Frequently Asked Questions

These lounge shorts are downy soft and super stretchy, which makes them sort of irresistibly versatile—in other words, they’re so multifaceted, they could win an EGOT. (You know how magazines are always talking about “day to night” clothing? This is actually it.)

They're both! 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are buttery soft and stretch to twice their size without bagging or sagging, making them perfect to accommodate a growing belly during pregnancy and beyond.

Thigh Society shorties are totally bump-friendly — they don’t compress you or suck you in like shapewear. Instead, they’re a lightly smoothing, 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, and is designed to stay in place without rolling down. The waistband is like the Loch Ness Monster: you’ll doubt it really exists.

Our shorts stretch up to 2x their size without bagging or sagging, making them perfect for your pre-and-post-partum journey. We recommend sticking with your regular size for the first trimester, and sizing up for the second and third. Then you can continue wearing both once your baby is here!

Our shorts are made from the highest quality yarns that are soft and silky-smooth against the skin — even surgical scars. The Staple short acts as a light barrier, helping protect scars and stitches from snagging against your clothes.

Roll up and not worth it

I bought a pair of the original and another of the cooling and only recently started wearing them, and I'm very disappointed. The idea is that they don't roll up and that's all they do. I'm constantly having to pull them down, and unroll. $80 gone to waste. For this price point and promise, you'd hope for a better product.

I like and don’t like

The shorts are comfortable but the ride up and don’t stay in place.

Don’t roll down, but don’t stay put

I wore mine for the first time today. As advertised, the waistband stayed put and didn’t roll down. However, the legs kept creeping up my thighs. I kept pulling them down, they kept creeping up. I would not but again.

Like them but not as much as the Original

So far I've tried the Original short and this Staple version. While equally comfortable, the Staple has an annoying tendency to roll up on the edge. Not a big deal but probably will stick with other versions of Thigh Society's shorts in the future

Perfect for pregancy

I have purchased a few pairs of these to wear under dresses during my pregnancy and they have been a lifesaver. I am much cooler and no chafing!
