Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Cooling feel so good?

Well, to start, they’re silky smooth under any outfit. But more importantly, if you run hot—and are one of those people who’s constantly setting the thermostat to “meat locker” temperature—these are going to be a revelation.

How do the Cooling shorts work?

They’re made of hi-tech fabric that lowers the body temperature. (If you want to get geeky about it, the flat cross-section of the yarn offers a wide surface area that quickly releases body heat from your skin.) The yarn texturizing process gives the shorts incredible breathability; the finished ultra-thin fabric is a breeze to wear, literally.

What's a slip short?

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.

Are they shapewear?

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.

What's the waistband like?

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.

Disappointed

I had hoped the cooling short would have been everything it was touted to be. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the legs riding up. The material was indeed light and cool but zero support and the legs rolled all the way up constantly. A lot of money for a useless undergarment.

Rides up and down somehow, but breathability is great

One reason I purchased these is that they said they do not ride up on the legs or down on the waist. I wish I had gotten only one pair to check this, but instead I bought two pairs. Now I am stuck with two expensive anti chafing shorts that ride both up and down and therefore are not particularly useful. However, they do breathe very well, so I appreciate that.

Cool as a cucumber

I bought my first pair (7” short) a couple months ago and they have been a game changer. These keep me cool in the blistering AZ heat. They are lightweight allowing air to circulate so your lady bits don’t feel like they’re in a sauna. They are very stretchy and aren’t restrictive/uncomfortable like shape wear, so I never feel like someone has tied a string around a pork roast. I’m 5’4, pear shape, and wear a size 14. I bought the L/XL and they fit perfect. My only critique is that the waistband does slide down a bit during the day and needs to be adjusted. That said, it isn’t bothersome enough for me to stop wearing them. These wash up well in a lingerie bag and dry quickly.

Not as cooling as I had hoped

I still sweat in these, but at least I didn’t chafe. Definitely more cooling and comfortable than bike shorts, which is what I had been using before.

Amazing!

I ordered the cooling shorts in 12" in my usual size 5x/6x. The fit is absolutely perfect. For reference I'm typically a size 30 jeans and 5x in anything stretchy like pajamas and leggings but I find I fit anything from 3x to 6x depending on the brand. These shorts are a dream! I usually wear 9" cotton bike shorts under dresses which eliminates chub rub but can make me warm and they do ride up if I'm walking all day. But with these cooling shorts I simply forgot I was wearing them! They stayed in place, kept me cool, and I didn't feel them on me after 20 minutes. I've been waiting patiently for 12" options to come back in stock and then I'm grabbing another 2 pair. I'm 5'4" with short legs, long torso, and a pear shape. These 12" shorts fit me at my bellybutton in the waist and the legs fit to the top of my knees perfectly. I have sensory issues and I'm very particular about texture, these were not itchy at all.
