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.

Cool not cruel!!

Love these cooling panties! I got the nude 7 inch and they are soft and comfy. I feel cool with them on. They don’t roll up. And So comfortable!! I wish I found these a long time ago.

Very stretchy

They are very light weight and not thick which makes it easy to wear under everything. However they are very stretchy and I wish I would have gotten the 5 in rather than 7in. But I would buy them again

Best shorts for under dresses I've EVER found!

I've tried many types of under dress shorts and thigh guards for sweaty chafing thighs in the summer time, and this is the best one BY FAR! It feels like I'm not even wearing anything, it's breezy and stays dry, and doesn't fall/roll down or squeeze me.

The Cooling

I highly recommend these shorts. They are comfy, cool, and stay in place. I go dancing, I wear them under my dresses, very supportive but not girdle type at all. I sweat a lot from dancing and they keep me cool.
I wish the knit-in cotton-rich crotch , would be just a touch thicker.
It beats wearing a slip with your dress. Thank you!

No more fires!

Ya know, they say thick thighs save lives but those of us that have thick thighs know that's a lie, that thick thighs actually start fires. Girl lemme tell you, there will be no more fires here with these amazing shorts! I'm thick everywhere, not just my thighs, but these shorts didn't roll down in the tummy OR up on the legs, and they're so comfy I forgot I was wearing them!
I only bought 2 pairs to try them out and I absolutely regret that! I should've bought at least 3 MORE and will be doing so post haste!
