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.

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.

Like a comfy hug around your waist

I love these shorts, I wear them with or without underwear, they are the most comfortable short I’ve ever owned to wear under my skirts and dresses. They’re not hot, no crotch sweat here, they don’t ride up anywhere, they just fit. Even though my thighs don’t rub a ton together, they will if it’s hot out and I love these for walking. I took them to Mexico and the comfort level was amazing. I have 6 pairs now and they wash and dry great. I don’t wear them everyday, but I look forward to the day if I am wearing them, they feel like a nice comfortable hug around my waist. Just got mom a pair, and now she loves them too!

Comfy, cute, perfect in hot weather

Sometimes I wear them just as shorts (where appropriate of course) since they’re opaque, but they’re thin enough to throw a skirt over and go, too.

Perfect for Travel

I only buy dresses with pockets, but it's great to have an interior pocket for things you don't want to have available to pickpockets. They fit like a dream and turn dresses from a sometimes outfit into daily wear. I love them!
