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 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 underwear ever!

These are perfect pair for me... fabric is super comfortable and they are not too tight or too loose. Just wish stock levels were better.

Layering yes; wearing alone – not so much

Fit and (9") length is excellent. Very comfortable. I'm not sure I would buy this particular style again, though. Even though the Indigo colour I chose is suitably opaque, for "outer wear" use as visible leggings, I would be looking for a thicker and more compressive fabric. (The Cooling style, on the other hand, is great as underwear.)

Great

These are perfect to wear under a dress that’s just a tad too short for me to feel comfortable wearing in public. Add that to the no chub rub and it makes for a good day on vacation. Fast service and great quality are also a plus
