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.

Nice shorts!

I wear these under my summer dresses, they're super comfortable, love the pocket, very soft, and have A LOT of stretch to them. Because they're so stretchy, I'll size down on future orders.

Amazing for a diabetic!

Love these shorts! The cargo is amazing because it holds my insulin pump perfectly. The waist band and leg elastics do not cut into you at all - even when you are bloated, and surprisingly, it still stays in place even with the weight of an insulin pump in the pocket. Also, the cooling effect is wonderful for someone that lives in the south. Easily a 5 star review. I am roughly a size 8 and 5'2" with athletic legs, and love the S/M 5" cargo.

7” cargo is perfect

I absolutely love the 7” cargo. They are comfortable and stay in place. I love that my phone and lip balm fit in the pocket. I’d order another pair if there was a pocket on both sides!

Cargo is awesome

I just went several hours in ridiculous heat and humidity. My legs are not chafed and my nether regions remained at body temperature. I was afraid the heat would be too much but calm cool and collected !!! Minimal slippage!!!
