A TikTok user has revealed how she used to hate wearing a bra and avoided it “at all costs”, before finding the perfect underwear that changed her mind.
Social media user Rafaella, from New York, shared a clip online while explaining that she had always hated wearing bras to support her 32B breasts.
However, she said she had completely changed her mind after buying several skims bras, saying: “This is like my fifth [Skims bra]I’m wearing one right now.’
The TikTok user, who has 50,000 likes on her videos on the platform, said: “No lines, no crazy gaps, no spills.”
Reality star Kim Kardashian launched the Skims in 2019, with a focus on offering shapewear in a wide range of sizes and colors.
Rafaella, from New York, has revealed how she used to hate wearing a bra and avoided it ‘at all costs’, before finding the perfect undergarment changed her mind.
Sharing the clip, Rafaella explained: “I hate wearing bras, I will avoid them at all costs.”
‘Let’s talk about bras, does anyone else hate wearing them?’ she asked herself in the caption.
However, she added that she had changed her mind when she tried a Skims bra for the first time.
In her video, Rafaella explained that she had purchased five different bras, adding, showing off her $48 wireless-fit t-shirt bra, which she said she owns in multiple colors.
The TikToker also revealed her latest Skims bras, the $58 Weightless Half Cup Bra in Clay and Onyx.
However, he said there was a discrepancy between the different bras.
“I’m a 32B and the size varies depending on the bra you buy,” said the TikTok user.
‘Now him [wireless form T-shirt demi bra] it was a 32B and the [weightless demi bra] I have a 34B’, he told viewers.
He went on to describe the different bras to his followers, with one saying, “It’s a little bit of mesh and it covers [well]. Honestly, I’ve worn them with shirts and they’re totally fine.
She concluded: ‘They are all super soft, super comfortable. I don’t know what Miss Kimberly puts into this, but she’s still doing your thing, girl.
The line originally launched under Kimono in 2019 and was criticized for cultural appropriation of the traditional Japanese garment.
She shared a clip online as she explained that she had always hated wearing bras to support her 32B breasts, before opening up about her favorite Skims bras.
The TikTok user shared the video, asking others if they also “hated” wearing them, and tagged the post “girl stuff.”
Kim told the WSJ magazine that the reaction was something he didn’t expect and that his intentions were “innocent.”
“You’d think obviously we would have given it a little more thought,” he told the outlet.
“I’m the first person to say, ‘Okay, of course, I can’t believe we haven’t thought of this. Obviously she had really innocent intentions. But let’s listen. And I really want to listen. And I really want to take it all in.
In 2021 it was revealed that Kim had a “very clear idea” of how she wanted to shape her brand.
Emma Grede, a founding partner of SKIMS and co-founder of her sister Khloe Kardashian’s clothing brand Good American, explained that the reality star knew exactly what she wanted to achieve from the start.
She said in June: ‘SKIMS was Kim’s idea, as she was making her own shapewear in the past by dyeing it with tea bags to match her skin tone. She had a very clear idea. And I guess seeing what I did with Good American made me seem like a good, attractive business partner to her — there’s a level of trust there. Kim can choose to work with whoever she wants around the world, but I really know the product.’
Emma praised both brands for their dedication to ensuring they include as much size as possible.
She added: ‘I am very proud of both SKIMS and Good American for many different reasons. But most of all, if you go out to the shop, SKIMS and Good American will be the brands with the largest size range by far.
