I ordered this bra from Breakout Bras. Unfortunately, there was too much gaping in the cups. : ( I compared it to 32G Basic Padded Plunge and I think 32G (70HH) is a better size for me.

Of note: I would consider 30FF to be my accurate UK bra size right now, but I'm borderline btwn 30 and 32 bands presently. Since European bras are known for being firm in the band, I chose to sister size up from 30FF ----> 32F, then add the two recommended cup sizes that Breakout Bras suggests for this style. So, that put me at 32G, and I believe that is the best fit me currently.

Also, of note: when I go to the Comexim.pl website, according to their size chart with my current measurements, I would fit best into a 32G/70HH as well. So, the Comexim size chart seems to work okay (*at least in this instance) for the padded plunge style for me. Also, someone designed an app to translate one's best size btwn UK bra size ----> Comexim size/ UK bra size -------> Breakout Bras recommended size. Here is a link to the app http://comeximcalc.herokuapp.com/

Edit: This app was created by Redditers u/mathandplants, /u/EuphoricToe1, and /u/winsbe01 (sorry, I don't know their real names)!

My point is: as long as you know an accurate UK bra size, you will be probably be able to get your size in their padded plunge (*it worked for me at least).

I'm still glad I ordered the 32GG just to compare.

  Thanks for the review and the calculator link! I think the calculator is pretty accurate. Unfortunately for me I don’t think the plunge will ever work due to shape mismatch (cries) but the 3HC did so I’m okay with that, lol

  margesimpson , ha ha, thanks for the comment.

  I decided to try plunges after someone commented on an ABTF reddit page re: plunges being good on FOB & projected types, I believe.

  The first plunge that I tried was actually this Chantelle St. Germaine plunge bra https://www.bratabase.com/browse/chantelle/saint-germain-plunge-3411/ which is a discontinued bra, purchased it online.

  It ended up not working out (I actually didn't add it to Bratabase, I should've but I didn't think of it) because the band was sooooo firm (I bought a 30 band). The firmest band I've ever tried: I guess Chantelle (European brand) is known for being esp firm in the band, I believe. Even though the band was so firm, the straps were way too big. Also, the cups were kind of flattening my chest, and gave me an unflattering look. lol. So, not a keeper at all - I sent it back.

  I don't think Comexim padded three-part half-cups (padded 3HC) would work for me at all - and that's just a guess based on what they look like, and I'm not brave enough to try them anytime soon, lol. Maybe after 6 months, or something. But I think that's about 1/2 of Comexim's collection? Of course, there's no where I can go and try on Comexim bras in my city, I can only order online (it is what it is!).

  I don't think their padded 3HC's would work for me b/c of my overall body proportions - and this isn't really talked about on this website, but I'll bring it up: I don't wanna be so padded in the front when my butt is so flat (currently!) Lol. Maybe I need to go to the gym and start doing squats. But I don't wanna be so padded in the front, and flat in the back, lol, I just want to be proportional.

  I want to try again Comexim's unpadded half-cups - as long as their lightly lined that would be okay. I think it would be a good look for me to be a little more "minimized" sometimes. I'm happy that the padded plunge seems to work for me a.t.m, but I still gotta look for bras that work for other outfits. Also, for summer bras (so, something lighter). Thanks for the read! : ) : ) Take care.

  margesimpson , sorry I have some further thoughts (of course) later on...

  I guess Comexim has this more extreme plunge style, e.g. like this bra https://www.bratabase.com/browse/comexim/ginger-plunge-bra-365/

  I haven't tried it at all, and I'm not exactly sure what type of shapes this more extreme plunge would work for (I'm center-full, so I'm not sure if I would fall out of it...),but it's something to consider, I guess.

  With the Basic Padded Plunge, it would still show with some of my V-neck t-shirts, so this more extreme type of plunge I might try later on, perhaps it's better for summer? At the same time, this might be horrible on me, lol, so I.d.k....

  Okay, I just read re: the comments on Ginger, " it doesn't draw the bust forward like most polish bras" so I'm not sure I would ever try it.

  I'm not a fan of the "East-West" look, and I also need projection (immediate projection, I believe) in the cups, so I don't think their extreme plunge would work for me. (not that you asked...lol : )

  LOL yeah I’m hesitant to try the extreme plunge too I think I would fall out of the middle too...Thanks for the thoughts on it!
  Ah yes the days when we could go into stores and try things on. Now I do way too much online shopping and returning and selling etc. But as long as there are some good finds here and there, it’s good
