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.

They’re 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.

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.

Very comfortable!

The shorts do not ride up. They are very breathable and don’t get sweaty even in the heat. I enjoy them!

Too small

They need a better size chart. I wear a size 4, have 35" hips, and bought their recommended size XS/S. They were soooo tight! They were a little tight on my waist and gave me a bit of muffin top, fine on my hips, but so tight on the band around the thighs it left a red mark after trying them on for only a few seconds. I looked up how to do an exchange for a bigger size, but guess what? These "shorts" they're selling are suddenly underwear, and not eligible for a return. I bought two pairs and now am out $90. I feel completely ripped off, especially since I bought the size their very inaccurate and incomplete size chart said I should. Will never buy from again.

Fabulous

As a small person who has recently put on weight due to medication and has never had a problem with chafing, I struggled to find something that was comfortable to ware under skirts and dresses, I stumbled across these on the internet, they looked the best of a bad bunch, so I ordered 3 pairs (they are not cheap when converted to AU$), but have been a life changer for me. I recently order 2 more pairs plus the cargo ones. Hoping they are just as good.

Perfect travel companion!

I purchased a couple of pairs of The Cooling to take on a trip to Japan. Late summer in Japan is HOT and HUMID. While I didn't notice any actual cooling effect from these, I can say that they saved my thighs from chafing! Walking 20-30k steps per day and zero chafing! Additionally, they were easy to hand wash in the sink each night. If I used a towel to squeeze out excess water, the clean pair would be dry by morning. This allowed me to only use two pairs for a three week trip. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking to prevent thigh chafing as well as anyone looking for decent travel underwear.

So soft, so smooth!

I own under-the-dress shorts from other companies and nothing beats The Cooling shorts. They are the soft, smooth and thin. T best part- they do not move, shift, ride up or fall down.
I have the 9” and the 12”… I am 6’1” and find the 12” fit me, length-wise, like a 9” on the models.

Not the one for you?
