Frequently Asked Questions

We know, right? It’s partly because of the clever construction of our women's cargo shorts, partly because of the first-rate fabric blend and partly because it supports your body without feeling constricting. Plus, IT HAS A POCKET.

They're both! 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 pocket is made of the exact same fabric as the shorts, and sewn in with a flat seam that sits flush against your body. No added bulk aside from the treasures you decide to stash in it.

Love the pockets

These are pretty shorts that prevent chub rub. I love the color selection. I also really love the pockets; they offer a good place to put your phone if your dress has no pockets.

LOVE the Cargo!

when i got these i got 2 cotton and one cargo. I love the cargo one more! so i am getting more. its so stretchy! i have a hard time finding things that stretch enough to reach the highest inner thigh area. I am 330lbs and carry a lot of it in my stomach and thighs/butt, and the cargo stretch soo well! they don't feel tight anywhere and the pocket is such an amazing plus if you want to have ur phone but don't have pockets in the dress/skirt!

Best undergarments ever!

I've tried lots of different shape wear and undergarments and these are the only ones that never roll up or down. They're comfortable, true to size and perfect in every way. And the pocket absolutely makes it!

Comfortable, Functional Shorts

These shorts are perfect for underneath my spring and summer dresses. The side pocket is exactly what I needed to be able to keep my phone on my at home and on the go. I found the sizing on the site to be incredibly accurate. Follow any advice they give on that front.

WONDERFUL!!!

I wear lots of dresses that are just above the knee during summer, so I've tried a variety of these types of shorts over the years. This was my first thighsociety purchase. Very happy! When I first opened the package, I feared that the material was a little heavy and thick. But after a couple of wearings, I realized that it was just perfect. Love the pocket. It easily and securely holds my iPhone. I also have worn these under pants for traveling. That inside pocket is great for carrying an extra credit card and some cash, either because I don't want to carry a purse at all or because I want to make sure to have backup in case my purse is lost or stolen!
