SKIMS’ ‘Ultimate Bush’ Faux-Hair Thong Sells Out Within a Day

The retro game‑show rollout turned a merkin‑style novelty into a viral test of the revived ‘full bush’ aesthetic.

Overview

  • SKIMS unveiled the Faux Hair Micro String Thong on Oct. 14 with a 1970s‑style “Does the carpet match the drapes?” campaign video.
  • The listing calls it the brand’s most daring panty, describing hand‑made super‑sheer mesh with curly or straight faux hair across 12 shades, priced at $32 in sizes XXS–4X.
  • The product sold out online in less than 24 hours across all colors and sizes, and the website now offers waitlists for prospective buyers.
  • Kim Kardashian promoted the drop on Instagram Stories, describing the merkins as “funny” and “insane.”
  • Coverage places the launch within a wider return of visible pubic‑hair aesthetics on runways and TikTok, as social media reactions range from marketing applause to disbelief and disgust.
