Kiniki understands us

Post by DownUnder »

I have received an email from Kiniki, which actually answers some of the questions and thoughts posed on this forum. I'll only quote selected parts of it. It's almost like someone from Kiniki has discovered this forum (my earlier "are they 'aving a larf" topic) and is trying to put their side of the argument.
DOES LENGTH MATTER???
Well...yes! Actually it does.

No we don't mean that, we mean your underwear!

For many, underwear isn't important. You pop some on each morning and buy new ones when there are more holes than there are legs. To us here at Kiniki - underwear means far more!

Underwear should be comfortable, soft, fun and never detract or distract from your day. That is why we have perfected underwear for the last 30 years. Designing great underwear that can be worn by everyone.
These first few paragraphs show that they recognise that most men are not interested in the underwear they wear, but equally, some, like us here, are interested in what we wear.
This year we introduced 2 brand new styles to our ranges, the Trunk and the Boxer. In addition to our Hipster this now gives you 3 different lengths of underwear to choose from.

The Trunk is our shortest leg at 19cm. Perfect if you prefer a sportier, more fitted feel.

The Hipster at 24cm is our bestseller, available in a wide range of fabrics and colours. We sell 10s of thousands of these and the variety has never been bigger or better.

Then we have the Boxer, at 28cm. With no ride-up and made of our new SuperSoft Modal fabric these are an incredible pair to wear. Loved by the guys at HQ and with a smooth finish that has to be felt to be believed.
OK, but Kiniki, you actually do better than this, in that you have styles with 0 cm legs, namely g-strings and thongs. So why not advertise these styles as well, alert potential customers to the fact, and maybe enjoy a few extra sales for no additional expense.

Got the email too and was very disappointed with it. Very disappointed in their offerings now too. They've basically have gone mainstream and have little for us bikini and thong wearers especially the ones that don't like the waistbands even if unbranded. They stopped offering their narrow front bikini briefs that I tried too late to stock up on. Appears to be getting rid of their Riviera swim brief too that I like. There are others too. Might do a post on some of the pairs I've gotten from them over the years. Another brand I've bought from for many years that doesn't appear I'll be buying from anytime soon with the new offerings.

Kiniki still makes up the bulk of my inventory, as my old Prevail Sport ones have worn out over the years. I mostly wear the Alex, Newton, and Kelly styles...mostly the Kelly types day-to-day, even as they are probably the most revealing.

Kiniki are my 'go to' underwear and swimwear provider, generally for the later as I have a few Joe Snyder basic bikinis.
However, I like kiniki as they still have cotton underwear as well as synthetic with my favourite style being the micro bikini. So I was delighted when they started introducing more colours for this style, which I buy every couple of months. I also love their Andre style micro bikini swimsuit and again, I was delighted when they finally started making them in more colours; specifically the royal blue which I've been asking them to make for an number of years. I love the cut and brevity of these really skimpy bikinis which I may add, I wear in public without issue.

Kiniki makes something for every taste and every style. That's what I love about them!

I’ve just ordered a bunch of stuff from them . I wish their styles were a bit briefer and more varied but I was happy with the cubas i bought , these half back swimmers have a delicate strap sides which make them quite daring . Okay wish the pouch front was smaller as I like to have a more daring look when round the euro pools . But they are certainly eye catchers . Very happy with the Andre for mainstream swimming in uk … it’s very brief but acceptable and new colours have been added . I’m bored with my everyday underwear so I’ve branched out into a mixture of Tangas and thongs mainly in bright pastel colours . Love seeing them drying round my flat , just better remove them before I have visitors !

I just posted at another spot my satisfaction with the new patterned Newton tangas; they work well for me!
