Remi Bader Skewers $58 Micro Teddy in Skims Try-On

Remi Bader put Kim Kardashian’s Skims Fits Everybody claim on the spot Wednesday, using an Instagram try-on video to test the Micro Teddy in public. Her verdict was not subtle: the item drew jokes about fit, coverage and how it is meant to be worn.

The Micro Teddy costs $58 and comes in neon pink and leopard, but it was already sold out in sizes XXS to M. Bader, an influencer and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, started the video in a nude bra and high-waisted briefs before dropping the bra altogether as she kept trying to make the piece work.

Wednesday Instagram trial run

Bader’s first line made the business case immediately: “For $58 you can have your very own floss up you’re a—hole.” That is not product-copy language; it is a customer-side stress test of how much fabric a high-price item actually gives you when the brand is selling inclusivity as part of the promise.

She kept going with a second complaint that was more practical than punchy. “I wanna know what they were thinking in terms of this device and how one gets it in,” she said while trying it on, which turns the joke into a real wearability question for anyone who has seen the same collection marketed as broad enough to cover a wide size range.

Fits Everybody, except Micro Teddy

Skims is described as ranging from XXS to 3X across its products, and that is exactly why the reaction landed. A line built around fit and size range gets harder to defend when one item in the collection is mocked for barely covering the smallest visible parts of the body and for selling out in XXS to M before many buyers could even test it themselves.

The tension is not about whether Bader liked the look. It is about whether a product like the Micro Teddy functions as lingerie, novelty, or a practical garment at all when the wear process itself becomes the joke. Her line, “Whomst is everybody? Because this doesn’t even fit the small part of my nipple,” leaves the clearest reading: the claim is bigger than the item.

Kim Kardashian’s sizing claim

For shoppers, the useful takeaway is simple. The video suggests that a size-inclusive label can still produce a piece whose real-world fit is narrow, especially when the available run stops at M and the product appears designed more for shock value than everyday wear. If the question is how the Micro Teddy is meant to be fastened in normal use, the video does not answer it; that silence is the point.
