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.

I bought the smallest size but the shorts sagged some (5' 1", 102 lbs.) after wearing for a few minutes, but not too bad. The fabric is not as silky as I was expecting, but it is perfectly comfortable. The nude color works well for me as I am wearing it under light colored clothing. I bought these for the pocket which does hold an iPhone 16. A second pocket would be even better. Best of all, the 7" length provides great anti-chafing.

Comfortable!!!

Supportive without restrictions. The pocket is a game changer. I am 5’2” 135lbs and bought the medium. It is great.

Perf mix of comfy & coverage

I have a super sensitive stomach and can’t stand any waistbands digging in. Likewise I can’t stand when my underwear shows through. And I need sufficient coverage to keep my thighs from rubbing together. This accomplishes all 3!!

Summer essential

Got these for a trip to Disney, and wore them under some light flowy pants. Walked around for hours and hours in the heat. These really did the trick of keeping me cool and comfortable without any chafing or extra compression/sweating.

The Cargo - with pocket

Excellent product. Love the handy pocket. Very comfortable. A bit pricey for me though.
