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.

Feels like you’re wearing nothing at all!

These were such a great purchase. I love them! My workplace has no air conditioning and these shorts are so light and breathable that they don’t make me feel hotter. In fact they help a lot with the heat because my thighs aren’t sticking together. I’m also 6 months pregnant and they don’t feel restrictive on my tummy but I know they’ll still fit postpartum because they’re super stretchy. The only thing is because they’re so light and breathable they’re a very delicate material and they get pulls on them kind of like a pantyhose material would. No runs just a couple little pulls, which isn’t a huge deal as I wear them under my clothes but something to note.

A blessing in disguise!

I bought both the 7” and 5” length and they both are very important to have in your closet. These have been a lifesaver. I was recently in Florida for a work trip and it was hot. We went to Epcot and I had on jean shorts and decided to put the 5” length underneath the shorts and wow I was amazed. It helped to control the sweat and the comfort of it all. I personally wear the 7” under dresses but the option of the 5” is also a necessity!!

Comfort

I wore this under my sun dress. So comfortable. Not tight on skin, so breathable. I bought the 9", it was a little long for my dress, but I still love it!

Confortable

I love how these feel against your skin. Very comfy and they do not ride up or down.
