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.)

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.

So comfy

These shorts are so comfy and still fit me at 35 weeks pregnant! I was a bit nervous when buying them because I had similar shorts from another brand and they just made me super sweaty, but these ones are actually cooling which is SO nice being pregnant during the summer. My only complaint is that the first time I wore them, they got a run in them already, so I’m not sure how long they’ll last.

Amazing fit and comfort

I love that this is a Canadian company. I have bought a similar product, but they roll up or down and very uncomfortable. These cooling shorts a definitely cool during a heat wave, fit amazingly and stay in place. I loved them so much I ordered more in black for myself daughter and I. Definitely recommend!

Beyond comfortable!

Sizing is perfect, stretch is perfect. These feel like they're hardly being worn. If I had any suggestions, the fabric of this item can cause similar fabrics worn on top of these items to not fall flat. Ideally a shinier fabric would allow the flow of other fabrics over top. Can this be considered?

Very nice, but tighter than expected

I started out with a size S/M because my waist is 28” and my hips are 38” but it was too small and tight. Customer service was kind and did an exchange for me for a M/L and that worked better. Be aware that the bottom part is not seamless so it can be seen slightly under some dress pants. I have the Halara Straight Leg Work Pants and the seam can be seen ever so slightly underneath at the bottom of the 7” length which is kind of disappointing but they’re not unwearable. I’m just super picky about that kind of thing. These definitely prevent chafing though so that’s a plus. Overall I am pretty satisfied.
