Reviews on SKIMS’s website have a higher average rating compared to reviews on Thingtesting.

Reviews mention

  • Buttery-soft fabric comfort
  • Inclusive shade range
  • Flattering sculpt bodysuits
  • Versatile lounge essentials
  • Inconsistent sizing fit
  • Thin, snag-prone materials
  • Rolling-waist shapewear
  • Seam durability issues

SKIMS delivers exceptionally soft, flattering basics and shapewear according to many reviews, but the brand is inconsistent: SKIMS wins praise for buttery “Fits Everybody” intimates, supportive sculpt bodysuits, inclusive shades/sizes, and ultra‑comfortable loungewear, while numerous reviews report unreliable sizing, rolling shapewear, thin or snag‑prone fabrics, seam failures, and poor customer support. Overall, SKIMS is good when you find the right fabric and fit, but buyers should expect trial‑and‑error and variable durability.

  • I loved the mission behind Skims, unfortunately the sizing and quality is varied, and expensive for what you get. I really wanted to love it.

  • Worth the hype ! Bras are superrr comfy and practical. The only complaint is the fact they are always sold out.

  • I ordered 2 expensive dresses and they were both COMPLETELY SEE THROUGH. Just unbelievably bad quality for the price point

  • I got the viral shaper. The clasp doesn’t stay and there’s runs in the fabric. It’s not durable but it does suck you in

  • The full coverage large briefs do not stay on my waist as they roll down, The high waist shaper large panties are too small. The briefs and shaper are the same size, but one is too large and one is too small. I ordered a pair of socks and they fit great.

    Feedback

    Sizing that is the same for similar products.

  • When you first look at anything skim you think to yourself, I’m not going to fit in that. But then you make yourself buy it and fall absolutely in love with everything and anything. Their materials are made to snug your body so well you almost feel naked. Not only do you look, and feel good, but the clothing it self is not cheaply made.

    The only con I have would be the price, it could be a little less.

  • First of all, the quality of Skims is excellent. The fabric is soft, comfortable, and durable, and it doesn't lose its shape or color even after multiple washes. The fit is also fantastic - the pieces are designed to be supportive and flattering, without feeling too tight or constricting!

  • I originally purchased the Fits Everybody Bandeau Bra and selected a size Medium based off the measurements provided. The size is not the issue, but a couple things annoyed me right off the bat. 1) In order to put on the bra (even just to try it on), you WILL get deodorant on it. I have a smear-proof, quick dry deodorant that still managed to leave a mark on the bra when I went to try it on. I guess the bra being so tight going over my shoulders and under my arm pits caused it to rub. 2) It's really hard to get this bra on the right way, because when you put it over your shoulders, the two elastic bands (top and bottom of the bra) get twisted, switch order, get really tight around bigger parts of your body. I ALWAYS have to check in the mirror to see if the bra is upside down or inside out and it's really annoying to fix. 3) Every time I wear this bandeau, at some point in the day, the top elastic band randomly slips down and my boobs pop out of the bra. It is not correlated with movement necessarily, it just rolls down. I've never made it a day without that happening. (I've borrowed a friend's size large and it still happens so its not a size issue.) THEN, I purchased the Fits Everybody Triangle Bralette and selected a medium based on the size guide they provide. I have had my boobs professional measured, so I'm sure of my bra size. Here were my problems with this order: 1) The size was wrong. The medium did not fit my 36C boobs and when I wrote them to tell them, they told me I could either purchase another size or send it back and get store credit... for THEIR SIZING GUIDE being incorrect. Super annoying. 2) The bra is SUPER comfy, but doesn't hold in my boobs as much as the ads/pictures make it seem like it will. There's almost no support whatsoever. I actually like this most of the time, but can be frustrating when I'm wearing a thin shirt and all of a sudden my nipple is out of the bra. Overall, I really like the triangle bralette for at-home wear and I would purchase it again (one size up), but I was really disappointed with the customer service and sizing guide and misrepresentation of the product. There are better bras out there.

  • Love The Product !!!! But I wish they were more with a design of some sort then just one solid color , and more wear for us 3XXL girls , Don't forget us thick , fupa , chubby girls .

  • I'm a huge Skims fan. The pieces are silky and made with quality. I have about 20 items. My one pit would be you HAVE to size up on most undergarments and shapewear by about 2 sizes (especially if you're plus size). So it ends up not actually being as size inclusive as it seems. I'm a 1X/2X but order a 3X/4X in most items. So beware!

    Feedback

    Skims makes me feel a million bucks when I find a piece that fits right and is silky smooth. Buyer beware. Sizing often runs small despite being stretchy. They do have a fab return policy. Prices are ridiculously steep so these are splurge items that you need to really want.

  • I used skims under my wedding dress for my big day. Kept me very cinched in and gave me body in all the right places. I have to give Kim credit, she put her heart and soul into this product to make sure women feel good about themselves. Only thing is after a while it does start to feel tight but I feel like that is typical of shapewear after long use.

    Feedback

    Some of my curvier family members found that the shapewear around the waist would roll down their stomachs so maybe just some product testing on longer periods of time for curvier women to avoid it rolling down would be great!

  • Waited 7 weeks for delivery to Australia to start with. At $64 I thought they must be amazing.This product provides zero control to the stomach, is akin to the top of pantyhose, actually makes you look fatter. I wore once and they continually rolled down to provide a sausage shape around the tummy. Do not waste your money on these. I have equivalent from a chain store ($10) that do a much job.

  • I loved the fabric. At the beginning looks to tiny but the amount of compression is AMAZING

  • The bras are itchy and horrible!! I don’t understand how anyone likes them?! Obviously someone who’s never ever worn a bra created them because I hate them. The underwire is SO uncomfortable and zero support. Waste of money. Gave one away and my friend was itching and hates it too.

  • I bought a cream coloured shirt and it was pretty see-through. I’m in the process of trying to return it but it isn’t easy. Looks like if I want an exchange I’ll have to pay another 20$+ for shipping it. The shirt was pretty comfy but I overall don’t think it’s worth the cost at all. It was just cheaper quality than I expected.

    Feedback

    Customer service needs work. The shirt seemed too thin, I think that’s why it was see-through.

  • Feedback

    love everything except the $6 restocking fee. it can be really hard to know your size before ordering, so this fee seems ridiculous to me

  • i am in love to say the least about skims products! i have so many items for her large collections! the clothing fits every look whether it be casual or dressed up!

    Feedback

    the items run large, so remember to size down a size

  • Bought 3 bras and 3 panties as gift for my wife. All same size. Two bras did not fit. One of the panties did not fit. Because I bought them ahead of gifting them at Xmas (stocking stuffers) I exceeded Skims 30 day return policy (and they charge a return fee). My wife did not feel they were of good quality. Would not buy again.

    Feedback

    Better quality

  • GARBAGE!! NOT true to size!!! Product and s MICH TOO SMALL! & they charge for shipping to you & then if u want a return, they charge you for shipping back to them & even give you less $ if you want refund to your form of payment. Unless you want store credit then they still keep the shipping $ from what they sent!!! DONT BUY FROM THEM! I’m usually an xl but I went up to a 2x/3x & I couldn’t even get it on. Felt like a small/medium! Absolutely ridiculous!!!

    Feedback

    Make true sizes & GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK IN FULL REFUND YOU SCAMMERS!!!

  • I was very disappointed I paid 60.00 for my shaper. It ripped in two places and it also rolled. I wanted to make another investment however, I didn't want the same experience.
