    60J

    Hasn't set fit

    I bought it in size 60J because my comexim bras before was size 60HH and they gave me slight quadboob appearance. Why didn't I buy a new one in size 60I? 😂 I forgot there is "I" between H and J when I made an order.... I don't know what to do. If any one wants to exchange or buy it, please tell me.

      Comexim actually doesn’t do I cups! They do single letters except for HH, which replaces I. If HH was too small then J should be right; sounds like one of your bras was made inconsistently.

    • Oh really? That explains a lot... Thanks! I might need to go back to 60HH. It gave me minor quadboob but 60J is definitely too big.

    Fits

    I got this one to use as an everyday, practical, workhorse bra. I hoped the modifications would make it perfect, and the fit is pretty good, but not perfect. Cups are still wider than I need and the straps are still widely placed and in my armpits a little. The overall cup size is good but there still isn't quite enough projection above the wire so the wires sit about 3/4 inch below my IMF. Compared to my Yellow Bird which I ordered in the same size with the same modifications, it fits similarly but the cups seem a smidge shorter (which is a good thing) and the band is tighter. I can barely get it to stretch to 25". The overall comfort is pretty good except for it eating my armpits and pushing into my ribs as it rides down. Overall, this bra looks good and gives me that 'locked and loaded' feeling that I like.

    • It still looks pretty good though. Maybe a different set of alterations to include more depth at the bottom would fit better.

    • Thanks! I might try asking for more depth at the wire next time. I wonder if I'd still have to size up with that or if I could get away with a K??

    • The cup height looks good on this one. Did you ask for the straps to be moved in? Looks good on you. Can't believe the band only stretches to 25" though...that's not even a 55 band! I just ordered another 60J 3HC from Comexim... the band better stretch to at least 27" otherwise I'll have to start ordering 65" bands again.

    • Yes, I asked the straps to be moved in for all 3 of them. I'm not sure any of them were, though. They are all in my arm pits. I also don't think cup height was reduced on the Yellow Bird, but I think it was on this one. Most of the new 60 bands I get from Comexim seem to average about 26". I have had one or two that were 28" and a couple of 25". Which new 3HC did you order?

    • I ordered an older one that I've always had my eye on. I got the Diane in a 3HC (not a longline) and matching thongs in medium. I hope I like it in person (sometimes pictures can be deceptive). I didn't want the straps on the Aida, and I wanted another padded half cup. I almost ordered the matthiola instead, but changed my mind at the very last minute. I hope the band stretches enough...

    • 1

      Diane is lovely. You will have so many gorgeous prints! I do love a beautiful bra. :)

    • I keep looking at Matthiola. There’s so many great prints.

    • Yeah I've almost ordered it twice now... don't know why I keep on hesitating!

    • 1

      I know why I have. It looks a lot like the Belen with the piping on top and I’m not sure about that part of the fit. I’m worried about it showing through. Maybe if it’s got the same mauve lace my Triss has. Or maybe I just need the right size and alterations. The other issue is that I simply don’t wear a lot of light colours. But it’s a stupid reason. I do sometimes get worried about a darker colour rubbing off or bleeding onto the light colour. Again, kinda paranoid and not the best reason. The last reason is that I like other ones better. But it doesn’t mean that I dislike it. I still do, but I have to prioritize all my likes. You know?

    60J

    Didn't fit

    Definitely a closer fit than the Ingrid 60HH! Still a little quadding on my bigger side, but I'm happy with this size. The bra is really pretty and simple. The cups DEFINITELY cut into my armpits, though I'll update later with comfort info -- it's looking like I'm going to order a 60K Ingrid with reduced cup height and straps moved in. The straps on this Plunge aren't as wide set as many UK brands' straps, but they are still a bit too wide for my narrow, sloped shoulders. The shape this bra gives me isn't as rounded as I like (a little Madonna-y), but it's not noticeable ... under shirts. The material is smooth. The tag scratches a little in the back, but this is a literally unavoidable issue for me for some reason. I'm going to keep this because I can't return 60 bands to Comexim but also because I like it.
    Edit: I also think I need more immediate projection than this bra gives me. Should I ask for a customization of increased depth at the wire, and if so, will that negate the need to size up with reduced cups and put me back at a 60J?
    Edit 2 with comfort info: My armpits hate me. That is all.

    • Ask for them to increase depth at the wire but keep in mind that it might not get done. I don't believe that it would merit sizing down. Moving the straps in and reducing cup height makes it fit smaller (1-2 cup sizes, I've found), so order at least a K, maybe even an L. It's a crapshoot. If they increase room at the wire and reduce cup height and move in straps, hopefully it will be about a cup size smaller and a 60K will be perfect!

    • Sonya thanks! You're like the Comexim alterations whisperer. The 60J is still giving me a bit of quadding on my larger side so I might go with the L.

    • Looks pretty good though! Pleased that you are getting closer to your best fit.

