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.

Love these!

Very comfortable. They do help keep you cooler especially on these 100 degree days. I wear them under my shorts for added comfort.

Wonderful

These are a great length for under shorter skirts and wide leg pants - stayed cool under linen pants. Very comfortable and do not ride up or roll at the waist.

How have I lived so long without these!

Thigh Society was recommended by a friend as I am planning my wardrobe for a trip to Italy and I have some dresses and pants that I said I want to ensure I don't chafe with all the walking I am going to be doing and I want to be comfortable in the warmer climates. She could not recommend these enough and I now know why. I tried these and let me tell you they are a game changer! They are comfortable, cool and easy to wash and maintain their shape. They also fit very true to size. I highly recommend them!

Great shorts! Apple shapes might need to size up.

Love these shorts! Just wore mine for two days of Disney, under dresses, and they stayed so comfortable. They feel non existent, yet noticeable? (In a good way!)
I am between(ish) sizes, and I tried the smaller size first since I don’t have a big butt or thighs. I am an apple/inverted triangle shape. And the smaller size was a mistake! The waistband kept rolling down. I reached out to customer service and they were so kind and helpful, and made an exchange a very easy thing. The larger size fits perfectly for my larger waist size. So keep that in mind if you are the same shape. :)

Wish I bought sooner

Got these to wear under a cream pair of pants for extra coverage and they are amazing. Yes, they are "sheer" but still work well under the pants AND keep you cool AND no chaffing! I plan on purchasing more.
