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.

Comfortable bike shorts

Shorts fit as expected and I find them extremely comfortable. I bought the M/L and I usually am a size 12 in pants. One comment -would love 2 pockets instead of just one and more colors. Would buy again

Love them, so comfy!

I have had the cargo in size M/L, inseam 7, for 1-2 years now and I really like them. They are great to wear under dresses or flowy pants to prevent chaffing. They don't offer any kind of compression, but still manage to stay in place, which I really like. I just wish the material was a bit more breathable.

Best shorts for under golf dresses

I wish these came in more colors. They are perfect for under golf dresses because they cover so no need for underwear. The beige is OK but looks a bit too much like granny panties when you see them. Would love to see bright colors

Comfortable, but I wouldn't wear it on its own

Measured size: xs/s, but I ended up needing one size up because my normal size was too see-through in the black colorway. The Sandstone colorway was also not as opaque as I thought it would be. The material on both sizes is super comfortable on my belly. I just needed some coverage under skirts and dresses so I don’t accidentally flash anyone. It doesn’t hide any underwear lines, though, so I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing it alone as shorts. I think these are advertised as being able to double as just plain shorts, and I definitely wouldn’t. The material gets a little looser and softer after you wash it. It does feel like thicker pantyhose, but without that awful contricting waistband! I’m pretty excited to be able to wear some shorter dresses again! I’m a 28” waist, 5’4”, 36” hips. The xs/s fits fine, but didn’t pass the squat test for opacity. S/M passes both fit and opacity, but is a bit looser. I haven’t tried them outside yet, but I think it will be fine. In terms of length, I got the 7”, and they were mid-thigh. Customer service is amazing, so don’t be afraid to order!!
