Looking for comfort, style and a solution for chafing? You’re in the right place. Thigh Society makes cozy, buttery-soft shorts that prevent thigh irritation and work for almost every occasion. Designed with inclusivity and practicality in mind, our shorties elevate your everyday wardrobe, making them something you’ll reach for again and again. With five distinct styles — The Cooling, The Staple, The Cotton, The Original and The Cargo — we make the perfect pair for every body and every moment.
This guide breaks down the fabric composition, key benefits and care instructions for each style to help you find your ideal match.
1. The Cooling: Ultra Lightweight and Breezy
Let’s start with what might be Thigh Society’s most raved-about product: our Cooling shorts. Designed for hot, humid days when you just want to feel fresh and dry, these shorties feature Sensil® Breeze nylon — a yarn engineered to deliver a cooling effect by actively lowering your body temperature as you move.
The Cooling Fabric Breakdown:
• 78% Sensil® Breeze nylon
• 20% elastane
• 2% cotton
Soft, sleek and nearly invisible under clothing, these shorties help prevent the dreaded thigh chafing many people experience while wearing dresses and skirts. They’re also moisture-wicking — so butt sweat, swamp ass or swass (however you name it) doesn’t occur in our Cooling shorties, it’s all comfort.
Best For:
• Hot and humid weather
• Cold-weather layering without overheating
• Travel and exploring new destinations without chafing
• Layering under dresses, skirts and pants
• When you want that VPL look under delicate materials
2. The Staple: Your Everyday Lightweight Essential
Love the feel and benefits of The Cooling but want a little more coverage? ? The Staple is your answer. Made with the same Sensil® Breeze yarn, these shorties have the same stretch, comfort and cooling properties, but with a touch more thickness for those who prefer something less sheer.
Fabric Breakdown:
• 74% Sensil® Breeze nylon
• 13% nylon
• 12% elastane
• 1% cotton
With their buttery-soft feel and semi-sheer look, The Staple shorts are perfect for everyday wear under any outfit — whether you’re lounging at home, heading to work or running errands.
Best For:
• Under dresses or skirts when you want more coverage
• Layering when indoor temps fluctuate
• Low-impact activity, like at-home yoga or stretching
• Under sweatpants or on their own for lounging around the house
• Light smoothing under trousers
3. The Cotton: Natural Comfort for Sensitive Skin
Prefer natural fibers? Our Cotton shorts are made with high-quality Pima cotton and modal, giving them a luxurious, lived-in feel of your favorite worn-in tee — gentle on the skin, breathable and endlessly comfortable.
Fabric Breakdown:
• 38% Pima cotton
• 38% modal
• 16% nylon
• 8% spandex
Pima cotton offers lasting softness and durability, while modal adds lush smoothness and breathability. Nylon and spandex give just the right amount of stretch, so these shorties move with you and stay put — no bunching, no riding up.
Best For:
• Sensitive skin that does best with cotton throughout
• Staying cozy in cooler weather
• Lounging, napping and slow Sundays
• Laying under looser outfits or at-home wear
4. The Original: Classic Comfort with Coverage
Looking for an everyday short that does it all? The Original offers the perfect balance of breathability, stretch and coverage — ideal for anyone who wants a reliable base layer or just a great pair of classic, non-compressive bike shorts. Whether you’re layering under skirts for windy commutes, teaching a classroom full of kids or just running errands and don’t want to worry about flashing your neighbors, The Original has you covered.
Fabric Breakdown:
50% Sensil® Breeze nylon
37% nylon
12% elastane
1% cotton
What makes these stand out? The Original is made with Sensil® Breeze nylon, the same cooling yarn used in our Cooling shorts. That means they’re designed to help regulate body temperature, keeping you feeling fresh even on hot or busy days..
Plus, when worn as outerwear (which many people do), you’ll get extra peace of mind: all of our shorties, including The Original, are rated UPF 50, which is the highest possible sun protection for clothing.
Best For:
• Wearing solo like classic bike shorts (but way comfier)
• Layering under skirts and dresses for added coverage
• Days with lots of sitting, bending or movement
• Staying cool and sun-protected outdoors
5. The Cargo: Utility Meets Comfort with Coverage
Our Cargo shorts combine everything you love about Thigh Society — soft, stretchy, breathable, anti-chafe comfort — with the game-changing bonus of a pocket. Whether you’re out for a walk, running errands or heading to a festival, these are the perfect hands-free solution when you don’t want to carry a bag.
Fabric Breakdown:
50% Sensil® Breeze nylon
37% nylon
12% elastane
1% cotton
Just like The Original shorts, these practical wonders are made with the same body-cooling Sensil® Breeze fabric and features UPF 50 protection. The real standout though? The pocket. Thoughtfully placed and designed not to bulk or bunch, it gives you just enough space to stash your phone, card, lip gloss, cash or keys — no bag required.
Best For:
• Hands-free days out (think: hot girl walks, errands, concerts)
• Layering under dresses or skirts when you want a pocket
• Outdoor adventures with added sun protection
• Staying cool and comfortable on the move
• Keeping your essentials safe while traveling
Length Options: Because One Size Doesn’t Fit All
One of the reasons people keep coming back to Thigh Society? Options. Most of our styles come in 5", 7", and 9" inseams, so you can pick the coverage that works best for your body, outfit and comfort level. For even more length, our Cooling fabric comes in extended styles — including shorties with a 12” inseam and sheer Cooling leggings in 17” and 21” lengths for below-the-knee and mid-calf coverage.
Whether you’re after something short and subtle or longer for more coverage, we’ve got a length that fits your life.
Why Fabric (and Fit) Matter So Much at Thigh Society
We obsess over fabric and fit — and it shows. Every pair of our shorties is made with premium yarns and seamless knitting technology that deliver stretch, durability and precision-sized comfort. Our use of Sensil® Breeze helps cool your body down, while cotton and modal soothe your skin. And thanks to high-quality spandex/elastane, our shorties move with you without ever losing their shape throughout the day, over time or after many repeated wears. Our commitment to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification also guarantees that every component is free from harmful substances because your comfort shouldn't come at the expense of your health.
Our shorts and sheer leggings aren’t just made to prevent chafing — they’re made to elevate your everyday life. Whether you need cooling fabrics for hot days, natural fibers for sensitive skin or longer styles for more coverage, there’s a pair that has your name on it.
And the cherry on top? They’re machine washable, dryer friendly and built to last. Just throw them in cold and tumble dry low. Easy.
