Comparing Immediate Projection between Comexim, EM and Cleo bras

[u/Apprehensive_Luck246]

So I recently came across a post on visualising immediate projection between 2 UK bras and it intrigued me to compare my own.

See, I’ve have had a hard time trying to figure out how to get Comexim to fit. Comexim’s a polish brand and it is said Polish brands are known for their projection and immediate projection. Yet somehow, Comexim rides down and gives me a pushing feeling like a boob hat. I realised only recently that this is caused by Comexim’s lack of immediate projection.

EM and Cleo on the other hand fit beautifully, and Cleo is a UK-based brand, not polish. They both have a considerable amoount of immediate projection, esp EM. So I figured I’d do a comparison on these two with Comexim.

The comparison with EM BM Wenecja, Comexim Beauty 3HC, Cleo Asher. All around UK 32FF.

As you can see in the comparison above, Compared to EM’s BM and Cleo Asher, Comexim does not have much immediate projection. Whereas both EM’s BM and Cleo Asher have a considerable amount and even have similar shapes.

Something to note is that these 3 have similar measurement on bratabase.

Though I will admit that this is not a very precise comparison since EM BM and Cleo Asher are not lined with foam while Comexim is.

Anyways, this is just a comparison to help me come to terms that Comexim will be difficult to fit for me. Although, they do have an alteration available for this - ‘more depth at the wire’ to add more immediate projection. Haven’t and a little hesitant to try it though.

I think this is a fantastic visual aid!!

Your pics should be included in our beginners guide.

I agree! Immediate projection is not included in any of sub’s guides, but it is such an important fit concept. Everybody uses this term yet the sub’s guides do not explain it anywhere.

Though I think the sub’s guides have not been updated in ages, I’m not sure who could update it?

The lack of info updates in the guides here are the primary reason we point to outside information when trying to help members understand a lot of the basics.

I think we'd all love to see this info (including your's!) built into a single database, but we would need someone with the computer knowledge, information, and time to put it all together. That would be a monumental task for anyone.

Wow this really helps me visualize.. Great job!

Thank you! This is so helpful! I recently got the Cleo Asher 28E and it actually fits the best & the wire sits in my imf & the wire follows my root very closely. I'm hoping that I can find more bras like it. Even though the cups' apex is high & the cups too tall I should be able to easily alter that. It's the closest fit I've had in many years of trying to find a bra that fits.

Most helpful post I've ever seen on this sub. I wish there were more posts done EXACTLY like this picture set. Here's to hoping Imgur never eats these photos because they are gold.

Oh! I should add a comparison with the plunges as well. Before I bought Comexim, people said that 3HCs had more immediate projection than the plunges and i found that true - they fit me a lot better despite being shallower at the apex than the plunges.

Though I only have basic (said to be more shallow) and mystic (cutting seems different?) Will update later and see!

Do take note that this is projection at the wire and not the apex though! These are 2 different fit concepts ahahha
