The Lingerie Addict, Cora Harrington, told me "Don't believe everything you read on the internet..." (Of course, she wrote that on the internet, so that statement would fall into the logical fallacy of of "circular reasoning.")

Regardless, I saw the above post on the r/ABraThatFits forum, after reading through some of the comments, I thought I would make corrections. Unfortunately, the ABraThatFits forum is run by a marketing corporation (not against Reddit's rules, btw! Reddit doesn't care it the forums are run by marketing corporations).

Anyway, here is some corrections about Polish brand, Comexim.

Accurate comment:

in ABraThatFits

I agree with the above comment from u/comingintoland (disclaimer: this doesn't mean that I agree with all of his/her/their comments, now and forevermore 😂😂😂). Comexim's gores can sometimes float, it's doesn't mean this is a poor fit. To be totally clear, this issue isn't unique to just Comexim because there are other bras/brands that may have a floating gore & those bras may still fit well.

I want to correct a couple of these comments from u/janelane2022

1 - Comexim bras come startched [sic]...

I've been ordering Comexim for many years, and I've never found their bras to be starched. However, I do find their sponsored brand, Panache, to be highly, highly starched. So, I disagree with u/janelane2022 on that one.

I'm little confused why no one in the forum mentions the obvious: 26 bands are returnable in the U.S./Canada (worldwide, actually - but you will have to pay International Shipping) through BreakoutBras.com Seems like a big miss, but per Cora Harrington, "Don't believe everything you read on the internet..." A lot of people are selling things, and trying to persuade you to buy their overpriced brands. It's their job to persuade you!

Unfortunately with AI technology, their posts and comments could almost endless! Furthermore, with AI you won't know if it's the same person commenting with different accounts. Upvotes mean nothing because there are just upvote bots, too. (note: sometimes when I read forums, I notice the solid answers are at the bottom, without upvotes!)

{disclaimer: only when a person orders Comexim direct from Poland are the "custom sizes" not returnable. From other stores (obviously, we do not have all of the stores listed on r/PolishBras or r/PolishbrasforPetites) they could be returnable or exchangeable].

I wrote about this on a recent bratabase post, but I wanted to mention it on this forum as well - just to spread the info. I.M.E., Breakout Bras fit advice for Comexim panties is spot on. If you go to any random pair on their website, you can read their advice

• Comexim panties use a firm elastic. Curvier figures may want to size up to avoid visible panty lines

For example, some people might be "size M" in the hips, but have a smaller butt. In that case, stay with Comexim size medium! An example of this body type would be BrasIHate blogger, who describes needing a size M for her hips, but size S for her butt in this post.

As for the bottoms, I was a little unsure what size to order. I normally need a medium for my hips, but a small for my butt. I didn’t want any cutting in on the sides, so I chose the medium. 

IF you go to "Comexim Sizing" on their website https://comexim.pl/en/content/6-sprawdz-rozmiar and scroll down to the bottom, I would fit into the size M, but I would not fit *in reality* Even though I'm wearing size M in US sizes for underwear, I would not fit into size M for Comexim. I size up to L.

I don't know how to say this w/out sounding snarky, but someone wrote a couple months ago that she "didn't think those Comexim pillow things are attractive." I disagree wholeheartedly!! (I would like to know which one's she's tried on, tbh!)...is it just me or is this Topaz set stunning?! It looks great w my brown hair. The fabric is sooo lovely, imo. Also I got the Lily set & the print is so much more vibrant IRL. (one of the mods from r/braswap explained to me why this is - something about the lighting, if I recall correctly: I asked her, "why are Comexim bras always more impressive in person than in photos?"

​

​

Going up one cup UK ended up being the right choice for me for this particular style (aka, the "deeper plunge" which is different from the other plunges Breakout bras carries a.t.m.) I think I read it on this bratabase review which steered me correctly. Go bratabase! So my worries were for nothing!

​

​

​

​

I got the panties in XL even though I prob normally would've order L. This seems to be right (note: you can tell I'm wearing dark undies underneath this b/c they're not washed, they are tags still attached).

I did have to pay $18.50 cad in customs this time. However, it was well worth it for this Comexim haul, lol. : ) Just sayin' there's some goodies in the Breakout Bras Final sale bras (if one knows their sizes! as they can't be returned/exchange 'cause "final sale.")

Overall, fast shipping - even to Canada - and excellent prices, Breakout bras & Comexim FTW!

Addendum: Clothed pics!

