Hey undies lovers, today I’ll be reviewing the Fluorescence Latin Brief (5252) by the Clever brand (furnished by Candyman Fashion). Now, I have been buying allll sorts of underwear for many years now. I have been reviewing for quite a few of those years. Usually, before I try on a pair, I can feel the pouch and just by seeing it, I can predetermine if I’m gonna love it or not. I’ll explain more of the why later. This pair of briefs was on my Level 2 on the Pouch Awesomeness radar before I even put them on.
First things first, the color is my power color, a deep teal-ly blue. The waistband name, seam piping, and thread are all a bright neon citron. The brief also comes in a sexy red color. The waistband is a nice wide 1 ½” waistband, which sits nicely just above the hips.
The fabric is a rich 85% Nylon/15% Spandex microfiber blend which gives it that smooth hand. Besides the fabrics, my two favorite aspects are the butt coverage, and the pouch. I love sexy cut briefs like nobody’s business. Some of the time (not this time), if the pouch is super sexy. The butt is not cut big enough to actually hold the butt. But it isn’t small enough to be considered a tanga or thong. It’s just NOT a whole butt…I just want my butt to not feel like it has awkward side butt. Well, this brief is the perfect butt coverage. Not so baggy that fabric gets sucked into the crack vortex. Not so skimpy that you feel like stretching it back over your butt multiple times during the day.
Now, early I said this pair rated a Level 2 on my pouch awesomeness radar. That’s quite a good rating. The only thing that would have elevated this pouch to my Level 1 is if the seam under the balls defined the pouch more so it was lifted forward. That is all. I really do love this pouch. It’s comfortable, stretchy enough to make room. Nice front AND profile visibility of the prizes beneath…
This is going in my go-to undies pile for sure. I love the color, the fit, and especially the butt. At $25, it’s a great pair of undies for what you are paying for. I am so happy with the fit of the butt, I am posting my first ever undies selfie (well first ever posted on an underwear blog heehee). Here ya go world:

Clever 5254 Neon Tree Brief furnished by Candyman Fashion
Rating: 9/10
Daily Fit: 9/10
Sizing: 9/10
Construction: 9/10
Daily Performance: 9/10
Pros: Super fun, bright colors, multiple neon colors and fabric styles, comfy and durable.
Cons: Just a tiny bit tight on the underside.
Beau Briefs recommendation: These are fun, flirty pair of briefs that will make a bit summer hit.
Neon, aren’t we all over neon? Nope! This was a super fun, flirty pair of multi-neon colored brief and I thought that they were a hoot! Maybe even two hoots.
The Clever 5254 Neon Tree Briefs are very well constructed and have super flattering lines, with no seams running right across your bum. Often with multiple fabrics there can be some slightly unflattering lines that distract from the overall look but with the layered effect this is not the case. The blue neon is the dominant color and is also a very soft feeling, which every bum enjoys.
The transition of colors is also very pleasing, see below:
The neon yellow acts as a great bridge between the two stronger colors and creates the lovely layer we love!
The pouch is also comfy and well-constructed. At no time during the day did anything get out of sorts or into positions it shouldn’t be. Everything stayed in its parking spot and was very comfortable. Of course the fabric is flexible, as any quality underwear should be, but not too flexible or thin to create too much “wiggle room” shall we say. The neon also helped highlight and showcase the goods which we all know is never a bad thing.
Now I mentioned that there were times when the underside felt a tiny bit tight but I have to say that that is probably much more to do with how I fit into the underwear and not the overall or general fit. Sometimes with my body if underwear has district pipping it can cause a tiny bit of pinching underneath, if you catch my drift. However it was minor and did not take away from my impression of the pair.
So cheer yourself up, brighten your day, and go Neon tree crazy!

Hey undie nerds, Undies Rock here with another review. Those of you that have been following my posts know that I am a huge fan of swim briefs. Or as I refer to them as “swimmers.” Which is why I am stoked to review Clever’s Tropical Colombia swim brief in white (0605). Furnished by Candyman Fashion.
