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.

Would love to see a shorter length for us 5ft & under girls!
Soft and not too tight. Looking forward to trying these under dresses if summer ever comes in Alberta…
Waist band does roll down a bit for me, could be due to being short waisted.

I have not purchased yet. I like the idea of cooling. I am looking for something to replace panties to sleep in. I hate going without any to sleep though. So the idea of wearing these as pj bottoms with no panties is appealing. But $40 for a pair is no bueno. That’s a lot for “panties”.

The item is sized S/M but it's actually a small so it's a bit tight. Im not over weight and I'm in decent shape. Everything I wear is a medium.

These are awesome. Sheer, definitely see thru. Have not worn yet but tried them on. I like the fit. Much more true to size.

Muscular Legs: Size Up!

I wish I bought L/XL! I have muscular thighs but am always a M in shorts, I checked the size recommendations and bought 2 pairs of S/M, they are tight on me.
Good quality, I can tell the seams aren't going to roll! Not so comfy for me though as I am taking them to maximum stretch.

Not the one for you?
