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.

Light as a feather, yet supportive

These are very light weight yet they supported me well - I really enjoyed wearing them under my dress during a recent hot weather spell.

The best thing I brought to Italy

I bought 2 pairs of these to take to Italy to wear under long dresses and skirts and they were a lifesaver! Definitely kept me cool during our long days of walking and touring Rome and the coast. I highly recommend these even if your thighs don’t rub together! I am 5’2” and wear a pant size anywhere from a 4 to an 8 and I got the 7” S/M.

Helps Feel Comfortable and Look Smooth

I have been wearing this underneath Lululemon align flare leggings during intensive workouts. I feel much cooler, less sweaty. No sweat marks have been shown even on pale colored, thin leggings. Yet the ending edges still show underneath light color regular pants, although they are not tight at all. This 17” length which comes under the knees helps better when I wear either flare or straight pants.

GREAT but…

I LOVE so much about these cooling shorts!! Most importantly, they work as advertised, and are so lightweight & comfortable I forget I’m wearing them!
BUT, I’ve only washed them once & there is already a hole in the front, right in the middle of the fabric. And I wish they came in an 11” length. For the price, all the great stuff may not be worth it…
