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.

Amazing !!

I've been wearing chub shorts for many years, mainly to prevent chubrub and because I hate skin rubbing. But now I'm wearing a diabetic insulin pump and it needs a place to sit on the body. The Thighsociety cargo shorts are absolutely great for this reason. I'm loving the dual purpose of the cargo shorts. Genius design, wonderful fabric and they feel amazing. I will continue to buy more.
LOVE THEM ❤️ 😍

Sizing issue

First of all I want to say that Thigh Society has fantastic customer service, and I have nothing to complain about as far as that goes. And I love their products. That being said, unfortunately there was a sizing issue. I had a pair of beige cargo shorts and wanted 2 black pairs. The sizing of the black cargo shorts I ordered were way off. TS immediately sent me out another order when I contacted them, but again, the sizing was the same as the first order. I decided that rather than take a chance on a third order producing the same results, I would ask for a refund. No problem. Received the refund with no issues. I really want the black cargo shorts so I hope the sizing will be fixed so I can order 2 pairs!

Absolute Favorite

My favorite for underwear skirts and dresses in summer but also under jeans. Not too warm (Original is thicker) and not too cool (super hot days take Cooling). They are like bike shorts but feel far more comfortable. I sometimes prefer longer but these fit just right. And if I’m at the dance studio and too hot I actually feel comfortable just wearing these (over age 40, with people I know, but who would know anyway?!).

Not the one for you?
