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.

Falling apart after one wash

Their customer service is great and sending me a new pair because my first pair were riding up before ever washing. I did just wash that pair for the first time and they are falling apart! The seam inside is coming apart and I don’t even want to try the new pair any more. I was hoping these could be a staple to wear so often this summer but it looks like they lasted one wash. Wouldn’t recommend.

Rolls down and no returns accepted

This shorts roll down even though it’s the correct size. They don’t accept returns since they consider this item to be undergarments.
I recommend not spending money on this

Rolls up and is insanely sheer

I purchased the almond cooling shorts for my trip to Greece for the purpose of wearing them under dresses on hot, windy days and remaining cool and comfortable while knowing I wouldn’t be exposed in the breeze. I was a bit disappointed. While they are made of a very comfortable material, they rolled up on my average sized thighs nonstop which was super annoying, especially when they are literally advertised as not doing precisely that. These shorts were also far more sheer than I anticipated. My nude underwear were clearly visible which I was surprised by because that is not the case in the stock photos on the website. It’s unfortunate the cooling short doesn’t offer more coverage. An option that is cooling and opaque would be great. My shorts also snagged during the first wear due to my ring catching them as I was getting dressed, so they are pretty easy to snag, too.

Way cool!

These are amazing. So thin as to be not there, yet I can't feel any dampness between my thighs when it is over 90 degrees here in the very Deep South. I recommend them heartily.

Amazingly comfortable

These are the best undershorts I have tried to prevent thigh chafing. They don’t make me hotter even in 100 degree heat. I will say the waist does roll down a little bit, but I’ve never come across shorts that don’t do that. They don’t ride up in the crotch, so that’s the important part. I am 5’2”, 139lbs. I usually wear a size 6 and have proportionally bigger thighs. I purchased a size Medium in these and am pleased with the fit. If your dress is super short, you can hike the shorts up a little bit and they still don’t ride up further.
