I tried the Skims bodysuit and learned a pricey lesson – it still showed my ‘mom pooch’ and was too small up top
WHEN a new mom finally tried the well-reviewed Skims slimming shapewear, she was in disbelief for all the wrong reasons.
Her first purchase from Kim Kardashian’s brand was such a disappointment, she wondered if she’d been scammed.

Makeup artist Alexandra Guzman is a new mom, and when her Skims bodysuit arrived, she was only months postpartum.
“I have a three-month-old baby,” Guzman explained in a video review, “so I’ve been into shapewear lately.”
Holding up the package, Guzman confessed that she’d been tracking the shapewear since the day she ordered it.
“You guys have no idea how excited I’ve been to get this in the mail,” she said.
Guzman bought the Sculpting Bodysuit, $62, in a size L/XL, based on her usual size in bottoms (10/large).
“Supposedly, this thing is supposed to be tiny as h**l,” Guzman said, fishing it out of the package.
Still, she was surprised when she saw how small the one-piece was. “Oh my gosh!” she said with a laugh. “What the heck?”
Then, it was time for the moment of truth.
“Let’s see what the fuss is about,” said a hopeful Guzman before cutting away to try on the outfit.
Within minutes, she was back on camera and visibly upset.
“I’m super disappointed in this, because of the price,” the frustrated mom said. She wore a tank top over the bodysuit.
Standing in front of the mirror, she showed her body, gesturing at her midsection and her underarms.

Guzman said, “I literally feel like I look the same but I’ve got the fat coming out at the arms.”
“I feel like my clothes look the same,” Guzman continued, holding her stomach. “You can see my mom pooch.”
“And look at this,” she said, pointing back at the places where the shapewear’s straps pinched the skin under her arms. “Why does it do that?”
Despite having “no butt or boobs,” Guzman said, the bodysuit was too tight in all the wrong places.
“I feel like I need it bigger up here,” she said, touching her chest. But at the same time, she wished the stomach was more snug.
Standing in just the bodysuit and jeans, Guzman called the Skims founder into question.
“I also saw Kim Kardashian said she wears these as shirts,” Guzman said. “B***h, I would not.”
For the price, Guzman expected a more dramatic shaping effect, especially when compared to her favorite brand.
Wearing a pair of Leonisa’s Firm Tummy Control Shorts, $85, Guzman showed off her flattened stomach.

“Now this is shapewear. It doesn’t give me any of the rolls,” she said, stroking her smooth abdomen.
“If I’m recommending something, I’m going to recommend this one over Skims,” Guzman declared.
Still, the experience was a letdown for Guzman. “I thought I was going to love Skims like everybody else,” she said sadly.
In the video description, Guzman asked Skims fans to explain why they liked the brand that had done nothing but disappoint her.
“Why did I see nothing but good reviews at all,” Guzman wrote, openly wondering if the positive reviews were “scams.”
“Did you get paid for that?” she questioned openly.
