This is the Shirohato Comuse Aphrodite bra (from Japan). Bratabase didn't recognise the model so I had to select Unknown. I wouldn't normally write a complicated review, but reviews would have been helpful when I was purchasing this bra, as shopping in Japan is insanely difficult if you don't speak the language, so here goes!

First I have to say this is definitely the ugliest bra I have ever purchased. Like, appliqué flowers, really???! What is up with Japanese underwear fashion?? But I wanted to try a Japanese bra since I'm in Japan and I really can't find a bra that fits me anywhere. I think I need really narrow, projected cups. I wear Ewa Michalak at the moment but they are too wide for me. So I figured why not try Japanese bras while I'm here? Google told me Japanese cup sizes are very small, so I ordered the biggest cup size and smallest band size in the cheapest bra I could find online (the closest bra shop is over 2 hours away), and this is what I got.

The bra is Japanese size i65, and the cups are wayy too big. I am happy with this cos there's a lot more option in smaller sizes! I'm thinking I'll probably be a g65 or an h65. I currently wear 65g in Ewa Michalak. I think the band fits pretty well on the loosest hooks, but seems pretty stretchy.

The bra itself is padded, and has removable pads, which are quite thick.

The underwires are as narrow as the Ewa michalak bras that I wear, but as this bra is too big for me, I'm hoping this will fit in a smaller size. The cup depth measures the same as my current best fitting bra (Ewa michalak pieperszk) so I don't really understand why this bra is too big on me, unless it's just way too big at the top. I guess I will figure this out when I swap it for a smaller size, and I will update this review. I'm also hoping this bra in a smaller size will give me some great cleavage! As I can't find any bras that will achieve this with my boobs since I grew out of Victoria's Secret!

I may make the 2 and a half hour trek to the nearest physical bra store this week sometime and hope they have some large cup sizes... Will hopefully add some more Japanese bras when I do!

  When the system does not recognise the model you can still add it. There is the option in the left bottom corner : "can't find the model? add it!". Click on that and type in the model name, code etc.

• silver the measurements look a lot like what i need... would you perhaps like to share wehere did you buy this bra? :)

  I've once heard about a rule of thumb that if a the largest cup of a Japanese bra model is F or G, then it likely runs small in the cup; but if the largest cup is I or J, then it is likely true to size. It is not very accurate, but sometimes helps. The expensive models/big brands are likely true to size too.

  Hope to see more information about the Japanese bras! I am trying to maintain a list of Japanese bras on bratabase (http://bra.pe/LEqM/), and there are not many of them right now.
