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.)

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.

Very nice, but tighter than expected

I started out with a size S/M because my waist is 28” and my hips are 38” but it was too small and tight. Customer service was kind and did an exchange for me for a M/L and that worked better. Be aware that the bottom part is not seamless so it can be seen slightly under some dress pants. I have the Halara Straight Leg Work Pants and the seam can be seen ever so slightly underneath at the bottom of the 7” length which is kind of disappointing but they’re not unwearable. I’m just super picky about that kind of thing. These definitely prevent chafing though so that’s a plus. Overall I am pretty satisfied.

Amazing slip short

So pleased! Fits true to size unlike many competitors where you have to size up. Fabric is so soft and light, truly like a second skin that you forget you have on. Purchased mainly to eliminate panty lines under skirts and dresses. So comfy that I have used them as PJ bottoms this summer. Went with the Staple for my first pair because it's semi-sheer, not sure how confident I would feel in the cooling short that is sheer. Will highly recommend to friends and family.

These are life changing

I am in my late second trimester in the summer and ordered these. They are life changing. They are soo soft and thin but don’t ride up etc. I ordered 2 initially and just ordered 2 more including the cotton ones to sleep in. 10/10 stars

excellent shorts

I already own quite a few of these but this time I got the longer length - 9" - and it's very comfy.
