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.

Perfect for summer maxi dress-season

I love the full thigh coverage offered by the 17" length. I attended a graduation recently and these slip shorts kept me comfortable, even while sitting in a plastic chair. No chub rub here! One small issue is that they do tend to ride up a little and bunch in the knee crease.

Absolutely completely and utterly worth every cent (so far)

I put off buying these for a few years because they were just that little bit more pricey than other brands and I didn't think it would be worth paying extra. I was wrong. They don't just reduce the discomfort of having chaffed thighs in hot weather, they actually do make you feel cooler, lighter, less constricted. I've read the reviews that warn of tears and ladders in the fabric, and they do feel quite thin and delicate compared with the cheaper brands, so I'll take care of them in the same way I would a pair of pantyhose and hopefully they'll last.

There were very true to size for me, fit well without riding up or rolling down. Very comfortable.
