One brand I really miss meeting with is N2N Bodywear. They used to have a suite in the Mandalay bay and I would go see all the new gear for the year. This is from February 2013. They are such a great company and some of my fav peeps to hang with in Vegas.
What is something that N2N Bodywear excels at? Sexy undies? sure but what else. Great designs? Yup, they excel at a lot but one thing that they really know how to make, in addition to those things, is an amazing pouch! One of the best is the N-Hance pouch! They just have released the new Performance Pouch Sport.
The new Performance Pouch sport is made for being active. This is because the pair has anti-microbial properties and moisture wicking fabric. Both of these are important for working out. On top of that, the colors are of a muted/heather tone that wouldn’t draw attention to yourself in the locker room.
Back to that pouch. If you are a big fan of the N-Hance this will be a must-have. The N-Hance pouch is one without straps. It takes what you got and puts it front and center. Add that plus the great support and you have an awesome pouch that any guy would love to wear.
The Performance Pouch Sport is available in three colors. They are Black, Red, and Blue.Like stated above it’s not a BRIGHT but more subdued color for the line. Sizing is Small through X-Large.
It’s been one of the coldest winters in a while, especially in Atlanta. When I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is have to go back out. It’s time to put on something warm and watch Netflix all night. One thing that is perfect for these nights is onesies. One of the super fun ones to wear in front of the fire is the Camo Onesie from N2N!
This style came out a few years ago and earlier this month we profiled the mesh onesie. Which I’m not sure will keep you warm wearing it along but it will keep you warm if you wear it with someone! The camo onesie I can picture a weekend in the mountains drinking hot chocolate.
You may be asking how comfy this pair would be? The mesh one you can pair with a thong, jock or bikini. The onsie has a seamless pouch that will give you support. You can wear it to lounge around in or under jeans out and about. The fabric is an 80% cotton 20% spandex blend. It will stretch and move with you throughout the day.
Over this past weekend. Andrew the man behind the brand, posted pics of him in the Onesie taking down his Christmas decorations on his deck, giving his neighbors a show. These were posted on his Instagram account. Which was awesome! I mean you gotta stand behind your product.
If you want more camo, make sure you check out the Camo Classic Bikini or thong! It’s the same fabric in some smaller cuts. Which N2N is known for making! They make amazing bikinis! Wear them under or on their own. Just rock the camo anytime you want!
When you think of sexy undies and gear, N2N Bodywear is one brand that comes to mind. They have turned sexy gear into an art form. Just when I think I have seen all N2N has to offer, Andrew breaks out something that makes me do a double take! The Sheer Onesie was a pair that did that. You can wear something under it or not. It all depends on your mood.
If you are familiar with their previous Onesie, it’s the same design but with a mesh white or black fabric. The design has a 3/4 sleeve and leg. This is not going to be a pair to keep warm in. You may get hot in it but for different reasons. Personally, I like the pics with a thong or jock under. Just something super sexy about that look to me.
This pair is great for a night in with someone special. But I wouldn’t bet on it being on for too long! It would be pretty awesome to wear this skiing and then take it off when you’re off the slopes for that romantic night. Just sayin’. This just reaffirms why I love N2N Bodywear! They are about making a guy feel amazing and comfortable in the gear he wears!
NOTE: we didn’t post the sheer with out anything under but you can see those at the N2N site.
If you are a fan of metallics and haven’t tried the Liquid Skins collection you are missing out! This collection started with a black then a bright silver. Now they have released the Blue Metalic. Just a note that if you’re like me, some of the XL maybe limited so go shop now or you will be kicking yourself for missing out on this!
The styles released are Liquid Skins collection. Bikini, Sports Brief, shorts, singlet, G, and pants. As I said before it was originally in black and had a rubber-like look. A few years back they released the same line in silver that was super hot. That went away before this year’s collection. The blue is a new and interesting fun new take on this line! Leave it to N2N Bodywear to do something out of the box and rocks it!
