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.

Cooling shorts

I have been wearing generic shorts under my dresses for years and was on the lookout for new ones. I ordered a couple pair called cooling from Thigh Society to try them out. They were delivered quickly and came with a personal laundry bag. They are soft like “butter” and have a lovely cotton gusset with no uncomfortable seams. I immediately ordered three more pair. I highly recommend Thigh Society.

My go-to for under skirts & dresses

I bought these in June of 2022, and they are still my favorite for wearing under skirts and dresses. They stay up better than any other layer that I’ve tried, and they are comfortable. I’m sensitive to being compressed and these hug just enough to stay. They’ve held up through so many washings (honestly I just throw them in with the rest of my clothes). I will go searching for this one particular pair over anything else I have.

Exactly what I wanted

First time buyer and very happy, typically wear a 6 in jeans with a slightly loose fit, wasn't sure on size so I got a XS/S and a S/M, both fit great! Customer service was excellent too.

Love love loooove!!

They are everything they say they are. I bought 7” & 9” - the 9” are a bit to long for me but perfect to sleep in or under leggings. I love them so much I want to own every single pair of 7”!!

They don’t roll, up or down, they don’t bind or pinch, they pretty much stay put. Incredibly soft & luxurious feeling.

Perfect For My Wedding

I'm short (5'0") and a powerlifter, so finding shorts that don't roll up on my thighs and stay up over my butt is a challenge. I was scrounging the stores/internet to find shorts that I could wear for my wedding that wouldn't roll up, squeeze into my waist/thighs, and would keep me cool throughout the whole thing. These did the trick. I barely feel them when they're on and they stay in place. I only wish that the other sizes were in stock for the other shorts bc I want to get more!
