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.

Nice fabric, good fit, pricey.

Love these best I have owned. Fit is perfect after washing and drying. Love this color. Silky, smooth fit. I did upside for fear they would be too small, but I think the 4XL would fit also.

Great buy

I am a true size 4XL. I ordered a 5XL to allow for shrinkage. They fit perfectly after I washed and dried. Nice fabric, no binding or pinching, feels good next to skin. I have ordered a total of 5 pairs. Like all of them.

Exactly as expected

I had previously bought two other lengths. I wanted the longer thigh shorts to wear under unlined ivory dress pants for warmth and modesty. They worked perfectly. I am 5’3” 103lbs. I bought the small/medium. Could have gone to a smaller size but i was concerned i would be uncomfortable as i prefer looser clothing.

Not the one for you?
