This is a Comexim Kim Half Cup. I believe it's a 3 part cup.

Well. This bra was extremely disappointing. I was speaking to another Bratabase user around my size literally yesterday and she said anything above a K cup in Comexim isn't worth the effort. Boy was this person correct. There's a multitude of things wrong with this bra. The straps are too wide. The cups come up too high. The cups... Drown under the weight of my breasts? Is that even a thing? Where are the tops of the cups?! Why am I about to fall out?! The gore doesn't tack. The band is enormous. It's just a really, really, REALLY bad fit.

The only good thing I can say about it is that it's pretty. Womp womp.

This bra is not owned any more

• Sizing down in the band is needed for sure, but there would be no solution to the tack issue with Comexim unless you did a wire double up or switch out.......That might resolve part of the cup issues, but........definitely don't bend over too far! The flop out was the issue I had in the Comexim Beatrice. Kinda defeats the purpose of a bra, doesn't it? ;-)
  Comexim just gets wonky in the larger cups!

  MamaPagan Which is absolutely astounding to me since the 32 band I just tried seemed firmer than this band. The tacking isn't what bugs me. The lack of depth to the cup bugs me, which, again, makes no sense because according to my measurements, it should work hahaha?! Too true. Darn it. Comexim is so aesthetically pleasing to me. I guess I'll just have to opt out of the brand :(

• I haven't tried the half cups personally but everyone says they are shallower with less immediate projection. :-/
  With the band: Consistently inconsistent is what I like to say!

• MamaPagan Yup, the half cups are certainly shallow (on me, at any rate). They feel kind of minimizing and push the breasts east-west.

• Haha, I guess so. Oh well I suppose.

• JumpingJellyfish19 I just noticed the caption on the first picture. Yikes, indeed.

• Sovavosi I hoped someone would like it 😏

  It really makes you wonder, do they have a concept of what a Half cup should look like? This one is very plunge in shape-lower gore, higher at the strap-definitely not a "dual suns on the horizon" straight across look at all. Dual vertical seams doesn't make a half cup if it doesn't also have the horizontal top......

  MamaPagan I'm convinced that companies don't actually know the correct bra strap-bra cup-bra band ratio for us as of yet. Maybe someday...

  My Wellfitting 3HC in 28K looks like this, more like a plunge than a half cup. It must be the JJ to K jump, the JJ didn't look like this.

• Sovavosi Perhaps. 🤷

• It's just crazy though!

  MamaPagan oh absolutely. You'd think that there wouldn't be that much difference, right? But here we are... Looking at my tatas spilling out of this bra...

  Too true....too true.....wait, now I feel like a pervert, haha!

  I know that you can custom the straps to be moved in and the cup height to be reduced but I don’t think that would solve all of the problems. It’s beautiful though, agreed.

  They don't even TRY to grade properly at this size. You want to know something funny/horrible? In some of the most popular Comexim half cups represented on Bratabase, i.e. the ones with user data in almost every size on the full-bust side of the range at least, if you go diagonally up and down along a particular sister size line (so for example 60N, 65M, 70L, 75K, 80J) you'll see measurements indicating that the sister-size cups are all roughly the same depth but not only are they non-graded for the smaller back sizes, they're kinda... ANTI-graded. So you will have the 75K or 80J that is a scant 6" wide and the sister size volume in the much smaller back sizes, like 60 or 65, is literally WIDER in the cup!!! with straps presumably further apart. The more projected a half-cup is, the more it relies on (a) structural integrity of the cup itself so that it is robust enough to survive the weight of a boob instead of folding, and (b) ability to brace evenly and therefore securely against the ribcage thanks to both ends of the "U" of underwire sitting more or less on the same plane. If you have the wire at the gore that is essentially vertical and the rest of the cup is pretty much wrapped 3/4 of the way round your sides with the outer end of the wire having nothing to brace against, the whole darn thing is just going to collapse, unceremoniously dumping your boobs out of the cup and into each other. Add the strap being too far out and it just completes the dysfunction.

  MamaPagan 😂😏 it's okay. I signed up for this 😂

  Calluna Yep. You can have several adjustments done to their bras. However, whether they actually do it or not is an entirely different ball game.
  Sigh, yeah. Too bad it didn't work out!

• wendybien yikes.. you'd think they'd at least try a little harder, you know? They have all this information from their customers, all the feedback that the need, but it's like they completely ignore it. It's so sad really, because I LOVE their bras.

  It looks great from every angle, EXCEPT the front. Where it is obviously failing. Oh my, its failing horrendously isn't it.
  Some one REALLY needs to work with Comexim on designing their bras for the full bust/small back community.

• Indeed, LeProfessor, indeed!

• LeProfessor It is very much failing indeed. :/
