Bra fitting help » Cups fall down, plus gapping in one cup,


Cleo » Lily Balconnet Bra (7351) » 32G 32:9

Issue #1 = Straps to dig in, on the one side it doesn't hurt on the left side (my left) it does dig in a little more I have to use one of those bra strap things to be able to wear it without pain.

Issue #2 = The cups fall down after a minute or so after wearing it?
(in the last 2 pics you should be able to see the line.)

Issue #3 = The one cup has gaping, but the other has a very slight quad boob effect.
(when I pull the bra up the gaping gets bigger.)

So I was wondering if there were any size recommendations, and alternative bras?
(If it makes a difference, when I look in the mirror while standing I'd say I'm slightly top heavy but if I do the bend over test it doesn't look bottom or top heavy, it's pretty even.)

Thanks for any help!
===========
Different issues with 3 different bras (mainly going to talk about the one that has Issue #2 too):

Before I got this bra I got a Fantasi Rebecca Spacer in a 32G, and at the time I figured it fit because in the bras I tried before it had issues I noticed right away. (34F Cleo Erin noticeable quadboob on both breast and 32FF Cleo Neve, I would spill if I bent over. Both of these had the straps digging in issue, the Neve was of a lesser offense than the Erin and Lily ones. The Rebecca I had no strap digging issue, in fact I had them adjusted to where they're kind of 'floating', but not to the point they'd fall off.)

The band on the Rebecca (Lily felt pretty snug, but not tight) was extremely tight at first! I couldn't tell whether it was too tight or not because it did hurt a little, but after 3 days it settled itself comfortably.
About 2 weeks later is when I actually noticed that there was quite a bit of space under the boobs in the bra. (also unlike Lily, Rebecca had no top gaping.) And after I realized that ever since it's started bugging me, and it'd feel uncomfortable to realize the front was sliding down, cuz' it feels more comfortable when I pulled the wire up directly under the tissue.

In all of them, the gore was flat against my skin.

=========
Regarding the Neve one, would that one be an impossible fit for me even in a different size? If it weren't for the spilling when bending or the straps digging, I'd say I liked that one the best? The material was the nicest and also liked the lift it gives the best. -I don't know if there was the undergaping issue with that one though, I didn't wear it long enough to find that out as the spillage negated keeping it.- The Rebecca one had the least desirable lift, but the only do-able straps.
