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.

Surprised it did what it claimed

I’m a big gal who recently wore these under a sundress in the Bahamas. I don’t do well in the heat and I was doubtful they would help but they kept me comfortable underneath. I wore them over my regular underwire because while cooling, there is no real support. They did stay in place nicely though. Also prevented sticky thighs very well. Expensive but I’d order again.

I love them but…

They’re not supposed to roll down but they do, at least on me. And it’s probably because I should have order a longer length, I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but they slide up. They don’t stay in place, so it lind of defeats the purpose. They’re not doing anything to prevent chafing because they keep sliding back up so I might as well not be wearing them. Probably not they’re fault but I am disappointed.

Life changer!!

I ordered these for my trip to Mexico so my legs wouldn’t chaff from walking around in the heat….. THEY HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE! I used to hate wearing shorts, but now that I have something ultra thin to wear underneath I am actually excited to wear shorts now! Thank you thigh society! I have a pair in black and a pair in blue and will definitely be ordering more!
