Frequently Asked Questions

Our shorts are made of a mix of Pima—the champagne of cottons, which is extra-soft and extra-durable—and modal, a natural fiber that's resistant to shrinkage and pilling. Together, they create a texture that’s as luxurious and velvety as a Sade song.

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.

First time buyer - love these!

I bought the cooling undies for a trip to Cambodia and I love them! Very light and they don’t ride up! Unlike Spanx-type shapewear, these light shorts are easy to pull up or down and are perfect for hot and humid weather. I wore them for hours as we did a walking tour and no chaffing!

I love them and will buy more!!!

great, but no match for physics

I got the 7" at first, hoping to wear them with above-the-knee skirts. They rode all the way up to my hips whenever I walked; but honestly, it's hard for me to hold that against Thigh Society even though they market them that way. If the hem of the shorts is above the narrowest part of your thigh, they will ride up. I have the 12" now and they work great.

Great for outdoor Florida wedding

I wore these under a dress for an outdoor Florida wedding. It was March, but still 80 degrees and muggy. These were so comfortable! I didn’t notice that I had anything extra on but they definitely helped my thighs not rub together, even when I got sweaty. I will always wear these under dresses from now on. I ordered the 12 inch inseam and they went perfectly to my knee, but I’m only 5’5”.
