Frequently Asked Questions

Our cotton 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.

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.

Life-changing, plus impeccable customer service

Not sure why I had never heard of chub rub shorts before this year, but they have changed my life! I looove them! Plus, I got the cooling shorts, and they actually do make me feel cooler in the sweltering heat and humidity of the summer months. I'm also super happy to be able to sit on the grass in a short dress without flashing everyone. :)

I originally ordered the M/L because I consider myself to have juicy thighs, but they aren't kidding when they say they have a lot of stretch. DEFINITELY size down - the M/L started riding up my legs and it was pretty annoying. I wear a size 28 in Levi's jeans, to give you an idea. I ended up finding that the seam on the cooling shorts was coming apart a little, so I wrote to let them know (with pictures), and they didn't miss a beat and sent me replacements - on top of it I asked if the replacements could be sized down, and they happily obliged. The smaller shorts are much better, and I may even have been able to pull off getting the XS/S, so if you're on the smaller side, get the smallest size they have for sure. They streeeeeeetch and don't pinch.

They are really exceptional in the customer service department! I did end up having to ask for a second replacement for a similar reason, but I still recommend this company based on my experience with them for replacements and the amazing comfort of the shorts. I definitely would encourage everyone to encourage companies like this who have quality and customer satisfaction as a top priority!

Worth Every Penny

I bought these as a last minute effort to be comfortable in my wedding dress after realizing I was sweating so much in it. It’s easily my favorite practical purchase from the wedding. I didn’t feel them at all, they didn’t roll, sag, or squeeze. They weren’t hot or smelly. They were easy to wash and as a butt sweater I’m so excited to comfortably wear sun dresses again. 100% would purchase again, would buy more in different lengths. Now if only they made stockings 👀
