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.

The Staple

After a lot of research and going through reviews, I convinced myself to buy a pair of the Staple tights, hoping it's worth the cost.

I was unsure the length of the inseam for my 5'4" height. I'm also in-between sizes and the size guide advised to size down so I did that and it's perfect. Not too tight, even on my slightly bigger thighs. The waistband doesn't dig in. I got the 7 inch inseam, but I can easily pull it up till a 5 inch or make it slightly longer too. I wore it underneath my dress while walking and sat during a long car ride and it didn't ride up at all.

Although it doesn't feel like the softest thing, it is extremely comfortable and I feel like I can wear it for a long stretch at a time. Fingers crossed, I hope it lasts for a long time, given the higher cost. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. :)

Perfect everyday undergarment

I love the weight of the Staple—they are lightweight, but not as see-through as their coolest weight. The 9” suits me best because I’m tall, so I’m grateful they come in this length. These are my go-tos for under dresses because regular underwear never stays put! These stay, feel weightless, and make me feel covered even with clothing that’s not totally opaque. And of course, no more chafing.

I was hesitant to buy these at first as Ive purchased others in the past from other name brands. Which I was disappointed, they rolled down and the legs didn't stay in place. With these I was very surprised!! The staple short definitely describes these shorts. The staple a must have!! I bought my first pair for an outdoor evening wedding this past weekend and the temp in Georgia was very hot and very humid with no breeze. I can honestly say I stayed cool where it counts. They were so soft, not see through which I wore high waist black tummy control panties underneath since most of the reviews said there is no compression, they were extremely comfortable, it felt like I had nothing on. They did exactly as they say. The wedding started at 6pm and after dinner we danced all night. They never rolled down at the waist nor did they roll up at the legs. These shorts are the best by far. Considering buying a few more.

I love, love, love these! Finally, I found a compression slip short that I can wear without it riding up or chafing. Awesome for my thick thighs!
