Frequently Asked Questions

Well, to start, they’re silky smooth under any outfit. But more importantly, if you run hot—and are one of those people who’s constantly setting the thermostat to “meat locker” temperature—these are going to be a revelation.

They’re made of hi-tech fabric that lowers the body temperature. (If you want to get geeky about it, the flat cross-section of the yarn offers a wide surface area that quickly releases body heat from your skin.) The yarn texturizing process gives the shorts incredible breathability; the finished ultra-thin fabric is a breeze to wear, literally.

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.

Very Disappointed

I like how soft they are; however, that's all I like about them. The waist rolls down and the legs shimmy up. Fortunately, no wedgies but still have to fuss with them. Very disappointed considering the high price.

I love the rosette color and the mesh fabric, the weight of them is perfect for hot weather and the 5” inseem is nice. The waist is not quite high waisted, and I think they’d be a little more comfortable if they were cut a little higher. But the bummer is they don’t really stay in place on my thighs when I’m walking. I’m a size 10/12, pear shape with thick thighs. I got the M/L shorts. I think that’s the right size based on my body. So I’m not sure why the thighs ride up. I just expected that even on my thick thighs, you’d have it figured out.

17" Cooling Shorts

Very comfortable but they were not long enough for me, they rolled up and I needed them not to roll up over my big knee area...so I bought the longer 21" size and I love them the best.

I love the new 21" cooling shorts...They are comfort and I have big legs around my knees and when I put them on they stretch over this part of my legs and fit perfectly ..thank you for making them this long

Good fit, itchy seams, questionable construction

There are two seams on each leg in the inner thigh area, and sadly for me they are very irritating. I'm hoping they soften up after a few wears because after an initial wash and wear I ended wanting to rip them off after a few hours. I got the cotton version in the same size and found those to be very comfortable, so it's not the sizing that's the problem. The other thing is the construction, straight out of the bag there were small fine strings unraveling from a raw edge that didn't get stitched down well. I snipped them off, but found myself snagging them when handwashing. I also don't find them anymore cool than the cotton. I'll probably be getting another pair of cotton, but I'm afraid the cooling is probably a waste of money.

Not the one for you?
