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.

Waist Band Does Roll

The legs don't roll which is great, but I'm finding the waist band does. Bit surprised at that after all the reviews that say it doesn't. For the price, I'm disappointed this is happening.

Don't mess with a good thing!

After purchasing a half dozen pair of "the Staple" in the 5" length, and feeling just so-so about them...they really did not stay put...I ordered 2 pair of the original in the 9" length and I am super IMPRESSED! They stay put, under anything, and feel great. I highly recommend and will be adding to my collection.

Very satisfied with order

For reference, I am 5'4 and 153 lbs. and the L/XL was a perfect fit. Not too tight or loose.

Love these

I bought several years ago and now I wanted more colors! They feel so comfortable and with a skirt I don’t have to be concerned about the wind! I can wear a short skirt and show off my bright blue shorts! I don’t like things tight across my abdomen so I order them up a size, they are comfortable and they aren’t falling off either.

Not the one for you?
