Best bra extender for 2 hook Comexim?
I ordered some Comexim bras. Two fit, and the third is way too tight in the band. The 60 band on the one that is too tight measures about 27.5 inches in the band, and there's absolutely no way I'm going to be able to get that small... can't squish bone into place.
Does anyone have a recommendation for 2 hook bra extenders that would work on Comexim bras? I see a bunch on Amazon but I'm leery of buying them and finding that they only fit on one hook. For anyone wondering which was too small, it's the Mint Plunge. It's just a half inch to 3/4 inches too small, so it's not a deal breaker to me and nothing an extender won't fix. I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from getting it if they love it (it's so pretty!); just size up or get an extender and you should be ok
Thanks in advance! (And I do plan on putting measurements and reviews of these up eventually)

Most time I shop for bra extenders they provide the size in the description, pretty often they state how far apart the hooks are too. You can just compare this to your bra. If the descriptions on Amazon aren't providing that information, the ones on eBay do.
My Comexims have three hooks. But I think Comexim uses cms between hook rows, standard North American extenders measured in inches won't line up quite right. You could order some cm extenders from Poland, or you can try to squish the closest inch unit (1/4 or half) on to the cm bra. I have done this, especially with cheeper extenders that are a little less exact and sturdy, and it can work out ok. Alternatively, if you can't find the right extender in two hooks, you can always use and extender with more hooks than the bra and just start at the bottom and leave the top hooks free. I sometimes bend the top edge of my three hook extenders overs and tape it with body tape if I have a lower backed top.
