Frequently Asked Questions

Our cotton shorts are made of a mix of Pima—the champagne of cottons, which is extra-soft and extra-durable—and modal, a natural fiber that's resistant to shrinkage and pilling. Together, they create a texture that’s as luxurious and velvety as a Sade song.

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.

Ride up

I love the cotton material, but they curl up at the bottom. I have to keep adjusting them/pulling the bottoms of the shorts back down.

Original or cotton?

I bought the original and the cotton one. I am happy with the length and the fit and how comfortable they fit, and the feel of the light extra layer, especially under dresses. I don’t remember which one rises up some.

Love thigh society

Perfect light weight shorts that eliminate the chub rub! They are easily concealed under my dresses. Would definitely buy again

Unnoticeable

So far, I’ve only worn this once but I loved it since my thighs were chafe-free and my hooha was definitely less sweaty. I had a concern though because of the sheerness: some beach goers might have gotten an eyeful of my panty-clad butt because I lifted up my maxi skirt pretty high to avoid getting it wet. Just something to keep in mind.
Anyway, I have actually already gotten my pair replaced. I noticed a hole in the back-side seam when I took them off at the end of the day which was odd since they’re brand new. Amy was very prompt in resolving my query via email so thank you to her.
I don’t think I’ll buy The Cooling again, but I love this company’s concept and I do love The Cargo. I can’t wait to see how TS does in the future :)

Vacation comfort

I absolutely love the 4 pairs of coolings I've bought. They've been a thigh-saver for me during a very hot 3 week vacation I'm on! Love being able to wear dresses everyday to stay cool and be comfortable because of cooling shorts. I've been able to hand wash & hang to dry in between laundry days, they dry quickly so it's worked out very well! Thank you for designing such a great product!
