Well my very long awaited Comexim bikini has arrived!
I am very pleased with it over all. Love the pattern and colours.
Custom 3hc with 1cm added depth.
Made from the usual type of swimwear fabric and only 1 hook, makes for a very stretchy band! This suits me personally. I do not need much support, and on hols I can not stand a firm bikini top. I usually wear a stringy triangle thing! after a disater last year ( pre menstrual boobs, spilling out ) I decided a bit more coverage and flexibility for swelling would be sensible😂 If you need support and lift, I highly recommend sizing down in ... the band. # Edit - After a little trial I discovered the loose band caused big gaping issues in the cups. I reordered it in a 55.
The straps are fully adjustable and the clip on the band is metal. It is fairly similar in the cups to all my custom bras, however, I do gape on my smaller side a little? Comparing directly to my bras, the cup comes up higher, and seems to have more depth at the base of the cup. I do not get the same cakes on a plate look as I do in my bras, but my boobs still look good. I suppose this would work in my favour should I be pre menstrual on hols again! Over all it is by far the nicest bikini I have owned. It will be very comfortable, yet stable. The bottoms are alright. same fabric and well made. I did find the adjustable ties too short, esp to make a nice bow and not just have a short bit of string poking out! My solution has been to pull out the yellow strings, sow onto the blue, stiching is hidden under the bit where the strings thread through pants. I now have nice long strings to tie into a pretty bow, I can also wear the strings higher know, which is much more flattering

I originally reviewed this in size 65J(30GG) http://bra.pe/X35Q/ but due to fit issues I exchanged for this 60L(28HH). I’m so glad I decided on going one band down and up a cup. It fits spot on and exactly what I was looking for in terms of fit and look. This bra is very comfortable, but it still has the squeak where the back hardware attaches to the straps. I’m hoping with some wear, that squeak will go away. For all the fabric details please see my original review, where I go into detail. I deducted a point for quality due to the squeak.
For reference:
I wear a 65J in padded plunge
I wear a 65K in 3HC padded basic
I wear a 60L in this 3HC non-padded Onyks

I love the print and colours of this bra. Having a black trim and straps, is always an added bonus for me.
The fabric is lovely quality, satin, and quite sturdy, which seems to give an added boost in the cleavage area.
It fits just like my other custom 3hcs but seems to give a little more boost. I am finding all of my custom orders are very similar and consistant in fit now, which means I am not worried about ordering anything. The only exception with this bra, is the band is a little smaller, but I am ok with an extender, and I hate a firm band!
This bra was in the sale and I am really happy with it.

This bra is gorgeous!! I received it from Anya99, and it fits perfectly. the straps are moved as an alteration. As someone with a short torso, I appreciate the straps being able to extend all the way back so that the wire sits properly on my IMF. my boobs are OUT, as in they are so lifted up and prominent in tighter clothes, it makes me look like i got some work donehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> I thought the cups were too big until I scooped and swooped. I appreciate the three row hooks and thick straps, and overall, my boobs look and feel awesome.

She's upper roomy, and bottom clingy, Clara is. One for the super projected and small of root. Perhaps also, the high set and certainly the center full!

Well the bra angels have heard our annual pleas, and Breakout put out a bunch of Comexims down on clearance. For some stupid reason I've been sticking it out with the same main 3 that mostly fit the last half year instead of size up like sane persons do. Once the call came out about a sale in my size range, I swept in on this one with the reckless stupid abandon usually reserved for impulsive children and starving dogs. ... Finally something well and truly stunning! In time for new years! Do I dare assume to be fancy? Would 2023 herald my return to human decency??? Yes, it was decided. Time to be foolhardy.

Who needs to double check how sizes run? Nay not I, and thus caution was thrown way to the side. Take my money, Breakout! Woohoo, visions of classy livid lace danced before my greedy eyes as I snagged the matching undies knowing the thin line of certain disaster my wide, short derriere was dead set on flirting with. What could possibly go wrong with a figure made entirely of contradictory parts? Which rarely if anything, ever fits?
And then suddenly as my fever began, for a piddling meager couple of days I fretted over my folly. Ugh I shouldn't have bought something sight unseen when cups virtually always run tight and tall. Gods help me what if a 60 is too loose? Luckily when Clara came to me I was ready for something, anything, lower cut than eyeball high Panaches which have sufficed and sawed into my armpits for time being.

Out of this recent batch in 60L the Clara feels deeper at the very apex while measuring the same depth as my other new comexims. It's wide but satiny straps are set about average width, sewn to the upper band 8" from the gore. Thankfully there is just enough for my tall shoulders, but just so. The plastic slider is silent but probably prone to adjusting itself too easily. Clara's high quality stretch mesh band is secure on the first hook which for 28 feels impressive, thought I worry with favortism this could wear down faster as this does a basic stretch of 27, and can stretch up to 29ish long. I can very much appreciate that the elastic and mesh are cut to the same amount of give in the band. Because a lot of reputable brands don't bother so the band both digs while riding up, further allowing the cups to tilt to all hell. Tsk tsk.

