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.

Comfy but waist rolls down

I like the feel of my Thigh Society underwear. As a TALL woman I would like a longer rise. The waist band isn’t very wide and it rolls down when I wear them.

Can’t take them off

I LOVE these anti-chafe shorts. Great under dresses, jumpers and scrubs. Really looking forward to having them for my summer pregnancy this year. Going to get a few more cotton pairs!l

great as a gift

I bought 2 Cargo shorts as a birthday gift. I was pretty sure of the sizing and since it's s/m, I knew it would fit. I love mine. She loved the 2 I gave her and is taking them on her trip to the Bahamas. It's perfect for that weather.

Surprisingly

Thick and sturdy. I had only had the cooling ones before. They’re much thinner. These are more like bike shorts, and hold a little jiggle from jiggling, in a good way, without being constricting. I haven’t used the pocket yet.

Just as described

These are so stretchy and comfortable and versatile. I can wear them under any thing and all by themselves at home. They are comfortable to sleep in and they fit perfectly because of their stretch.
