This has been my go-to nude bra since I began wearing smaller bands. My old, wrong size was 34A. I have tried Freya and @Panache but Cleos seem to be the only ones that generally work for me. Freya padded bras, in particular, are too deep for me. My breasts are shallow with a wide roots. I prefer wide bands and don't mind if the wires come up rather high under my arms. Widely-spaced straps, however, really irritate me since they tend to dig into my underarm area and need to be constantly adjusted.

The Juna fits OK. I do not fill out the tops of the cups, so the lace is usually wrinkled. The bottoms and sides are filled. The gore tacks. The band is tight, but not uncomfortably so. My body is still probably in the process of adjusting to tighter bands, so I have to fiddle this a couple times per day to make sure everything is where it should be. It does not help that the straps on this are wide-set. If I wear them perfectly straight, they would be in danger of sliding off my shoulders. They also really chafed my armpit chub the first month or so I wore this bra. It took a few washings before this one annoying little corner on the bottom of one strap softened up.

I'm fairly satisfied with the Juna, but it's by no means the ideal bra for me. The industrial beige color is fine with my skintone, but this bra is still visible beneath thinner knit shirts, particularly the top edge of the cups and the vertical seams. I have to wear an additional cami or thin tank over it if I want to wear a clingier shirt or dress. And since the wires/cups are rather wide and come up high in the wings, I cannot wear it beneath tanks or dresses with larger armholes.

This bra also feels a little oppressively massive sometimes, like I'm wearing beige armor beneath my clothes. I can imagine it will get uncomfortable when the weather gets hot and steamy. I will keep wearing it because I really don't have any other option, but I will keep looking for the perfect t-shirt/everyday padded bra.
