Frequently Asked Questions

We know, right? It’s partly because of the clever construction, partly because of the first-rate fabric blend, and partly because it supports your body without feeling constricting.

They're both! We’re glad you asked. Think of them as a combination between an old-school slip, a boxer brief and biker shorts: 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.

Very soft & comfy

The feeling of these are extra soft and comfy to wear all day long. The only downside is that the top needs to be tighter. The top band loosens up as the day progresses.

Love them

These shorts are great. They fit me very well. For being a curvy woman. They stay up with out falling and having to do the pull-up. They're very secure and breathable.

Amazing!

I got these for the New Orleans Jazz Festival and they were amazing! No chafing, they didn't ride up, and no swamp butt!!
I also recently wore them on a 2 night backpacking trip and they were amazing and so comfortable!
Purchasing another pair soon. An essential clothing item for the summer!
