Thigh Society just celebrated 15 years in business, and from the very beginning we’ve made it our mission to bring comfort to all body types and sizes. We make shorties that prevent chafing, butt sweat and more, in the biggest range of sizes the slip-short world has ever seen, from XS to 6XL. Our shorties are ultra-soft, stay in place, move with your body, and serve as a cooling base layer in the summer and a warming underlayer in the cooler months.
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive brand, so here’s an overview of how everyone can wear Thigh Societies.
Chafing Can Happen to All Body Types
From plus size to petite bodies, everyone can experience chafing (aka chub rub). There’s a common misconception that chafing and body size are correlated, but that’s not always true — and getting smaller is not the solution to getting rid of chafing. Our founder Marnie Rabinovitch Consky created Thigh Society after many years of dealing with irritated thighs. “Chub rub — it might sound funny, but if you've felt it, you know the agony,” Rabinovitch Consky says. “That constant thigh friction, those painful prickly red rashes. I'd tried everything: bike shorts, shapewear, men’s boxers, messy creams and gels that never lasted.”That’s what led her to create multipurpose shorties that stay put, hug your curves and give you freedom of movement no matter your size.
Chafing doesn’t just happen at any size, it can also happen on a variety of body parts. Our thighs are the most common area for chafing; it can occur on the upper, mid and lower thigh. However, people also experience groin and butt chafing, all of which can be prevented with a pair of our shorties.
From XS to 6XL
Thigh Society comes in a wide range of sizes, lengths, styles and colors. Our sizes range from XS to 6XL because we believe everyone should get to live chafe-free. Our bodies fluctuate and go through changes all throughout our lifetime — and our stretchy fabrics accompany you through it all. Our shorties also come in lengths 5” to 21”, depending on the style, to accommodate as many kinds of bodies as possible. Some of us chafe in the upper thigh area, while others chafe between the knees. No matter where you chafe, our shorties have you covered (literally). Our shorties are especially helpful for those with apron bellies, also known as pannus stomach or an abdominal pannus, a term used to describe a stomach with skin and tissue that hangs down from the abdomen. If you have an apron belly, our shorties provide support without constricting the body, gently holding apron bellies in place to help prevent chafing.
Fashion for All Bodies
From pear-shaped to hourglass, there are many different body types and no one is better than the other. While we don’t subscribe to fashion rules and how you should dress your body type, we do know that comfort is always in style. Our shorties can serve as an extra layer to underscore your personal fashion POV and what you enjoy wearing with your body type. For example, you can wear our 5” shorties under a flowy skirt to give you an extra sense of security on a windy day, or you can wear them under a sheer dress as an added layer to make the material less see through. If you want to wear a curve-hugging jumpsuit but are worried you might overheat, our Cooling shorts help pull heat and sweat away from your body helping you feel less sticky. And you don’t need to worry about having to fix them under the jumpsuit because these babies stay in place.
Pair them invisibly with shorts and skirts for extra coverage, or choose a longer length for layering during sports like hiking or jogging. They’re the high-performance layer that helps you stay cool even when you’re walking long distances carrying gear and a backpack. They’re sheer, so they’re best paired with a shorter layer on top and this combo will also prevent your legs from being scraped and protected from foliage.
Tall to Petite
When it comes to shorts lengths for different heights, we also have you covered on that front. Our shorties range from 5” to 21” in certain styles, which allows you to choose a length that works best for your height and body type. If you’re tall with a slender build, you might opt for a longer length, while petite folks may go for the 5” or 7” shortie. If you have shapely legs, a longer short might work best for you. We like to give customers as many options as possible to get the exact right short for your unique body.
Whether you’re short, tall, petite or plus size, there’s a pair of Thigh Society shorties for everyone. Wear them outdoors, to work or exploring the great outdoors — chafe-free, of course.
