Tan-Tastic To Make Tan Lines A History!

By Staff

Tanning
Here comes a boon for all women who are scared of tan lines. The efforts of a swimwear firm will soon make the ugly-looking tan lines a history! Their latest invention- "tan-through" bikinis make it all possible for you!

The "tan-through" bikinis have tiny holes on it. By adorning them sun worshippers can get an all-over tan but without having to get naked. The microscopic holes let 80 per cent of UV rays, which cause the skin to darken, to pass through.

The bikinis are made from a stretchy yarn described as "a chicken wire mesh material". They are see-through when held up to the light. Staffordshire-based Kiniki created the Tan Through range.

A swimsuit bought direct from the company's website costs 34.30 pounds while all other items are 17.43 pounds. The bikinis are selling out like hot cakes. Just after four weeks of its launch, the owners cannot keep up with the demand.

The bikini has a disclaimer saying customers have to put on a sensible level of sun block. You have to put the same sun protection on underneath the swimsuit as you would on the exposed parts of your body. Customers have to be responsible because the fabric does let the light straight through.
