Skimpies' flagship product is the Original Leggings Liner, a breathable organic cotton liner designed to stick into leggings and provide an alternative to underwear. The brand was created by Bette Bentley (who developed the OG SKU in 2020) and officially launched in September 2024, building growth primarily through TikTok live selling, viral social content and a DTC site including TikTok Shop. In its first year of sales the company moved approximately $10 million in product, and it recently raised a $1 million seed round to support scaling. Planned uses of capital include new product launches (the company plans two next products), supply-chain expansion and retail-readiness for larger distribution. Skimpies is pursuing retail partnerships and is in discussions with one of the biggest U.S. chains for a potential nationwide spring 2027 launch, while continuing community-led marketing and live selling as core go-to-market methods.
