Comexim Sizing? Do they run big, small, consistent, ??
As a brand, how does Comexim tend to run? I'm pretty well a 34, definitely not a 36, and I've tried a few 34s that could hook on the tightest hooks brand new (Freya Rio that I have to send back). I have a bit of confusion as far as cup size goes. I seem to get a little spillage from my larger side if I don't adjust every so often in a G. A GG has wider cups, and wider set wires, so they're further into my sides/below my armpit area. It's not terrible pain, but it's not an area that has a whole lot of padding anymore, so it isn't the most comfortable feeling. And that's in a GG without really wide cups, from what I've been able to find looking at measurements here.
I ask because I've seen a couple on ebay that aren't priced too bad.
Also - how is 75 the equivalent to UK 34? 75cm is 29 inches.

I talked a bit here about the situation about Comexim and their size consistency

Looking at numbers, it seems that a 75 size bra stretches to accommodate a torso near 34 inches, but again... this should not be taken as any truth.
Best thing to do is look at the measurements of the bands that work for you and look for bras in this brand that have the same measurements, you may find that some may be 75 and some can be 80.
Thanks! I will compare the measurements on the bra I'm looking into to those of the bras I've bought. I don't know why that slipped my mind. I am still new here trying to sort through all the different ways to, well, sort through everything! lol
I checked the reviews page for the particular one I'm checking out. The reviews were kind of here and there, with most indicating the band is tight if they said either way at all. But the yellow box about stretch %, actually called it a very stretchy band! So who knows. if the price is good, I'll go for it. If it almost fits I will keep it for a few months and see if 10-15 more pounds helps and resell it if it isn't right at all.
Like I told a CS lady with a store I was exchanging with this week, I went from [what I now know were] the same exact giant sized poorly fitting plushly padded 1 inch+ wide strapped bras, to finding my new size, hopefully my right size, and it really is like I'm bra shopping for the first time ever.
