Kiniki Reviews 

Yes they are tan through (but you need a bit of patience if you have never wore them before).
There is a very light cover on your skin so you will be 1/2 shades "lighter" than the areas fully exposed to the sun.

You have probably experienced this before: we tend to tan less on our faces than our forearms (sun angle, longer exposure etc)

I have a very, very very light skin tone but can tan and get to a very dark tone.

After a normal-bikini summer my tan would fade to a lighter tone, but you can still see the definite "whiter than white" area where no sun has ever reached :)

It took me 2 years to have no tan line with the kiniki swimwear. Year 1 my incredibly white skin got a bit darker underneath the swimwear.
But any exposed skin (forearms etc) started from a different shade, so they did look darker.

After year 2 I cannot see any definite tan lines, I can see a slight tone difference between exposed and under-the-swimsuit skin, but it's a blend rather than the harsh "Oreo" difference I had before.

Ps I will admit that the bikini straps only, being ticket than the rest of the swimsuit, have a stronger sun-protection ability. So I could "see" them in year one. But I don't think anyone else would have been able to spot them on my neck.
By popping the straps down very occasionally or just moving them a bit, this was not the case after year 2.

This was a very long review to say: yes, it works, you will not have to look like an Oreo anymore (yuppi).
Remember good SPF.
And give your skin some time: if the rest of the body is tanned/used to tan, it will produce melanin faster than the areas underneath the swimsuits, but after 2 summers I cannot see any difference. Love it.

I just love my set of neon Newton Tangas. Vibrant colours, comfortable fit and wonderful feeling of freedom. Quick delivery too.

If you are black like I am, the confusing print they use wont cause any problems. But there's this white triangle of fabric they use to hide your crotch. If you are dark skinned, it translates to a strange white patch on your crotch. Still love the design, wish I could get a refund but its fine, still love your prints and the idea of tan-through swimwear.

I found this brand completely by accident, the 50% sale promoted me to give them a try. Website easy to use, good accurate pictures of the products and sensible postage cost of £3.50. Two days later the order arrived. Individual packaged in environmentally friendly pouches. The feel and quality of the underwear is fantastic! Also found out they theu are British made in Staffordshire by what seems to be a family owned, long established company. I have placed a second order already

I love this swimwear! I sit between an Australian size 10 and 12 so wasn't sure which size to order, but based on other reviews I ordered the size 10, and the fit is great! Definitely go to the smaller size if you're between two sizes. A lot of reviews say they're see-through, but honestly they aren't see through ONCE YOU PUT THEM ON - unless someone came right up close, on a very particular angle, in just the right light, and tried really really hard to look. I bought them thinking I'd only wear them in the back yard but they look so great I will wear them to the beach too! They seem to make me look slimmer than other swimwear I own, perhaps because they're matt, not shiny? My only thought is that perhaps if you were very large busted, the strapless design (I bought) would probably not provide enough support. But that's not me, so I'm very happy with them.

I love my Franco boxers! I have been a Kiniki customer for years and keep coming back for more- it's the only place I go for underwear now.
The boxers are so comfortable and well made, and deli very is always on time and in individually wrapped pouches.

As of August 29, 2020 Saturday I have not received any refund on my order that was placed on August 22, 2020 Saturday requesting that my order be canceled because I believed that I was being over charged by JW Walker Bank who I guess takes care of Online orders receiving payments form the customers bank account. And the phone number for Kiniki does not work in Southern California.

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.

Once problem with shipping company was identified, the assistance provided by customer service was simply outsyanding. Thanks

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!

Purchased some miles thongs great cuts and shape

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.

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.

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. 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!!

Good quality Mens underwear, fast delivery, and made in England.

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!

Fun underwear, Vince brief is good quality.

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.
