Ginger Maxi in 70K
I am adding this bra for data/informational purposes only. This Bra is not owned by me at the time of addition to the database.

Ginger is a padded semi-demi bra. The padding is a light foam lining. The pattern is tan with micro white dots and white accents, same as Gaia’s Gina. The cups have 3 sections-2 vertical on bottom with 1 horizontal on top, and the straps are stationary, not removable or changeable.

The band was 26” to a max stretch of 33”, with 3 hooks and 3 rows of eyes.

Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 10.75”

2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 12.25”

I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.

The cup on the 70K maxi is smaller than the 65K Gina, and the same unstretched measurement as the 70I cup, but with ¾” less stretch making it smaller than the 70I as well. Also, for some reason this Ginger bra has a center gore spacing of a full inch, making it far wider spaced than most Polish bras. I’m used to the center gore wires basically touching, if not overlapped, so this was odd.

So far every Gaia bra I’ve tried in the Maxi has been smaller than their regular line by roughly 2 cups, making the Maxi line basically useless unless you’re just wanting a tag that says a higher cup size. I’ve also found the quality of their Maxi line to be much lower than their regular line.

I am so disappointed! I love the pattern and wanted it so badly! The matching panties are so cute as well, so I now have 3 bras with the matching panties and can’t wear them other than as a half cup for my hubby’s eyes only, but definitely not doable under clothes as it looks bad.

I got most of my Gaia bras from my treasured Polish bra supplier Magda (Tomahuka on eBay & www.Bras4You.com) as well as the matching panties. Magda offers excellent customer service, and gives you a free random pair of panties with orders of 2 or more bras!

I also tried Ginger in 70J, plus Gina in 65K, 70I, and 70J. Gina is similar to Ginger except for the cups are in 3 vertical sections and more of a demi style than the Ginger. Unfortunately for me, none of the fit, and I had to accept that I was not going to have a lovely Gina/Ginger set to wear

This bra is not owned any more
