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.

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.

Believe the Hype!

I normally don’t believe all the marketing blah, blah, but in this case it’s totally true! Actually doesn’t roll! All of these kinds of shorts always roll up on me, but these really don’t. Also soooo comfortable that I just bought two more, different styles. Thanks so much!

7"original raisin L

Previous shorts i purchased were XL, I decided to try a size smaller size L. Both sizes fit. Both do not roll up in the leg, both roll down on my stomach. But so does all the underwear I have purchased!
I would still recommend them to stop thigh chaffing

Pretty Good

These are decent. The material feels pretty good though I can feel a slight itchiness from the elastic it doesn't seem that this will be a real problem. Unfortunately it rolls down but because the material is thin it doesn't squeeze like the things I've tried before. It feels pretty breezy. The only concern I have is if this will have lasting power. Fingers crossed I get a good run from these.

Way better than normal bike shorts!

I wear traditional exercise bike shorts under my skirts and dresses for work. I tried a pair of the original shorts from Thigh Society after a recommendation from someone at church - and they are a game changer! I like knowing that if something happens, I am protected and won't flash everyone (like if I trip and fall in my crowded classroom, which has happened before!). They provide that reassurance without the bulkiness and heat of the shorts that I have been wearing.

Not the one for you?
