Frequently Asked Questions

Our shorts are made of a mix of Pima—the champagne of cottons, which is extra-soft and extra-durable—and modal, a natural fiber that's resistant to shrinkage and pilling. Together, they create a texture that’s as luxurious and velvety as a Sade song.

We’re glad you asked. Think of them as a combination between an old-school slip, a boxer brief and a bike short: They give you coverage under short or too-sheer outfits, stop your inner thighs from trying to start a forest fire, and light smoothing with no VPL (the word “panties” weirds us out, too). Plus, the knit-in cotton-rich crotch means you can wear them without underwear if you want, eliminating the need for an extra layer.

Thigh Society shorts don’t compress you or suck you in like shapewear. Instead, they’re a lightweight, breathable, sweat-wicking essential you’ll reach for again and again.

Flexible and stretchy, our waistband is made from the same fabric as the shorts, just double-folded and sewn-in. It stretches to your curves, never cuts into them. The waistband is like the Loch Ness Monster: you’ll doubt it really exists.

Actually cooling

I was skeptical about buying these, as they're obviously more expensive than average bike shorts, but they have exceeded my expectations. They are actually cooling - to the point that if it's hot in my apartment, I'll wear these instead of just sitting in my undies, as they are actually cooling! I find they don't ride up either, and stay pretty well at the waist. I'm a huge convert and adore how they feel.

Rides up my legs

I love the feel of them BUT they do not stay in position on my legs. Usually after I walk around a little, they are now panties rolled up to my leg joints. I have to constantly pull the legs back down where they belong. Very disappointing because I wear dresses almost everyday to work.

Fine for short skirts

I do like that these are light fabric and very stretchy. They are short as well so work well with mini skirts. I don’t like that even though they are stretchy, the bottoms of the shorts slightly cut in to my thighs and roll up when I walk so I have to pull them down- not too much problem in a short skirt but would not be possible in anything else. If they weren’t undergarments, I would have returned them.

Exactly what I need!

I am tall and like to wear skirts/dresses a lot, but if I'm sweaty at all or in and out of a pool, my thighs rub together and create very painful chaffing. These are so lightweight and cute even if they peek out a little. I wore them all 3 days at a festival and loved them. They ride up slightly, but only a few times throughout the day. The only downside about these short is that they are so expensive. I would buy a million more pairs if they were like in the $15-20 range. They should make patterns next!
