Has anyone purchased any swimsuits from Hirogato's swimsuit site?
They have some interesting designs, and seems like they also have a new material: semi-matte.

I love Hiro Gato's stuff. I'm going to get a leotard soon as well as some pantyhose

Hi all,

Little question.  I love xckny stuff, but I thing I’ll order from Hiro gato next as I’m a bit disappointed with the longevity.

Is Hiro Gato more durable for the price difference?

What material do they sell that feels the most like xckny stuff? 
Satin spandex or shiny Lycra?  And I’ll definitely by a sheer nylon full suit one day …

Thanks for your insight if any of you as aeady compared them

Yes, I think Hiro Gato is better made. I have these material types so far:

Mystique Metallic Blue
Mystique Metallic Black
Mystique Metallic Orange
Shiny Metallic Steel
Shiny Metallic Black
Shiny Metallic Blue
Shiny Metallic Pink
Semi Matte Spandex Black

And I have a Snakeskin Metallic Black Catsuit on the way.

My favourite is the Shiny Metallic Black. Quite similar to the Fetsfash Shiny Black, but slightly thicker.

So far none of them are like the xckny shiny lycra. But I am very happy with them.

I wish they made matching hoods though (Like Fetsfash do).

Not for the height of Summer, but for the cooler months - unless, of course, you're into sweating as you struggle!

Generously proportioned too. Don't order too large.

Ok, thanks for you insight 😊. Does the material last longer? I’ve found xckny very sensitive to rub. Mine are marked very fast by my corset, nipple clamp or cage (when lying on the ground hogtied). (Oddly, not on my nylon rope)

Any, Lycra spandex is prone to snagging & pilling.
It's just a delicate fabric. Usually, the more soft, slick and shiny, the more vulnerable it is.

So if you want durable, snag/pilling resistant 'spandex' , you're probably limited to PBT spandex and recycled ECO nylon spandex. Those can still look shiny, but they feel coarse and stiff compared to the really delicate Lycra.

Ok thanks. I guess I’ll need to be mirer selective about what I do and accept the consequence then.

I mean, quite often, women's "satin" panties are actually just Lycra as well. Maybe the percentile composition of it might be slightly different but it's basically the same and hence they're often known as "delicates". That's why those special lingerie laundry mesh bags exist, to protect the delicate lingerie in the washing machine.

That's also the reason why I manicure/take care of my hands' skin as well, to minimize the chances of any of my Lycra stuff snagging / pilling.
It's always such a petpeeve of mine when I see online photography of girls in Lycra...and then they have the girl seated on something like a tree or some industrial pallet and then I think to myself "Oh well...there goes another pair of silky Lycra leggings ruined and wasted 😣 ( c'mon, rough tree bark and splintered industrial wood, might as well rub the leggings on sandpaper).
