Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Cotton feel so good?

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.

What's a slip short?

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.

Are they shapewear?

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.

What's the waistband like?

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.

Just got my "the cooling" slip shorts in the mail - i am HAPPY!

I'm a big woman with some junk in the trunk and this beautiful undie just works! I normally wear 22/24 jeans, i purchased 3x/4x and 5x/6x just to be sure to have a fit either way on first purchase, and yes, the 3x/4x fits without binding, riding up, bunching down or twisting around! I cannot even pull the 3x from other manufacturers up past my butt! And i got so used to poor sizing i woukd order "my" size and the two sizes bigger just so one might fit. But these are true to size and are so easy to pull on, no sagging and goodby chaffed thighs! Light as a feather, moisture wicking, stretchy and cool, i feel secure in these! Plenty of room for a panti-liner with no problems, and these just feel like i went "comando" without actually going "comando". I usually am annoyed with trying to tug and pull these types of underwear up or down - but these just slide right up or down NO problem. Nothing sticks (like your skirt or cotton slacks) and they do not feel like they are choking my organs up into my gullet - they feel like nothing at all yet somehow secure. I used to buy cotton waist high bloomers- briefs without the elastic leg bands for comfort. Now THESE slip shorts are my every-occassion go-to underwears! Silky soft and stretchy but body hugging, i HAVE TO HAVE THEM IN EVERY COLOR! the 5x/6x were comfy, a bit bigger but they were not "falling-off-me" big! I am about 5'2", 220 lbs, 3x was fine, i bet a 2x would have also been fine. My top half is smaller than my bottom half and i always have trouble with sizing, but these are pretty spot on. The leg hem and waistband do not roll at all, these slip-shorts hit me about 3" above the knee, and waistband sits at my navel. The next size up is just about an inch longer and wider around than the 3x. Comfy, cool and worry free, finally SOMEBODY is designing things for a larger women that are not just larger versions of what skinny models wear! they finally designed something that actually fits and feels good!! Thank you!! I am a fan for life! Don't you dislike getting a lovely dress in your size but the length is yards too long and the armholes go down to your waist, the sleeves a foot longer than your arm? Why? Why do they do that? I am bigger - not taller, not stretched! I am bigger, but not big everywhere! Designers need to measure REAL women like these people who designed "the cooling" did! Oh, and the models on this site are stunning! They are ALL just stunning! Two thumbs up for REAL WOMEN models! Their big beautiful beauty just shines!