First off, this pair will meet your expectations for everything a swim brief should be. It’s a solid pair of swim briefs. The construction and material are quality. The material is comfortable, and the cut and print are cool. I have to be honest, for the longest time I haven’t been a fan of Clever. Due to bad experiences I have had with their thongs. Though their thongs are constructed well, as all Clever products are. I find them to be uncomfortable. Specifically the trim is made of a rough material that tends to be abrasive on my skin. Let me put it this way, you don’t want to be wearing one during a long work day. But these swimmers have changed my perspective on Clever. They are highly comfortable for both lounging and water activities. I took a dip in the ocean with this pair and it did not lose its form and dried quickly. Which I was worried about since the front and back are fully lined (which just reiterates the quality of construction).
The cut is conservative with full butt coverage and mid-rise but remains stylish and fun with its colorful, tropical print. I am usually not into this cut/style of swim brief, but these ones worked out quite well for me. I’m a in the 32-42 inch waist category and I wore a large which is rated for a 32-34inch waist. The suit fit snug and felt true to size, without any unfortunate tight or loose areas. The sides are 3.5 inches with a 1 inch white waist band. The pouch is comfy, my package fit like glove, but I could see for bigger guys that it might be uncomfortable. One aesthetic of the pouch that I found unappealing is the center seam. Always gets me lol. The 85% polyester 15% spandex material feels soft and luxurious. I wore these briefs for a majority of a day without any discomfort. The elastic drawstring is thin and has metal medallions on the ends which is a cool feature. But can be annoying when tying a knot. Also the drawstring ports are reinforced with metal rings. Which are more durable than sewn edges. But can get hot and burn when sunbathing. I feel like I am dragging on with my aversions, but I actually really like this pair. It doesn’t blow my mind, but I definitely approve.
Pros:
– Fully lined
– High quality material (soft and malleable; doesn’t lose elasticity)
– Well built
– Comfortable and supportive enough for lounging and activities
Cons:
– Center seam
– Medallions on drawstring
Ratings:
- Fit –8
- Sizing – 9
- Construction – 9
- Styling – 7
- Performance – 9
- Overall -8.4

Hello folks, today I’m reviewing a new pair by one of my favorite companies, Clever. It was furnished by Candyman Fashion. One of their new designs coming out is the Original Sin Boxer (2255). I received the “Black” pair that has Teal as the Accent Front color with Black as the background. The other option available for the Original Sin is the “Red” pair with a Gunmetal as the Accent Front Color.
The main body of the boxer is a 94% cotton/6% elastane. Though the main body of the fabric is a cotton blend, which is usually not my favorite, this blend is nice and smooth. The front of the boxer is a synthetic mesh that isn’t see through. But definitely shows off details very nicely. The front pouch is contoured out and gives nice room for your kit. The background fabric meets the front at the side seams. Then travels almost to the front on the inner thigh. The thread color matches the front fabric, so on all front seams, it blends in. While the back seam goes down the middle of your butt and Y’s out down the legs as a contrast.
The two main things I really love about this boxer are the mesh fabric in front. The subtle design choice that really makes this boxer pop. The mesh in front is a really nice tiny hole mesh fabric. That is lightweight and definitely breathable (great for working out in). The design choice I love is that the contract back fabric wraps around towards the front by the pouch. This makes your pouch “hang” in front of a contrast backdrop. Which really amplifies the visual from the front (which is wear a lot of pouches read as flatter).
On a less happy note, the leg bands of this boxer don’t have a lot of structure to them. So it’s really easy for them to ride up your leg (which is the main reason I end wearing mostly briefs). But it’s not bad enough that I was constantly pulling it down, it was just something I noticed.
I really do like this boxer, and will add it to my drawer of boxers I actually will wear regularly.
PROS:
-Sexy pouch visual.
-Breathable mesh fabric.
-Attractive butt seams.
CONS:
-Legs ride up.
