I love this bra.
I don't typically buy "basic" bras anymore (that's all I used to wear) but I knew I needed one.
For interviews I've been wearing an Aerie Lindsey 32D and I can't scoop and swoop so it's mostly uncomfortable.
I put the Lindsey up for sale after ordering my Comexims.
As usual, up front and center cups, no pushing in side tissue awkwardly, or lettinf it flop to the sides. Wires touch, gore height is perfect, cup height is perfect.
I was a bit worried about cup height, especially after trying the 60HH (65H).
That's one size up but it looks so much bigger by comparison.
Really not sure what's up with ... that xD
The band is taut; I thought it was too tight at first but then I realized I had it way too far up my back. After sitting it where it should be, I realized that mine is definitely TTS.
I guess maybe I ought to stop saying that with 30 bands, because I'm measuring 29", but I honestly think it could go another inch.
Cup depth is perfect for me. Not too deep or too shallow. I swear, I love Comexim.
The gore doesn't tack perfectly. I'm not sure what exactly is causing that, as the band is firm and the cups are definitely large enough.
Anyway, this works with my shape. I'm mostly even but functionally FoB. I noticed in the 60HH basic beige, it seemed to be made for FoT people. Possibly explaining the upper gap.
The 65G however, measures the same in the top and bottom of the cup. It's for even boobs.. Has anyone else noticed more space up top on the 60HH/70H+ bras, or did I just get a special one?
The Basic 65G in white is so different, and cups aren't as high.
Other than that, padding, like the other Comexims, is very minimal. It's a thin layer of foam. Very comfy. The cups have a somewhat shiny, soft material on the outsides and band.
Band feels super supportive in this one, unlike my 70G (my mistake) and 65H Joy Hc and Longline.
Straps are fully adjustable.
So I'd say if you're even or just very slightly FoB/FoT, with close set boobs naturally of when lifted, and need narrow wires, the Basic is excellent.
I also want to add that I have tall roots/pecs or something, but very shallow.
I was concerned about cup height, especially after trying the 60HH.
These cups aren't high on me or deep, which is great. I can't say that for the60HH which is definitely FoT.
If you're concerned at all, consider ordering lowered cups.
I'm super happy to finally have a supportive, comfortable, simple bra.
Yay Comexim! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Edit:
I wore this all day yesterday. At the end of the day, I was super happy to see that the wires came less than half an inch away from my tissue. I have an uncommon IMF, so it's mostly impossible to find narrow enough wires with enough cup depth. This, and my Coco are the best.
I wish I could say the same for the Joys, but unfortunately, at least the Longline runs pretty wide.

The cups on my Basic (and most everyone else's) seem to run about a half cup smaller than most of the other plunges, and that makes the band feel even tighter. :/ It's got the same depth and band length, but the center projection is decidedly less than, say, the projection on the Free Time.
That said, Basic is still my go-to t-shirt bra.