I've done a lot of hard time in too-tall underwires, where there's no dignity in the red marks left on my sternum and the nasty stabby fat bulging at the armpit (gorsenia u shits give us a decent plunge!). Honestly a very tall wire on the outside always floats up over my side fullness and fiercely aggravates something like lymph, or heaven forbid breast tissue that goes all the way to my shoulder blades. Such is the curse of having a wide flat thin ribcage. Well the wires on Clara should be just big enough to let me seep over them but the cups contain me on the sides fully, and not dig into my under arm or tail of spence either, hence the wires in this style sit firmly and gently along my IMF instead of shanking me in the side like they got beef.

Gore is just narrow enough to tolerate being 2.7" tall, there's plenty of space at my inner lower breast (for now, ominous dum da da dum drum roll). Yes I should've expected an even bigger cup in the same style that wasn't awful before on me, would tolerate my heavy side boob and not squash my lower front breast to bits. But I've been tricked before and learned not to trust anything. Welcome to my world where it usually happens no matter how round and spacious a cup is rumored to fit, anyways. Clara proving herself short deep and voluminous here may mean disaster for the taller and narrow, this could might be a cup that fits too loose starting at about half or 3/4 inch out from the wire.

I guess all that's left to fuss over is the potential for the inner cup lining to be coarser than I like. Even though it's a very fine cotton knit over thin foam, that does quite well with breathing and breaking in softer. And of course keeping this pretty lace from snagging. It's sturdy but stretchy, and as all things fine and pretty prone to catching on stray trinkets at inopportune moments.

I think I might have placed one of the earliest Black Friday orders, so I seem to be among the first to receive mine on Bratabase (?) I had/have this exact same bra in 60J and 60K. I think the Basic fits smaller/ shallower than other 3HC models, so this bra fits like a UK 28G.

My shape is projected, FOT, narrow and tall roots, super close-set, soft and self-supporting. I bought this bra because it's a wardrobe staple, and I'm having a floating gore and spillage in the 60K (which I'll list soon).

The band is nice and firm with a stretched measurement of 28", making it true to ... size as a 60 band. The cups are narrow, not very projected but not shallow either, but a little bit tall. When I first tried this bra on, I had this weird gore twisting thing that created a small gap on one side, but after tightening the straps and moving the wires in the wire channels a little, it seemed to go away. When I move my arms, there are gaps. But in general I would say it's a great fit and juuuuust small enough. I think it would fit even better when my bust gets fuller during some parts of my cycle.

Overall, the quality is great for the price!

My stats: 28H/HH according to ABTF, 26HH according to bratabase, Narrow and tall roots, projected, extremely immediately projected, FOT and 5'3. (Pictures are ood from when I was measuring at a 28G)

Look: This bikini top is a 3-part construction made of white foam, the main two sections are covered in a navy blue stretchy fabric with riching at the bottom, I think this helps make it look more like a bikini and less like a bra. The top section is covered in a teal-turquoise stretchy fabric, both fabrics have a bit of shimmer to them. The gore is partially overlapped and all hardware is silver colored. It ... has a single clasp in the back, so you can't adjust the band.

Fit: This fits like a 26GG/H, so I'd size up a band from your normal comexim size. It's narrow with a lot of immediate projection and moderate apex projection, I get lots of cleavage in this currently and it is super supportive that way, I'm not worried about a nip slip OR falling out. It's just the right level of snug to be active in, I'd almost use this as a sports bra. The straps are closer set than most comexim's, and would probably work for someone with average shoulders.

Bottoms:
I got both styles of bottoms in M, which is more like S. The high waisted one is unflattering on me because it hits just below my waist, and I lose most definition, they're also quite cheeky. The regular bottoms are very flattering on me and are a bit more full coverage at the back than the high waisted ones. Both have navy blue main fabric with teal-turquoise accents on the sides.

Overall impression:
This bikini top is adorable, insanely supportive and it gives quite an uplifted, add-2-cups shape in this size for me. The lower rise bottoms are the way to go for me, but the high rise ones could be cute on other people.

I tried this bra in 28H (60K) and really loved it but needed to go up a size so I tried this one, 28HH (60L). I should have gone up to a 28J (60M). I still have quadboob. I’m disappointed because I love this bra. It’s really comfortable! I was going to try the 28J but breakout bras didn’t have it in stock and Stephanie told me that they wouldn’t be stocking more of this bra. I’m kind of worried to size up more anyway because then I’m afraid I’ll run into issues with the wires being too tall/wide. I am considering ordering directly from Comexim and asking for added depth. Is it worth it? If I ask for added depth, would this size (60L) be enough?

