I donned my Mankini and strode onto the golden sands of South Shields(!!) Not too many Germans about, but it still got me a lot of attention – teenage girls couldn’t stop giggling and quite a few shouted out ‘Borat!’ However, I wasn’t bothered – I was sponsored to wear it and raised money for a good cause.
It’s now been consigned to the ‘Garments worn once, but never again’ bin: but that’s more a reflection of my innate shyness than any statement on the quality of this garment. Wearing it was a lot of fun, but you’ve got to have a lot of balls (it helps!) and/or a thick hide to do so, otherwise you could feel REALLY self conscious. I can see groups of lads on holiday all wearing one and having a good laugh with it – there’s always safety in numbers!
As I only wore it once I can’t really comment on the durability, but it supported me OK (and there’s a lot to support – I wish!!), even though I get the feeling it may be prone to ‘saggage’. Of course, it looks absolutely ridiculous – but that’s the whole point.
Overall, recommended for those with a larger than life sense of humour.

Size is crucial with the Mankini and as the first one I received was definitely too long I had to exchange it. This was no problem and I was delighted when I received my very own perfectly fitting lime green Mankini. It caused a sensation on the beach at Saltcoats I can tell you. It is a big hit with the ladies. They never stopped staring at me all day. I had a wonderful time, and though it came off once while swimming I managed to get it back on without anyone noticing.
There was a problem later however as someone stole my clothes and as the sun went down it got damn cold. I had to hitch a lift back home. Bloody awkward. No one would stop. Crowds of people gathered outside pubs as I walked by shivering. Lots of shouting and course comments. Eventually a car did stop. It was the police. they wanted an ‘explanation”. Well I ended up spending the night in the cells. Otherwise a thoroughly good buy.

i can only recommend it. it surely spiced up my honeymoon.

I wore this on the beach in the South of France this summer, and I must say that it gets you a lot of attention (especially from Germans[?]). I would totally recommend anyone to buy this mankini; it looks superb, its extremely durable, and its really comfortable no matter where you decide to wear it.

My mother bought me this.
Now I can never speak to her again.
