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 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.

Comfortable w Questions

As comfortable as they are
This is my 1st purchase of the original
Some pieces, specks are “splintered” in to the fabric, washing did not get them out
So I’d have to pull each piece out?!
I did not wash w a towel etc, not sure where they are coming from?!

Wonderfully Comfortable

Love the colours, high waist and comfort. Would buy even more if there was a medium support choice.

Great solution

I was looking for something like this - not shapewear, but something to wear under dresses, and this hit the mark. I also got the 7'" but I find the 9" better for me. These are super soft and breathable. Exactly what I was looking for.

A great product!

I recently traveled to Bali and took these along on the trip. Great quality, great fit, stays in place (no rolling up from the legs or rolling down from the top). Wore these off a short skirt and under a dress. Very happy with my purchase.
