Kim Kardashian's Latest SKIMS Shapewear Item Has The Internet Crying Foul

The reality star just unveiled her SKIMS shapewear face wrap—and fans are calling it out for adding yet another body feature for women to feel insecure about.

When the Kardashians first became popular, body positivity was enjoying a moment, and people who leaned into body positivity were pleased to see the Kardashians' famous curves.

As the Kardashians' popularity surged and they offered product lines, including makeup and SKIMS, some people felt pressure to make themselves more attractive, whether it be a full face of makeup or using shapewear to look better in their clothes.


People could accept this duality, apparently, but Kardashian may have gone too far with SKIMS—which is now offering shapewear for the jawline, chin, and neck.

The "Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap," priced at $48, is available in shades "clay" and "cocoa."

It's described as a "must-have face wrap" that's suitable for "easy, everyday wear."

The website text read:

"Our first-ever face innovation is here. This must-have face wrap boasts our signature sculpting fabric and features collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support."
"Velcro closures at the top and nape of the neck allow for easy, everyday wear."

And apparently, both shades are already sold out and waititng to be restocked.

Kardashian was very proud of the new product and promoted it on her Instagram Stories:

"OK guys, so you know we've been doing shapewear for a really long time, and now we are gonna offer amazing face shapewear, which is just such a necessity."
"This material is actually infused with collagen yarns, and it's just this amazing jaw support."
"It just snatches your little chinny chin chin... It's super comfortable to wear at night or just around the house."

People began trolling the new release all over Twitter (X) after Kardashian announced it.





Then over on the "KUWTK" subReddit, people were done with body shaming and needing to buy more products.

"I think it's a chin strap. You wear it while you sleep so your mouth stays shut, and it forces you to breathe through your nose. Apparently, it reduces snoring and snatches your jawline and chin, but there is no scientific evidence to support it." - kr4zy_8

"I wore a medical-grade version of this when I got my chin lipo and when I got my chin implant. This almost certainly won't do anything. It's just more nonsense. They may market it as a waist trainer for your chin/jaw, but we all know it won't do anything." - hobbitstoisengard26

"Nothing new under the sun… She probably watched Ally McBeal growing up. I think about the Miracle Face Bra every time I jump rope in the gym, lol." - Senior-Lychee6079

"Why the h**l does everything about a woman need to be 'fixed'?! Holy h**l." - Elegant_Currency_31

"$50?! When I could just wrap some toilet paper around my head and call it a day? It'll do the same thing!" - thaaAntichick

"Gotta give Kim credit, she’s always at the forefront of identifying new things for women to be insecure about and profiting off them." - stankyourvrymuch


Of course, people are welcome to spend to their money on anything that makes them feel happy, confident, and beautiful.

That said, these product launches seem to send the message that not only can a person buy this, but maybe they should. But... do we really need to obsess over another body part?

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
