Skin suits, alternately referred to as flesh suits (TV: The Lost Boy) or skin vessels, (PROSE: Creatures and Demons) were disguises made of the skin of an individual.
The suits were used by several species. Among them were the Raxacoricofallapatorians. (TV: Boom Town) If the skin was smaller than the individual using it, there were different techniques to use. The Raxacoricofallapatorians used compression field collars. Initially, the range of wearable skins were limited to humanoids of large builds and had the side effect of frequent gas expulsion. (TV: Aliens of London/World War Three) In the early 21st century, compression field technology later advanced to the point where they could fit inside the skins those of thinner frames and life forms the size of footballs. The gas exchange issue was fixed. (TV: The Lost Boy, PROSE: The Monsters Inside)
Raxacoricofallapatorians such as the Slitheen typically created skin suits from individuals they had murdered. Alternatively, synthetic skin suits were in use by 3764, when Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen wore one based on an image of the Ninth Doctor broadcast from Fluren's World to act as the star of Doctor Who?. (COMIC: Doctormania) It was still possible to have sex with the skin suit's species of origin; suggesting the technology can replicate the reproductive biology to an extent. A Slitheen posing as Oliver Charles noted he enjoyed the act with Mrs. Charles, a mistress and a farmer. (TV: Aliens of London)
The Foamasis were gifted with a biology that gave them hollow bones with double joints every few centimetres, a high liquid content, small organs and a retractable tail. (PROSE: Placebo Effect)
Historians who had been allowed access to the "Monster Vaults" of the databanks in the Doctor's TARDIS observed that, to an Abzorbaloffs, who absorbed other creatures into their body, the Slitheen tactic of hiding inside other creatures was beneath contempt. (PROSE: The Monster Vault)

The Passameer-Day Slitheen wore skin suits made from members of the British government whom they had slain; Jocrassa Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen was disguised as Joseph Green, Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen as Margaret Blaine, Sip Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen as PC Strickland, one as Oliver Charles then R.

While wearing the suit, Blon detached her arm to threaten Rose Tyler. Soon after, however, Blon was regressed back into an egg by the heart of the TARDIS. (TV: Boom Town) Returned to Raxacoricofallapatorius by the Ninth Doctor, Blon, renamed "Margaret", was raised as a Jingatheen and continued to wear the skin of Margaret Blaine.
