New Comexim bikini on breakoutbras

A few months back I shared that breakoutbras told me they were going to be offering an exclusive comexim bikini. Naturally I was excited! It is on their site now and it is... plain black. And I mean plain. No interesting details. So if someone is looking for a very classic black bikini, this is a good choice. I personally was looking for something a bit more vivacious, but alas.

Well the day has finally come...

After almost a year of using 1-2 hooks of an extender for my 30F Cleo Marcie (Navy), I wore it all day today on the loosest bra hooks without a problem. No extender...hoorah! It’s possible that I might have been able to do it sooner, but I wasn’t sure, and was hesitant to try before now. But yay! I ... can finally wear it like a real bra!

And with that, I’m off to pass out and hope that my fever dies down, and I can stop coughing for a bit...

But I wanted to share while I was in the moment before I forgot to say anything.

My EM style compare

So, as I sit here, listening to my phone ding from Tinder notifications (they're all duds, btw. Where have all the good men gone? Lol) I decided to do something a little more productive.

I've tried all EM styles now and own them all, too.
All except PL - I tried it just after my surgery and my breasts were ... still stiff as wrecking balls, so I had no success. I'm thinking about trying again, now that they're softer...anyways, I digressed.

I wanted to see which style I like best, so that going forward, I would know what to have MagdaBras4you spend my money on.

I put on each bra and put my tshirt on over to compare profiles.

http://imgur.com/a/3sNB91R

I came to these conclusions:

Overall Winner: 1/2 lace BM. Most comfort. Nice (non-enhanced) round profile.

Best padded: CHP. I love the S when naked, but under clothes, CHP rocks.

I've posted pics for others who may wish to see.

All bras size 65G.

Not shown: 65G SM. It no longer fits, so it couldn't possibly be a fair comparison.

Happy Sunday,
A

- I love the half lace BMs too. They are so comfortable it's like I'm not wearing a bra. 💙
  Sorry tinder isn't raining men ATM. The best ones are worth the wait though, so soon you'll find your soul mate, & usually when (and where) you least expect it! :-)
- I love the CHP shape too. It is so not my natural shape, I am naturally very pointy and the unpadded give me varying degrees of that. Same thing with the PL for some reason...

Thoughts about planning a Comexim order

Since I know that Ewa will continue to postpone the release of her new models I am browsing the Comexim shop and Bratabase and try to decide.
I will get Paola with reduced cup and gore and I want to add a 3HC but I have too many options.

-Splendid: Has anyone already ordered this bra and seen it in person? It ... is the most special design but I am not sure how close the shop photos are to the real look. I could not return, if I dislike it in person. (Also I am trying to figure out if Athena strings could match the yellow of this bra).

- Wildcat: The same questions here, but the Print is rather standard than special. It is already a 3HC which means I could return if I really dislike the pattern. Not that I ever returned a bra because of the pattern, only because of the fit, so I guess I would not return anyway. My hubby likes this one more than I do.

- Hot Chocolate: I do not like the Plunge, but there is a picture of a 3HC on bratabase and I like it much better this way. Also as a bonus, I try to avoid black straps and this bra has brown ones. Is this one models that are almost invisible under clothes?

Anyone who has one of these bras and can add anything to my thoughts? Buying all of them is no option 😅
Also, maybe someone with an unpadded balcony in the size range of 65D ore similar and sister sizes who can compare the shape to the padded models?

- Sonya got the Hot Chocolate as 3HC. You could ask her about the visibility infer clothes.
  
  I have a suspicion that Splendid is a print rather than actually fully embellished and adorned, but I’m not sure. I’m curious as to which it is.
  
  Wildcat...if you don’t like it as much as hubby, don’t get it. I’m sure that there’s a style/print out there that he will like that you also like. But it’s ultimately a bra you will be wearing, so you should be happy with it. If you’re uncertain, skip it.
- I just tested it under a thin white t-shirt and blouse and it's pretty good. The lace is very fine and the colour is quite reddish, so it works well as a nude.

You know you’re a bra nerd when...

You’re expecting bras to be delivered to you while on vacation and you bring underwear to coordinate in the event that you end up wearing it on your trip.

And when you look at the lighting in the ballroom and you can only see nipples. Lol!

