Hey guys!
Go away it to Kim Okay to shock and confuse the web… and begin some fascinating conversations. Final week, she introduced her latest SKIMS bra: The Final Nipple Bra. And I used to be instantly like wait, what?
I critically thought the announcement was an SNL skit or an April Idiot’s joke.
It’s a push-up bra… with fake nipples
This bra has built-in fake nipples to make it seem like you’re bra-less, but in addition such as you nonetheless have completely spherical, lifted boobs.
The advert is hilarious (the script was really written by comic Michelle Wolf), but it surely’s not a joke.
As Kim says, “Some days are laborious, however these nipples are tougher.”
After watching it about 3 instances and realizing it was actual, I had so many ideas. First, it’s nothing new for Kim to push the shock issue for the sake of selling. I LOVE watching it. However there’s one thing regarding about this that I simply can’t shake.
It performs into the physique optimistic, liberating “free the nip” motion, however are we saying that now our actual, really chilly nips aren’t adequate? Or is it that our naturally-shaped boobs aren’t fascinating sufficient when there’s no bra to assist them, so this bra will make it seem as if you’re not sporting a bra however nonetheless have perky, completely formed boobs?
The caption on one of many Skims promo posts actually says, “A fake nipple brings the wow issue whereas progressive cups totally reshape, increase, and carry your bust.”
Hmm.
Kim is aware of how one can get individuals speaking
After studying feedback and chatting with the Blogifam, emotions are fairly blended on this. First, we had questions.
“Who’s nipples did they mould to make this occur? ”
“I have already got nipples, why do I would like further?”
Some are getting the ick like I did, and a few are declaring the silver linings. Like perhaps this bra is useful for individuals who have had a mastectomy! I can get on board with that.
When chatting with the staff, the completely different views had been so fascinating! And we found that one thing so simple as including pretend nips to a bra unfolds A LOT of layers inside physique positivity and style. Listed here are some questions I’ve been pondering extra deeply about:
Are bras normally problematic? Their authentic objective was to supply assist and actual technical perform however magnificence requirements have weaved their manner in over time. There’s an “best” boob form in keeping with magnificence requirements that actually isn’t best for all boob sizes and physique varieties. Push-up bras are meant for cleavage and a few bras haven’t any objective aside from self-importance. All of that’s completely acceptable, so perhaps the fake nip is appropriate too? Or is all of it problematic?
What about shapewear? If we’re going to criticize one undergarment that “enhances” how our our bodies seem (the bra), do we have to take a look at shapewear in the identical gentle? More often than not we put on shapewear to clean and cinch sure physique elements.
But when it makes you are feeling higher it’s fantastic, proper? OR can we really feel higher as a result of our our bodies look extra like how society says they need to look?
The place I stand is… put on what makes you content and makes you are feeling good. I’m not the Final Nipple Bra’s target market, however I’m not about to guage anybody who buys and rocks it. BUT I believe it’s essential to think about WHY you need to buy and put on it.
And I’m nonetheless kinda questioning if that is only a advertising ploy by SKIMS to get individuals speaking. If that’s the case, SKIMS wins, once more.
What do you assume?!
We should focus on within the feedback! What do you consider the Final Nipple Bra?! Is it elevating main pink flags or are you into it?
