I tried Kim Kardashian’s Skims for the first time – the bras made my boobs look smaller, I wasn’t impressed
KIM Kardashian’s company Skims has expanded its range of offerings, but bras, underwear, and shapewear are still the brand’s bread and butter.
One woman was eager to try on her first order, but while the materials felt great, they didn’t do much for her silhouette.
When she posted her review on TikTok, new customer Alexandra said she was eager to try Skims and find out if it lived up to the hype.
She ordered three bras, an assortment of underwear, and a warm hoodie. It was love at first touch.
“This material is so soft,” she said, stroking the fabric the lingerie and loungewear were made from. “It’s unbelievable.”
First, she modeled the half-zip Teddy Pullover, $78. Aside from a small Skims logo on the chest, it was a plain, sandy brown color.

“I probably could’ve gone smaller, but I’m mostly wearing this for dog walking so I want a looser fit,” said Alexandra, who bought the XS.
But she’ll certainly get the chance to try her theory during her next purchase. “I think I’m going to have to order this in every single color,” she said.
Next, she tried on the Weightless Scoop Bra, $58. “It is super comfortable,” she said. “It feels like I have nothing on.”
“My only complaint is that I feel like this bra makes my boobs look smaller than they are,” Alexandra continued.

She turned to show the effect the bra had on her chest. “It kind of pushes them down a little bit,” she said, demonstrating its minimizing qualities.
“I would totally wear this at home or for a relaxing day out,” Alexandra told her viewers. “If you’re looking for cleavage, I don’t think you’re going to get it with this.”
The Ultra Fine Mesh Underwire Scoop Bra, $52, gave her chest more of a boost.
“I have to do a bit of censoring,” she said, covering the see-through bra with her hands.
Even though the bra had a lifting underwire, Alexandra didn’t have to sacrifice her comfort.
“It’s as comfortable as the first one, but this is just a bit more sexy,” she said.
Unfortunately, the last bra she ordered, the Ultra Fine Mesh Strapless, $52, fell short of her expectations.
“I honestly don’t love this,” she said sadly. She unhooked the optional straps to wear the bra with no straps.
“As soon as I take the straps off, this rolls down,” she said, showing the gripping silicone band at the top of the cups.
Sure enough, when she removed the strap, the bra slid down her chest. “That’s not the vibe,” she said.
Aside from a few problems, Alexandra was satisfied with her Skims products, including the underwear she didn’t try on for the camera.
She concluded with a parting message for the brand’s founder.
“Kim, if you’re watching this, please restock your items,” she begged.
