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. Plus, IT HAS A POCKET.

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.

Great thigh protection!

I didn't have a chance to REALLY challenge these shorts until this week. I went on vacation to Florida with friends. We visited Universal Studios a couple times during the week. Both days I wore a light dress and these cargo thigh shorts (3XL/4XL, 9" leg length, I usually wear a size 26 pants and I have very thick thighs). I walked and walked for hours in VERY humid 89.5 degree weather. Although there was plenty of sweat down under, my thighs moved smoothly against each other and never once chafed or were the least bit uncomfortable. At the end of the day the inner thigh of the shorts showed some wear but still feel great (see pics). I don't know how long they'll hold up to days like that but so far so good. I love them!

Best thing I’ve ever bought

These are the comfiest piece of clothing I’ve ever bought and I’ll buy many more! I forgot I was wearing them and I had no discomfort at all! They aren’t restrictive and are crazy stretchy!

Amazing

Wore these shorts hiking in Zion and Bryce National Parks. The shorts are comfortable, durable, quick drying and prevented any chub rub! Will definitely be ordering more!

Favourite shorts to wear under… well, everything

I love the cargo shorts. I’ve had the 7 inch inseam for a while and opted to go for the 5 inch this time to have some flexibility in what I wear them with or under.
I do feel like the material is a little different; still soft and unbelievably comfortable, but almost thinner.
If I could change one thing, it would be for pockets on both sides. I have type 1 diabetes and the pocket is where my insulin pump goes under dresses.
I happily tell people all about these shorts if it comes up and someone is in the market.

Perfect under garments!

Perfect pants to wear under skirts or dresses. Love the leg pocket and it holds my phone perfectly while I am out walking! Anyone who has had thigh chafing, these are a game changer for sure! I got 2 pairs and a, now looking at other items on the website. Ordering was easy and delivery was very quick.
