Shoppers praise bodysuit 'dupes' of Kim Kardashian's Skims

Fans of Kim Kardashian’s shapewear Skims are loving TikTok's dupes.

Skims have soared in popularity over the last few year but while the brand has been massively successful, its downside is the price tag, with just one bodysuit costing £60.

Luckily for savvy shoppers, TikTok shop is full of different brands who have ‘duped’ the popular shapewear - and there are a few that have really managed to get it right, reports BristolLive.

There are now lots of brands making these ‘dupe’ versions that shoppers can get their hands on, PloppyDolly, Hottie Diary, Curlady, Shapex, SweetSlims and many more. Prices of these dupes range between around £7 to £13 per item - so around five times cheaper than the expensive Skims version.

One of the best parts of these bodysuits, apart from the way it pulls you in, is the fact you don’t have to wear a bra with it if you don’t want to - which for some is a deal breaker. The thick, tight material is designed to support and hug all areas of the body like a second skin which TikTokers claim it does.

While most TikTokers are raving about the item, some feel that while it does suck you in, it smooths you out more than anything. Many people in the comments sections on these videos are questioning whether it actually works as well as they say it does.

One TikToker shared her honest opinion about the item saying: “It’s really comfortable and really secure which I wasn’t expecting…there’s a little gap I didn’t have before and overall you think everything is just a little bit smoother. I don’t think they’re taking off inches as people say they are but they’re definitely comfortable.”

Another said: “It does what it does, it really outlines your waist, but I don’t know if it was worth the hype, I thought it was really going to suck me in even more but it doesn’t really do much.”
