Along with being salt water and chlorine resistant they also protect from UV. The fabric is very strange, I feel like I'm naked when it's on even though it's not the least bit see through. I doesn't... See more

Gave me tan lines

Used them for a week and I have tan lines just like with any other swimwear so really disappointed.

Also, the material is really scratchy.

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. It must be remembered that our swimwear is designed to allow up to 80% of the sun rays through - minimising tanlines - the only way to fully eradicate tanlines is to sunbathe nude.

It is takes time for the skin to get used to the sun, those areas that are traditionally covered by swimwear, the buttocks for example, take time to 'practice' tanning as the melanin levels are much, much lower than say the arms or legs meaning even without clothes they would take longer to tan until they are used to that level of sun exposure.

We always endeavour to ensure that customers are 100% satisfied with their products from us so please feel free to return the items and we will happily return you a full refund.

Kind regards,
Dominic

Next best thing to bare skin

I have bought a number of Kiniki's men's Tan Through swimming briefs. I love their patterns, they breathe and after swimming they dry out incredibly quickly. OK, I prefer swimming naked when possible, but when required they provide the essential cover. While wearing Kiniki micro briefs, I use mine when gardening, and the patterning is so clever that I have held conversations with "sensitive" neighbours, without their knowledge that the Sun was reaching my most secret places.
I would caution new customers to err one or two sizes on the generous side; they are admirably skimpy, but just a wee bit on the tight side, however elastic.
Again, I generally go commando, but their underwear is refreshingly different in design and colour from the bog standard stuff put out by larger organisations.
And they are British!

Hi James,

Wow! What a lovely review.

We're super happy that you love your Tan Through, we go to great lengths to find incredible prints that let the sun through but nothing else. Keep that Vitamin D topped up and those tan-lines away!

So glad you like the new underwear too. Have you checked out our super-soft brushed modal yet?

We are indeed British, everything is made right here in our Staffordshire sewing room.

Thanks again and happy tanning!

Kind regards,
Kiniki

Unique swim/underware products

Unique British made swim/underware products. Received my order promptly by post. Unfortunately had to return swimwear to exchange for a larger size which I received by return of post, no problem.

EXCELLENT

I have shopped with Kiniki in the Past and thought i would replenish my undies draw so spent a good few £s lol Superb Fit Top Quality Materials and Superbly made and i would most defiantly Recommend Kiniki.

I hope in the future Kiniki will eventually Design and Produce Women's Lingerie with the same exceptional top quality Craftsmanship and Superb quality Materials.

Great swimwear

I have both swimsuit and underwear products. The swimsuits are both the tan-thru and solid color suits. All are well made. They cling to the body like a second skin and leave you feeling almost nude except for the lift of the pouch against your privates. After buying an initial order, I am going back for more.

Poor quality products

Poor quality products. Tried two swimsuits and both were see through. I wore the bikini top underneath to preserve modesty but the plastic fastener snapped within 20 minutes. I would have exposed myself to everyone if I was actually wearing it as a bikini. I since read other reviews and this is a common issue.
Spent 7 days in Cyprus and wore these every day. I did not tan at all through either swimsuit.
Complete waste of money!!

Great company to deal with - unfortunately the product wasn't suitable for me!

I ordered a tan-through costume, the item came very quickly, packaged well and basically I got what I ordered!
On opening I realised that tan-through actually means extremely see-through when held up - although this is how it should be - allowing the Suns Ray's to filter through and the heavy pattern to camouflage the body I felt that I would be extremely self conscious should I wear it outdoors (bad enough worrying about a white costume going see-through while swimming - frankly I felt that I'd be 1 step up from strutting my stuff on a nudist beach if I wore the kiniki suit out in public!)
I realise that this is only my view and that many others dare to brave the look and to be honest if my experience with kiniki as a company is anything to go by then I should have trusted that their product was very good
On returning the product I was refunded very quickly with no quibbles.
I would definitely recommend anyone trying the product to see if it is good for them...... Unfortunately it wasn't for me (maybe if I had a toned body!) however like I experienced it's worth ordering as the service was brilliant!

Great distinctive products

I have been a customer of Kiniki for seven years. Their underwear and swimwear never fail to impress. Their underwear is comfortable and always looks good.
Their swimwear is always eyecatching. I especially like their Tanthru versions which let the suns rays through and help avoid unsightly tanlines.
As a long term highly satisfied customer I can only say that I highly recommend giving Kiniki a try, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
