The Staple

Frequently Asked Questions

These 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.)

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.

Perfection!

I bought both the cotton and the staple slip shorts for summer. They were so fabulous that I purchased two more (different colours!) for the fall! Comfortable. Felt cool on hot days. I felt more comfortable with the short under my shorter summer dresses and they were great under longer shorts as well. I did downsize on my second order and they are just that little bit more 'fitted' for me. But I can wear either size and feel very comfortable. (I am a 10-12 so started with the M/L and then the S/M). A great product. Love them.

Didn't know I needed this!

I bought this based on a recommendation from someone I follow on Instagram. I am 5'10", and went with the 9" inseam, and it is no-show with all of the dresses I wear to work. The bottoms of the legs did not roll up or slide up at all, which is the trouble I've had with other slip shorts. They were so much more comfortable than a skirt slip. I had no idea what I was missing! I am usually on the larger side of Medium, but a Large is always too big. I was nervous to buy a "S/M" but it fit great with no problem.

A perfect fit

Bought the peachy 5in length shorts and they are great. Smooth. Soft. Not too constricting but gives me a hug in all the right places. Should be perfect for under my bridesmaid dress next month.
