Khloé Kardashian is opening up about her beauty preferences, cosmetic choices, and her sister Kim Kardashian's most talked-about SKIMS creation — the faux pubic hair thong, also known as the "Merkin."
In an interview with ELLE published on November 5, Khloé joined a playful round of "F--k, Marry, Kill," where she shared her unfiltered thoughts on viral SKIMS products. When asked about the "ultimate bush" thong that features hand-tufted faux pubic hair, Khloé didn't hold back. "Wait, is the Merkin the bush? The Merkin, we have to kill. I'm not for that," she said, adding, "I love Kim, but I can't handle it. [It's] too much for me. What were the years of laser for? It's crazy, right?"
The $32 thong, launched in October, sold out soon after release. The item, which comes in 12 different shades and textures, was promoted through a cheeky SKIMS campaign that asked, "Does the carpet match the drapes?" Kim later told E! News that she was surprised by the intense reaction, admitting, "I'm shocked. It got so much attention—we've been laughing and talking about it all day long." She added that the product "was just a fun, silly idea" inspired by a past photoshoot.
During the same interview, Khloé revealed her mixed feelings about other SKIMS pieces, like the viral nipple bra and the seamless sculpt face wrap. "The nipple bra I love, but then when I'm wearing it, I'm like, 'Why is everyone staring at me?' Well, duh, because my nipples are out," she said. She joked that she would "marry the nipple bra and f--k the face thing."
Khloé also opened up about her views on cosmetic procedures, explaining that she no longer favors fillers after past experiences. She expressed a strong preference for laser treatments, describing them as her top choice, while noting that she still appreciates Botox but in moderation.
Beyond SKIMS, Khloé has been busy with her own ventures. She recently launched her fragrance, Almost Always, featuring notes of lavender, magnolia, and a "kiss of vanilla." The Good American co-founder described it as "luxurious, feminine, and sensual," adding that it makes her feel "sexy and beautiful." The perfume launched online on November 5 and hits Ulta Beauty stores on November 9.
Despite her lighthearted criticism, Khloé remains one of Kim's biggest supporters. She recently appeared alongside Kim and their mother, Kris Jenner, at the NikeSKIMS launch event in New York City.
