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.

A-Mazing!

I bought a large based on suggested sizing, but I am very short waisted and although they fit well everywhere else, they rose too high and rolled on my waist. I contacted customer service about a petite size and they sent me a free pair in a med, which made all the difference! These things really work!!

Love these!!

I love this product. I bought one pair to try, then purchased two more. Any chance you are considering making them in the 21 inch length as you do for the cooling ones?

stiffer option, still great

i ordered all four types of shorts in my first order to try. the original is noticeably more structured/stiffer and slightly more compressive than the others. great for under dress/skirts that are light and flowy where you might want to smooth everything out. the waistband is noticeably tighter so if you are self conscious about a soft belly it might create a bit of a seam there. for that reason, it's my least worn of the bunch, but still pretty reliable when i just need any pair of undershorts.
