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.

Fabric, fab! Color, meh.

I love The Cooling shorts. Love love love them, have many pairs. I really like the 21" to wear under short dresses or long shirts in the summer in NYC. I have the 21" in both black and beige and while I reach for the black often, I almost never wear the beige ones. To me the color is just sort of yuck. I'd love to see the 21" Cooling in mocha or navy or even one of the pinks. But that's me, you may love this color -- and I do love The Cooling line in general.

Rarely write reviews but

Guys seriously....I find random purchased through instagram ads sometimes fruitless but my god am I glad this popped in my feed. Ive gained some weight and no longer have a thigh gap and noticed some very unpleasant chaffing last summer and the beginning of this one....decided to take a chance on these (i got them in black and beige) and they are like soo thin and silky and slippering and comfy. Suddenly wearing dresses in hot weather is a dream and not a discomfort. I'll probably eventually order more but for now im really enjoying the ones I have

I Need More of Them!

I’ve had my Thigh Society cooling shorts for a couple of weeks. It’s already clear that with living in the Southern US, I will need several more pairs!

Good but not great

Good shorts but the waistband dug in a bit. Kinda irritating by the end of the day. I fall in between sizes on the chart and sized down per recommendation. I’m going to try sizing up. Otherwise I like that they’re breathable and slightly cooling. A bit pricy.
