I like this bra, and I bought two more of the same colour/same size! I guess I am a boring person like that (looks at Sonya's colourful bra collection...), but I got to have something to keep the girls covered! I thought about ordering the Megan Plunge, https://www.bratabase.com/browse/comexim/megan-plunge-653/, just to have this same style in a different colour, but then I also read that their black bras can run tight?? and I didn't want to risk it not fitting, when I really need a few good-fitting bras a.t.m.

My shape: FOB, projected, both narrow roots with average root height, centre-full.

Some thoughts on ... this bra: since I live in Canada, I'm thinking this bra will do well as a 3-season bra - fall, winter, spring. Since it is a padded bra, I'm thinking I might want something lighter for the summertime, but if I lived in a hot climate, this might only work as a winter bra...not sure. I did live in California for nine years (the central valley) and I probably wouldn't wear this type of bra in the 100F+ summer weather, I just would sweat too much.

As soon as I tried on this bra, I was like, "I will take two," it fits that well, lol. Of course, I'm comparing to the poorly fitting 32DD/34DD bras from V.S. that I was stuffing myself into before I discovered by ABTF size, sooo...this is obviously much better.

There is a handy dandy app now, created by Reddit users u/mathandplants, u/EuphoricToe1, and u/winsbe01, that helps one convert her UK size ---->Comexim size, or her UK size ------> Comexim bra size when ordering from Breakout Bras (if that makes sense...if any ? ask below) Here is a link to that app http://comeximcalc.herokuapp.com/

Of note: on the Breakout Bras website, they recommend "sizing up" 1 or 2 cup sizes. According to ABTF mods, this is a bit simplified; depending on what one's cup size is, she should size up 1,2,3, or even 4 cups sizes. Honestly, now that the app has been invented-- as long as one has determined her accurate UK bra size--I think it's better to use the app as a starting point, and she shouldn't be that far off for Comexim sizing. Those are my thoughts on sizing!!

It can be confusing when ordering Comexim bras from Breakout Bras since they use different labels.

I find this bra to be very comfortable and supportive, I like what it does to my posture. Furthermore, the colour works well as nude, and it doesn't show through any of my clothing, even a very thin shirt. At first I thought it was a little itchy, but it doesn't really bother me anymore. At this price point, I have very few complaints about this bra; I recommend it for people who are a similar shape/size as me.

disclaimer: from my opening paragraph, I'm not saying this bra is boring in any way. It has a simple aesthetic that I enjoy. It's understated. Plus, it works for me b/c I wear a lot of thin shirts (in Canada, yes...the heat is always pumping), and this bra doesn't show through colour or texture: in my opinion, it's a good workhorse bra. I think this also doubles a T-shirt bra for me.

I ordered a Comexim Basic in Beige with custom straps with added length, since I often times have trouble with straps not adjusting long enough for me. I went with a 70HH. I have one other comexim that is a 70J, that is just a teeny bit too large in the cups. I was very impressed with the customer service, and how quickly I recieved the bra. I had heard that it could take upwards of a month from when the order was placed. I placed my order on Sept 10, and recieved it Sept 26! (I live in the US)

The bra is beautiful, and very well ... constructed. Others have reported the material to be scratchy, but actually find it incredibly soft. The seems aren't very noticeable under clothes, so I think it will be a great every day bra. From other bratabase users' photos it looked like the material might be really shiny, but in real life it's just a subtle sheen.

So onto the fit:
I am typically a 30GG or 32G in UK brands, though I tend to be on the larger end of those sizes in the cup. I have a 70J blue magic that was a teeny bit too big, but the 70HH basic is just a little too small in the cups. I don't get quadboob, but the boobage tries to escape a bit out of the sides (a problem I don't have with the 70J). I am pretty happy with both sizes. The wires are narrow, and are very close to sitting on breast tissue for me. I don't think I could go any narrower. I like them as is though. The straps are really stretchy, which I don't think is the best for support, but they definitely adjust long enough for me which is great! The band is perfect for me. (My snug underbust is 30.5", I often prefer sizing up to a 32 band).It feels a bit tighter than a true 32 band, but not quite as snug as a 30. The cups give a really uplifted look, very front and center. The shape isn't as round as Ewa Michalak or the freya deco. It's more natural, but definitley not pointy. Oh yea..this is the only bra that gives even better, more natural cleavage than the deco.

Overall, this bra is beautiful, comfy and functional for everyday life. I was really impressed with Comexim's turnaround time. The price was good too ($45 including shipping). I definitely recommend this bra and company https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This is the first plunge style I have ordered from Comexim, all of my other bras are Comexim half cups. The wire width, narrow cups, and projection are just as good as the half cups, and I really like it. It gives the girls a nice shape. My only complaint is that it does rub me a little in my armpits, but not as much as other brands I have tried. I'm wondering if that will improve with time, since my other seamed bra from Comexim did the same thing until I broke it in a little bit. I do think that it's a little plain for my taste, but it's nice to have a basic nude color bra. I'm pretty pale, and it matches my skin tone well. The bows and pearl detail on the gore helps add to the look.

This bra has a UK size tag only. This change has been made for Canadian distribution. I have the Comexim Pantera in 70H and it is slightly small so I went one size up with this one. At first try, I had a small amount of gaping at the bottom of the cups by the center gore. I fixed this by inserting the cookies from one of my Ewa Michalak bras. This is a very comfortable bra and gives a nice rounded and uplifted shape. The seams do show a bit under a plain shirt.