This year has been a bit of a what’s old is new again at N2N Bodywear. Meaning just when you think a pair or style is gone, BAM it’s right back in the catalog of amazing gear. That is what happened to the Cotton Sport Biker. It is one pair that I loved they had but was upset that it was removed.
CS6 – Cotton Sport Biker has returned in 3 new colors: Olive, White, and Charcoal. Each item consists of 90% Cotton / 10% Spandex. Sizing ranges from X-Small through X-Large.
This is a great pair for working out. One reason is the pocket on the side for your phone. Who doesn’t need a pocket when you work out so you don’t have to constantly keep putting your phone down. Second, it’s a classic style in work out wear. Bike shorts have been around since the 80’s and never seem to disappear from men’s activewear segment.
N2N has really pulled out all the stops this year. This anniversary year has been one with many surprises. Some old favorites have been reimagined and re-released. I normally know when things are coming and I had no clue many of these pairs were on the schedule. Andrew was right when he said that this will be a year of surprises. He did not disappoint.
We hope you will check out this pair and all the pairs from N2N Bodywear. We don’t think you will be disappointed in anything you buy. They are one of the favorite brands at UNB from all our guys.
This pair I haven’t seen on the N2N website as of yet. It will be on the site and at retailers soon! When it is released, we will update this post with links. We just wanted to let you know it’s coming! So stay tuned.
Are you a fan of boxer briefs? One pair that we think you need to check out is the Mojave Spring Boxer from N2N Bodywear. It has the awesome contoured pouch that N2N is known for
Today I thought I would profile something different. A pair of boxer briefs! It’s not every day we do that. I know most of our readers tend to go for smaller styles. However, N2N Bodywear makes some of the best boxer briefs on the market. This is the Mojave Spring boxer. Available in 3 colors that pop! Also, they know how to make a pouch work well in Boxer briefs. Retails for $23.00 on the N2N Site.
N2N Bodywear has their Lounge Brief back in stock. The Lounge collection is one of the most amazing lines N2N has on the market. It’s the perfect pair for a lazy weekend.
Camo is one of those trends that isn’t going away. Each collection more and more brand find new prints and designs of camo. N2N Bodywear is one of those brands. They have had camo before. One of my favorite swim briefs was camo with an orange waistband. I still have it and wear it! The new line is called the Presidio!
You maybe asking if this is swim or underwear. It took me a second to look and see. This is new swimwear in a bikini and thong. We had several people ask if N2N was going to come out with more swim thongs this year. Ask and you shall receive. The two pairs are made with the xtreme n-hance pouch. As you can see it puts all your goods on display and out front. It is also unlined. Unlined will potentially show off more. For some, this is a bonus but just know that going in. Made out of an 83% nylon / 17% spandex blend.
The bikini is truly a bikini cut. I don’t think we will have much argument in that from those out there! I wish this would have come out earlier in the year. But I can see many of you on winter trips or cruises sporting this pair. As for the thong, we are having more guys wanting to wear them. The guys wanting to wear them has risen exponentially over the last year.
These were just released this week! Get them while they are hot! Don’t wait till next year to buy them. Find them at the N2N Website
We hope you are having a great day by the pool or ocean! This is an amazing pic we took on our Swimwear Guide shoot this year. Taylor Campbell shot Chandler in N2N Bodywear jumping in the pool. Have an amazing Labor Day!
I love meeting up with N2N Bodywear at Magic. Unfortunately, they haven’t been at Magic the last few times. I always have a great time with them. This is from February 2013. It was great to see what they were coming out with!
These two guys are amazing to work with. Martin and Chandler. Our shoots are a lot of fun when we do a swimwear shoot. The boys are decked out in N2N Bodywear and taken by Taylor Campbell. Stay tuned for a new shoot
This year has seen a lot of releases from N2N Bodywear. It seems just when I think they can’t release anything else…BAM! Here is something new. The newest is the Mojave Spring collection. Which to me is super hot! It comes with a branded waistband, a great one for waistband fans. And in five styles and three different colors.
