The Staple

Frequently Asked Questions

These lounge shorts are downy soft and super stretchy, which makes them sort of irresistibly versatile—in other words, they’re so multifaceted, they could win an EGOT. (You know how magazines are always talking about “day to night” clothing? This is actually it.)

They're both! 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.

The Staple (maternity-friendly)

Frequently Asked Questions

These are buttery soft and stretch to twice their size without bagging or sagging, making them perfect to accommodate a growing belly during pregnancy and beyond.

Thigh Society shorties are totally bump-friendly — they don’t compress you or suck you in like shapewear. Instead, they’re a lightly smoothing, 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, and is designed to stay in place without rolling down. The waistband is like the Loch Ness Monster: you’ll doubt it really exists.

Our shorts stretch up to 2x their size without bagging or sagging, making them perfect for your pre-and-post-partum journey. We recommend sticking with your regular size for the first trimester, and sizing up for the second and third. Then you can continue wearing both once your baby is here!

Our shorts are made from the highest quality yarns that are soft and silky-smooth against the skin — even surgical scars. The Staple short acts as a light barrier, helping protect scars and stitches from snagging against your clothes.

Material not as expected

I didn’t expect these would feel like pantyhose and hoped they would have just a bit more structure to them. I may have ordered a size too big, but the double sizing is weird. I also didn’t realize before I ordered 2 pairs that I couldn’t return (my fault). I don’t want them to be like shapewear, but these are just too much like pantyhose and my legs feel like they’re still chafing a bit after wearing them at work all day.

Best Under Dresses

I adore my shorts! I have had the Cooling version for years and recently decided to try the Staple. I was worried they would be too thick or not allow the fabric of my dresses to glide over them but they are fantastic. They are ever so slightly thicker than the Cooling and they still have a silky texture that doesn’t grab the fabric of my dresses. I love these shorts so much and will never be without them.

I love the feeling of the short. They don’t have the same restricting feeling that a bike short or exercise tight do and they’re super comfy to wear all day!
