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 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.

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.

Believe the Hype!

I normally don’t believe all the marketing blah, blah, but in this case it’s totally true! Actually doesn’t roll! All of these kinds of shorts always roll up on me, but these really don’t. Also soooo comfortable that I just bought two more, different styles. Thanks so much!

Constantly ride up

These are soft & comfortable. I love that they don’t compress my stomach (I hate shape wear). I’m 5’2” 110 lbs & the XS/S 5” shorts fit great. My biggest complaint is that the legs constantly roll up. Especially when going from sitting to standing which is majority of my work day & where I wear these most often. I wish the legs had some sort of non-slip type of material on them to help prevent this from happening. It’s super annoying & I can’t keep reaching under my dress to adjust them every time I stand. Because of this, I won’t purchase any more & will continue my search elsewhere. If the rolling up doesn’t bother you, then these may be a great option.

7"original raisin L

Previous shorts i purchased were XL, I decided to try a size smaller size L. Both sizes fit. Both do not roll up in the leg, both roll down on my stomach. But so does all the underwear I have purchased!
I would still recommend them to stop thigh chaffing

Absolutely not what I expected

I’ve tried many brands of underpants, so I decided to give this one a shot, even though I had my doubts. I ordered three different pairs. First, the colors—they’re just not right. I don't know for what skin tone, but they don’t match at all. I tried different colors, and none of them look natural. The shades are like teenage colors, with purples and peachy tones. Plus, they constantly roll up whenever you sit down or stand up. I’d prefer shorts from other brands that roll down because they're easier to fix. When they roll up, the whole purpose is defeated since they hurt your legs while walking.

The cotton ones are unpleasant to the touch. Overall, I had a bad experience. To top it off, they don’t offer returns if you’re unhappy with the product, which says a lot. Many other brands are confident in their products and will let you return them if you’re not satisfied. So I don’t recommend these at all, but if you still want to try them, at least go for the cooling ones—they have a nicer material than the cotton ones.

Not the one for you?