Let’s first talk about the styles. They are available in a jock, thong, bikini, bikini brief and a boxer. Most of our readers will the first four styles. However, we do have boxer brief fans who will love the boxer. I will say this about the boxers from N2N Bodywear, they fit amazing and they pay attention to the pouch.
Speaking of the pouch! It’s a contoured pouch. I was thinking it looked like the N-hance pouch but the official description says “contoured.” The N-hance pouch is my all time favorite pouch by N2N. Each of these pairs will give you amazing support through the pouch.
The waistband is amazing. I am a big waistband fan and love ones that look cool. This one definitely does. The N2N logo in the waistband really looks great reversed from the darker color of the stripes. Not everyone is a waistband fan, but if you are this is a pair for you!
The three colors are Green, Blue, and coral. Green is my favorite color and glad to see them making it in this line. One last thing is the fabric. It’s a 90% cotton 10% spandex blend. Meaning it will fit you very well and move through out the day. Making it a perfect pair for working out just hanging out around the house.
If you love this line. Click the links below for your favorite pair.
When you think of great men’s underwear. I would bet N2N Bodywear is one that is high on many of our reader’s list. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the brand. We get a chance to interview Andrew Makay on the last 20 years and what the future holds! We will link to other interviews we have done for a bit more history. We will try not to cover the things we have asked before.
We have interviewed you a few times Andrew. When you started the journey into the men’s underwear market did you picture you would be doing this 20 years later?
Haha…absolutely not…I decided to take a break from acting, having just come off the national tour of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”. Thought I’d take a stab at this gloried hobby of mine…well, the rest is history…haha
You are not only an icon in the gay market but also the straight underwear lover. Why do you think that both gay and straight have embraced the brand?
I have designed every pair of underwear off my body. If it’s not comfy…it doesn’t get made. If the fit is not right, it doesn’t get made. I don’t think it matters if you’re gay or straight..GUYS like underwear that fits well, is comfortable and flatters the male form.
Has this been the key to the success of N2N Bodywear?
I’d say yes. Also, the fact that I don’t jump on what’s hot or “the next best thing” …I design pretty organically. I get inspired and it gets designed.
One question I have meant to ask, how did you create the N-hance pouch? This has to be one of the top 5 pouches in men’s underwear. Did you know had something incredible when it was created? If not when did you know?
Again, since I designed everything off me, I created a pattern and style that made me look really good. Enhancing what I already had….showed me off better than anything I found at the time…I had a feeling the guys would like it too!
What have been the highlights over the last 20 years? What have been your best sellers? Best Models? Biggest celebrities wearing N2N?
I’d say one of the biggest highlights was a few years ago when Neil Patrick Harris said his favorite underwear at the time was N2N! That was in Vanity Fair…pretty awesome! I was the premier underwear brand for the grand opening of Cirque de Soleil’s first gay night at LIGHT nightclub in Las Vegas. That was spectacular! The fact that I had William Gutierrez AKA William Levy, biggest Latin soap opera star as a model was pretty darn cool. Along with him was Alan Ritchson, who went on to become a celebrity. To identify the most popular collections is easy as looking at the site and seeing what has been there for over 5 years…the NET COLLECTION and the CLASSIC COTTON COLLECTION are two that have been consistent in their sales and popularity.
The 2017 collection, you told me you would be releasing things through out the year. What can we expect out of this collection? What surprises do you have in store for die hard N2N Fans?
We have been doing a rollout of a collection this year to try something different. Keeps the website fresh. Very shortly an underwear collection will be released much to the pleasure of many fans. It is a take on a very popular and requested collection I discontinued a while ago. it is the Mohave Spring Collection. A slightly tweaked yet more colorful version of the older style.
Over the years you have been known for your prints, even before the recent trend in men’s underwear. Why do you use prints? How do you find such awesome prints?
I use prints because I get a little tired of solids, to be honest haha. There are so many different kinds of prints available, it’s nice to take a chance on them and get creative. I say take a chance because historically prints are a slower seller than the safe option of solids. I have fabric vendor that show me what new prints are in stock. Sometimes I will randomly find ones that I just have to use. I like when that happens…again, very organic and spontaneous.
