Frequently Asked Questions

Well, to start, they’re silky smooth under any outfit. But more importantly, if you run hot—and are one of those people who’s constantly setting the thermostat to “meat locker” temperature—these are going to be a revelation.

Our slip shorts are made of hi-tech fabric that lowers the body temperature. (If you want to get geeky about it, the flat cross-section of the yarn offers a wide surface area that quickly releases body heat from your skin.) The yarn texturizing process gives the shorts incredible breathability; the finished ultra-thin fabric is a breeze to wear, literally.

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.

Our sheer leggings offer the moisture-wicking and cooling experience of our shorts with more leg coverage.

Skeptical purchase after insta ad -- now a convert

So I live in Southern California. In the valley. It is HOT here, especially in the summers. And I wear dresses and have a bunch of Spanx but they make me sweat like crazy.

I thought there was no way this was some sort of superior product that wouldn't make my thighs chafe but could somehow cool me down. But I guess I was wrong.

These shorts are light as a feather but somehow provide enough protection for your skin.

They are super stretchy so it doesn't even feel like you're wearing anything (which says a lot for my over-sensitive neurodivergent ass).

And they ACTUALLY cool you down. No more gross sweating under my spanx. These things breathe!

I will say because they are so thin that they don't smooth you out as well as Spanx but I do not care because I just want to protect my thighs and prevent a wardrobe malfunction without dying of heat exhaustion. This is it. This is the product. I just bought four more pairs and that's not even a joke.

These shorts were advertised as being able to stay up and not roll down. I ordered my size and they do not stay up.

These shorts are amazing!

I love this purchase - the shorts are amazing and fit perfectly. They’re super comfortable - light as air - and do not roll or shift. Perfect under summer dresses!

Buttery soft

Bought these to wear under skirts and dresses. They definitely get the job done! I ordered the 7 inch but they’re a little bit too long going to order the 5 inch.

Loved it!

To be honest, I bought shorts to have something under my dresses (underwear aside), not for the cooling/chafing. But I was amazed at how great they are at it! We were in Italy, in hot weather, walking non stop and I felt great! I may have to buy another pair. Very soft material!
