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.

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.

Fantastic Fit - No Rolling!

These are fantastic! The fit is perfect, they never move. I forget that I have them on!

Such comfort!

These are so comfy. They are not shapewear, but are very smooth. No binding and no bulges where the fabric ends. I did not expect to love these so much.

I enjoy wearing dresses during the summer but dread the heat and humidity, which causes excessive sweating and absolutely hate having my bare skin stick to hot plastic seats at outdoor restaurants! Thank you thighsociety for the bike shorts that keep my thighs dry and free from getting stuck on chairs and benches that are outdoors! They are so comfortable to wear and I love them!

Love them

Unlike the cooling model I bought, these don't roll up when I walk so they are perfect for the summer

Comfy! And I love that they’re opaque enough to wear as shorts.

They don’t offer support, if that’s what you’re looking for.