Organization that takes donated bras

Just read a NYT article, but I know not everyone can get to those, so I found the website: https://isupportthegirls.org/locations/

and fb page https://www.facebook.com/SupportTheGirlsandWomen/

and the NYT article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2019/02/12/accidental-bra-fairy-has-helped-homeless-women-years-now-shes-helping-women-affected-by-shutdown/?fbclid=IwAR1ZCdJvIFghhGfJ7SLXdv3UOQFhL2U6nlUlXE0kb7Z6TIStJm5hlsFkrYY&utm_term=.f6a78dfa84e5

OT: That time when I was smug

But was trying not to be (really!) in the comments of a review and I had said that we had had no snow or sub zero (C) temperatures this winter...

https://imgur.com/a/RmMZqBw

Ummm yeah. Not as bad as the rest of the country but bad enough for us that schools have been closed for 2 days, no mail delivery, busses jackknifing, ... routes canceled, cars abandoned by the side of the road yesterday (a major road), and yeah... I live by the water so it’s not as bad here as it is further north out of town and in the higher elevations. Not completely shut down, but close...

Pictures are from my balcony view and walk to work today and should not have anything super identifiable in them.

This is an off topic post, so delete it if you need to.

- It is beautiful! ❄❄❄
- Thank you. They are working on the roads as best as they can. We are not well equipped for this amount of snow. Areas north of me got two feet easily over the last few days. It started Sunday and was the heaviest and worst for us yesterday. Here’s hoping that our flight from Vancouver is not cancelled tomorrow night.

I think I need more half-lace BM options..I think they may be more forgiving than the full lace simply because of the stretch tulle that lines the upper portion..it really doesn't have much give..*sigh*

Side Note: almost all of the lower priced bras on EM seem to be out of stock with the exception of select sizes :/ I wonder if this means, when the newer stock comes in, they'll be priced higher? :/

Maybe I should try Comexim, but I've been burned lately by bras, and I'm just not into trying anything new right now

- I’m not sure. Brownie came in at a lower price than some of the other new ones. I think she is just trying to clear out her premade stock.
- That's true, the new stock should be coming in by March after all.

Jeanette lingerie

Anyone have any experience with this shop/chain in LA? Their motto is something like “the bra alphabet begins with D” or something.

Because we have to go down to LA on Wednesday evening and leave Sunday, instead of flying in on Thursday and leaving Monday, that means that we’re going to be there a whole day before the convention begins ... (though Lobby con and the In and Out run happens in the evening as an unofficial start). I was thinking that maybe I could go there to try stuff on, as it appears to be the closest place to our hotel, though I don’t know what an Uber will cost to get there, but it’s just off the 405 on Santa Monica Boulevard and should not be too far. Plus, it appears that there’s a Starbucks nearby where hubby can work from.

But the website makes it look like it’s less a browsing boutique and more of a fitting boutique where you are brought bras to try rather than go through the racks. Which I get. But in my case, I’m very unlikely to buy, and I really just want to go there to try on lots of stuff....I don’t mind being fitted and having advice, but I definitely don’t want to lead the sales person on either (having worked commission jobs before). Though I do know for sure I can’t afford the Empriente or Prima Donna bras, but I do have a curiosity about the fit. Plus, I might be able to try other Panache and Cleo bras, though unless it’s hugely marked down, I won’t be able to get because we have to be frugal with the trip still. I mean, maybe I can get something, but very likely not. If it’s between a bra or a picture with Catherine Tate...she wins. Hands down. Donna is my favourite of the nuWho companions and when am I ever going to have another chance to be in a picture with her?

Thoughts? Should I just not go? Should I go and be upfront and just say that I’m interested in the fitting but can’t buy anything, or should I just be slightly deceptive (against my morals and better judgment) and just go in for fitting and try lots of stuff and then say I have to consult with husband before I make a decision but just not come back?

- Do go!, I haven't gone myself but this is the go-to for D+ cups in the LA area, I wouldn't expect polish brands, but for sure the US brands and some UK.
  
  Maybe just be upfront that you're browsing because you heard of the store and wanted to visit, that's not a bad thing either.
  
  Fun fact, Jeanette Goldsten (the owner) was Pvt Vasquez in the Aliens movie, also an appearance in Terminator 2!. And she's done a bunch of other movies since :P https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001280/
- Whoa! How cool is that! I’ve actually never seen Aliens or Terminator, but I’ll have a look at the IMDb!
  
  Thanks!

- The extender will affect the straps. I usually have to tighten the straps some when I use extenders.
- Maybe something like this would help with the straps?