    • You're welcome. Another option for an alteration is cookie pockets. It would give you the option of using a cookie on your smaller side.

    65G

    Didn't fit

    I really wanted this bra to work, and it almost did! The band felt perfect when worn backward, so I think it was a function of the cups being too small. Swooping and scooping made everything painfully tight, so I made things “settle” before I took pictures (some of which weirdly didn’t upload?). Boobage was escaping out the sides and the top, and the wires were really cutting into me right where the front of my body transitions into the side of my body. Even with things settled, it still felt much too tight in the band, the bottom of the cup went unfilled, and my boobs were looking for every chance at escape. I think I’ve got the right band size, but am either 1 or 2 cups two small.

      Sorry it didn't fit right. Are you planning on exchanging it?

    • 1

      It’s definitely small. Sorry. I think that you’re bigger than me (?) and I need 65HH. Will you try another size?

    • 1

      Did you order from breakoutbras? If so, the good news is easy returns, but their sizes often seem different, cups smaller, than bras direct from Comexim.

    • 1

      Whoa! Yes, this is definitely too small. Are your body measurements up to date? They look very far afield from the measured depth on this bra, that's the only reason I'm wondering. If you're now a bit smaller, a 2-cup jump should do the trick--if you are still the same as those measurements suggest you may need more depth.

      Are you wearing a J-hook or crossing the straps in these photos? Some people need to do that all the time, so I wondered if that is how you normally would wear this bra? If so, for a good fit you need to not only figure out your conventional cup depth--but then you also need to determine, based on the cup's shape and proportions, whether you would then need to size up FURTHER to get a good fit with the cups tilted more centrally, as they are when a J-hook is used (sorry that sounded convoluted, haha!)

      Perhaps you know this and take it into account systematically already but since this bra was such a tight squeeze, I thought maybe you were still in the process of figuring out this brand. They tend to run small and narrow in your size range, so if you have any side boob volume at all, any time you want to wear the straps this way, you want to make sure that that side volume will have enough room. I have virtually no side tissue but even in brands that run much wider and larger in the cup, if I use the J-hook in my regular size, it can easily displace the outer wire/cup forward juuuust enough to mess up the fit--so I size up 1 cup usually.

    • 1

      Wilderness1 and veggiechic Yes, I definitely want to try other sizes. I mostly tried this size because of the 65J 3HC I got recently, which is hilariously huge on me, so I figured I was more than 2 cups off and sized way, way down. It was a Bratabase bra though, not a Breakout Bra, so I can’t return it, but I got a very good deal; it’ll eventually get listed when I don’t need it around for comparing sizes/fits/cuts within Comexim.

    • Calluna I’ll definitely try another size, probably 65HH. I tried a 65J Ingrid from Breakout Bras, and never reviewed it because I didn’t quite know how to put into words that it felt a little too small swooped and scooped, but comically huge as soon as things settled. The 65J 3HC I got recently threw me off though in terms of sizing and made me think I was thinking way too big, but maybe that’s just because it’s a different cup cut than the others I’ve tried?

    • wendybien my body measurements are from October 2018, so it’s been a while. I haven't had to change clothes sizes in any way or had any major lifestyle changes, so I haven’t thought I’d need to update it. If anything I’d assume I’d gone smaller, but I’ll check up on that when I get the time.

      And no, actually, but I am one of those people who has to have them crossed all the time, so it’s funny you mention that! My right shoulder has some issues, so it cannot bear much weight, and just about everything will immediately slip off of it unless it’s at an angle that it can’t, or tightened to hell and pushed as close to my neck as possible (which is what’s been done in this photo). This bra has no j-hook and can they multiway, but once I find a bra that fits me, I plan to alter the straps to multiway. I had no idea though that it could change what size bra I’d get.

      Years ago, a 26GG/55J from Anna Pardal by Comexim was the only bra I could get to fit me. Perfectly! But time passed, and I’ve clearly changed sizes, so I’ve largely been focusing on Comexim since they made the only bra that fit me before. I’ve tried a 65J from Breakout Bras (maybe too big? Fit weirdly to the point it was hard to review), a 65J 3HC (HUUUGE on me, even more dramatically than this bra is small), and this bra. I’m going to be trying a 65HH plunge next. I know I’ve got the band size right, so now it’s a matter of cups.

    • wendybien Sorry I failed to tag you in the above post, I tried!

      Robras ok I am a teeny bit less confident about the effect of crossing straps since I really only have 2 bras where I do that, but when I think of how they work with straps crossed vs. not crossed, and just picturing what it does in terms of repositioning the cups, I do think it will still have a similar effect to a J-hook--just more of a moderate effect because crossed straps aren't secured to one another in the middle of your back so there's a little more leeway for the boobs to "pull back" against the tension of the more-centered straps compared to the really strong central pull from a J-hook..

