Frequently Asked Questions

We know, right? It’s partly because of the clever construction of our women's cargo shorts, partly because of the first-rate fabric blend and partly because it supports your body without feeling constricting. Plus, IT HAS A POCKET.

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 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.

The pocket is made of the exact same fabric as the shorts, and sewn in with a flat seam that sits flush against your body. No added bulk aside from the treasures you decide to stash in it.

Comfortable but not Opaque

I bought these in black 9" length. They are super soft and comfy. They don't feel like compression shorts at all, but a second skin. They don't ride up either, which is hard to find in shorts like this. I do love them, but they are not opaque as advertised. They do not pass a squat test. I would not feel comfortable wearing these in public without something over top.

Worth the money

I bought the cargo and the original cotton. I now wish I bought 2 cargo, the original cotton is worthless. These bad boys do what they're supposed to do. I haven't had to use the pocket so I'm not sure if a phone would weigh the shorts down or not but after 3 times in the washer/dryer and about 5 times wearing them, so far they are great 😃

Great customer service

My original order didn’t come with both the shorts I ordered. I contacted customer service and they resolved the issue right away. I like the shorts but they do roll. The pocket is nice!

Invisible

These are invisible under clothes, creating no lines. They are comfortable to wear all day and there is a pocket for your phone, brilliant!
