The Skims Nipple Push-Up Bra: A Review of Kim Kardashian’s Latest Innovation
If you’re a fan of “The Kardashians,” you’ve probably seen the clip of Scott Disick recognizing Kim Kardashian’s Skims nipple bra on Khloé and immediately inquiring, “Do you have the new nipple bra on?” Khloé’s response, “Of course, these are Kim’s nipples on my body,” has become a viral catchphrase. And I have to admit, I couldn’t resist adopting it myself when I recently wore the Skims Ultimate Nipple Push-Up Bra ($64) in Clay for brunch with my partner. “These are Kim Kardashian’s nipples on my body!” I exclaimed with glee as we headed out the door.
As a self-proclaimed non-bra person with a small bust (30B/32A), trying on a padded push-up bra with built-in raised nipples was a new experience for me. I chose to style it with a fitted white T-shirt, a slip skirt, and white sneakers to keep my outfit minimal and let the bra take center stage. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint.
Not only was I testing the bra for comfort and quality, but I also couldn’t help but observe the reactions of those around me. I was curious to see if anyone would notice my Kardashian nipples on full display. In this article, I’ll share my thorough review of the bra, as well as feedback from my boyfriend, who I had to consult after reading customer reviews like “My husband cannot look into my eyes when I’m wearing this bra” and “My husband asked me if I got a boob job overnight.”
About the Skims Nipple Push-Up Bra
The Skims Nipple Push-Up Bra is modeled after Kim Kardashian’s own bust, as she confirmed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
Made of 84 percent nylon and 16 percent spandex, the material feels like super-soft microfiber with a subtle sheen against the skin.
It’s available in Skims’s popular neutral colorways, including Sand, Clay, Sienna, Bronze, Jasper, Cocoa, and Onyx.
The band size range is 30-44 and the cup size range is A-F.
The lightweight foam pads, which give the bra its push-up effect, are tapered for a natural-looking lift and support.
The design also features smoothing wings on the side and hidden underwire with a soft casing.
The straps are adjustable, and there’s a hook and eye closure at the back.
The bra should be hand washed and should not be placed in the dryer or dry cleaned.
What I Like About the Skims Nipple Push-Up Bra
With over 200 reviews and a 4.7-star rating, this bra is truly one-of-a-kind. There aren’t many other models like it on the market, and it definitely lives up to its purpose. As someone who doesn’t typically wear bras, I’ve tried a few push-up bras in the past, and I can confidently say that this design lifts and rounds out the shape of my breasts with extra padding. The nipples are also easily visible under clothing, even when wearing dark tops. In terms of fit, the bra runs true to size (although the website suggests sizing up if you’re in-between band widths).
As Kardashian mentioned during her “Kimmel” segment, many breast cancer survivors have expressed their appreciation for this bra as an option for women who have undergone mastectomies and may have lost their nipples. In my opinion, any product that helps women feel more confident is a win. And if you’re looking for a perky bust, the Skims Nipple Bra definitely delivers.
Is the Skims Nipple Push-Up Bra Comfortable?
As someone who prefers to go braless, I would say that the comfort level of the Skims Nipple Bra is comparable to other push-up bras I’ve worn in the past (my go-to for years has been the Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Bombshell). However, it’s important to note that in order for the nipples to appear prominent through layers, the foam pads in each cup must be highly structured. This means that the bra may feel less cushiony and more firm. Skims also recommends going up a band size if you’re worried about any pinching or digging at the sides. While I didn’t experience any discomfort, I would describe the fit in this area as “extra
