Marie Claire editors tried Kim Kardashian's new shapewear line, SKIMS, and here is what we thought about the bodysuits, contouring shorts, and more.
, shapewear line finally launched today. The collection features 36 pieces in sizes XXS/XS to 4XL/5XL and nine different shades, with prices ranging from $18 to $98.? And is there a difference between this and other shapewear on the market? We wanted to find out. That's why the MarieClaire.com team volunteered as tribute and gave a few skews a test run.

There's no slit or buttons in the crotch, so you have to take off the entire piece every time you want to pee. I wore it with a short sleeved dress, so instead of taking off the dress entirely, I slipped the straps of the bodysuit off my arms and pulled it down underneath my dress.
I felt like a sausage all day and it felt like a splurge to eat a slice of pizza, though I never feel guilt about enjoying food. At the end of the day, I was so happy to undress and was surprised to note that discomfort I felt all day was actually the viscose pants and not the shapewear.
