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.

Cannot love these more!

I was skeptical that they would fit or that I'd like them. Initially I was interested in the brand to have something to wear with dresses or skirts to keep my big thighs from rubbing - the one and only reason why I never wear skirts or dresses. Although these and the other styles/lengths will serve the purpose perfectly, they are SO MUCH MORE! These in particular (black 9") have become my go-to lounge wear for around the house and for sleeping in! They are so comfortable - and I am not a person who wears spandex or leggings! They stay but and have the perfect amount of stretch without "stretching out" too much, they don't roll up on the leg or down on the waist. And LOVE that I can wear these without underwear - makes them that much more PERFECT! I've already placed 2 orders and will be ordering more very soon.

My favorite work out shorts

I have a few pairs of these now and they are my absolute favorite bottoms to wear for working out. I mostly wear them for running but I also use them for weights and cross-training. They have held up extremely well to the constant chafe of thighs during a run. I hand wash and hang dry the shorts to increase their life but I have been rotating just 2 pairs for runs for over a year and there are no holes or other obvious signs of wear. I'm super impressed by this. These shorts are also insanely comfortable. The high waist keeps them from feeling like they'll slip down, they're fully opaque, the fabric is soft without feeling slippery, and best of all, NO ROLLING. None. Zip. Not ever. I have more of a prominent belly and have struggled with similar shorts rolling down at the belly, up on the thigh, or both. It's such a non-issue with these shorts that I nearly forgot to include it in this review.

Technically, I should wear a M/L in this short (according to the TS size guide and my pairs of the cooling slip shorts), however, I prefer the fit of these in L/XL. They fit more snugly in this style than in the others and I don't like restriction around my belly while running so if you prefer a softer fit and/or have a more prominent belly(like me!), you may want to size up. Now, all that being said, I have three, somewhat minor issues with the shorts. 1.) I don't know that any other shorts will be able to clear the bar that these shorts have set for workout shorts in the future. This is really only a problem if TS stops making these. 2.) It seems like they are out of stock more often than not. I have been dying to get my mitts on a grey pair for ages and instead have two pairs in black and one in navy. 3.) I would really like to see some of the fun colors from the cooling shorts in this line. Black, grey, and navy are fine and neutral and versatile but also very boring.

P.s. Let's not pretend that a legging length version of these wouldn't be an absolute gift to the world. Just sayin.
