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.

Not what i expected

I am constantly needing to pull them down- they constantly roll up the leg. They are comfortable when on but just don't stay in place for more then 10 mins

A great product!

I recently traveled to Bali and took these along on the trip. Great quality, great fit, stays in place (no rolling up from the legs or rolling down from the top). Wore these off a short skirt and under a dress. Very happy with my purchase.

Comfortable fit

Love these shorts, wear them under my dresses and they are extremely comfortable. As advertised they DO NOT roll up when you wear them, which was a concern I had. Love the 2 items I purchased and customer service is amazing. When placing order I forgot to apply my discount code and reached out to customer service to explain this and asked if they would still honour it. Within 24 hours, I heard back from a customer service rep who was very understanding and credited my account back the difference once the promo code was applied. Thank you for the great customer service and shorts that are truly designed for women to be comfortable while wearing them.
