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.

Eh. It's okay...wish it fitted better

I ordered a 5" and it was tighter in the thigh and loser in the waist. I would like to go down a size so it would fit better in the waist but then it would probably be even more tighter in the thigh and cut some circulation. If they had one that did fit me better, I would with they had a 3" option with a wide waist band.

Fit great

These feel and fit great. I have not worn them out for any lengthy period yet, but when I tried them and walked around, they feel soft and not too constricting or hot.

Very pleased

Love love love these. I can't believe they stay put! I bought these and the lighter weight ones. I am a bit more aware I am wearing these, but they are still super comfortable.

Does what it was supposed to

Great product. No chaffing issues and didn’t feel like I was even wearing anything

As advertised!

I am not sold easily and I worried these would toll or ride up. I put them thru the ringer and they never moved. So comfortable and a thigh rub life saver.
