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.

Better than expected

These are worth the price. I was worried these would be like bulky bike shorts. They were not. They don’t move. They breathe. And all topped with great customer service. I got a run in mine. They sent a replacement no hassle .

Favorite running shorts

These are the only shorts I will wear to run in these days - extremely comfortable, completely opaque, useful pocket, no seams for chafing, and no need to wear underwear underneath. PLEASE consider making these in a legging length like is offered for the cooling. Then my winter run outfits would be sorted too!

I love these - and they have an unexpected benefit for a medical condition

I have a disorder that makes my skin extremely sensitive to pressure, so that even apparently smooth cloth can really irritate it and it can become quite sore. Wrinkles in the sheets are a case in point. Wearing these shorts, which are smooth and soft but also have a little thickness to them, provides a little protection against other materials I may be sitting on. So not only are they great for yoga or walking around, they make sitting less painful, too.
