Body Confidence Advocate

1. The Roll-Down Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

SKIMS: Rolled down within 2 hours. Every. Single. Time. I spent half my workday in the bathroom yanking it back up.

HEYSHAPE: Uses flexi-stay boning and adjustable straps that anchor everything in place. It physically cannot roll down. I bent over to pick up my toddler's toy. Stood back up. It didn't move.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

2. The Breathing Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

2. The Breathing Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

SKIMS: Squeezed my stomach so tight I couldn't finish dinner. Felt like I was in a corset from 1850.

HEYSHAPE: Firm compression where you need smoothing (lower belly, waist) but soft everywhere else. Four-way memory stretch holds you in without suffocating you. I wore it for 12 hours and forgot I had it on.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

3. The Lower Belly Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

SKIMS: Generic compression everywhere. Doesn't address the problem area for women over 35.

HEYSHAPE: Has a reinforced lower belly panel that's 3x stronger than the rest of the bodysuit. Finally, shapewear that targets what actually needs targeting.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

4. The Bathroom Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

SKIMS: Had to completely undress in a public stall. Awkward. Time-consuming. Embarrassing when someone's waiting.

HEYSHAPE: Functional snap-gusset. You don't shimmy out of it. You just... go. Game changer.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

5. The Visible Lines Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

SKIMS: Created weird ridges under my bodycon dress. You could literally see where the shapewear ended.

HEYSHAPE: Seamless laser-cut edges that disappear under clothes. My husband asked if I'd lost weight. I hadn't. It just looked that way.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

6. The "Clothes Fit Again" Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

SKIMS: Helped a little. But dresses still didn't hang right.

HEYSHAPE: I pulled out 4 dresses I hadn't worn in years. They all fit like they used to. Not because I lost weight — because everything was smooth and supported the way it used to be.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

7. The All-Day Comfort Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

SKIMS: Special occasions only. By hour 4, I was counting down until I could rip it off.

HEYSHAPE: I wear it daily. Under work clothes, casual outfits. The posture support helps with my back pain. I genuinely forget I'm wearing it.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

8. The "Real Body" Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

SKIMS: Designed for Instagram models with flat stomachs. Doesn't account for menopause belly, postpartum changes, or natural softening after 35.

HEYSHAPE: Engineered specifically for women over 35. The fabric adapts throughout the day and throughout your cycle. Finally, shapewear for real bodies.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

9. The Confidence Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

9. The Confidence Test: HEYSHAPE Wins

SKIMS: Still felt self-conscious. Still tugging at my clothes. Still avoiding photos.

HEYSHAPE: I stopped pulling at my clothes all day. Stopped avoiding mirrors. Stopped standing in the back for photos. I went to my high school reunion instead of making excuses.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

10. This BOGO Deal Never Happens (Don't Miss It)

SKIMS: Paid full celebrity-brand prices. No sales. No BOGO. Just hype.

HEYSHAPE: Their Buy One Get One Free happens maybe twice a year. The last one sold out in 72 hours. Better product, better price.

Winner: HEYSHAPE ✓

💬 "I wasted money on SKIMS for years. Switched to HEYSHAPE and I'm never going back. Stock up during the BOGO — you'll want multiple colors."
— Sarah K., Miami ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Bottom Line

Final Score: HEYSHAPE 10, SKIMS 0

After wearing both brands back-to-back, it's not even close.

SKIMS has the celebrity marketing. HEYSHAPE has the actual product.

No rolling. No suffocating. No visible lines. Real comfort for real bodies over 35.

I returned my SKIMS. I bought 3 more HEYSHAPE bodysuits.
