Frequently Asked Questions

Our shorts are made of a mix of Pima—the champagne of cottons, which is extra-soft and extra-durable—and modal, a natural fiber that's resistant to shrinkage and pilling. Together, they create a texture that’s as luxurious and velvety as a Sade song.

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.

Worth it!

I had to work in 32C and humidity and the cooling shorts were amazing. Will definitely be ordering more.

This is the 3rd style I have now purchased and I really like the larger waste band on these. I had questions about my order and the customer service support was amazing.

A favourite among many

After trying many different versions of long underpants, these are the best. Others have promised not to ride up, rolling like a touriquet on the thigh, these actual do what they say and stay in place. They are stretchy enough to fit all the way to the waist and stay there. I love them.

So soft, so smooth!

I own under-the-dress shorts from other companies and nothing beats The Cooling shorts. They are the soft, smooth and thin. T best part- they do not move, shift, ride up or fall down.
I have the 9” and the 12”… I am 6’1” and find the 12” fit me, length-wise, like a 9” on the models.
