I gained a little weight so tried Skims, it snapped open in a very public place, my mongoose was flapping in the wind
A FASHION fan has revealed that she had a very public and embarrassing wardrobe malfunction in a popular fashion item.
After gaining some weight, her Skims bodysuit snapped open and left her private areas completely exposed.
Professional makeup artist Erica Taylor (@ericataylor2347) is a 47-year-old mom of three who shares beauty and fashion tips and tricks online.
In a TikTok video, she veered from her normal content to tell viewers about a wardrobe malfunction she experienced in a Skims shapewear item.
“Today I wore the Skims for the first time, and they unsnapped in the middle of New York City and I went up the escalator in Columbus Circle commando. Unleash the Kraken,” she said comically.
Erica explained that after gaining some weight she decided to try the style to help smooth out her curvy body.
She admitted that “the snaps didn’t feel tight” when she snapped it closed but didn’t worry about it at the time.
“I’ve had all the Spanx. I’ve had lots of others. I had even Forever 21 bodysuits,” she detailed.
While getting out of a cab for an influencer event, the Kardashian-brand fashion item just snapped open in public.
People were complimenting her outfit but were completely unaware of what was going on under the surface.
“You have no idea that I’ve got a mongoose on the bottom,” she joked.
Mongoose was a humorous term for her private vaginal region.
“Basically, I’m flapping in the wind, going up the escalator at Columbus Circle, hoping to not offend women and children and men,” she divulged.
In a subtitle, she dubbed it a “Skims gone wrong” moment.
“I’m just trying to get up the stairs classy as can be until I can get to the bathroom and re-snap,” she said.
People related to the funny scenario and shared similar experiences.
“This has happened to me and it rolled up my body so fast that it looked like an old-fashioned window shade. I was waiting for it to be a necklace,” a viewer shared.
“It was up to my waist in one second. Completely naked on the bottom,” the content creator replied.
“Not me wearing my skims bodysuit to a funeral and it unsnapped halfway through. My girl flapped in the wind while paying respects,” another added.
“I am laughing so hard. I am so sorry this happened to you but thank you for making the best of it and giving us a good laugh!” a TikTok user chimed in.
