Frequently Asked Questions

Well, to start, they’re silky smooth under any outfit. But more importantly, if you run hot—and are one of those people who’s constantly setting the thermostat to “meat locker” temperature—these are going to be a revelation.

They’re made of hi-tech fabric that lowers the body temperature. (If you want to get geeky about it, the flat cross-section of the yarn offers a wide surface area that quickly releases body heat from your skin.) The yarn texturizing process gives the shorts incredible breathability; the finished ultra-thin fabric is a breeze to wear, literally.

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.

Best slip Ever!

Soft, does not roll up or down. So cool under my dress in this hot summer. I’m so glad I bought 2 pairs. Please don’t hesitate this is a must purchase! I’m usually size 8/medium. I went with the M/L fits perfect

Perfection

Honestly, these are so comfy and great in the summer under a dress. Far exceeding my expectations.
So happy I got two pairs black and beige.

100 degrees and happy!

My first experience wearing this brand was to a black attire wedding reception in Boise when it was literally 100 degrees outside. The venue was warm inside and we also had to step outside to pick up our dinner meal. I was extremely pleased with the 5” Cooling shorts- very soft, very comfortable and I didn’t sweat through them , which thrilled me. I’ve recommended them to others since! PS- I’m 200 lbs, 6’ tall , wear a 16 and the L/XL fit very well .

No more swamp butt!!!

Oh. My. Gosh. These are like heaven on earth for sweaty Bettys!!! I just took two pairs (7" and 9") on a 2 week very active tour of Europe in 90-102 degree heat, where we walked, climbed, rode crowded metros, and spent most of our time at sites, restaurants, and hotels that did not have a/c. My other "cooling" undies, including highly rated Duluth armachillo cooling underwear, did not even compare to these!!! I just cannot say enough good about them. They are so comfortable you forget they are on. They smooth your bum with no lines. They stay put, and don't ride up. The waistband does not cut you in half. They BREATHE. They keep your booty and bits from growing guppies in the swamp. They keep away the stink. And for travelers who have to pack really light, they wash in the sink easily and hang dry overnight. I want MORE!!!

HORRIBLE - Don't fall for it.....

too tight (so def size up); rolls (even though they're advertised not to); not comfortable AT ALL (even the fabric is itchy, not soft); purchased 2, so I could have a light pair & a dark pair, but had NO IDEA they weren't returnable (wish I'd purchased ONE pair & tried them first, before spending even MORE money on the other pair) - SO Disappointed :(
