I'm back!
Hello all! I've been lurking for a while and decided to come back to offer help, support, and friendship. Since October or so I've lost and gained and lost weight (health issues). My band and the bottom of my breast tissue has shrunk and I've become even fuller on top it seems, to the point where I would now say I'm very FOT. My size is somewhere between 38J-40J UK depending on the style of bra.
My best fitting bras are now two 40M - Wellfitting » Liftsational Classic Plunge. I think now I might even get away with ordering a band size down because this band material is quite stretchy.
I've figured out why Comexim brands work better for me than Ewa Michalak padded bras. In my size, and specifically in their plunges, Comexim has a lot of bottom and apex projection, and that projection is lower. For someone with quite short roots and who is quite full on top, this is necessary. Ewa on the other hand makes bras with higher apex projection and a more rounded shape. This causes my breasts to fold back on the roots because my breasts are wider than my roots (omega shape) in an effort to fill the too-high apex. I had this problem with Panache Jasmine and Thea as well. Curvy Kate bras, despite often having many issues, do not have this problem.
I've also discovered a lot of interesting information on bra wires. I may revive my blog at some point to share this. I have been replacing all my bra wires with those from cheap Panache bras I get on eBay, generally 30HH. So if you have any worn out Panache bras around that size I'd happily take them off your hands. Their wires are the firmest on the market as far as I can tell. I will be listing for free all the wireless bras that I bought new. Some are really nice.
These are just some of my thoughts since I've been absent. While I haven't been writing bra reviews I've been writing my dissertation. I've written about 100 pages (I'm halfway there and need to finish by March 😬).
I've missed you all. I hope we have a great bra year this year!

I've been missing your reviews and friendly advice dreadfully. So delighted you're back!
I saw that you bought some Comexims, ennakym! So glad you got them and they fit. Can't wait to see the graffiti on you!
