I usually wear a 30E UK but after trying the comexim lilly in a 65F, I decided to try the basic in a 70E. The band is comfortable and I don’t have any issues with the straps moving too far into my armpits. This bra is more shallow than my other comexims but not too badly. It is a good basic bra but the seams will show through a thin shirt.

Amazingly soft, supportive, strong without feeling binding. Gloriously simple & functional. My quest for the perfect t-shirt bra is over!
No padding, though the Basic's construction counts as that imho. The upper strip often flips in on me which ads to the unexpected padding effects. Assuming this is due to this piece being meant to cup into the bustline and slightly pull up the ladies. Not so, on my monstrous form!
Also not enough depth at wire. 2" too tall. Being the polar opposite of the customer base it was created for, these things don't surprise me at all.
Much as ... I crave 100 of them in every fabric ever, not about to ask Comexim for a half half cup as they frequently botch that in astonishing and exciting new ways.
6 month update: started to suddenly gain cup sizes around nov/early december, & all orders took a couple months to arrive so just suffered in this lovely little stoic support garment. To it's credit it's been very forgiving during this shitshow but also can confirm it's sadly not a size I'll be going back to anytime soon.
Anyone with tips on on to shrink super wide roots please speak up, looks like thats not something you can get from a reduction

Reduced cups 2cm, straps moved in 2cm, reduced gore 1cm, cookie pockets.
Compared to my 55J Adele (reduced cups 2cm, straps moved in the default amount, reduced gore 1cm): The Basic has a little less depth, almost 0.5cm. I guess the straps make a big difference (or my measuring)? Ideally, I'd want that extra depth AND the straps moved in, but this is still almost perfect. Even with less depth, I don't feel squished at all because of the shape.
The apex is still just slightly too high on my smaller side, so I do need to use a cookie (these fit pretty well https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HMW5MZ3/).

The straps are a bit too thick for me, and I wish it looked a little cuter, but the amount of support I get is great.

I've now had this specific bra in 3 different sizes and I think it's turning into my favorite. Extremely cute and comfortable. I ordered directly from Comexim this time and was surprised by how quickly it made it to me.

I normally wear this size (80M) in Comexim plunges, so I expected this to fit like the others I have (besides the fact that ever Comexim I get seems sewn somewhat differently)
This seems very similar to the Mint Pearl Flower I got in the same order.
The cradle/ band seem fine. I'm a little thrown off by how odd my breast sit in this despite it being the same size and cut I've gotten before. However this one was cut, my breast end up touching for an inch above the gore (something they get close to but dont normally do naturally or in other comexims)
Until I really tightened the ... straps I thought the cups were going to be too big. That didnt end up being the case. While the top/center 1/3 of my tissue is not contained in the center front, there does seem to be empty cup in the armhole area, and on the sides this results in an indented line where the fabric strain of the strap runs across the the upper outer cup. Weird, but not uncomfortable? Unfortunately visible through any thinner shirts.
Seams don't seem to be visible through a thin shirt, however nipple bumps are.
Quality: fabrics seem to be more basic everyday (and hopefully durable) focused more than soft/luxury. Actually feels nicer than the Pearl Mint, and the outer satin is nice.
Comfort: I think the wires are a little long for my underarms, and there's a little too much bra cup in my armpit, but it seems like it will be daily-rotation wearable, although not a favorite.
Appearance: I like that it's a beige without too much decoration so I can have something to wear under thin light colors without being seen. I wish the nipple bump was more concealed and I may have to see if I can add a cookie to hid that. I also hope the upper out cup stress lines dont show a lot, because that sort of defeats the point of a beige bra without lace/decorations. I will have to get used to how my chest sits in this, which is a different shape than my other Comexims so far (such as the Megan).

Alterations: Reduced cups, straps moved in, cookie pockets, satin trim instead of lace. I also requested 1 cm extra depth at the wire, but I'm not sure if it was done. This bra doesn't fit, because there is no added depth and/or it's about 0.5 cm less projected than my Adele.

Gives really good lift and shape. Band was pretty snug when I was a 30 band but after going down a band size due to weight loss it's now a little too loose so the cups aren't fitting as well. Will definitely be reordering this bra in a 28 band.

Love this bra. I ordered it in the same size and alterations with my Ingrid bra but they sent it with 3*3 hooks instead of 3*4 hooks. Even considering this, the band is shorter than Ingrid one. I guess this is why I feel uncomfortable in it sometimes.

I bought this bra NWOT on r/braswap. I knew the last Comexim bra was at least 2 cup sizss too small, so I sized up 3 cup sizes with this bra. I heard the Basic ran tight in the band, so I sized up in the band too. Unfortunately, I think I sized up too much in both regards. I am a 30 band in US/UK sizing, but the 70 band fit pretty well, second hook, on the Ardea. Since Basic ran tight I figured this should be fine. I can easily tighten this bra on the tightest hook and it's still not super firm. I think a ... 70 band would have been fine in this style too.
With the cups, the Ardea I got had the cups reduced and I should have taken that more into consideration when sizing up in the cups. I think 1-2 sizes up in regular cups would have been fine, though had I gotten another style with reduced cups I probably still would have needed to size up 2-3 cups. The reason I think this is because I fill the bottom of the cups PERFECTLY and the wires are excellent. Unfortunately, the apex of the cup is kind of empty. Had the cups been reduced by 1" I actually think it would have fit quite nicely. Alas, they weren't so this is simply about 1 cup size too large for me.
The gore is still slightly too narrow for me in this style, which is to be expected with me being wideset. However, it's not as noticeable since the cups aren't too small like my other Comexim.
I'm debating if I want to keep this or not. When I first tried it on, I was convinced I'd resell it, but after wearing it for 10 minutes, doing a full scoop and swoop and tightening the straps I think it might be doable for now. I tried a shirt on that normally shows seams and lace and it actually looks really smooth underneath and it looks really good. I'm torn. What do ya'll think?
