Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Original feel so good?

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.

What's a slip short?

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.

Are they shapewear?

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.

What's the waistband like?

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.

Highly Recommend

I purchased these for under a semi-formal dress for a wedding in Georgia during the summer. As a thick thigh gal, I usually wear some sort of shorts under dresses and loves the idea of these shorts. They were perfect and stayed up the entire time; they didn’t roll at the top like some shorts I have purchased in the past.

Thank you!

Wore it under my dress and was so comfortable and no more thighs rubbing and sore. Thank you so much!

Highly recommended

I've been purchasing Thigh Society products for years. They're comfortable, don't sweat and are true to size. They are reasonably priced compared to other similar products.
Thigh Society are one of the few companies where I can purchase the longer length which helps with chafing.
I get them shipped to Australia and I find they arrive quickly. I love the packaging.

Sooo Good!

These are very comfy. They made wearing a skirt, which I haven't done in years, much more enjoyable. I would have preferred a longer length than the 9" available, as I am on the taller side.

I love my thighs!

Thank you for making my life easier. I can now comfortably wear my flyaway dresses on windy days. Usually, I wouldn't say I like shorts since they don't do justice to my body. But these shorts are the best! I have four pairs of shorts, yet I will be ordering more. I love my shorts.