Updated on May 04, 2021 Flag this

My shape is projected, full on top and centre, with tall and narrow roots, soft and self-supporting tissue, and super close-set. My usual UK size is 28FF/G depending on how open on top the bra is.

I have this same bra in 60K which has a floating gore and spillage, so I thought a cup size up would fix it. I'm wrong! This is too big on me. Although I don't have visible gaping at the top, the bra is just hanging on my body and not giving any support. The wires are too wide. Although the depth and height measurements seems right for me, it looks too tall worn.

This bra comes with cookie pockets without cookies, and somehow it feels more sturdy than my 60K (maybe because it's too big?) The straps are more stretchy than the one I have.

I think this must be a pre-2017 version where the cups fit larger than now.

I'm writing this review after owning this bra for almost ten months, and I absolutely love it. It's my favorite and best fitting bra to date. It's not altered or customized in any way, I simply ordered straight from the site as-is. The gore is lowish and narrow. Being a Comexim, the cups are on the narrow side too, though not extremely so. I measured at 5.6" (14.2cm) and I could probably even go a smidge narrower. It's also very projected, but less so at the bottom of the cups. The band has four rows of three hooks, which is good because it seemed to stretch out quickly. This could also be because of how often I wear it, but I'm already wearing it on the third tightest row of hooks. The material is comfortable and not itchy at all and the pattern is super cute and classy. I honestly love this bra and wish it would last forever!

I bought the matching set for this, and omg, I FEEL AWESOME IN IT. I just love the design, I think this colour way is unique in lingerie brands as they tend to be plan jane vanilla (black, beige, white) or über sexy, red and lacy. It’s very refreshing to see one that is neither the above. Yet again, Comexim has the cutest collections suiting the widest range of users. Side note as this is not a bra comment but I ordered the Braziliany Sukulent in a size S and it is cutting into my butt cheeks and is overall too tight. My hips and thighs aren’t that ... voluptuous either, I believe my hip circumference to be around 35” and my waist 23” ish. So yeah if you plan on getting the matching set, which I 100% recommend as it just looks…*complete* that way, I would recommend sizing up in the bottoms. The seams are less accommodating than usual from what I’ve experienced with their briefs and thongs.

Anywho, back to the bra. This is a 3HC, which is what it originally comes in, and I think I am doomed to not fit this style as it is just too closed on top for my breast shape. I am even/FOT, I would describe my breasts as 3/5 (3 fifths of my tissue is above my nipple, 2 fifths below) so in certain positions the (absolutely gorgeous!) teal ribbon at the cup edges cut into my body rather uncomfortably. The Comexim plunges fit me much better; I find them to be more accommodating towards FOT shapes compared to the 3HCs. So, verdict #1 is that if you are FOT, I would stay away from this shape as it is quite closed on top.

Verdict #2 is closely tied in with the former, with it being another shape issue I have with this bra. The 3HC is quite shallower than its plunge counterpart. The cups for me lack immediate AND overall projection at the front of the cups, and there is empty fabric on the sides of the cups as my roots are quite narrow. So in conclusion, a shape mismatch on my part.

I think that if I could travel back in time I would request a 60L cup made using a 60K wire…the band isn’t as snug as I’d like either, and I think there is some pseudo-snugness because my breasts are pushing out the bottoms of the cups. So actually I’d order a 55M with 55L (or even K, at this point) wires.

I think for now I will keep this set anyways, I can’t bear to part with it and the issues aren’t super noticeable day to day. It’s just so beautiful, and I don’t wanna wait another month for a Comexim shipment that may or may not fit me. I can live with it! (cries)

Wow I haven't reviewed anything in awhile.

My stats: 26HH/J according to the ABTF calculator, slightly FOT, tall and narrow roots, center full, close set and high set.

The look:
Audrey is so cute! The cups and band are covered in tiny white polka dots, there's a double bow on the gore with two different ribbons, a black and white polka dot one and a hot pink one. The dots are textured so they will show through extremely thin shirts but otherwise they're so tiny that for all intents and purposes, it works as a basic black bra. It has a 3×3 hook closure and doesn't have any ... decoration near the straps.


The fit:

The fit is... unexceptional. It's oddly shallow and I get buckets of cleavage in it. The gore doesn't come near tacking. The wires are also slightly too wide and the straps are too far apart. It does have a good amount of immediate projection though. The material of the band is insanelystretchy so most of the support comes from the elastic sewn onto the band, making it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, the fit is livable on me but isn't even close to perfect.

This is one of my new favorites! Transferred from Anya99 with straps moved in. Super comfy bra which at this point is my main concern. Very exciting after my first order direct from comexim was too small.

