I can wear anywhere from an E UK size to a G UK size, depending on the brand and how the bra is made. I have extremely soft breast tissue that can be manipulated into whatever shape a bra is no matter the wire size. If I press on my breasts, my imf line will expand. If I lean over or pull on my breasts, my imf shrinks.
I thought I'd start with bratabase measurements but it seems that I got sizing crisscrossed in my head somewhere so I ended up with cups big enough that I could stuff both of my breasts into one cup. (My breasts are also wide set, naturally. They're also low set but very projected and when picked up on the bottom they create a "L" shape so I'm more "full on bottom" even though I'm actually "full on top" (bending over my nipples point towards my stomach) because they're low set & projected.
I'm also have a good bit of tissue migration under my arm, and need to address this.
It's from wearing ill fitting bras, so instead of wearing bras with narrow wires I've been accommodating this tissue by covering it up with a bra in my 34f-G cups when in reality I should be a 32f-g (for most sizing).
I thought comexim was a good starting place to address this issue by wearing a bra that doesn't have a super stretchy band in a 34 (whatever letter cup fits me. I ordered the F to try next because HH was way too big when it *shouldn't* have been due to bratabase measurements/a crisscross in my head somewhere along getting bra measurements)
After getting my autistic sensory disorder more accustomed to a "tighter" bra I'll be ordering comexim in one band size up (which is actually down? Instead of a 34 I'll get the 32) and then a cup size up. So if the 34F fits, I'll order the 32FF once I've broken in 2 comexim bras in the 34F. *HOPEFULLY* I can get the tissue migrated out from under my arm with this method and brand because all bras look terrible on me right now because the underarm fat that's actually breast tissue from ill fitting bras.
TIPS -
Want to know if your bra is the correct size band?
Put your bra on backwards with the cup apex pointing towards the floor.
Make sure your band is as high as it will go in the front (where your underwire would be touching your imf line) while being level in the back.
Once you have your bra on like this, stretch it out. If it stretches a lot (2 inches is ok. More than this, try a bra a band size smaller/cup size larger and see how that feels for you) either your bra needs replacing or it's most definitely the wrong size (there's a good chance your cups are also the wrong size too)
So email savanna and tell her your "a bra that fits calculator" measurements and the issues/concerns you're having with your bra and she'll go out of her way to help you. Every woman/person with breasts deserves a well fitting bra so don't hesitate to start your "ABTF" journey.
Comexim (and most polish brands) is for those with narrow roots. If your roots are under your arm, I suggest emailing customer service to get their opinion on whether or not polish bras will work for you.
Back to comexim sky blue -
With sensory sensitivity I try to stick to extremely soft stretchy bras/brands. Wacoal, Spanx, and Chantelle are my favorites because of this. However, putting on the comexim sky blue I initially thought "Jesus Christ, I knew I should have gotten the 36 band because there's no way this will close. Oh wait a minute. There we go. Why am I standing straight with no effort on my part I feel like I'm in a back brace without the discomfort of a back brace"
Like I would have had to put in effort to slouch in the 34 band. It was no effort to stand straight though. This is something I've never experienced before and having scoliosis, I GREATLY appreciated it for the 20 seconds I had this bra on.
I've never in my life felt so supported by a bra band before this without feeling like the bra was cutting me into. (Yeah you know that feeling) This brand, the band is just there. Like it's molded specifically for your skin and could never harm you.
Material - very light and airy. Not extremely soft but as soft as soft gets without being stretchy. The band is thick and firm but also stretchy and airy. The cups are not stretchy but they're soft and very squishable.
Lace- after wearing Chantelle Norah I really thought I would never be able to appreciate lace that isn't baby soft again but I was wrong.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about comexim, which is really really uncommon for me with my sensory sensitivity.
I *thought* I was stuck on Chantelle brand (don't get me wrong, they're good bras and extremely soft especially the Norah and C Jolie but they're def lounging on the couch & comfort bras) but now I find myself laying in bed at 3am craving the support I found in the comexim band.
Shipping - unbeatable. Ordered Thursday night and had package on Monday (would have been sat if USPS didn't insist on driving past my local USPS to a location over an hour ...
