C-IN2 believes in freedom of choice when it comes to underwear. For those who look beyond the typical fly front brief, C-IN2 offers unique cuts, quality fabrics, fun prints and innovative technologies. The co-founder/designer, Gregory Sovell, is called their "resident genius" for good reason. He is engaged in regular competition with himself to evolve past his own groundbreaking styles. Greg searches the earth for the best fabrics and leading edge technologies to create a line of products that give men the freedom to be sexy. He has created such signature items as the Trophy Shelf, the Contour Pouch and Sling Support. He was one of the original designers to implement the use of unconventional fabrics like Bamboo and Kinetic. Every piece in the C-IN2 line is an original and every piece caters to a unique man.

Another thing that makes the company so impressive is that the constant evolution of their product line is propelled purely by necessity rather than whimsy. Co-founder Jason Zambuto says they never bring new products to the market just to be different, but instead they bring new products to market because they've found ways to improve on their original designs. It's exactly this commitment to quality that makes C-IN2 a leader in men's underwear. C-IN2 offers something for every different man that allows him to feel and look his best.

In the world of style, Natori is synonymous with femininity, luxury and fashion. From the company's inception in 1977, Josie Natori has always possessed the eye of an innovator and the courage to follow through with her design visions. She began by selling airy cotton nightshirts adorned with hand-worked embroidery from the Philippines, where she was from. Instantly, the public took to the combination of Filipino master workmanship and delicate, chic styles. After that, lingerie and daywear were added to the collection.

The Josie Natori Collection is characterized by luxury fabrics and modern cuts, designed for lifestyle wear. These versatile pieces embody the fashionable, innovative spirit of Natori.

Barely There®

Barely There® intimates creates bras, panties and shapewear that won't wrinkle or ruffle under clothing and are seam-free, line-free and tag-free. They believe the best lingerie a woman can wear is the kind that she almost doesn't even notice, that makes her feel perfectly comfortable. That means no binding waistbands or digging leg bands on the panties. It means ultra-soft luxury fabrications. It means smooth, ergonomic bra shapes that won't ride up or pull and underwires with flexible construction that are cushioned to eliminate binding and pinching. Lace is backed with microfiber to eliminate itchiness. Hooks and eyes are rounded so they don't irritate the skin.

Barely There® started in 1995 with just a collection of seamless panties, designed both for ultimate comfort and for eliminating panty lines. They were a success on both accounts! Made from an unbelievably soft microfiber and innovative flat stitching, these panties were smoother and more comfortable than any panty on the market. It only took a few years to realize that women wanted coordinated bras and shapewear to go with the incredible panties Barely There® had created. In 2000, their full line was born. The company is one of the fastest growing brands in America for intimate apparel and they continue to offer women solutions for invisible comfort.
