After now ordering two catsuits and some stockings from Kink Projects, it is time to write a proper review of this shop. To be clear, I’ve only ordered from them until now, so I do not have any other shop to compare them to (besides some smaller and lower quality items from Aliexpress and Amazon).
Why Did I choose Kink Projekts
Over an extended period, I explored several shops. I wasn’t very experienced with latex yet. Until now, I had only purchased smaller items through AliExpress or Amazon, so I wanted to avoid spending a fortune on my first larger piece (a catsuit). At Kink Projects, I found made-to-measure catsuits at a good price, and after several months of research and consideration, I decided to place an order there. I’m really pleased with the catsuit I received, which led me to decide to order a second one from them rather than switching to a higher-priced shop.
Ordering and first contact with their staff
Before ordering I had a few questions (like turnaround times and other minor stuff). They answered pretty fast, almost every time within one day. Their english was okay, but it was still noticable that communicating in english is not their strongest point. This almost lead to errors in the communication between them and me, but this was always correctable.
Their shop is pretty straight forward, it’s just like any other online store. They provide good guidelines for measuring yourself in form of one chart and videos for males and females (the male version looks a bit… intimidating, I prefer the female version). I’d recommend to let someone else take the measurements, as taking good measurements yourself is pretty hard to get right. You could also go to a tailor and let them measure you, that should be the most accurate option.
After entering your measurements in your customer account you can order garments that are made-to-measure to that size. This service costs a little extra but that is almost always the case. Ordering made to measure is recommended for any larger garments, otherwise they usually don’t fit as good as latex should fit.
Their products can be customized (color and thickness of the latex, zipper placements, chlorination, …) and they offer a pretty good range of different garments. The customization options are good. They offer custom stuff, but I have not used that service yet.
I’ve contacted them before each order and asked them to ask for my measurements as soon as my order was due to be started. That way I could enter my measurements a few weeks after the order itself (where I also entered correct measurements) and therefore can provide more up-to-date measurements to them.
Manufacturing
They take their time, which is my biggest negative point about them. Otherwise, they update the order status on the order page of their website, so you can track the current status of your order. I usually check the status every few days after placing my order. Once they are finished (which can take a few months), you receive an email with your shipping number.
Import Taxes
They typically ship with FedEx, allowing you to pay the fees conveniently through their online service. This works well and adds only a few extra dollars to the import taxes. FedEx usually takes just a few weeks to deliver the order to my door.
Packaging
The packaging from Kink Projects is neutral; it’s just a plain FedEx package. The individual pieces are covered in talcum powder or silicone oil, depending on the option you choose. The individual items are folded well and kept in separate plastic bags.
The Products themselve
Quality
The quality of the garments is quite good, especially considering the low price. I noticed some glue marks here and there, but usually on the inside. They also reinforce common stress points, like the armpit or the center of the crotch area, with an additional patch of latex, which should help with longevity. I’ve experienced some minor holes after wearing my catsuit for almost a year now, but they are all in common stress areas and possibly due to the not-so-exact measurements I provided. Specifically, the shoulder measurement on my first catsuit is a few centimeters too wide, which leads to high stress in that area… So, measure accurately and multiple times.
The chlorination appears to be done correctly; the chlorinated suit feels good and is not stiff.
Fit
My first catsuit fits quite well, but it has issues around the shoulders. However, that error is on me; I provided incorrect measurements. The second suit fits much better, as my wife and I took more time to take multiple measurements and be precise with them. The suit has pretty tight arms, which are a bit too tight for my taste. They leave some bruises in my armpits after a few hours of wear — Kink Project says that it’s fine and all according to my measurements. With some silicone oil, it feels better, but in my opinion, they made it too small. Besides that, the second suit fits really well!
Conclusion
Overall, my experience with Kink Projects has been quite positive. After ordering two made-to-measure catsuits and some stockings, I’ve found that their products offer good quality at competitive prices. While the communication was occasionally challenging due to language barriers, their customer service was responsive and helpful. The customization options allow for a tailored fit, which is particularly important for latex garments.
Despite some minor issues, such as lengthy manufacturing times and a few sizing quirks related to my measurements, I’m satisfied with the final products. The quality of the materials and the attention to stress points in the design show that Kink Projects is committed to delivering durable and functional garments. By taking the time to measure accurately and communicate effectively with the staff, I believe other customers can enjoy similar positive results.
I look forward to continuing my journey with Kink Projects and exploring their other offerings, as I appreciate their dedication to customer satisfaction and the quality of their latex products.
