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.

Ladies hidden comfort secret!

If you want a comfortable biker short that isn't see through, that doesn't roll down, or ride up then these are for you. I ordered these as well as the cooling and if I could give a 100 stars I would.
I'm an extra plus size lady who has not had good luck with my undergarments until now. Soooo comfortable. The Almond are opaque so if you want to go without wearing underwear, you can feel secure that your tiny bits aren't gonna be seen. I cannot wear anything restrictive, so I'm always leary about ordering anything like these because let's be honest they look like a shaper short. BUT THEY ARE NOT. They are comfortable and make your jiggly bits happy WITHOUT being painfully tight. I guarantee you a 1000% you won't know you're wearing them. They run true to size. Go ahead treat yourself...I dare you. They are worth every penny.

Great slip short

They feel soft and prevent shafting under a skirt. I also wore them under a pair of pants and they helped hiding the unevenness of my cellulite. Love them!

So incredibly impressed

I have been on the hunt for shorts to wear with dresses forever, I've tried different types but these are hands down the best I've ever tried. They are so soft, so comfortable, I never want to take them off. Having the option of different lengths is really a lifesaver as well since I tend to feel like some shorts can be too short on me, or too long for certain dresses so it's nice to have additional options.

Love!

These were amazing and exceeded my expectations in every way. I wish slip shorts were more of a thing when I was younger. I wore these all day and night for my best friends wedding and felt so comfortable. I will be buying more!
