I'm a 36D, and I think the Tyr pieces have great coverage (no bulging out the top or sides). I feel the same about Sugoi one-piece tri suits, which I've also worn.

Chamois in tri suits are typically pretty minimal, though. My longest tris have been Olympic distance, so I can't speak from personal experience in a tri chamois at longer distances. I know we sell plenty to women doing those distances. I also know that pretty much none of the elite level triathletes use anything with prominent chamois. Most of the women at the elite level do the entire event in swimsuit style bottoms with the most minimalist chamois inserts. So clearly, it can be done.

Maybe some of the longer-distance tri gals here on the forums can give us some of their experiences with tri chamois at HIM & IM distances...
