lilcrasher , I read your Satami underwired bra and wireless bra reviews. Can you confirm that though your usual UK size is 32F and the Satami underwired bra fit well in a 34G, you received the wireless bra in 34E? If you did find the 34E wireless to be as good a fit as the 34G underwired bra, can you pinpoint why both are good fits, when they are two cup sizes apart?
I was going to buy the same underwired bra model in a tan color, but I changed my mind. I like the pinkish color of the wireless bra better. I'm confused about sizing for the wireless.
BTW, if you did get the 34E wireless, the product number is 2197, which is the C-E cup model.
Did Satami offer your readers a discount code? They charge California sales tax, which is high, and their shipping charges are high. Even worse is their No Refunds, Exchange Only Within 7 Days policy. This would all be easier to take with a coupon code.
Yes. I received a wired bra in 34G and a wireless bra in 34E and both fit me. I currently wear a 32F/32E in UK sizing. I go into a bit more detail on my first Satami post: https://multifariousmommy.blogspot.com/2017/05/satami-bras.html
In general though. For a wireless bra, you can "get away" with your normal size or sister size up due to the fact it lacks wires. Its more or less business as usual. (Though I highly recommend sizing up in the band unless you are accustomed to wearing corsets or your regular size in Polish bras). As for the underwire bra cups being 2 sizes bigger than the equivalent cup size, it has to do with the cups and wires themselves - very similar to needing to size up in band and cup on Polish bras. Perhaps someone else can chime in on this? My guess is that first, these are "lightly lined" bras vs fabric cups. I believe a lot of women need to go up a cup size due to the thickness of the cups - even in UK bras. Also keeping in mind most Asian bras are geared towards maximizing cleavage, thus lower center gores and less fabric in general. The Satami websites actually recommends going up a cup size for more "coverage". There is at least one other on bratabase who tried on a Satami bra in their cup size who reported nipples popping out. When I tried on the 34F in store (took a lot of convincing to even start at that size), the cups were too small. Lots of quadding at the top and wrinkles at the wire (not enough immediate projection).
Hmm, interesting, lilcrasher . My questions don't stem from ignoring your reviews, by the way. I read all of them, including the first Satami post, multiple times. I'm one of the rare ones who takes the same size in lined and unlined bras, Polish and UK. I usually take my UK size in Ewa Michalak bras, though my Comexim via Wellfitting Extra Deep Plunge did work in a sister size up. I'll probably try the wireless in 32E and hope to get results similar to yours. Thanks!
Lucky you! Wearing the same size in Polish and UK certainly makes ordering easier! I wear a 70H in Comexim and the band is ever so slightly too tight - so I wear it on my skinny days. I was able to wear a 70 band in Satami as well but have the same issue - creates extra bulges under the bra. >.<
I tried this bra on in both 34E and 34G (about a month apart) .. I didn't really see a difference - probably because it's wireless. You'll likely be fine in your usual size. 😀
UPDATE 6/29/17: I now own this one in 34E! Review on my blog: http://multifariousmommy.blogspot.com/2017/06/satami-bra-review.html
Tried this one on in the store - did not purchase.
After all this flurry about Satami bras and the inevitable fit questions, I decided it was time for a trip to the store as it is easily accessible to me and I felt a strange sense of responsibility. LOL.
For those outside of Los Angeles, there are some shopping links and tips on my blog http://multifariousmommy.blogspot.com/2017/05/satami-bras.html
About me: FoB, narrow set, short/wide roots, sloped shoulders, 32F (UK)
I wear a 34G in Satami. Let that sink in. Size up in band do to the ... extra wide band = tighter band. In general, I could probably fit in a 32 band as my tight underbust is only 29 (i'm extra squishy) but it would have been slightly uncomfortable? Also, Satami doesn't make a 32H. Size up in cups because most of Satami bras (and most Asian bras in general) are all about the cleavage.
This is billed as a wireless sport bra. The sales woman initially told me sleep bra. it's pretty supportive for a wireless bra or pretty standard for a sports bra. With one difference - the girls are not smashed together or against my chest. As such, its probably not a compression type of sports bra. It is however, very structured. It gives the girls a nice rounded appearance and dare I say it, a dash of sexy! I'm not convinced it'll hold up to a round of cardio but should be fine for yoga and other lightweight exercise.
My favorite aspects about this bra are: stylish design, hook and eye closure in the back (busty ladies with small bands holy grail!), and supporting the girls with minimal compression.

Oh my! I'm so tempted. Wire -free, comfortable support :-) :-)
I understand what you mean about a sense of responsibility. Thank you for going out and doing the research!
We practiced EC, too <3 <3
