Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Original feel so good?

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.

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.

Love them

The original are the best. I bought one in black that was called the staple and I don’t like it. It is way too stretchy. I purchased two pair the first time I ordered. One pair in original and the other pair in the staple. The second time I ordered two pair in the original. I will only buy the original in the future.

Comfy

Sizing was spot on -I’m 140ish 5’5” -which I was worried about cause I have hips and a booty, but the s/m fit great. I might go up a size to wear as shorts but I wear them under dresses or with a loose shirt around the house… very comfy, they don’t ride up, and aren’t too compressed that you can’t wait to rip them off. I’m coming back to get more

Amazing!

The 9" Original was amazing! They stayed put and did not roll. I highly recommend them!

Highly Recommend

I purchased these for under a semi-formal dress for a wedding in Georgia during the summer. As a thick thigh gal, I usually wear some sort of shorts under dresses and loves the idea of these shorts. They were perfect and stayed up the entire time; they didn’t roll at the top like some shorts I have purchased in the past.

Thank you!

Wore it under my dress and was so comfortable and no more thighs rubbing and sore. Thank you so much!