RATINGS:
- Daily Fit – 7.5
- Sizing – 9
- Construction/Materials –8
- Styling – 8
- Daily Performance – 7
- OVERALL – 7.9
This pair was furnished for review by Clever. It comes in Black/Teal, and Red/Gunmetal. It goes for $23 on the Candyman Fashion

SALVATORE Recommendation: CandyMan Fashion contacted UNB Tim a while ago and asked the team to review CLEVER’s Spring line. Because the entire team loves undies, he agreed and sent out pairs for review. I recently wrote a post about mesh underwear, how to select great pairs, and what types of mesh to wear for different occasions.
I was elated when the pair selected for me to review was the MESH Flowery Touch Cheeky Brief! The mesh was not the only reason I got excited as I tore open the mailer. There were two other reasons: 1.) This brief has an awesome pattern (super manly) and 2.) It has an anatomical pouch. This brief is truly the collision of three utopic components to the perfect pair of underwear: MESH, PATTERN (instead of plain color), and ANATOMICAL POUCH! Perfection at its finest!
Mesh is so tricky in men’s underwear. There is the super wide hole mesh that is more for fetish wear (totally not me, but check out TTHEAMAZING’s Fetish Friday Column. I’m sure he will work in mesh at some point). Then there is the pragmatic mesh that can be worn for a myriad of event types. This brief is definitely practical in the mesh category. I wore the pair on three different occassions:
- All day in jeans: I made it through the day wearing the brief under jeans. Mesh is hard to wear under jeans because the glans penis (head or tip of the penis) has very sensitive nerve endings that often poke through the mesh and rub on the denim. Not always uncomfortable—sometimes stimulating and often times irritating. This didn’t begin to bother until around dinnertime. I equate this to great construction and careful design implementation seen in CLEVER’s delivery of quality underwear.
- To bed: What can I say? I felt sexy sleeping in mesh and even sexier knowing that I was wearing a very awesome pattern. I had no issues whatsoever feeling constricted in the crotch throughout the night. Very very good experience.
- At the gym during workout: I’d say that this is the bread and butter of this brief. The fact that the mesh is cool and breezy and the anatomical pouch is very supporting allowed me to have free range of motion in a very well constructed brief.
I’m definitely a pouch snob. Read this and you’ll understand why. My underwear collection is almost exclusively ergonomical in pouch nature. I’ve never worn CLEVER before. This made me nervous about whether the pouch on this brief would actually turn out to be anatomical. The first thing I did when I slipped them on was take notice of the inner sewn elastic that separates the body of the brief from the pouch. I relaxed and realized that CLEVER had me in mind when they made this brief.
The construction on the brief is top notch. The pattern is super man-sexy. There is a center line going up the butt area to give you an added lift. An incredibly soft metallic gold waistband accentuates the design. The sizing was spot on for what was advertised. What else can a man ask for? NOTHING!
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX RECOMMENDATION: My wife actually came up with the idea that this brief could be worn as a swim brief if you got in a bind. The great pattern is not completely transparent and leaves enough to the imagination to make most people salivate. The lightweight mesh dries very quickly when wet and the overall construction is solid. We’re moving to Hawaii in the next couple of months. Who knows, maybe I’ll wear them surfing some day soon.

New Prints – Beau Briefs
Clever is bringing the underwear world a way to spice up a traditional underwear drawer with their new line of boxers and briefs. Done in large, eye catching prints. Reminiscent of prints traditionally found in lines done by Pull-In or Freegun. These prints put a spin on their traditionally transparent and more risqué classics. The prints run the fauna gamut from Exotic Parrot to Natural snake with a flora span from wheat spikes to flowery touch. One commonality is the hue, the collection plays mostly with cool colors.
The line also gives choices in briefs and boxers with some prints coming in the Cheeky brief for those wanting a shapelier bulge. For folks who like a shapely pouch the Wild Spikes and the Wheat Spikes…hmmm spikes… might just be your best bet. For others who prefer a more conservative bulge the Toucan Mania or Exotic Parrot might have you seeing love birds. Any way you slice it these prints are a bit wild, a bit wacky and a big part of Clever’s new release.
