Ehh it works. But you may end up fighting a losing battle against the dreaded quad boob not to mention the oober skinny two hook band isn't giving you any leeway on the battle front of the severe frumpy look .

A molded bra in an H Cup!? You know I had to try it. I've only tried on so far and I must say I'm impressed. Cups are deep enough to hold all of me in. It feels secure even though it's a plunge. I'm not sure how it will hold up with wear. I'm always nervous about plunges so I'm not sure yet if I want to risk keeping it. The band is firm. Doesn't even quite stretch to 34 inches but a 36 would probably loosen too quick. The gore is almost tacking but I think that's due to the gore being ... a little too wide for my close set boobs. Despite this the bra seems to be stable. Need a firm band in a Plunge like this. Makes my boobs look like they're not even real ( in a good way, no offense to those rocking implants. Takes a good bra to get these heavy girls looking perky). Wires are a tad wide so a little tight in the armpit area. Another con is the infamous 2 hooks on Cleo bras. Haven't they gotten the memo yet? Not sure if I'm going to keep it. Don't want to be stuck with another bra that seemed like a good idea at the time. I'll update the review.
Update: I've decided to return it. I think the armpit area will be too uncomfortable and the band is really tight. I could probably fit a 36H cup too but that might cause even more armpit problems. I'll stick with my new Curvy Kates.

I want to love this bra! The first time I tried on this bra, I fastened to the last hook. The wires felt a touch too narrow, and I kept having to re-scoop/swoop myself in it to get the bottom outsides of my breast tissue in. The straps were kind of wide, and I was pressing up against the top edge. I thought that was weird, because I've determined I'm really not that FOT. I fell in love with the projection and shape, though, and jotted down to try it the next cup size up. Now, I tried this on before all the others I purchased that day, ... and when I was looking at my notes to determine returns and re-orders, I determined that none of that sounded right. The cups on this bra are some of the deepest I've ever seen, and I know I'm not FOT enough to come out of it... so I tried it back on and walked around a bit, and caught a glimpse of the band riding up in the back

Sure enough, I pulled it, and it was way stretchy—I fastened it on the first hook instead, re-scooped myself in, and it was a totally different story. No more top spillage, no more escaping out the bottom sides, and the band stayed put. I hadn't read that Cleo was particularly stretchy in the band, but I am definitely going to be trying this one in a 32HH. The projection is out of this world!!

I am a bit disappointed to hear that the different color ways of this bra vary wildly in how the band runs, because that's a pain the ass to try to buy. I got the tangerine, and I heard the bluebell has a similar band problem, but looking here it seems like other colors run up to a size too tight in the band! That's a big shame because I would totally buy this bra in every color if I could predict which exact size I would need in each.

I recently went up a size, so it's back to the drawing board, trying to find new bras that fit. This one fits the bill! Really projected, fits similar to Lily but with a stretch lace upper. Annoyingly, I get that weird in-cup quadboob along the seam between the lace and the bottom of the cup. I was able to remedy this with a thin moulded foam insert that came with another bra. It hasn't affected the fit, so it's a good solution for me.

This is a nice bra, but its like a balconett so it doesn't work all that well. I am already on the last set of hooks because the band is too big (and its black!!), yet I must constantly pull it down. Funny though that I would have to do that considering my boobs "punch" lol this bra down due to them not having enough room at the bottom of the cup, so the front of the band is constantly folding under. The wires are still too wide 😔. I was hoping they wouldn't be since Cleo is supposed to be narrower. Oh well, I have a comexim on the way so we'll see how that goes, maybe then I can sell or exchange this for a 34GG deco that strangely seems to fit despite the surgery I will have to do to the band.

I initially tried on and purchased the Cleo Juna in 36GG, but came to find the band loose and cup small. When I found the 34H and 36H on sale on Amazon a few weeks later, I bought them both to try and ended up keeping each one for different reasons.

This one, the 34H, fit the best in the band out of any of the Junas I had tried. It was firm, comfortable, and held my underwires in place. Unfortunately, the cups were still too small.

Overall the material of this bra is awesome, soft, comfortable, and the straps are nice and thin. The nude/beige was really close to ... my skin tone and the vertical seaming on the cups gave an excellently lifted round shape, so this was basically the bra I wish I could have surgically attached (with the exception of the quad boob from the slightly-too-small cups).

In this cup size, the Juna has great immediate lower volume AND is open at the top of the cup (The first letter of its name is basically the shape it has in profile: J), so women with an equally full shape in the upper and lower breast, or women who are mostly even but slightly fuller on top, will do really well in this bra.

The lace on the cups is designed to be floppy (if it lays flat against your boob then the size is to small!) which can show under thin, clingy knit tops if it gets bunched up. But for the most part I've found this bra to have no show through whatsoever despite being seamed and lined/lightly padded.

