Frequently Asked Questions

We know, right? It’s partly because of the clever construction of our women's cargo shorts, partly because of the first-rate fabric blend and partly because it supports your body without feeling constricting. Plus, IT HAS A POCKET.

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.

The pocket is made of the exact same fabric as the shorts, and sewn in with a flat seam that sits flush against your body. No added bulk aside from the treasures you decide to stash in it.

Light and comfortable

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The waist band does not press onto my skin, does not compress muscles and nerves, while still stays in place. All sportswear is designed to be tight, but I needed something that I won’t feel on my body to be able to wear it all day long. I love that Thigh Society created these shorts in exactly the way I would’ve designed them too.

The Cargo 5" Lapis

I love The Cargo shorts and have them in all lengths and colors. The Lapis color is such a beautiful rich and vibrant blue which is gorgeous. The Cargo shorts are a win all the way around. I wear them under my dresses for piece of mind, comfort, chaffing protection, and of course the added bonus of the pocket which I am able to conceal certain items because I never carry a purse. I love my Thigh Society Cargo shorts and recommend them to anyone seeking a high quality fabric blend that is top-rate and original in anti chafe, sweat protection, move with ease comfort with an added bonus of a side hip pocket.

The Cargo 7" Sandstone

I own every type of Thigh Society slip shorts available and love them all. I purchased different lengths according to what I plan to wear them with. They are all so comfortable and really do keep me from chaffing. This Sandstone color is a beautiful warm earthy neutral and is perfect for anyone wanting a neutral with a touch of color.

Best base layer after trying many other brands

I have used many different brands of a base layer and these are best I’ve ever tried. Completely comfortable and they do not ride up. I love the cargo option. I was able to fit my phone securely in there with no issues. I have the 7” and 5”.
