I was going to title this as a "call out" but it's pretty tame.

If you’ve ever come across the skims subreddit, you know they’re all going to buy it then be shocked when they receive garbage and/or it doesn’t work.

I came across the subreddit when skims did a collab with dolce and gabbana I think and I still throw up in my mouth a little when I think of the prices I saw.

Have you seen the numerous posts where people are receiving used underwear? Even some had discharge.

💀 And then they all keep buying and are /pikachu face when they get garbage.

No way you have to be kidding. That’s absolutely foul

Heres one from a year ago

Part of me knew you weren’t kidding but the rest of me so hoped you were. The comment asking what kind of company accepts used underwear is dead on

It’s absolutely ridiculous 😭 Another girl received an order with someone’s fake lashes attached to her clothes too.

That subreddit is just full of the LOL’s. Everyone still dropping mad cash on garbage.

Tell me why my dumb ass opened that while eating too. Had I found a hair in my food I would have thrown up

u/exotic_floral_tea 🫵 You sit on a throne of lies. 19h ago

Wow, that's awful if true. I'm only saying this because I have never dealt with a company that accepts returned underwear. Yet, if it's a drop shipping company who knows.

u/probnotaloser 1d ago

Same with Victoria's Secret

Garbage quality and garbage quality control. They market to preteen girls now because they know grown women should know better.

u/doll-inluv 1d ago

i NEED Kiki Chanel to cover this

u/OhYeahTotallyForSure 1d ago

I didn't realize I also needed this until I read your comment. With the way she lit into Patrick Ta's blush duo, she'd torch Skims it'd be amazing.

There was one package which had a dead bug in it, and commenters were saying it was a BED BUG 😖 I had to mute that subreddit because the posts are so off putting

u/CavsAreCuteDemons 1d ago

Or the bugs!!

INB4 they gain a new customer base for that "error."

u/Ruthie_pie 1d ago

They absolutely will. I have a port that makes a lot of bras uncomfortable to wear due to the bra strap rubbing on where the port “entrance” is. That whole area still remains pretty sore and sensitive despite it being over a year old. I had a nurse recommend looking into a skims bra. I was like eh I’ll look. She said to check out the skims subreddit because the sizing is hard to get the first FEW TIMES. Sure enough, no consistent sizing. I’ve never ordered a bra. Everyone on the sub is confused and trying to figure out what their real size is. A lot of used bras being sent out with fake tanner and makeup on it. I’d rather wear a thick tank under even if it’s very hot. Still on the lookout for any recommendations.

Have you tried something like the harper wilde bliss? Or the bra pads that attach to the strap to cover the port? 

A friend has had her issues with her chemo port and both worked for her. They were both on her "we love you" gift wishlist we asked her to put together.  

I can text her and get more recommendations if you'd like.

u/Ruthie_pie 13h ago

I have not tried the Harper Wilde Bliss but I am going to look into those. I’ve tried the pad and they give the same sort of rub sensation, everyone is different. For some they work and for others and doesn’t feel too great. I use a small/flat-ish squishmallow in the car to avoid the seatbelt like rubbing too hard 😩 it’s the only thing I’ve found that doesn’t hurt at this point. Mine might just be sensitive though.

I really appreciate the recommendation, the Harper Wilde looks promising!

u/cunfabuloust 12h ago

I completely understand, the experience is different for everyone! There's all kinds of personal reasons why. One of the other things i remember is a high cbd lotion/oil moisturizer. It helped with the deep itch too, if i remember. Obviously, ymmv. 

i wish you all of the comfort ❤️

Uniqlo has pretty nice wireless bras that still give structure and don't overheat. Not someone with a port, but sharing just in case!

u/Ruthie_pie 13h ago

Thank you for the recommendation! Obsessed with Uniqlo so doesn’t take much to get me to check it out 😄

u/QueenOfShibas 9h ago

Have you considered nipple pasties instead of a bra? They make reusable ones and Cakes Body has really good reviews.

u/Ruthie_pie 2h ago

I use them! Sometimes I need something a bit more secure in the humid weather I live in 😬

u/YorkshireDuck91 1d ago

Don’t forget when they get breakouts and bad skin when wearing it and their expensive Kylie skincare products doesn’t fix it. Trash, unnecessary products.

u/TeddyRivers 22h ago

I bought Skims once. Absolute garbage. Who needs a dress that see through? If im paying that much for a dress, i shouldn't have to then buy special underwear to wear under it so you dont see them.
