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.

Best of the lot.

I have tried a number of long line underwear and these come out on top by miles. Comfy, stretchy; I forget I am wearing them until I am outside and the wind blows my skirt. They stay up without tugging and work with or without panties.

Worth every penny!!

As a woman who can’t stand pretty much any type of underwear, these are a 10/10. No rolling, pinching, no wedgies!! I got the 9” just in case it did roll etc and I have no regrets about getting the longer ones. If I need them a bit shorter, I just pull them up in the leg area. I machine wash and hand wash also and hang to dry. They dry super fast.

Was on the fence a long time

So I had watched these a couple years now. I finally ordered one cooling and one staple a few weeks ago in the 7". Sizing was spot on. I think I like the cooling better than the staple but over all both are good. I did find the 7" to be a little bit too short on my legs so they rolled a little bit. I just reordered 3 more, one staple and two cooling and went with the 9". Definitely a better length if your thighs are thick like mine are. I had been wearing bike shorts under my dresses for years and haven't been able to replace them as they are discontinued. Most wore out or got too big as I've lost weight. Since they fit a little bit looser, it's taking me a hot second to get used to the second skin thigh society. But overall I think I like them as a suitable replacement.

Awesome!

I’ve tried other ways to prevent chafing and I’m so glad I took the chance on these! I love summer dresses and these do not roll up on legs or down on belly. Super comfortable and easy to wash.
Recommend 10/10!

Love them!

I have several pair of the Staple 9" thigh shorts and love them. The fabric is soft and doesn't cling to other apparel. I wear them every day and will order more in the future