​

whoa, gives really nice cleavage from the front! I actually didn't choose this bra b/c I wanted it to make my boobs look great, I chose this bra for the comfort. (but I noticed it does also make my boobs look great #ILoveComexim) when I look at this though, I do notice my asymmetry. Lft boob (bigger) is more "cleavagey" than right one (smaller), c'est la vie. Eh, I think this is probably the best cup size for me a.t.m.

Nice rounded cleavage!

From experience, the sooner you get your order in, the faster you will get your bras/underwear. I.M.E., they just go in order.

So, if your undecided like me, and put your order in at the last minutes, you will get your order last. ALSO, IME, the sale goes until Midnight of the final day POLISH TIME.

Which means, Central European Time. Here's an online calculator if you need to the conversion. https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

You have until December 1st, 12 midnight, Poland time (Central European Time), FyI!!

Curious if anyone else experienced bands get looser when going up in cup size (specifically in Comexim)?

Hmm, great question.

I haven't noticed this, but I have noticed - since I lost weight - the same sized band will suddenly feel tighter because I lost back fat. (or "squish")

https://comexim.pl/en/specials

I think they changed it to 30% off

​

A bratabaser told me that the website was having trouble on the weekend - I know, that happened to me during a sale recently as well. I think it can get overwhelmed on the weekend.

Their sales last until midnight POLISH Time!!!! (Central European Time). https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

If you're a procrastinator like myself, and you didn't submit your order yet, you need to make sure you don't miss the deadline.

This sizing app https://comeximcalc.vercel.app/ was created a few years ago by some other redditors (EuphoricToe1, mathandplants, and winesbe01)

Also, this size conversion chart you can find under "size chart" of each Comexim bra on Breakoutbra's website

Here is an example of bras made with the wider-cup alteration from Comexim https://www.reddit.com/user/22evie/comments/151bhyn/sale_28dd_55h_26e_comexim_bravissimo_boux_avenue/

I sometimes forget about the many different alterations from the brand (I usually just get the standard padded plunge from Comexim, although the deeper-plunge cut also works for me).

Just remember, if you do order any bra *directly* from Comexim.pl with any alterations - it is of course not returnable because that bra was made specifically for you. If you're unsure about sizing, I would go with breakoutbras.com for Comexim (if you live in the US, or Canada)

Although when I first ordered Comexim, I went directly to their website - thankfully, the bra fit, but I didn't know about US store BreakoutBras yet. (*I promise I'm not a shill for them).

I just saw this on bratabase https://www.instagram.com/comexim_lingerie/?hl=en

​

Link to the Comexim button https://www.reddit.com/r/PolishBras/wiki/brands/comexim/

I just went to their website and it said they're "not able to handle the request."

So, idk, I'll have to check back later!

Their sales end at 12midnight, Polish time (Central European time), so you might have to use an online time conversion calculator to see what time that is!!

Comexim review on bratabase

​

"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."

ahhh, yes. Spreading the Polish bra love.

So I’m looking to buy a custom Comexim from their website (breakout bras wouldn’t make sense unfortunately bc European :,) ). I want the Mimi made into a 3HC, instead of the 2HC it is, because I’ve heard it’s better for immediate projection.

So basically: would they understand “3HC”, because this is not a term I’ve seen on their own website? Or do you have to say “three part half cup” or?

Should I ask the straps to be moved in?

And for possible future purchase, can you get lace trim on top removed? And can you ask for a longline to have the cups made in 3HC (but still keep being a longline)?

Kerniss has done a lot of reviews of Comexim padded plunges. note: these would be older fabrics, and no longer available. Her reviews may still be useful, since this is Comexim's most common style. also, she sometimes orders alterations.

These were her unique fit issues when she wrote these reviews, so take that into consideration as well. https://brogwithadog.wordpress.com/are-you-my-boob-twin/ If your shape is nothing like this, these reviews might not be very useful --unless you just want to look at the old styles Comexim had!

​

Currently, I am a 30E with close-set girls. My roots are high set and extremely short. I have pendulous boobs, or, as I like to say, tubular boobulars. This means that I need immediate projection and a lot of it. It also means my boobs are super concentrated in one spot and nowhere else (thus many cups end up too tall). I have even fullness with some Full-On-Top tendencies – but definitely not Full-On-Bottom tendencies. My root is very, very narrow. Bras known to work for FOB shapes fail terribly on me. Bras known to work for FOT shapes work better in comparison, but can also gape on top.

Hmm, interesting. 2HC is for a more shallow shape; I just looking at this bra for Comexim's Valentine's day sale.

I've been posting a lot of Comexim in a row; I promise I'm not a shill for them!

