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.

Cooling shorts in black and beige

I originally bought the Thigh Society Cooling Shorts in black and beige (7-inch length) back in 2024, and I loved them so much that I bought two more pairs for summer 2025. They’re incredibly practical to wear under dresses to prevent thigh chafing, especially on hot days. The fabric is lightweight, super stretchy, and unbelievably comfortable. These shorts are a game-changer for staying cool and comfortable all summer long!

Love these just bought more

I’ve had great experience with this company and their customer service is fantastic. Just bought two more pairs. They really do help under dresses, especially the cooling ones. They’re very comfortable.

Game Changer

"The Cooling" slip shorts do everything they promised to do! I was amazed at how it feels like I'm wearing nothing. I had a little dress on all day and zero thigh chafing. It was heavenly. I bought three pairs for an upcoming trip where I'll be doing lots of hiking but still wanting to wear cute little dresses. Thank you so much for an awesome product.

Good option

Ordered the black and almond in 7” in the same size. The almond was perfect for running around Paris. For some reason the black felt like it was two sizes smaller, regardless of being the same size. It kept riding up throughout the day which made for some uncomfortable moments. Still recommend but curious why the experiences differ among colors

Lives up to the hype

I took a chance and it paid off. These are so damn comfy, no rolling, no bunching, no scratching. I am impressed!!
Note my hip size is on the border between s/m and m/l, and I sized up based on what I read about doing so if you have thicker thighs, and I think that helped make sure there was no rolling.

Not the one for you?
