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 can wear them under a summer dress, for cycling, working out and hiking! Love the little pocket.

I need to buy more!

Honestly I accidently bought these thinking I was purchasing from another company I have bought from in the past. Got a little worried until they arrived and WOW! They are sooooo comfortable! Not at all hot and stay perfectly in place. They fit great too. I am wearing a different brand today while these are in the wash and they don't even compare at all! Must get more of these!

Does the job beautifully!

This is my third or fourth pair of thighsociety shorts, and like the rest of them, it works to prevent chaffing. The bright blue color is fun. I wish it had two pockets instead of one, but one is sufficient. It's lightweight but it's still not cotton or linen (which wouldn't work for this purpose), so it tends to get a little sweaty at the end of a hot day.
