I recently had the opportunity to try out the Skims Ultimate Nipple Push-Up Bra in both the Clay and Onyx colors. As someone who typically prefers to go braless due to having a small bust, I was curious to see how this unique bra would look and feel.
The bra, which is modeled after Kim Kardashian’s own bust, is made of 84 percent nylon and 16 percent spandex, giving it a super-soft microfiber feel against the skin. It comes in a range of neutral colorways and has a band size range of 30-44 and a cup size range of A-F. The design features lightweight foam pads for a natural-looking lift, adjustable straps, and a hook and eye closure at the back.
When I first tried on the bra, I was impressed by how well it lifted and shaped my bust. The padded cups added extra volume and the nipples were clearly visible under clothing, even with dark tops. The bra also ran true to size, though the website recommends sizing up if you’re in-between band widths.
One aspect of the bra that I found particularly interesting was Kim Kardashian’s mention of how breast cancer survivors have appreciated the bra as an option for those who have undergone mastectomies. This speaks to the inclusivity and confidence-boosting qualities of the product, which I believe is a major win.
In terms of comfort, I found the bra to be comparable to other push-up bras I’ve worn in the past. The foam pads provide a structured feel, which may not be as forgiving as a softer cushion, but it ensures that the nipples are prominently displayed. The fit was snug, but not uncomfortably so, and I didn’t experience any digging or pinching.
As for the natural look of the bra, opinions may vary. While I personally didn’t feel that my bust looked entirely natural, I did notice that from a distance, the bra created a realistic illusion. My boyfriend, however, had some critiques about the placement and shape of the nipples, suggesting that they could be improved for a more authentic look.
If you’re considering purchasing the Skims Nipple Push-Up Bra, it’s important to keep in mind the brand’s return policy. While they offer 30-day free returns for store credit, there is a $6 return shipping fee for refunds back to the original payment method. I recommend trying on the bra in person if possible to ensure the best fit and avoid any return fees.
Overall, I found the Skims Nipple Push-Up Bra to be a unique and effective product that delivers on its promises. Whether you’re looking for a subtle lift or a confidence boost, this bra is worth considering for its innovative design and inclusive approach to women’s lingerie.
