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.

Not worth it

Ignore the ads — these shorts roll worse than any other shorts i’ve bought. I honestly wish the waist was tighter, too. I know they aren’t shapewear, but they slide down my hips over the course of the day. Total waste of money.

Don't Hesitate!

A friend recommended the 7 inch shorts to me for almost two years and I just didn't think I needed them since I owned a few shorts from lululemon, but I was truly WRONG. Thighsociety's shorts saved my legs this summer and I feel so foolish for waiting to get them--they breathe, feel light, and make you want to lounge in them. I bought two initially and always make sure I have them washed and ready to go. Owning these shorts has re-opened a huge part of my wardrobe with dresses and skirts, which has made the summer months especially bearable... and fun! I am a size 31 in jeans and the M/L has been a super comfortable fit, no digging or awkward lines.

Words Cannot Express How Much I Love These!

I love wearing dresses! Being a wheelchair user, dresses are often easier for me. But after not even a fully day of wearing a dress I would have chaffing. Not anymore! These shorts (I got them in both black and sandstone) are super comfy, easy to pull on, and they stay in place! No rolling or bunching. They wash up great and still have good stretch. I have been wearing dresses all summer with zero chaffing. I would highly recommend these shorts!
