Frequently Asked Questions

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

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.

Perfect for summer!

I love wearing these under my skirts for summer or on their own around the house. I love the pockets for keeping my phone nearby. Good quality and holds up after many washes.

My waist is 34" and hips are 42" and the S/M fits well.

Great pair of shorts!

I bought these to wear under a dress for a wedding to prevent chaffing and to provide a pocket since my dress didn't have them. They were comfortable and cool. They stayed in place and didn't ride up and the band didn't roll. I wish the pocket on the side was just slighty larger to make it easier to pull a phone in an out.

Great under a dress without pockets!

If you have a dress or dresses that have slits up the sides but don’t have pockets, you need to get these shorts! I wear them under these dresses and slip my phone, a tissue, and my chapstick in the pocket and don’t need to have a crossbody bag conflict with my dress. These are super comfortable!