Each year you come up with creative fun to wear styles in the erotic wear. Why is designing eroticwear so important to who N2N?
The erotic collection has always been a staple and an important part of N2n’s repertoire. I was always intrigued by the erotic fashions available but would never wear them myself. I designed items that I found sexy, that I would wear. Styles that could not be found…unique enough to garnish attention from even hardcore enthusiasts.
NOTE: Andrew is one of my all favorite people in the men’s underwear world. He has always supported UNB and everything we have done. I want to personally congratulate him for 20 years making amazing underwear and gear.
Wear your Stars and Stripes with pride this 4th of July. Wear the USA series from N2N Bodywear. This is the string bikini.
Model: Chandler
Photographer: Taylor Campbell.
It’s Swimwear Sunday! And the Sunday before the 4th of July in the States. I figured we needed something fun and patriotic. Who makes super fun swimwear? N2N Bodywear of course! One of the new lines is the USA line. It’s a set of swim briefs in patriotic prints. A mix of stars and stripes!
We could have chosen a smaller pair but we wanted one more guys would wear so we settled on the USA Sport. Which is a full sized brief. The pair is also in a bikini, string bikini and trunk. For those who want to dare to bare the String Bikini is for you. If you want to go bigger then go with the Trunk.
We mentioned that this is a full sized brief. The sides are 2.5 inches, which is bigger than most swim briefs. It’s perfect for the guy who wants to sport a brief but not show off everything. This pair also has a full back. In swimwear, most guys prefer a full back as opposed to a 3/4 or 1/2 back. To me it’s just more comfortable. On top of that it has a draw string to ensure it stays in place and won’t fall off coming out of the water. Lastly, it’s made out of a 83% nylon 17% spandex blend.
This pair is unlined as well. I don’t think you will show off everything due to this feature. Some pairs are super thin and leaves little to the imagination. During our swim guide shoot this pair didn’t show off everything of Martin’s. But, lined or unlined, is up to to the wearer as to what they are comfrotable wearing.
If you love this pair you can find it on the N2N Bodywear site. It retails for $36 but is on sale for the 4th of July sale. Note by the time you read this it could be off sale. Make sure you go to the N2N Bodywear site to see the entire USA collection.

We hope you enjoyed our 2017 Swimwear Guide! We have a ton more pics to share with you. Follow us on Instagram and watch the blog!
Lastly, we have something special planned for late summer for you guys! I can’t way what yet but you’re going to love it!
Have you been a fan of the N2N Bodywear Tri Tech shorts? Well, they are back! The shorts have been a fan favorite over the years. The new Tri Tech shorts are back and made out of Polyester/spandex blend. Which will make them super comfortable and easy to move around in.
The colors available in this line are blue and red. This retro fabric reminds me of their Vintage collection they had in underwear a few years ago. That was one of the most comfortable lines of underwear they ever created. The fabric was so freaking soft.
Why is this pair so popular? Because of the built-in scoop pouch and high leg splits. This allows you to have a wide range of movements. And the built-in scoop pouch allows you to wear without underwear. It’s perfect for running, working out or just hanging around the house.
The Tri Tech shorts retail for $36.00 and is available in sizes X-Small – X-Large.
Many readers have asked me to go more in-depth about what the best pairs of underwear to wear when working out are. I think there are a lot of great pairs that could benefit UNB readers, so I wanted to share a few more specific exercise scenarios and my recommendations for what underwear they require.
