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.

They're both! We’re glad you asked. Think of them as a combination between an old-school slip, a boxer brief and a biker shorts: 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.

It wasn't supposed to do this....

Well after how much is said about the waist band not rolling down, it happens to me with 2 different styles. It wasn't supposed to do this. I read a lot of reviews and did not see that in any review, so what's up with them when I wear them? I purchase both the cooling and the original. They have different weights of fabric; the cooling being much lighter and sheer with a light weight waist band and the original has a thicker more dense fabric with a thicker waist band as well. I have worn them under a pair of shorts where both of them sat below the waist of the shorts and a pair of capri where they both sat above the waist of the capri. So I feel that each example would offer a different opportunity for the fabric of the waist bands to sit with fabric on them and without fabric on them. Both waist bands rolled down after only wearing them and bending for 10-15 min. I fix the waist band(s) and then in no time it is rolled again. Other than that, the cooling is so luscious. It feels wonderful. I purchased these to be worn as underware as I have to transition away from thong underware due to a skin condition in the delicate private area. Fabric bunching there, like a thong will, is not ok. I am very glad to found these as they are superior and other than the waist, it is hard to tell that I am wearing anything. I purchased the The original to be for active wear. They are wonderful as well. I ordered the 7" in those, but really should have gotten the 9" as that is a much more flattering length on me. I have purchased other brand names of both of these styles and found the waist rolled as well, so I had very high hopes (because of the reviews) and honestly could not figure out how they wouldn't roll. I am rating 3 stars because of the waist rolling.

Relief from chub rub

These under guards prevent rashes on my thighs from chub rub. It quickly cleared up the annoying rash I get in Summer heat. I am grateful for this product.

So much love.

Highly recommend. Almost all I wear. Got the cargo as well, for the pocket. Can't say enough how much I love every pair I own.
