My shape: even top/bottom fullness, outer full, close set when supported, round to teardrop, downward pointing nipples, slightly east-west.
Cuup is another hyped-up brand that I had to try just to see if the fit, comfort, and quality were worth the money. The Demi is Cuup's slightly-lined mesh spacer model, which I thought would be best for me since I don't normally enjoy wearing unlined bras that show my nipples. I ordered a cup size larger than I normally wear based on the sizing advice and reviews on their site.
I have to admit, I really liked the cup fabric - it's got that neat squishy ...foam feel to it, and provides just the right amount of coverage without real padding. I also liked the shiny cup edging, almost like a ribbon. I thought the overall appearance was nice. Unfortunately the rest of the materials weren't nearly what I was expecting for $75, though. The straps and clasp felt pretty low quality, and I'm not confident that the mesh of the band would hold up well.
The band doesn't have much stretch and is a bit more snug than I prefer in my usual 32. The cup fabric felt fine against my skin - that part was comfortable. The cheap materials of the clasp and straps were a bit scratchy. The cups fit a bit too wide for me and the wires are longer most bras that fit me well, but I didn't experience any poking in the brief time I wore it.
Despite being a cup size larger, the fit was just a little off. Non-tacking gore, and some quadboob on my larger side. On my smaller side, space at the bottom and sides of the cup and a tiny bit of gaping. I think going up to a G would be way too large for my smaller boob.
The main reason I'm not going to try a different size is the lack of support and lift. Sure, my larger boob was mostly enclosed in the cup okay, but I didn't feel this bra was particularly doing anything for me. It's not terrible, but to keep it for $75, I would have to love it.

Did you happen to take their fit quiz? This is the size they recommended for me. Their calculator does the whole +2 thing for band size. I am significantly smaller than you (not as small as my profile would suggest - haven't taken any new photos at my new size). But darn that gore looks really wide! Like so wide. What women fit check these bras for these people and are OK with that gore being that wide? The top of the gore is alright but they just get so wide. It's a shame, the brand seemed so promising. I loved their designs. :-(
LeProfessor I did take their fit quiz, which recommended my usual size of 32E - but reading the reviews on the site, it sounded like many women got the best fit going up a cup size. It’s close, but like I said, just not enough shaping or support for $75, in addition to the quality issues and cup fit.
The gore is very wide! I think that may be part of the reason it floats on me. Bummer, because I do like the design.
This bra is very pretty IMO. It's got very stiff wires and is meant for someone with both more upper fullness and outer fullness. Since I'm FOB and like middle fullness I quad and have wrinkles at the top.
This bra is for someone with a bit more upper and outer fullness than me. It's giving quadding and wrinkles on the top of the cup. Very stylish though 10/10 on aesthetics. Its also got a mega wide wire.
Fits good for FOB shapes, and somewhat close shapes, if you are wide and shallow like me this will be a fantastic bra for you its wires are mega stiff though.
I'm very center full with narrow roots, and not shallow.
First off, I've read a lot of poor reviews about cuup bras. I decided to buy this one anyway because I liked the green color. The band fits comfortably. It is seamed and not glued together. The band is double layered, folded and seamed together at the bottom. It has a structural zigzag seam holding the two layers together, and a cosmetic straight seam (I think to prevent the two layers from twisting?) The straight seam immediately popped and broke in multiple places when I first put the bra on, but this doesn't seem to be an actual problem, ...the bra isn't falling apart or anything and I can't see any visible tears or issues. The cups are way too wide for me, one of the widest I've tried on. The wires are flexible enough not to cause discomfort though. The cups fit pretty well (except for the 1.5" of extra space on the outside), but would probably give me more lift if they weren't so wide. One thing about this bra is that the material stains very easily. The first time I wore it, my deodorant (a natural, oil based one) transferred to the sides of the cups and stained before I had even finished getting dressed. The stains have not washed out either. I don't know if it would stain from sweat as well, but definitely be careful about lotions or oil based products. Overall, I did keep this bra purely because of the color. It gives me a more rounded shape, which I like, and is pretty comfortable. The band size seems to run small, but is so stretchy it's not a problem. Read more 174 more words
fit really well when i first got it, i was telling everyone to go out and buy a cuup bra. after about 6 months the underwire has started poking horribly and the cups seem to have stretched out. so glad i didn't pay full price for this!