Yoga: Jack Adams MUV Sports Brief
I like yoga because it helps eliminate stress and improves my flexibility. For that reason, a pair that gives you a full range of motion is crucial. Jack Adams is another brand that specifically designs their pairs for athletes. Any brief from them is good for the purpose of motion, but I love the MUV line because of the support and the mesh panel over the pubic area that help keep you feeling fresh. It’s made with 95% cotton and 5% elastane, which I think is good for yoga because it’s especially comfortable. The roomy pouch and the aforementioned mesh panel are absolutely perfect. The Jack Adams MUV Sports Brief retails for $33.00
Running: Pump! Touchdown Boxer Panther
This is one of my all time favorite pairs of underwear, and definitely, my go to for when I go running. For that reason, I doubly recommend it because you can wear it as everyday underwear and as a workout pair. It’s somewhere between a boxer brief and a trunk, which I personally think you can’t go wrong with. The construction and material are simply perfect, with legs that don’t ride up, a sporty mesh and cotton blend, and a double-lined pouch. I especially like how the pair is stretchy, yet has that form-fitting compression feel. Plus, importantly for running, it moisture wicks. The Pump! Touchdown Boxer Panter retails for $33.00
Swimming: N2N Bodywear Condor Sport Swim Brief
I can’t get enough of N2N underwear, and when I decided to try their swimwear, I was just as enamored. Some of their skimpier bikini pairs wouldn’t be great for swimming laps, but this pair hits the sweet spot in terms of sleekness. I like how there is no drawcord, liner, or seams in the pouch on this pair. The fabric is quick-drying, lightweight, and true to fit, so pretty much the gold standard of swim briefs. The signature pouch offers great lift, support, and enhancement, which I personally like because it avoids any cold water package embarrassment. The N2N Bodywear Condor Sport Swim Brief retails for $30.00
I wanted to do something special for a brand that has been around 20 years. I asked the real guys who love the brand to tell us why they love N2N Bodywear. We had a few answer and a few of our staff members.
“I love my N2N gear. Over the years I have bought many items. Not one or two, not ten or more, but dozens! My collection includes swimbriefs, jammers and running tights. What appeals to me about N2N gear is the styling, the fabrics and the colors. The styling is bold. The stretchy fabrics are really comfortable. The colors are loud. Not for the shy, but at the beach, gym or at home wearing N2N gear works for my lifestyle.” – @speedostudtx
“I’ve bought a range of different underwear from N2N. From briefs to tanga to jockstraps to g-stings. They’re all well made and fit well. I also enjoy that the brand also covers everything from the basics to the unusual. I always feel a bit sexier and naughtier when I’m wearing their stuff “ – @check_two
“N2NBodywear was the gateway to my Lycra and bulge fetish. I don’t remember how it started. Maybe with a catalog. But in 2006 I ordered a few swimsuits and a singlet. Pulling on that shiny smooth Lycra the first time was like finding a second skin . I’ve been a loyal customer for years, most of my swimsuits are N2N and I look forward to it every season.I just need them to make more of the Titan line!” – @sixfootfiveguy“
“The first thong I ever bought was a black mesh g-string from N2N. The person who sold it to me said it N2N underwear was both comfortable and affordable. Since that first g-string I have owned dozens of pairs of g-strings, thongs, bikinis and swimwear. I have owned every pair in their cotton line and the cotton thongs are daily wears for me.
Their gear’s fabric is usually thin, which not only makes it comfortable, but also shows off really well. I have a few N2N thongs that I love wearing to the beach and to the pool. I also have a pair of lounge pants that are very comfortable and leave little the imagination. So thank you N2N for making great fitting and fun underwear.” @bithongguy
“N2N has been one of my favorite brands since I first discovered it. I always thought of their products as something a jet-set millionaire playboy would wear. Additionally, N2N helped me get into thongs. I found, as a straight guy, the thongs from the Tropic Line so sexy that I just had to have one. It wasn’t my first thong, but it helped me to see the sex appeal that can only come from a thong. That alone makes the Tropic line my favorite N2N line over the years. You never forget your first pair you fall in love with.” @underweardude
Today we are shooting our Swimwear Guide for 2017. In fact we probably are half way through the shoot when this posts! We have some great brands including N2N Bodywear, featured here.
We have a blast from the past for you guys. Do you remember the Raider Singlet from N2N Bodywear? This was a singlet we covered back in April of 2011! The Raider was a mesh that came in a few different colors but the Pink was one that I remember most. Maybe this line will make a comeback this year! Time will tell
