This is a bit weird; opening Kiniki's main website shows no sign of the Newton range, clicking on new products takes you to bamboo underwear. If you click on the Search box and type in Newton you go into another parallel website.
They produced a range of G strings, thongs, string bikinis (tangas), bikini briefs (micro briefs) and square cuts (hipsters).
They've made the whole range out of a microfiber spandex mix, I've met microfiber in cleaning and polishing cloths, microfiber is actually good for making face masks and lightweight camping towels but I've never seen it used in clothing before. I cannot judge whether it is any good.
Ten years ago Kiniki's range was a bit sad and dated, Arena had introduced low cut styles a generation before, Aqus in Japan was making extremely low cut bikinis and Kiniki hadn't caught up.
Kiniki introduced tan through fabrics which were brightly printed fine nets that hoped that the dazzle of abstract bright colours would distract the viewer from seeing through them. If you have a private pool overlooked by neighbours this might work for you but really it might be easier to go to a nude beach now and then.
The new Newton range doesn't have a classic 2" side racing/diving brief, so it's not really aimed at pool swimmers.
Kiniki claim that all the designs are low cut and ergonomically designed offering a supportive front pouch, but the pictures are either artists impressions or heavily processed. There are no photos of male models actually wearing them.
I suspect that Kiniki are still working on the product and website which is still in it's beta form. If you are reading this Kiniki send me some to try out and I'll test them and review them for you. I have bought your products before.
