I’ll be honest—I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Skims thong. I’d heard the hype, but something about the idea of shelling out €23 for underwear that’s basically a string felt… excessive? Still, I was curious. And hey, if it turned out to be one of those things that actually lived up to the buzz, even better.

The first thing I noticed was the fabric. It’s soft but not flimsy, with this weirdly luxurious feel that doesn’t scream ‘I’m wearing almost nothing.’ The fit? Snug in all the right places, but not so tight that I spent the day adjusting myself every five minutes. Honestly, it surprised me how quickly I forgot I was even wearing it.

I went with a size small, and it felt true to size—no weird cutting or riding up like some thongs I’ve tried. The beige shade is subtle, not overly bright or orangey like some ‘nude’ tones tend to be. It matched my skin tone pretty well, which was exactly what I wanted.

Now, would I wear this every day? Probably not. It’s definitely more of a ‘feeling put-together’ kind of underwear than a lazy Sunday morning staple. But for days when I want something seamless under a slip dress or just want to feel a little more confident in my outfit? Absolutely.

Oh, and random thought—I was checking my phone while getting ready the other day and saw someone had texted about Tesla stock price. Totally unrelated, but I remember thinking, ‘At least *this* purchase won’t crash overnight.’

If you’re on the fence, and you like the idea of underwear that feels like a gentle hug (from your butt, technically), give it a shot. It’s not life-changing, but it’s definitely a small win in the daily-dressing department.
