway.

So my long-awaited new Cleo Melissa is out on the UPS truck to my old address... AGAIN! I have to wait until it returns to pick it up from the local sorting facility. What a mess. It was shipped to my billing address, but I ordered it over a month ago, and had to wait all this time. The store ... agreed to send it next day because of all the wait time, but it definitely didn't get to me next day, considering they were trying to send it to my old address. They must've gotten that address through PayPal, but PayPal has my correct delivery address...
And I'd been hoping to have it in time for Valentine's Day.

today's thoughts
"Can I wear my Cleo Swimwear Jecca Padded Bandeau Bikini (CW0105) instead of a real bra today?"
Answer: Yes, yes I can.
If anyone actually cares, I wore it without the halter and it stays up amazingly well. I love this top.Filed under Bras ups and downs

My bikini (I weae it under my Elomi swim top) is a great plunge for a deep v neck- lower gore than anything else I have but keeps me contained (I fall out of most plunges)

I just posted about this a few minutes ago right below you! This is the chart I've been using, but I'm really confused because when I look at the measurements for Comexim bras on this site, they seem smaller than I'd expect. http://bustyresources.wikia.com/wiki/File:Rough_UK_to_Comexim_Bra_Size_Conversion.png
edit: sorry for duplicate comments, I didn't think it was going through :P
I recommend you go by measurements.
Find a bra that fits you and enter their numbers here, then filter by the brand you want and see what you find:
http://www.bratabase.com/search/advanced/
The bigger the cups get, the more room for variation in ranges, so just comparing cups by label won't hold.
If what you want is just cup conversions, take a look at Index sizes, then you will easily be able to convert from any brand to any brand.
