Men's swimming trunks
Men's swimming trunks, I sunbathed in the +36 degree Celsius sun for 5 days, no tan under my panties, maybe 2-3% at most, my whole body is brown, but my bottom is white.
Men's tan-through micro swim briefs
I bought a pair of men's tan-through micro swim briefs about 2 months ago. It's a fantastic product. They are super skimpy although the tanga version is even skimpier. I did remove the mesh lining which makes them a little more comfortable. Highly recommended if you like being nearly nude.
They simply do not work
They simply do not work. Been on holiday in 30°c heat, zero tan, it's not even like they tan 10%, total waste of money and no point in wearing them.
Fantastic Customer Service
Fantastic Customer Service. My first time buying from this company, and I am really impressed, with quality, price, and above all, the staff patience and helpfulness. Especially Melanie.
I am looking forward to my next holiday to wear my new swimwear. Very Highly Recommended Company. Thank you. Brian - Manchester.
I ordered and it was delivered quickly.
I ordered and it was delivered quickly.
Only issue is the chest room for ladies is snug and it flattens them.
I think they could be more adventurous, as I'm not fond of skimpy bottoms, I don't want my backside hanging out in shorts, I'd prefer full coverage bottoms that maybe were retro or skirtini style or if they had tan through flirty shorts, long enough so thighs don't rub.
It would be nice if they had a matching his and hers in a nice print.

Just bought some of their tan through swimwear really happy very snug fit feel amazing and as mine are as amazon said 5th generation ones they came with a drawstring so that was the icing on the cake because in add it dosent mention a drawstring. So im really happy and ive even ordered another pair.
Good range & quality, good prices.
Great range of underwear and swimwear, great to see a good range of styles for men other thank boring boxers. Love their Tangas and thongs well made and great value compared to so called designer brands. Quick delivery. Used many times with no problems.
Excellent holiday swimwear
I've been using the swimwear for over 10 years. I swim in the costume and definitely tan my back and bum whilst doing so. The products are beautiful. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED 😀.
Great customer service!!
I've purchased 4 bathers (2 separate purchase). Materials are very breathable, lightweight & quick to dry. I would order again just a couple of things, material tying around the neck is a bit rough but I alter the strings to be like bra straps. One tankini size was a bit tight & customer service is sending me the next size up. So good. Thank you.

This is a swimwear company that makes beautiful swimwear for women of all sizes , Im a size 16 , it was true to size and they made my summer .
Great price, exceptional customer service and return policy .
Love the texture and how it looks.
Works to some degree
Okay, this works but to some degree. The claimed spf 7/10 it’s way to optimistic, more like a 25/30. I have been using on 2 holidays and compared to regular the difference can be seen. No one ever found out it’s see through so probably as long as you won’t tell nobody find out.
I’m using gen5 and it’s still stretchy and the colors won’t fade out (which was my concern).
I purchased many pair over the years
I purchased many pair over the years. I use these for my 3 week Holiday once a year. The 8 pr I brought with me in 2022 were gen 4. All stretched out so bad I could no longer keep everything in. I had to toss them . I purchased more of the gen 4 on clearance. The new gen 5 is supposed to be better than 4 for the stretching out issue but a swim suit should not fail from tanning on the beach for 3 weeks. I have spent a small fortune on these suits over the years. I am disappointed knowing the 8 or 10 I have that are brand new will only make it weeks before they no longer fit.
Exceptional customer service
These have not eliminated my white butt, but from all I have read this should improve over time. The suit does feel like you are wearing nothing, but are not see through due to the design.
I must compliment them on exceptional customer service! I have worn these quite often since I received them in June, hand washing it after use, and I noticed 2 spots seemed to be wearing prematurely near the seams by mid August. My wife's suit and coverup are still perfect. I reached out with some photos and a description and to my surprise a replacement was on the way to me in less than 72 hours from the date of my contacting them after confirming my address. It was indicated the suit should NOT wear that fast and it was indeed likely defective material.
Would recommend and will be telling all my friends about the experience.
US purchase, no tariff collected.

Wore for 3 weeks solid on holiday and same tan lines in all the same places as any other bikini I had worn previously.
Bought in sale, fit is nice but don’t buy it because it’s tan through, it is not, I travel a lot, my melanin levels are already built up and 3 weeks wear should have improved on other bikinis that don’t claim to be tan through
Missing items from order and no response
Only recieved the bottoms from my order with no top depsite paying for it. I emailed them regarding this and 5 days later I have still had no respoonse to the only contact option they give which is email.

Great experience with Kiniki
Great experience with Kiniki. Ordered several products from Australia - transaction was seamless, was kept informed of shipping progress, and it arrived much quicker than other closer internet purchases. I had an issue with sizing and larger item was dispatched even before the smaller item could be returned. Customer service and speed of action was unmatched in my experience. AND great product!! Very pleased with purchase and Kiniki.

Tan through swim wear, but is it?
I recently purchased a tan through deep waist swimming brief for myself, and a tan through bikini for my wife with the intent of us both achieving an all over tan on holiday, but it was not to be. My first disappointment was the sizing. I'm 5'10" tall and of fairly slim build, but still had to buy an 'XL' size as 'L'were too small. However, the sizing of my wife's bikini was correct. Secondly, after wearing the trunks everyday for a fortnight I hade a lovely tan, but not under the trunks where my skin was still white. My wife had the same issue, no tan under the bikini after two weeks on the sun bed. In my humble opinion this fabric is not 'tan through' as advertised and isn't fit for purpose and we won't be purchasing any more. Buyer beware.

Very disappointed after paying a lot of money for a bikini and I still ended up with tan lines and white bits, wish I had read the reviews first before buying,

Absolutely no customer support whatsoever. I sent an email through their own site, chased it up a week later. Two weeks after that, still no answer. Basically they just ignored me.
