FAQs

We don’t just add more fabric to make our shorts “fit” — we take proportions into account. That’s why we’ve worked with a curvy fit model to ensure our plus sizes are designed for real plus-size bodies, with the right fit in all the right places. It’s about more than just size; it’s about understanding curves. With this thoughtful approach, we focus on the waist, hip, thighs and rise to make sure the fit is comfortable. Whether you’re a size 14 or 26, our shorts are made to fit your shape without compromising fit.

They're both! 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 offer light smoothing with no visible panty lines. 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 shorties don’t compress you or suck you in like shapewear. Instead, they’re a lightly smoothing, breathable, sweat-wicking essential you’ll reach for again and again. If you run hot — or are one of those people who’s constantly setting the thermostat to “meat locker” temperature — The Cooling shorts are going to be a revelation. You can even sleep in them (said no one ever about shapewear).

Our waistband is soft, stretchy and made to fit your curves without digging in. Designed to stay in place without rolling down, it’s like a hug for your waist — not a squeeze. Say goodbye to uncomfortable waistbands that pinch or dig, and hello to a smooth, seamless fit that moves with you.

They’re made of hi-tech fabric that lowers the body temperature. (If you want to get geeky about it, the flat cross-section of the yarn offers a wide surface area that quickly releases body heat from your skin.) The yarn texturizing process gives the shorts incredible breathability; the finished ultra-thin fabric is a breeze to wear, literally.

Chafing occurs for many reasons, but there are two main ones: friction and moisture. Your legs rubbing together, combined with sweating, can cause a burning sensation between your legs. Our shorts provide a smooth, silky layer between your legs so your thighs can glide against each other without painful friction. Our shorts also help wick sweat, keeping your legs dry instead of sticking together.

“These are a game changer. As a thick-thighed girly with a skin condition that causes painful bumps when there’s friction, these have been so nice to wear. A million percent recommend and will be buying more.”

“Love how these fit, feel and perform! They’re soft, breathable and definitely not shapewear! I have thick thighs, but after a full 10-hour day, there had been no slippage.”

— Taryn S.

“I rarely wear dresses because of my thighs rubbing together but this product has saved me! It fits nicely, does not bind, the legs stay out and do not roll up. This product should be in every plus size store”

— Becky S.

“I recently purchased two pairs in size XL/XXL and I absolutely love them! Unlike other brands I've tried, the waist actually stays up and the legs stay down (NO ROLLING!!) all day long. Well worth the money.”

— Karen L.

“I've tried other brands but they ride up at the thighs and you chafe again. These are the perfect thickness, the perfect material, they’re comfy and they WORK.”
