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.

Great Product

I love my thigh society original! Helps to contain sweat like a slip, but it's a light short. It works really well under dresses. I will be buying more.

Comfy and don't ride up!

I was a longtime Jockey slipshorts wearer but I was sick of yanking the shorts down at every stoplight (I walk all over my city) after they rode up my inner thighs. These stayed put for over 10,000 steps of walking and felt comfy! They are a little loose on my waist and definitely aren't "snatching" like many yoga or bike shorts. For me this was fine-ish. For others this could be a pro or a con.

Really pleased

I read the reviews and this sounded like what I needed under my skirts. I was not disappointed. This was really stretchy and comfortable.

Very nice, will purchase again if needed

I tried four different models (all except the Staple). The Original and Cargo styles are great to wear as shorts. I tried them in both the 7" (perfect mid-thigh length) and the 9", which is great too. I didn’t try the 5" because some reviews mentioned they’re more likely to roll up, but I have a short skirt that will need them eventually. The 7" feels quite long.

The Cooling version feels like stockings — see-through and very lightweight. The Cotton is the softest and will probably be my favorite to wear under skirts.

For reference, my size in pants and leggings is Medium / 8. I hesitated between S/M and M/L, and thank goodness I chose S/M. It definitely doesn’t feel small — the waistband is even a bit loose. I think the M/L would have been too big.

Not the one for you?
