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.

Amazing

I have never had a pair of workout shorts that didn’t ride up or roll down and this didn’t. Love them and will definitely be buying more.

Great for exercise!

I get horrible chafing during jogs or biking and with the summer starting I was not looking forward to wearing leggings in 90 degree weather. These are very comfortable without compression and fit around my hips and thighs without cutting into my skin after prolonged wear.

The waist was a little too high for my body and rolled down, but after hemming it down a touch it's much better. I wouldn't wear only these if you're carrying a phone/keys/other heavy items because they may sag, but I always wear overshorts when running so that hasn't been an issue for me. Overall, great purchase.

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!!
