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.

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.

So comfortable!

Wore these for the first time under a pair of palazzo pants. I can’t believe how comfortable they are . Sizing is perfect!

Sturdy, soft and easy to wear

I bought two pairs of these shorts to replace the thick bike shorts that I used to wear under my dresses and skirts. These are so much more comfortable! I know they're not meant to be cooling, but they are much cooler than the old bike shorts. I bought the 5" and 7" lengths, but have found that I prefer the 7" length to avoid thigh-chafing. These are also the only shorts that have a wasitband that doesn't roll down.

Wonderful fit

I ordered the Origial in black and they fit perfectly. Very comfortable and no ridding up or rolling waist. I have 6 pairs now. I will order again.

Amazing!

After trying several pairs of anti chafe shorts (including some high end ones) I was pleasantly surprised by these! They are incredibly comfortable and don’t roll or budge at all. Exactly what I wanted for under dresses and skirts. I’m hoping to get a second pair