New Thongs – Underwear Dude
There are two new thongs, each with Clever’s distinctive back. Which carries the front material all the way up and over the waistband. The first, called Burning Desire, comes in two color combinations: Gray and Green.
Grey has a nice understated purple pouch and back, with a black waistband and metallic/ silver lettering. The Green pair also comes in, you guessed it, a nice light green, just in time for spring. Combined with a gold on gold logo waistband, you have one bright and jazzy pair!
The other new thong, named Forbidden desire, is a little bit different. It’s all about stripes! Rather than the usual clever waistband with the name in big letters. Tt is instead much smaller as the waistband is split up into several different colored stripes. The pouch is also striped, forming a nice v- pattern in the front which rotates to horizontal on the back. This design also comes in two colors, green,and grape. Green has a dark green and black body, with a colorful green, tan, and gold waistband. Grape has two different shades of purple comprising its body, with a red blue and white waistband.

If you have read any of my past reviews (I know it has been a while). You will know that I am a sucker for a great pair of colorful undies. Something that makes you feel sexy and not defiantly not a afraid to show off. As I was browsing the new collection by Clever these were a pair that I just had to have. They are bright fun and being from Clever, I knew they would be super comfy.
I had the opportunity to review the Clever Sauris Boxer in the coral color, size medium. I have to say that clever delivered and then some with these. When I first saw these online I was instantly attracted to the bright coral color with contrasting blue and green waistband. So before they even came I had pretty high expectations. These came with a few other pairs that I got to review, but I was instantly drawn to these. When I first opened the package I noticed that not only are these bright in color. But they have almost a mesh like fabric which gives it that little extra punch of sexy. I have tried mesh undies before and haven’t always been a fan, but the fabric was very soft and very stretchy. The waistband is you standard 1.5 inch and is blue in color with the Clever logo in bright green. They have a thin blue piping around the front pouch and everything is topped off with a bright green stitching.
I have worn these a couple times already and they have defiantly moved to my “favorite undies” side of my underwear drawer. They are great to wear all day and for pretty much anything that I can think of. They held up great for me at the gym and were great to wear to work. The fabric is very flexible and moves with you no matter what you are doing. The front pouch is very roomy and didn’t feel like it was crowding my package at all. I also thought that these did a great job of showing off my butt.
The only concern that I might have with these undies is the fabric. I love everything about it, but it feels very thin and I am not sure how long it will hold up. I have washed these multiple times already and so far the fabric has held up, so I hope it continues that way.
PROS:
- Bright and fun Coloring
- Comfortable to wear all day
- Excellent support both in the front and the back
CONS:
- Thin fabric that might wear out.
Ratings:
- Daily Fit – 10
- Sizing – 10
- Construction/Material – 9
- Styling – 10
- Dailey Performance – 10
- OVERALL – 9.8
This pair was furnished for review by Macondo Trading. These come in both Coral and Blue and can be found at Candyman Fashion for $26.68.
We all want underwear that few other people have in their collection. When a limited edition pair comes along its snapped up fast! Clever has one of those pairs right now and the best part it’s under $15. This is an amazing deal since so many limited edition pairs are at a higher price point.
This pair has a classic look that Clever is known for. The black banded waistband compliments the blue/black striped fabric. The pouch has the stripes forming a chevron pattern with black trim. Its a limited edition pair you could wear daily. It’s not wild and too crazy.
Let’s face it if you’re wearing UNB you love stuff that is different. How often can you say that you have a pair very few people have in their underwear drawers! This is one that you can have at super low price. Under $15 on a regular pair is a great deal but on a limited edition pair is a no brainer!
The Limited Edition Brief and Boxer are on sale until the stock is sold out! The two specific pairs on sale are the 5248 for the brief and 2248 for the boxer. How do you get this pair for the great price? You have to use code CleverLimited at Clevermoda.us site.