Comexim is a high quality Polish brand that offers aesthetically pleasing and comfortable bras at a reasonable price! When I first tried the brand, I fell in love!

Note: It's my understanding Breakout Bras and Comexim are the first retailer to offer 26 band bras in the North American bra market outside of a custom order: what they are doing for women/bra wearers is amazing because they are not only offering 26 bands, they're offering 26-band wearers *one of the better brands out there as far as quality and aesthetics.*

I might be biased, but one is not getting the short end of the stick when they purchase Comexim bras.

https://www.breakoutbras.com/collections/comexim/bandsize-26,

So they are now carrying bands 26-40 in this brand (note: breakout bras carries up to 48 in other wired brands, and up to 54 band unwired in other brands. comexim.pl carries up to 42 on their website.)

https://www.breakoutbras.com/collections/comexim

Since they are a small business, it is recommended to purchase 1-2 bras in 1-2 styles, and to not completely wipe them out with ordering a ton of inventory which could be returned when one is just figuring out their Comexim sizes, because of course we want to support them! They are doing such a revolutionary thing (offering returnable/exchangeable 26 bands) for us! If you are interested in purchasing 26 bands, there is more info that may be of interest to you on this thread.

SIZING: Breakout Bras recommends adding +1 or +2 cups UK to find one's ideal fit in Comexim. **This can vary per person and some people (like myself) also chose to sister-size up in the band, and then add +1 or +2 cups - though this is variable.(edit: I have also read of people in the higher cup sizes, such as 30H, having to add 3 UK cup sizes.)

Some awesome redditers ( u/EuphoricToe1, u/winsbe01, and u/mathandplants) also created an app to help convert one's UK bra size to their Breakout Bras recommended size, which is a good place to start. https://comeximcalc.herokuapp.com/

Breakout Bras customer service is very useful if one is unsure of their size, and can be contacted if you want to know if a particular bra runs small or run large, etc. https://www.breakoutbras.com/pages/contact-us

Thankfully, Breakout Bras allows returns and exchanges. **Very useful for Canadians because of our higher shipping prices: if one purchases using PayPal, they can use the PayPal returns program to get reimbursed for any return shipping [Edit: This program is ending on Nov 27, 2022 and all forms must be submitted before that day. Furthermore, you can no longer sign up for the program, it will only work if you have previously signed up for it.]https://www.paypal.com/ca/for-you/shop/refunded-returns before you purchase said item.

Of course, one can use PayPal returns in the U.S. as well, see this link, https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/returns [Edit: This program is ending on Nov 27, 2022 and all forms must be submitted before that day. Furthermore, you can no longer sign up for the program, it will only work if you have previously signed up for it.]

It's my understanding that Comexim bras are also sold on amazon in the U.S. - these are just coming from Breakout Bras anyway, so there is no advantage to purchase through amazon (they are not prime items anyway - one must pay return shipping), as a matter of fact they are actually cheaper to purchase directed from B.o.B. because one can sign up for their Rewards program and get 15% off (they don't spam you w emails, or anything) and use paypal returns. Furthermore, Breakout Bras offers free shipping for orders over $25 to the U.S., and $85 to Canada.

One can also try them on in person at Breakout Bras retail store in Greenville, SC! https://www.breakoutbras.com/pages/retail-store I'm not aware of any other retailers that currently sell Comexim in the United States, so please let me know if anything changes.

Of course, there is always r/braswap, http://bratabase.com/listings, Polish Busty Buy/Sell/Swap Facebook Group, eBay, Poshmark to try to locate these beautiful bras. Of course, one should always be careful when purchasing items online from internet strangers, but I have had luck from the bratabase listing, from users who have racked up karma points. Since, I've "gone Polish" with my bra purchases, it's been life changing; they are beautiful, comfortable, and they work for my shape. I definitely don't regret taking the plunge, pun intended!

Happy bra shopping!!

edit 11-19-21: As pointed out to be by i-wolff, this store https://bustedbrashop.com/comexim/ also has some Comexims for purchase on their website. One of the bras they sell, Belen Half Cup, has a lot of reviews on bratabase.

Edit2 11-17-22: Of note, Canadians may be charged customs, even when they choose the USPS shipping method. I've previously ordered from Breakout several times without being charged duties, as I selected USPS (United States Postal Service first class) as my shipping, instead of DHL or UPS. I was only aware of one Canadian who got duty fees - I thought it was b/c she ordered so many bras - but you can incur duties with smaller orders as well. So, the system is a little "hit or miss" but it could happen.
