The Staple (Maternity)
If you’ve got growth potential, try The Staple. This buttery soft short will make any outfit approximately 15x as comfortable. You’ll be fine in your regular size for the first trimester of your pregnancy—beyond that, go up a size until your bun is out of the oven, or until you feel like sizing down. Thigh chafe? Not in this house.

Sizing Tips
1. For the most accurate info, start by measuring your hips at the largest part of your bum. If you don’t have a tape measure, just go with your usual pant size.
2. In between sizes? We generally suggest sizing down.
3. Expecting? Choose your regular size for the first trimester—beyond that, size up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Staple feel so good?
These are downy soft and super stretchy, which makes them sort of irresistibly versatile—in other words, they’re so multifaceted, they could win an EGOT. (You know how magazines are always talking about “day to night” clothing? This is actually it.)
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.
