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.

The Best

I tried other brands, really tried until I relented and bought these. I wish I had just had faith and gone straight to these....in the long run these are the most economical because they work. They are soft, expansive, deep enough in the crouch and long enough in the leg to make you feel comfortable and secure.

These do not disappoint

I've been hunting for good bike shorts to wear under dresses for a while now. The Original model from Thigh Society is the best one I've found. (I also tried the Staple but it was a bit too sheer and thin for my taste). I like the 7" ones because it hits closer to the narrower part of my thighs but I also bought some with the 5" inseam to wear with shorter dresses. I also love that they are snug enough to fit, but NOT snug like compression wear (life is too short to be unable to breathe!) I'm going with classic black, regardless of dress color - as a bonus I can slide the playground slides with my kid without flashing anyone!

Amazing

I bought these for travel where I knew I’d be walking a lot and they did not disappoint. Likes many reviews already note, they’re SO comfortable that you hardly feel them at all. If you have a round middle they may roll a little, but they’re still very comfortable and functional regardless. My only tip would be to make sure they’re pulled all the way up. Make sure they’re in place or you will notice the lack of coverage immediately.

Not the one for you?
