a follow up to this post. honestly, i had very little hope that they would actually honour this given the insane mispricing, so imagine my surprise when this package showed up in the mail. i’ve never really done a brand review of anything so be patient with me, but here are my thoughts.

pricing: the deal was for 3 for $39, and with tax and shipping the total came out to $49.81. that puts it at $1.66/pair, which is still pretty unbeatable pricing. my roommate was absolutely floored when i told him how much i got them all for.

appearance: well, they’re thongs. i feel like the sides are a bit thinner than the images suggest but maybe that’s just me. i’m also not crazy about the patterns but i plan to use this as daily underwear and not date night underwear, so nobody has to see it except for me.

sizing: i usually wear a small or medium, but they were out of mediums when i got to the site so i ended up ordering 3 sets of smalls. i was worried they would be too tight or not have enough coverage, doubly so because i saw people in the comments saying they usually order a size up from SKIMS, but they fit perfectly, which leads me to

fit/comfort: honestly, great. i’ve been wearing them for the past couple days and i have no complaints. they don’t ride up, and i haven’t had to adjust them throughout the day at all. i tried on a pair under a couple of my dresses with the most unforgiving fabrics and there were no VPL to be seen. i was genuinely impressed, since in my experience finding a thong that doesn’t show under thin fabric and also isn’t trying to part your cheeks with the intensity of Moses parting the Red Sea is exceptionally rare.

quality: decent. i’d need to wear them for much longer than a couple days to determine how long they actually hold up for, but i inspected the seams of all the pairs in one of the boxes and nothing looks amiss. the temperature has been in the mid 90s (mid 30s for you celsius users) for the past few days, and i’ve spent a decent amount of that time outside, so i can confirm that the lightweight cotton is, in fact, quite breathable.

conclusion: though it was likely a mistake to begin with, this was an incredible deal. i’ll more than likely be rotating out all of my ‘daily use’ underwear for these pairs. would i buy it at full price? probably not, but as the subreddit would suggest, i’m quite frugal. i’ve had many of my current pairs of underwear for several years and i intend to make use of these new pairs for several more. would i buy underwear from SKIMS on a regular sale? most likely yes. i’m seriously considering getting a few of the nude thongs in my skin tone while the regular sale is still going on. however, if the same mistake happens to be made again, would i recommend jumping on it to others? absolutely, no question. it’s basically impossible to find underwear at $1.66/pair, let alone a decent thong.

edit: the comments have brought to my attention that SKIMS actively launched operations in Israel mid-genocide, and while i was already not a huge fan of the kardashian-jenner clan and thus hadn’t made any purchases from them previously, i find this to be particularly inexcusable and will not be purchasing anything from them in the future. i stand by everything else i’ve said here though. at the end of the day, i got this underwear at or below factory cost due to their error and i’m not gonna return it just so they can resell it for full price.

overall i give this 4/5 stars. i owe my thanks to u/Speekgeech for posting about this deal, and to the algorithm for having it be the first and only post from this sub that ended up on my reddit feed.

There's a "3 for $39" panty sale on SKIMS. The sale is supposed to be for single panties.

None of the panty multipacks are included except for this specific pack:

At $1.30 per pair, I'm thinking obvious error pricing!

If you're a fan of the SKIMS cotton thongs, I would buy this deal ASAP. They seem to be $14 each normally or 5 for $35 as a bundle. Sadly, I don't wear thongs, so I had to make sure someone else might benefit :)
