I had a hunch a softcup G might be small so I ordered G and GG for comparison. The reason? I have a Shock Absorber Max Sports bra in a 30GG which fit completely perfectly by surprise, a full cup or two larger than I ever would have imagined. It just goes to show it's not about the "size" on the tag but how the actual garment fits your body.

The quality feels quite nice. Very soft lining, beautiful yet simple design. I especially like the low balconette-style slight v-neck as opposed to some other soft support bras out there that ... look very granny!! There are 6 adjustments rows of hooks instead of an underwire's usual 3. This means you can adjust the bra either over time or as weight fluctuates. I suppose its marketed for 'maternity' according to the Superbra website but I know many women seek wireless comfort bras to their much more common wired sisters.
Overall, extremely supportive and looks fantabulous! It could be a manufacturer's defect in the smaller version because strange enough merely going 1-cup larger (band size the same) this band is noticeably tighter and therefore more supportive. Check the measurements of both bras.
**Update: I wear this bra not for everyday but in 2 situations: 1. For several hours each night lounging or 2. On long days working at home. The straps start digging in after a while. Maybe it's not the perfect softcup but for now it does its job mostly well.
Measured unstretched before wearing.
Purchased late-February '11 from figleaves.

Interesting how come even though both bras are 30 band, one fits fits and not the other!
And also how a smaller cup size ends up in a slightly larger bust perimeter than the GG!
