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.

Recommend!

Currently wearing these under a dress, they're super comfy! I'm typically an 18-20 (Aus) and bought the L/XL which fit well. I would say that for me the 7" fits better as the 5" does slide up a bit, but not enough that it's not functional. Definitely will be buying more!

Love it WAY better than the cooling pair

I bought the original 5” and the cooling 7” but I found the original 5” to be MUCH more SUPERIOR than the cooling. The original is way more comfortable. Never made me feel wet, despite mowing the yard in them on a very warm day. And stayed in place. I feel like you can get away with a shorter inseam on the original than the cooling pair and get better coverage/protection. I loved the original so much that I turned around and bought 3 of the Cargos which is the original with a pocket. Amazing! Save yourself the headache and purchase the cargo or the original.

LOVE these!

I bought a beige pair and a black pair of the Original 7" for a recent trip to MX for a wedding. I am 5'0" and 148 lbs and typically wear size 10 or 12. I used to love wearing dresses but since gaining weight I haven't really worn dresses in years due to the dreaded chub rub. Ugh. I wanted to wear a dress for the wedding and I knew we'd be walking a lot and it would be hot and humid so I needed something. I have various bike shorts that I've worn under dresses before and they're OK but my dresses tend to stick to them and I don't like the small elastic at the top that creates a line in my silhouette. So, I took a chance on these.

When I first got them they looked small and I thought, "no way are these going to fit." OMG... I LOVE them! They are SO comfortable. I was worried that they would be too short and my legs would still rub but nope - they were fine. (At 5'0" they hit about 2" above my knee.) They're soft, stretchy, breathable and not constricting at all on my waist. The waist didn't roll down and the legs didn't roll up. Everything stayed perfectly in place. And my dresses didn't stick to them! I was thrilled and wore them multiple times during our trip. I'm so happy with them and now I'm actually looking for dresses for the summer! Thank you, Thigh Society!

Amazing purchase

Got the 9’ and just love it. I’m 7months pregnant and I didn’t feel uncomfortable in it!
