I have the 70L - Comexim » Onyks Non-padded Half Cup Underwire Bra (CMONYK from Breakout Bras in 32HH (BoB’s sizing) because the band runs stretchy. I noticed that around my period, the cup on that one is just a tiiiiiiiiny bit small on my larger side. So when I ordered this padded Comexim Elise 3HC from Breakout Bras, I decided to bump it up one cup but in my normal band size, so I got a 34HH. (Note that this is NOT a 34HH if ordering directly from Comexim; it is BoB’s sizing.) The band is true to size on this one, decently stretchy but ... not so stretchy that you’d want to size up.

The Onyks is a little more forgiving of shape differences and changes than this Elise, since the Elise is padded. The Elise does fit my larger side decently when my breasts are larger around my period. On the smaller breast, or for both when my breasts are smaller, the bra is a little gappy at the top. It’s not really noticeable under a shirt and can be smoothed out with a thin tank top so while it isn’t perfect, this bra is still a good one to have in my collection.

If you don’t have much top fullness, then I would advise going up 2 sizes for your Comexim size in this one and not 3 like I did. (I have some fullness on top when supported.) The straps are pretty wide set, as Comexim straps tend to be. If ordering this one directly from Comexim, I think I’d order the same size but request to have the straps moved in 2 cm and possibly have the gore shortened, or maybe just have them overlap the wires? There is room for the gore to tack if I push it with my finger, but I think it floats just a little because Comexim doesn’t use super firm wires. The cups have plenty of room and good room for projection at the wire so it isn’t breast tissue pushing the gore forward. Overall, the bra is comfortable and flatters my breast, despite the few fit issues. It’s padded but not molded or stiff.

The color is very pretty in person. If you’re fair-skinned with pinkish undertones, it will work as a neutral. If you are darker, then it’s just a nice, soft pink and tan. The seams may be visible if you’re wearing a thin or very fitted top. The seams are less obvious if I’m wearing a looser or patterned top. (The same is generally true of the gapping I have at the top of the bra.) I haven’t had this bra very long so I think the seams may be less noticeable after a few more wears and washes, too.

I’d say if you generally like Comexim 3HC bras, this runs very similarly to their other 3HCs so you should be fine if ordering your usual Comexim size (and usual Comexim alterations, if you typically ask for changes to the straps or gore).
