I placed my first order on SKIMS: my honest review
(All the links in this post are affiliate links)
Hi everyone! I wanted to save today's monthly review post because I'm so excited! This month, I placed my first order on the SKIMS website, and I wanted to share my honest review with you. I didn't post anything on my Instagram because I wanted to give you exclusive access to my impressions.
I was on the market for good underwear for so long that I can't remember. I tried different brands and fits, but I always felt uncomfortable with my body and the fabrics. So this month, I decided to take a chance and place an order on the SKIMS website because I was so curious to try their underwear. I read so many great reviews, and the fits are incredible.
Shopping experience with SKIMS
The first thing that made me happiest was that I could easily convert my measurements into a SKIMS size!
Not sure what size to order from SKIMS?
Before placing your order, I recommend measuring yourself carefully. I created a complete step-by-step guide to help you find your bra size on SKIMS, including how I take my measurements and use the SKIMS size calculator.
Once I got my size, I went straight to the shop section. I was looking for basic underwear in black, nude, and white. I know, but I need to build my underwear edit from scratch! I was so curious to try the Fits everybody line and the Cotton Jersey line. Speaking of bralettes, I love the triangle shape. I think it's the most flattering on my chest. I love medium-coverage panties, so I went with the Cheeky brief.
The order I made on SKIMS.
After browsing the impressive SKIMS website, I filled my cart and made a mental wishlist. Next, I added one triangle bralette in onyx and one in nude (Clay tone) from the Fits Everybody line, plus a triangle bralette in bone from the Cotton Jersey line. Then I took 2 cheeky briefs in onyx and 2 in clay tone to match the bralettes, and 2 cheeky tangas in the bone shade for the third bralette. As you can see, I doubled the panties because this let me change easily during the week.
I made this order on 15 January, and it arrived on 24 January. I was so impressed by the speed because I shop from Italy, and I never thought that the order could come so quickly from the US!

First impressions
I love SKIMS underwear. The bralettes are so comfortable that I never feel I'm wearing them. This is so important because I used to feel the bra torture during the day! Even without underwires or cups, these bralettes give me all the support I need. Also, the triangle is pretty deep, so it's easy to wear even with a low-cut neckline.
The matching panties are so comfortable that I can't find the right words! I was looking for high-waisted panties, but that makes me feel sexy at the same time. SKIMS panties are so soft and stretchy that you can adjust the waist as you prefer, constantly feeling sexy!
The fabrics are perfect: soft, stretchy, easy to wash, supportive. I wear everything, and I can tell you this underwear fits everybody and works with every outfit you have. Also, the clay tone is perfect for my skin tone since I'm so pale! I love the bone tone because it is almost a warm white, and the cotton jersey is perfect with this color.
Last but not least, the packaging made me feel so excited! I felt like I was unboxing a PR package even if I paid for everything. But, this is such a plus because I felt extra special!
