Frequently Asked Questions

These lounge shorts are downy soft and super stretchy, which makes them sort of irresistibly versatile—in other words, they’re so multifaceted, they could win an EGOT. (You know how magazines are always talking about “day to night” clothing? This is actually it.)

They're both! 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are buttery soft and stretch to twice their size without bagging or sagging, making them perfect to accommodate a growing belly during pregnancy and beyond.

Thigh Society shorties are totally bump-friendly — they don’t compress you or suck you in like shapewear. Instead, they’re a lightly smoothing, 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, and is designed to stay in place without rolling down. The waistband is like the Loch Ness Monster: you’ll doubt it really exists.

Our shorts stretch up to 2x their size without bagging or sagging, making them perfect for your pre-and-post-partum journey. We recommend sticking with your regular size for the first trimester, and sizing up for the second and third. Then you can continue wearing both once your baby is here!

Our shorts are made from the highest quality yarns that are soft and silky-smooth against the skin — even surgical scars. The Staple short acts as a light barrier, helping protect scars and stitches from snagging against your clothes.

Wonderful, comfortable and look amazing

I love my Staples! They feel so light and comfortable. There is no rolling down at the waist or riding up on the leg. They are comfortable in the heat and don't show under my dresses. They also wash like a dream. I use soak to wash them and they dry quickly. I am so glad I ordered them.

LOUD??

I did not expect the fabric to make so much noise when my thighs rub together. I don't know how to describe the sound but it's kind of like zipping a zipper with every step I take. It gets annoying really quickly and honestly it draws attention, so I just don't wear them. My only theory is that maybe this wouldn't have been the case if I sized up. For reference, my hips are 40" and I got size S/M (as per the size chart - which by the way, recommends sizing down if you're in-between sizes).

They also roll up my thighs very quickly, making them ineffective at preventing chafing. Maybe this wouldn't have happened with the 7" length in a larger size. But because they don't take returns and I already wasted money buying two pairs, I'm not going to take a gamble again.

100% worth trying

Ive always struggled with finding shorts to wear under dresses, and these are exactly what I've been looking for. I wish i found them sooner! They are buttery soft and don't ride up even after wearing them all day. And they are super light weight and don't make you hot! highly recommend!

Like wearing nothing!

For size reference, I'm about 5'5" and 165lbs pre-pregnancy, slightly athletic and tend to carry my weight in my butt/thighs.
I bought 2 of the 7" staple shorts in black, one L/XL and one XL/2XL because I have big thighs and was hesitant about sizing because I didn't want them to ride up my legs. Turns out the L/XL ride up only a little so I imagine I'll have no problem with them once I'm a few months postpartum. The XL/2XL are extremely comfortable, they feel like wearing nothing at all! Both sizes are comfy over my (currently) 37 week belly.
They are a little transparent for me to feel comfortable wearing them as shorts on their own, but I was mostly getting them for lounging at home and chub-rub under other clothes, so for that they're perfect.

More Resistance

I gave it 4 stars solely because I wished the leg/thigh part would have a little more resistance to not roll up so easily.

Truly love them and how they feel.
I feel it's a 4.80% in perfection. Otherwise with a little more resistance on edge of leg part would definitely be a 5 star product for us ladies of larger size. Please know they don't roll up too bad, really your product is almost perfect.
