Frequently Asked Questions

We know, right? It’s partly because of the clever construction, partly because of the first-rate fabric blend, and partly because it supports your body without feeling constricting.

We’re glad you asked. Think of them as a combination between an old-school slip, a boxer brief and biker shorts: 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.

Awesome!

These are just the right thickness. I needed something for under my silk skirts and this is the perfect thickness for that, not too hot either, they are a win!

Most comfortable shorts

I absolutely love these shorts! They are extremely comfortable and very high quality. These will be great for walking in the summer. Perfect length too. Nice and thick but not too heavy. Very well made. Highly recommend!

I’ve bought that many of different styles I’ve lost count.

They are so, so comfortable. My one gripe, if you could call it a gripe is that it seems a thread comes loose in the same spot on every pair I own. Yet I bought another 2 pairs tonight 😂 in the main I buy the S/M but I’ve also bought M/L for added comfort on hot muggy nights.