      But so, yes, if my reasoning is right, I would think you'd still benefit from choosing sizes based on the assumption that your strap positioning will tilt the cups in a wee bit and even bring the outer wire ends forward slightly. This does open up more space at the center which is good for fitting center fullness, but can also create more than you need causing either spillage in the theoretically "right" cup volume or gaping in a larger volume. Plus, since Comexim is notoriously narrow, this effect might cause you to get wire sitting on tissue at the sides, idk, hard to speculate. I see you have an unusual number of nonwired styles in your bra list so if you've noticed lots of bras cause discomfort in the underarm area that might be a factor to consider, together with wing height of course.

      Just generally, I've noticed--and heard other people comment--that changing size, or even going back to a size we've been before, typically changes our shape enough that the same brands that used to be perfect aren't great anymore, and the brands we couldn't wear sometimes now turn out to be an excellent option. So don't be scared to experiment--you may find new choices out there!

      I do remember that in the past couple years, at Nordstrom Rack, amazon and elsewhere I noticed a lot of paramour/felina molded cups in racerback styles. Most of them fitted freakishly large in cup and small/firm in band: I needed a 34 (34!!!) band to be able to breathe (bearing in mind my underbust is a bit under 28" these days, snug not even break-the-tape tight). So, I am not sure if they are still in circulation or if they have since rectified the weird sizing but if the same ones are still around, I think they could be worth looking at for anyone who needs this centered strap positioning.

    • 1

      Robras i believe multi-way conversion is one of the alterations you can request from Comexim directly as well.

    • cupandahalf Yes! I’ve asked about this. I want to make sure I get my size correct before I place an order though, so I’ve been delaying it.

      wendybien First off, thank you for all the info! I pretty religiously stick to multiways over the J-hook because with one shoulder so sunken, the hook ends up way off center and uncomfortably under my shoulder blade.

      I had NO IDEA about that with regard to changing sizes – I thought your shape always stayed he same, and only your size changed. Mayhaps I’ll have a bit of exploring to do!

      I have a ton of non-wired bras. 80% of which are not listed here because I haven’t gotten around to all of them! Anyhow, that’s because it’s a lot easier to find sports bras that multiway and let my shoulder move pain-free than it is to find underwire bras in the right size. I get little support, but I can cross my straps in the back.

      Bras being too tall and having wings that come too high at the sides is a chronic issue for me. Charlotte form Parfait by Affinitas fits me PERFECTLY in 28H, except its wings and wires are too high at the armpits.

      I live SUPER rurally, so trying things on in-store is rarely an option :/

    This is a really nice quality bra. Its super lightweight but sturdy enough to provide support. It's also quite beautiful with its simple design. The band is a teensy bit snug and the cups run about 2 sizes small.

    60J

    Fits

    This bra fits well but the cups are definitely taller than I need. It doesn't gape though. I could use more room at the wire too, but overall, I am happy with the fit. I love that this fits more like a 55 than a 60. It's interesting because I have this in white as well (both new), and the white fits more like a 65 and I have to clasp it on the tightest hooks. The quality of this bra is great and it's very comfy. The straps are beautifully detailed and soft against the skin. I get a great projected and rounded shape in this bra and it has a perfect amount of padding. My breasts are soft, short and narrow rooted, bottom and centre full, with a lot of projection just above the wire.

    A great shade for my pale neutral-toned skin. The cups are way too big for me though. I usually wear the 60H.

    The band is not as short and tight on me as I expected from a brand new 55 band. It’s about the same as new black 60 bands from Comexim. It is made of one layer of fabric.

    This beige basic runs a bit smaller in both band and cup than the other Comexim plunges I've tried. In my measurements it was only about a quarter inch on each.

    I ordered this with straps moved in and reduced cup height. I have a bit of gaping near the gore, which bothers me a bit because it sometimes creates a bulge in clothing. I have splayed breasts, so this gore may be too short and narrow for me. I will try ordering a higher gore next time.

    I'm a UK 32F-ish and a 70F/75E in Ewa and I think this is the right size for me. I generally have to size up in non-Polish bras because my boobs are so projected, so it was difficult figuring out my size because I don't have to do that here.

    This bra does a good job as a "t-shirt bra" except under close-fitting stretch fabric.

    While it mostly fit, I did need an extender with it. The cup seemed to be a bit shallow and I got slight quad which I hoped using the extender would help some, but I still had slight quad. I will probably try this bra again in a different size possibly 65H with reduced cups.

    65E

    Didn't fit

    Pros:
    - Soft and sturdy, like all Comexims I've tried

    Cons:
    - Tons of wrinkling, in a size that fit me flawlessly in the other three Comexims in my order
    - The cups did this weird thing where they folded over on the outside edge - never seen a bra do that before
    - Smooshed my boobs in and up, with an obvious tension line across the cup from the straps pulling the fabric too tightly across my breasts. Again, this size fit me perfectly in the other three Comexims I tried (which I ADORE and will not part with for anything)

    Thinking I might've gotten a one-off fluke on this one; did not purchase, but still love the brand and will buy from them again (though not this model in this size).
