Tactics Greek Swim Bikini Review
I do like the cut of the Tactics Greek Bikini from Undergear. It has a smooth lined V-pouch front, European style back, sides sit on the hip and are about 1 1/4″, and has a drawstring. Two improvements I’d make to it are a little more room in the front and a thicker pouch lining. I have to adjust the front when I put them on to make sure the package is all contained and I do not consider myself large. I’d like a thicker lining, so the online of the package isn’t as defined. Other than that I do love the cut and how it looks on. It’s made of a nylon/spandex fabric and available in a few colors. I haven’t really worn it yet, so haven’t washed it though you are suppose to hand wash and hang dry.
If the two improvements were made that I mentioned above this would be a two thongs up recommendation. As is I’d still give it a one thong up and would consider purchasing another pair if the price was right.

The cut looks good though I’d wear it a little lower so doesn’t over stretch and give little freedom in front. Would be interested in the white as regards transparency.
There probably is a good chance that the white would be pretty transparent when wet, since the pair I have has a fairly thin white front lining.
These have a great cut and I like the colour you choose. I don’t normally go for green and I usually prefer a fuller back but I might think about picking some of these up.
Unfortunately I don’t think these are available anymore. I got them from Undergear and they seem to be out of business. Maybe they’d show up on ebay at some point.
Ah ok – that’s a shame. I was looking forward to trying something with a briefer back but maybe I’ll find one on eBay
Have you tried any of Kiniki’s swimsuits? I have a half back they use to have called Cobra, which is a snake print. Haven’t really worn it with it being less coverage, but like the print. They have some 3/4 backs and I find their stuff is well made. I’d like to try their Andre Swim Micro, which one of these days I will. Haven’t ordered from them in quite some time now.
Yes I have a couple of Kiniki swimsuits but I find the sizing a bit hit and miss for me. I do like the cut of them though. Here’s a few pics of me in the 3/4 back one I have which I think is similar to the current Riviera range:

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Those look like the Riviera ones and I wouldn’t mind trying. I haven’t had any issues with sizing in the past with Kiniki. Though probably been 5 years since I last purchased and that was mostly underwear.
I love the cut of these; so skimpy. I like the idea of a drawstring also as many bikinis don’t have that. Only old school speedo style had draw strings which is why I like the idea. I quite like to have th string showing and sitting atop my bulge as it will sometimes draw favourable attention. It’s a suit reminiscent of some I had in the early 80s when no-one really made a fuss about your swimwear.