This is my very first Polish bra! So exciting. Got it in the mail today after what felt like for-ev-er (though really not long at all, thanks to a sweet seller on this site. So speedy actually! Anya99 ). Love the pattern and strappy detail that is removable.

Sadly, this bra is overall too small! Rats!

I've got quad boob going on, and while I can easily lengthen the band with an extender for a comfy fit, there is nothing to be done about too-small cups. Perhaps if the cups were reduced in height (?maybe? who knows) it wouldn't be such a problem, but for this style, I'll have to size up. Such a shame!

I love love love the paisley pattern, the colors are rich and beautiful without being stodgy, and the feel of the materials is lovely against my skin. Will be either gifting to a friend, or posting it soon to the listings! So wish it fit. Sniff sniff.

Thanks to Anya99 for this bra. Altered with straps moved in, reduced cups, reduced gore, slightly overlapped wires, cookie pockets added. I usually go for a 65K/L in Comexim but the measurements looked good for me and I wanted to try out more alterations before ordering from Comexim directly. The band is pretty stretchy so I wore it a couple times with an extender before it comfortably fit without. The alterations changed the cup volume a bit. It fits smaller in the cup than my 65K Snake Plunge which I wear with a cookie on the smaller side. I like the colors and print and ... it is very comfortable. I've tried several Comexim styles now and there is added comfort in moving the straps in, but my soft tissue escapes the sides more often than when the straps are wider. This doesn't affect the fit much, but it does give the appearance of major underarm bulge if I wear it with a tank top. I need a reduced gore for my symmastia and it fits nicely at the gore.

Custom 3hc with overlapped gore and 1cm extra depth at base of cup.
Love this red sparkly bra! fits like a glove.
I am projected, centre full and full on top. This gives me an amazing shape, nice low cut and no spillage or double boob.
It is a lovely soft foam and the shade of red is great, nice dark red and the sparkly apples are so cute. I feel very christmassy when its on.

I really like this half cup. The bra is covered in a mesh overlay with velvety flowers/leaves, giving it a very luxurious look and feel. Having the straps moved in greatly improves the fit for me and makes my armpits much more comfortable. The cookie pockets are also a big plus, as adding a cookie on my smaller side helps to balance my asymmetry a bit. It also has a snug band (yay!!) and 4 rows of 3 hooks (or is it 3 rows of 4 hooks??) for extra security and more size adjustment. It has very comfy, widish straps that are easily adjusted and the cup ... height is great- not too tall for my short breasts. While the cup size is pretty good, the cups are overall wide and shallow. I would like more depth at the wire especially, but this bra has a bit more room there than my Gilda half cup in the same size, and slides down a bit less. That said, no bras actually fit in my IMF, with my Ewa CH Cherry coming the closest. I can wear this bra for a full day and only get a mild discomfort around my rib cage. So all in all, it's comfortable and I feel very well supported in it.

This bra has no customizations, so the straps are in my armpits a bit and the cups are tallish, even though it's a half cup. And because it's a half cup, the top is pretty open so I get some gaping on my smaller side. Just a little, though, so no biggie. While most of my 60 band Comexims stretch to 26 or 26.5", this one is close to 30", so it's loose on me even on the tightest hooks. I may have to take it in a little. I like the look of this bra and it's actually pretty comfy overall.

Updated on Jun 15, 2019 Flag this

I ordered this to be a longline instead of a regular plunge, and added the little C charm (My first initial is a C lol!) but other than that there are no other alterations. I ordered a 60L, but I do think that I might need a 55M/L with narrower wires for more projection next time. I believe this to be a sign that I have graduated from 60 to 55 comexim bands (this checks out as I now need a 60 in Ewa Michalak bras, and her bands run very tight). My snug underbust is just under 26”, and my loose underbust is 27”. This band is ... VERY stretchy! I already need to have it on the tightest hooks to provide adequate support, and even then the gore does not tack properly.

This 3HC is wayyy too shallow for my shape; the wires extend much too far past my roots, and there is slight quadding and discomfort in the centre of the cups due to it lacking projection. I also cannot get the wires into my IMF as this bra lacks the immediate projection required to do so. Therefore, my breasts push out the underwire and cradle at the bottom, the gore doesn’t tack, and the band has a tendency to ride up. I need to tighten the straps to God Himself to get proper support which is the #1 sign the band is not snug enough. Overall, I think even if the band and cup fit I would not get the best support due to the weaker wires. It’s sad because I absolutely am in love with this print, the floral embroidery is everything I need in life & I like the “held in” feeling I get from a properly fitting longline bra. Overall, I think if I could go back in time I would request MUCH stronger wires, a 55 band, and the wires for a 55K bra plus the cups for a 55M/L.
