The Original

$40 USD

These super-versatile, velvety-soft wonders give off biker short vibes and are opaque, so they can be layered under clothes or worn alone. Like The Cargo, but without the pocket.

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.

almost great but they are good

They are thicker and I like that when wearing certain dresses or skirts. They are comfortable. I would not wear them alone. They were advertised that you could but this would not be my go to for that.

So comfy!

So cool, so comfy, so worth purchasing! Fantastic under a summer dress- no chafing, no rubbing- just comfort no matter what size you are!

Staple and Cooling roll up!!

I have three shorts Cooling, Staple and Original. Three stars because the Original is thicker, stays put and are comfortable. I like the lighter weight of the Cooling and Staple shorts, but they roll and slide up for me. I'm sensory sensitive and I find that very distracting not to mention uncomfortable to be pulling them down all day. I wish the thinner ones were better behaved. Recommend the Original. Do NOT recomend the Cooling or the Staple.

Exactly what I wanted

These are the perfect "playground shorts" for Moms. I bought one in black, one in the nude-ish color. 9" length is maybe a little long for some, but the substantial fabric, coverage, opacity, and stretch are exactly what I'd hoped for. Thank you, Thigh Society, for not being a scam on the marketplace for shoddy products. THIGHLY recommend.

Love them, but not opaque.

I love my pairs, I even ordered more because I've never found bike shorts that don’t immediately roll, but I would absolutely not call them opaque and so that’s why I’m taking a star off. I went by the size chart hoping they would be opaque, and they fit and wear extremely well with ample room to stretch(my friend’s in the next size up felt too big when I tried them on), but if you want something that can be worn alone I would not get these. They are, however, fantastic for under dresses or even under other loose shorts for working out.

Not the one for you?
