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.)

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.

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.

This is the holy grail of underwear

All I wanted was no VPL, full coverage for my rear, no wedgies, all day comfort (shapewear gets uncomfortable after a few hours) and ThighSociety delivered!! I think I have been searching for this all my adult life. Can you tell I am a convert?! Seriously, these are great for all the reasons above.

Love these

Bought 7 in leg length. Leg stays put, no ride up. Super comfy, feel wonderful and not too hot for where I live.

I tired every style

I’m new to thigh society so I ordered 4 pairs; one of each style. I washed them and wore them for a day (not just a simple try-on over other undies). Here is my takeaway.
1. The original - best structure, stays in place, wishing I had ordered 4 (or 10) of these
2. The cotton - decent. Moved around more than the original. Does not hold a candle to the structure on the original.
3. The staple - very soft fabric. Too flimsy for me. Didn’t really feel like anything was there. These slid around on me. Not coming out of the drawer again unless I’m out of everything else.
4. The cooling - my least favorite by far, these had the opposite of a cooling effect on me. The fabric is very thin and feels like a nylon- doesn’t feel like you’re wearing much at all. Did not stay in place. Probably will never be worn again.
BYW my name isn’t Lisa. I’m reviewing underwear here people. 🤷🏻‍♀️
