Before I get into this reveiw, my shape is: narrow, projected, low-set, very full-on-bottom, short-rooted, very center-heavy. I also have a very, very squishy ribcage and a very pronounced tail of spence.

Now that we have that out of the way, I seriously think that this bra is mislabeled because it is SO the wrong size. It is so beautiful, and I really, really, really-really wanted it to work. I've heard such nightmares about ordering from Poland, and from Ewa Michalak especially, so I was really invested in learning whether or not Comexim was going to be a match for my difficult breast shape ("you're so lucky to have an in-matrix size!" they told me, "you'll be able to find bras at every department store the USA has to offer!" they told me). When this baby came up on r/braswap, I nearly peed with excitement. I couldn't imagine my luck!

From all of the research I have done, I honestly expected this to have similar immediate projection to my Ewa Michalak (which has plenty.) I am sad to report that this is the most shallow bra I have worn; It seriously rivals some Victorias Secret bras that I've tried on. Quadboob and ribcage squish every-damn-where; even my fiance immediately used the word "quadboob" and I was not even aware that he'd been listening to all my bra-fitting ranting.

Also, let's talk about the band for just a second: this bra is labeled as a 70/32, but in order to get the bra to 31" I have to pull so hard that the underwire distorts. Not sure how someone with a 31" ribcage is expected to squeeze into that and get a good, supportive, comfortable fit....

All in all, I am quite disappointed in Comexim and I doubt I will be purchasing one from the manufacturer. Perhaps if a 75E comes up on r/braswap I'll give that a try, but the odds of that happening are similar to the odds of getting struck by lightning whilst being bitten by a shark. I guess I'm just going to have to suck it up and order from Ewa Michalak!

  What is your UK size? A Comexim 70E is a UK 32DD. Could it be that it's too small all over?

  I was about to say the same. Comexim uses EU sizing, so no double letters. If you're an E in Ewa, you'd be an F in Comexim. Possibly a G in the Geisha since it tends to be smaller.

• I am a 32E in American sizes (or 32D3 in herroom sizes). I just went to check what size my Ewa Michalak actually is, but it turns out I can't actually read the tag anymore. (Also why I haven't entered the measurements for that Lato into my account: that bra is oooooold). I've been assuming that I'm a 70E but I could very well be a 70F in Polish sizes! That would do it! Geez, and I wonder why I can't have nice things.

• jlcl119 I hadn't realized EM and Comexim use different sizing. I should've done my research! That's what I get for impulse-buying, haha. Thanks!

  Yup. They both use EU bands, but Ewa uses UK cups. Comexim is EU all the way. I wear a 65E/F in Ewa and a 65G in Comexim.

  It'd be nice if they were standardized, it does get confusing and takes some trial and error.

• Yeah I wouldn't discount Comexim yet. On your profile you have a 34F Marcie listed as a fit (that would make you a 72G in Comexim!) and a 70E Ewa Lato listed as a fit. That would make you a 70F in Comexim. And like jlc said, the Geisha runs small (as does the Basic). No wonder it doesn't work for you.

• lcl0706 I wish I could edit that review, that damn Marcie NEVER fit properly - I just was really new at brafitting when I wrote that and I didn't know better! The EM Lato definitely DOES fit, though, I'm sure of that. Thanks for letting me know about the Comexim sizing though! I love that they do custom orders, and now that I know they use nonstandard sizing I feel more comfortable revisiting the idea of buying from the manufacturer.

  You can edit your review. Go into "my bras" and click on it. Then you can go into each section like "how it fits" and "write a review" and edit what you have.

• And I wear a 28G in UK and a 60J or 60K depending on the Comexim bra and what alterations are done.

  Don't count Comexim out yet :) I wear 80GG in EM and and 80 K in Comexim with reduced cup. The Geisha does run tight in the bad, and so does Tropical Garden. I think it has to do with the material of the bands. I still haven't been able to figure out how the sizes work, but I know what my size is in both brands, so that is all that matters. Lol. Once you get the right size, you will love Comexim! They are so comfy :)

  @MostlyNormal, isn't it cute when they learn brafitting terms? ;)
