Bra fitting help » Too tall cup, bottom of band and wires dig in
Comexim » Basic Plunge Bra (170) » 75K 34:11
The bottom of the band digs into the sides of my ribs a bit and the bottom of wires press in. The cup isn't filled near the straps. I'm wondering if a different size will work or not.

helpfulI am not a Comexim expert, but for those who are, it might help them if you changed your settings to allow them to see your measurements, as well as the bra's measurements. Neither are displayed on this fitting help post. I do know Comexim can customize a ton of things so perhaps someone can advise you on the possibilities!

It looks like this is a combo of the band being too tight and shape incompatibility. I've seen Comexim bras fit similarly on those with a short root (look at how the bras fit on the model on Wellfitting.com for a very good example of this.). I'm not sure of the solution, but trying reduced cup height would be a great start. Luckily for us all, Comexim provides such customizations without any additional charge.
As for the band, if you measure at 36", you should start at an 80 band in Comexim, and may even need to go up from there. Their bands run increasingly tight, so it's not uncommon to size up in the band. Having a looser band should alleviate the pressure from the wires, and make them less painful. Comexim has fairly soft wires, so they really shouldn't (though everyone is different) cause any pain whatsoever. For sizing reference, I fluctuate between a 32H and 34GG, and find that 75J is my best fit in Comexim. However, in some of their tighter banded models (Geisha, Carmen, etc), even an 80 band can feel too tight.

helpfulI am amazed with how much slightly bending my wires has helped with the digging in. good luck to you <3

Thanks, ginganinja. A sister size up and reduced cup height was my first thought. Hopefully that will be enough. I'll be sure to check the tightness of models I try in the future.
