The Staple (maternity-friendly)

$40 USD

The Staple short is versatile for all life stages and so ultra-stretchy that it can even be worn through maternity and postpartum. The Staple slip short offers buttery-soft comfort with light support from early pregnancy to chasing after your toddler and beyond. Grab your regular size for the first trimester, size up for your second and third, and use either (or both!) when your bun is out of the oven.

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.

Hardly know they're there!

I got these to wear under skirts and when I saw it I thought it might be too small but they fit perfectly. I hardly know I have them on and there is no riding up with them either. Very comfortable, I ordered two pairs and no regrets!

It’s not breathable as I wanted but it’s lightweight, fits exactly on my body, and if it will last for a half of a year I will be really happy.

The best

I’ve tried 3 of the Thigh Society shorts now. This one, the staple, is still the best!
Need more colours please. Lots of colours.

7 and 9 inch shorts so comfy!

I love the 7 and 9 inch shorts. They stay in place and I forget I’m wearing them! I do not like the 5 inch shorts. They roll up and that makes them very uncomfortable. I also didn’t like the cotton shorts. They weren’t as stretchy and felt tight around the waist and legs.