Odd fit on me for a Panache brand. The straps are still too wide, but the bra doesn't shift down like other Panaches do on me. the fabric is a light mesh which does have a slightly scratchy feel to it. The top of the cups have a pretty diamond-pattern soft lace, but it's not stretchy. I can usually fit this size in most bras, but this one fans out on the top of the cup, and the gore won't tack. If I push the gore down, the cups start to fit better, but it won't stay where it needs to.

Before Ewa Michalak, this was my most favorite bra ever! Excellent projection and in-your-face look. Texture of lower cup is a bit scratchy but manageable.

I got this from another bratabase user. I was interested in how juna fits since Darcy (Juna's sister) 34gg fitted me well before my boobs have grown. However, Juna 34H does not fit that well. The gore is too tall. And the cups are too wide and shallow. Maybe I get to feel uncomfortable because I was spoiled by Polish bra's very narrow wires and relatively short gores. lol

Anyway Juna would be a good everyday bra for someone has tall roots. I also like the size consistency. This fits almost exactly same as other Cleo 34H size does. The band is firm like other cleo and panache bands.

One of my go to bras. I love the round shape and support. I need a lot of projection and this has just enough. The wires are too wide for me and the wing is pretty much up on my armpit but it's not uncomfortable and I wear it often. The top of the cups wrinkle slightly but it doesn't show under clothes. I'm pretty even but have very soft tissue and that makes it hard to fill FOT bras. I'm narrow and fairly close set but the gore doesn't bother me on this one.

I've been looking for lily 34h swan print ver. and finally found it! I bought it from another bratabase's user. As I expected the fit is great except the strap. Just like other cleo bras the strap set is too wide for my chest, but it gives a nice and uplifted shape. The band is quite loose, so that I could fasten it on the tightest hook as soon as I wore it (for the reference my u.b is 33~34.5)

I LOVE this bra! It is arguably best fitting and most comfortable bra. I almost didn't get it as it is described as "padded", but really it just has moulded cups (I wouldn't call it padded). I like that the straps are a continues strip of elasticated fabric without seams; this makes it more comfortable and means that I can adjust it to any length without worrying about seams or jointed straps digging in to my shoulders. The straps do not slip longer through out the day as they have striations or grooves along their length that allows the clasp to stay in place. ... I am glad that I went down in band and up in cup compared to my usually size, as I think a 36 band would have been too large. I also think the flamigo print is adorable. As a note, the background is more of a yellow green than a sunshine yellow.

Update: Although I still love this bra, I find that the band is wildly unstable. I really wish it was 3 hooks instead of 2. It doesn't seem to anchor that well and tightening the band doesn't help. I have seen others comment that Cleo's commitment to 2 hook only bras is a poor design choice, and I am starting to agree!

This bra is really pretty and I absolutely love the way it fits my shape. Unfortunately it's the wrong size for me and a little uncomfortable.

The Juna: One of the most comfortable bras I have ever tried on.
I really love it. The materials are so soft, the straps are perfect, the gore tacks and even though it is a great everyday bra, it isn't ugly. Incredibly comfortable.

Sadly, though, I am a 30HH now and the 34H is way too big for me.

Just arrived today. The band is probably going to be too loose - on the last hook right away, and not even remotely tight. Should have gone with 32HH https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />.

Pros:
Good side support;
very strong forward projection - to the point of making me feel self-conscious (I'm use to being tightly squeezed and secretly spilling everywhere);
feels supportive and comfortable
for the first time EVER the gore tacks!!!
Everything is neatly contained within the cups, no cutting in, no spillage.

Cons:
loose band - my mistake in ordering 34h instead of 32hh.

The straps, after a couple (hand) washes, unfortunately became less 'grippy' and now like to fall off my shoulders throughout the day. I also have sloping shoulders, so I imagine that doesn't help. I love the rounded profile this bra gives me. The two hook band is surprisingly supportive.

Simply didn't fit - too big.

This is a good bra! It's still one cup size too small for me and it cuts into the top of my breasts as a result, but it's definitely wearable and very cute. It doesn't give me any cleavage, which is expected, but it also has no side support at all which I don't like. The straps are slightly too far, although I have sloped shoulders so this probably wouldn't be a problem for anyone else. The band is comfortable. This is my first non-molded bra and it's an overall pleasant experience. It has stretched out a little bit so far, although I got it used so I expected as such. It can kind of dig into my sides sometimes.

Pretty comfy for not quite fitting right. The wires are a little too wide and tall for me.

I really wanted to like this bra, but unfortunately it just doesn't work for me. The diagonal seem cuts into my breast tissue and causes an artificial quad-boob effect. The wires are also just a bit too wide for me and therefore the shape at my side is not what I would like.