Where you order your bras from? (UK brands)

I used to buy all my bras on ebay.uk but it looks like there is not much there anymore. At least not im my current sizes.
Also Belle Lingerie offers barely anything in those sizes either.

Brastop has a decent selection but tells me once I click on the bras "Sorry, this product is not available to purchase in your region." ... Why that? Does Panache offically not sell in Europe anymore?

Bravissimo only offers 4 Panache bras in a K-cup. Has everything else been discontinued? So many Panache bra models I can't find online to buy…Envy, Jasmine, Tango are still around. Has Floris or Thea been discontinued?

- Brastop is geolocking Panache which I'm sure is illegal, but what can we do :/
- I have to wonder if it has to do with GDPR... I'd say try using a VPN and see if you can purchase but they might block shipping to your country.

Bali bras in Europe?

I recently moved to Europe. I was wondering if anyone knows a bra that is similar to the Bali 3488 and available in Europe. I've been wearing the 3488 for over a year now and I love it, but shipping and customs are expensive...

New Comexim plunge colorway @ Breakout Bras

I just got this in my email this morning and hhhhhhhhhngggggggg I think is so pretty! I've come to the conclusion that Comexim plunges just don't work for me but it's tempting. Here's the link to it on their site though again, they seem to have just posted it and there aren't additional pictures yet.

Fun thoughts that nobody would understand besides you :*

I'm writing my first states examina today in a week (OMG!!) And I was just thinking about what bra to wear this day.. my BM fluo is the most comfortable most days, but my BM la Gloria is the prettiest and my Ch cherry is the one I feel the most sexy and comfortable (In terms of "I can do ... anything and I am great" haha) in! Aaaah so how am I supposed to chose between all these wonderful bras!! :'D (FYI: the examina is going to take 4h of writing aka sitting)
Just some random thoughts instead of going through my stuff haha^^

- 4 hours? I'd go for comfy.
- I'd do comfy too. Fluo is hardly a frumpy bra. It's definitely a "look at me, I am TOTALLY awesome" colour!!
  Good luck on your exam! xo

How many cup sizes should I go down?

I'd really like to try Gaia again but the cups are definitely too big. Should I go down one or two cups? The band feels great so I do want to try an 80 band again. I'm wearing an 80G in these pics. Thanks! (Also, sorry for my terrible pics lol)

UPDATE: I'm gonna to try an 80E Also, thank you MagdaBras4you! I ordered this bra from her and not only was the shipping super fast, but her customer service is amazing!

Ewa Michalak news?

Hi! I've been a little bit disconnected over these past few months.

I've been trying to know if there are any new Ewa Michalak bras, and I have found that there are some new bras to come at the end of February. But I also have read about some cupcake and fruit print bras that I haven't been able to locate.

Anybody knows if it's possible to order some of the new bras right now? My bra size changed and I really need some new bras. Thanks!

- Ewa has delayed release of new bras until end if this month. Just Puder was available from @MagdaBras4you
- The fruit and cupcake bras will be the SF style, and released in limited quantities some point this Spring assuming Ewa doesn't change her mind. :-D
  There is a new release scheduled for the end of this month or beginning of next month, though it was originally scheduled for last month and got delayed, so hopefully that doesn't happen again.

Freya Swim?

Does anyone know if Freya Swim bikini tops run true to size or the typical Freya looser band, larger cup? There is very little information on btb about bikini tops and Figleaves is having a 20% off code on all new in and I was gonna buy a bikini... but I'm not sure when I can't figure out the sizing

Comexim return policies

Yesterday I took the plunge and finally placed an order from Comexim.

Of course, I have no clue what size I need (or even if their shapes will fit me) so I am just going off of BtB data.

Anyway, I ordered just regular bras, with no customizations, thinking that I could return them if they don't fit.

Joanna wrote me back ... to confirm my order and to inform me that in the sizes I ordered, they don't take returns.

WTF?

I don't get that. That's a pretty crappy policy, no? I understand if I ordered a size that wasn't in the drop down or wanted changes, but otherwise it's not nice imo.

- All the 60 bands and at least some of the 65 bands are non returnable, even of they were under the drop down. You should be able to write back and cancel due to that if you do so immediately.
- 60s I understand.
  But its silliness otherwise. 65 is a standard band size.
  
  I cut my order down to 1 3hc and 1 pl.
  
  If they don't fit I don't think I'll try again.
