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 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.

A little scratchy

I’ve had them a few weeks. They are comfortable overall but can also be a little itchy. I bought 6 shorts and one seems scratchier than the rest.

I tried every style

I’m new to thigh society so I ordered 4 pairs; one of each style. I washed them and wore them for a day (not just a simple try-on over other undies). Here is my takeaway.
1. The original - best structure, stays in place, wishing I had ordered 4 (or 10) of these
2. The cotton - decent. Moved around more than the original. Does not hold a candle to the structure on the original.
3. The staple - very soft fabric. Too flimsy for me. Didn’t really feel like anything was there. These slid around on me. Not coming out of the drawer again unless I’m out of everything else.
4. The cooling - my least favorite by far, these had the opposite of a cooling effect on me. The fabric is very thin and feels like a nylon- doesn’t feel like you’re wearing much at all. Did not stay in place. Probably will never be worn again.
BYW my name isn’t Lisa. I’m reviewing underwear here people. 🤷🏻‍♀️
