Frequently Asked Questions

We know, right? It’s partly because of the clever construction, partly because of the first-rate fabric blend and partly because it supports your body without feeling constricting. Plus, IT HAS A POCKET.

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.

What I have been looking for!

Comfortable coverage at last!! I highly recommend these, in any color, for anyone looking for something that isn’t binding, eliminates chafing and bulging, AND is comfortable enough to wear all day. Did I mention there’s a POCKET!?

Satisfied Customer

Thank goodness these shorts exist! I have never worn a more comfortable, breathable, lightweight short with no front seam and a pocket! The colours are perfect. How do they hold everything in yet it feels like I’m wearing nothing at all. They are truly the best!

Love these!

Stretchy, comfortable, and a POCKET big enough for my phone! I love that they're not compression fabric.

Please make the cargos in longer lengths? Please/thank you!

Love my Cargo

Love my Cargo!!! Thighsociety has saved me from hot, chafing summer legs. I wear dresses a lot and not all have pockets but my Cargo do!!! It’s always a surprise as to what’s tucked into my pocket!!

Love the pocket!

Love the pocket for summer dresses that don’t have a pocket! Easy to hold my phone though you do flash people a bit (but only shorts! 😜) when you try to take your phone out.
I found with wearing them with a phone in the pocket the whole day they did slip a bit but nothing terrible and the bands don’t roll! I bought the 7” inseam.
