ACROSS SPAIN OCTOBER EDITION

If you've ever spent two weeks on the beach gaining the perfect tan - then you've probably also spent two weeks watching your white bits get whiter. For bikini-wearing women, it can be very frustrating to then come home to show off your tan in a nice backless number - while at the same time displaying the tell-tale strap marks across your back. However, happy holidaymakers can make the most of a sizzling summer by wearing swimsuits that have been dubbed "the full monty". Modest Brits will finally get to fulfil their naked ambitions for a flawless all-over tan by covering up with bikinis and trunks that let the sun in - but keep you covered up. The cheeky creations come from British manufacturer Kiniki, which has seen a surge in requests from sun worshippers for its latest designs after securing a worldwide patent on the innovative material. "These swimsuits are the perfect solution for shy Brits who don't want white bits," says John Walker, founder of Kiniki.

"The fabric is actually a fine mesh but you can't see through it as we have created an optical illusion that keeps your privates private. Covering up with Kiniki is the English way of going the full monty." The fabric, Transol, allows 80% of the sun's ultra-violet rays to pass through it, allowing wearers to obtain that all-over bronzed look while minimalising tan lines. However, it is important to remember that the sun's rays can be very strong and will pass through the swimwear. Therefore, sun lotion should still be applied even under areas covered by swimwear. Established in 1976, Kiniki, based in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, has grown from a backroom business for mail order men's underwear into a manufacturing success story with more than one million sales a year under its belt. The swimwear is available for both men and women in a variety of styles and colours.
