I’m plus-size – my brutally honest Skims review includes an item that made me look pregnant
SHAPEWEAR that constantly rolls or doesn't smooth the right places can be a nightmare.
A YouTuber gave an honest and critical review of four Skims items.
Plus-size YouTuber Esperanza H gave a , which included an item that made her look pregnant.
First, the YouTuber tried on the , available on Skims for $68.
"Other than not having any support [for your chest] and not being able to wear a bra, I actually really like this," Esperanza said.
"I will say Kim knows what she’s doing because you can’t see through this, so this material is thick enough but thin enough to keep you covered," she explained.
The YouTuber added: "The thong area, where it sits, it gives your butt a plumping effect. It makes it look a little bit more juicy."
Next, Esperanza showed her followers the , available for $32.
"I don’t like this. I don’t like the mid waist, it’s rolling down already. It’s a thong style but this thong style, holy smokes it is so uncomfortable right now. It’s like ‘get this off of my body,'" she said.
Analyzing the shapewear aspect of the garment, Esperanza said: "It’s just not doing me justice. It’s emphasizing my [love] handles even more that I want. I feel like I didn’t smooth out my belly that much."

The YouTuber was optimistic about the $32 .
She said: "I feel like it really flattered out the belly area, it did make it a little more round but I feel like all shapewear does that."
After trying on the shapewear, Esperanza said: "So my thing is, again it is really showing the belly. It really rounds me out and for me I’m like ‘why do I look like I’m nine months pregnant right now?’"
For her final review, the YouTuber tried on the $68 .
"I am obsessed, I love this one. Before, you could see my cellulite. Sometimes you want to wear a pair of jeans that look smooth, and it definitely does that for you," Esperanza said.
She continued: "I would feel comfortable enough to wear this with jeans, just like this and it would have a little bodysuit moment. Maybe that’s what Kim was going for."
"Out of everything, this one is the winner," the YouTuber concluded.
