This is one of two bras that Sonya sent to me for Bra Science. Initially, she offered to send me a 30G/65HH Comexim Jade Plunge, but offered this in addition, as I hadn’t tried any CHP bras at that point. I had no idea how the size or shape would be for me. Aesthetically, this bra isn’t a style I’d normally pick for myself, but it was the fact that it was a 65FF CHP which was new to me is why I agreed to get it sent with the Comexim.
The bra is a very pale pink material with very small black polka dots, ... black lace edging the top of the cup, a small black satin bow at the gore, and a sort of faux corset lace up in the middle cup section of the 3 pieces which are edged in black ribbons with a smaller thin pale pink ribbon threaded or weaved through (this ribbon style is also covering the straps). There’s a standard U back/leotard back, in black to contrast. Lastly, the foam cups are lined with cotton cookie pockets that cover the lower portion of the cups. I’ve heard about the infamous CHP cookie pockets and being notoriously hard to use by contrast to the PL and S styles, but I don’t think I was fully prepared for the hell that these are. I almost decided not to bother with trying to remove them, but for bra science and fit, I had to. What I wasn’t aware of is how the pockets have some kind of mesh with a little slit in the center which faces the inside of the bra cup. I was afraid that I’d damage the slit in removing them. I know that it’s been described in reviews before but I couldn’t picture it. Maybe I’d never seen or what I had seen was only part of it? The cookies themselves are a little oddly shaped, sorta like fish with no tails. I really don’t understand why this is the pocket style of choice for this model. Why, Ewa, WHY?
I actually like some of the aesthetics of this bra, but not all. I love polka dots for a start. While I am not a huge pink fan, I do like the contrast with the black dots and black lace trim on the top of the cups and the ribboning on the straps. The pink is actually pretty nice with my skin tone, I think. The part that I really dislike is the faux corset lace up look on that middle cup panel. I feel like it distorts the appearance of my boobs or something. I don’t know. I prefer the look of this style in the M cut the best.
When I initially tried the bra on, I had not adjusted the straps and had a bit of obvious quadding, though upon loosening them, the cups do still appear to be a little bit small. I was also a few days pre period, so now that I am a few days into my cycle, I fell like it’s maybe still a bit small but I really don’t know if I can pull off a 65G(!). I have noted which pictures have the cookies. I honestly don’t think that it’s a significant difference between the two looks but maybe it’s a size issue. I’m getting a pretty nice rounded shape which is less minimizing than the Comexim 3HC. This band does feel pretty good, and the straps seem ok, but like all Ewas, slightly wide for my frame. I am even more hesitant about a 65G because of the straps. I lack the ability to sew and move the straps in but maybe I can ask the lady at the bras shop near me since she allegedly can do alterations.
While there are many redeeming qualities of this bra, it’s ultimately not my favourite CHP style, and the size is still questionable whether it’s a size small still. I will be returning it to Sonya with thanks of gratitude for sending it to me to try. I’m tempted to try a 65G given rachaelll ’s success with the one she got recently (but had to alter the straps on).

I agree it is too small in the cup, but does still look good on you. I love the look the CHP gives, but I am sized out of the style..theOh well, I can't have them all!
