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.

Our slip shorts are 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.

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.

Our sheer leggings offer the moisture-wicking and cooling experience of our shorts with more leg coverage.

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.

Not as great as advertised

These are so thin my foot went through it on the first day. The second pair I bought was a bit thicker, (cotton) but doesnt stay put. It needs a gripper on tummy and thigh like other brands have.

SO comfortable

I love these, they are super comfortable and breathe better than expected. They are not for "compression" so don't expect "Spanx-like" shorts. They are super light and airy, I am 5'5" 158 lbs and ordered the M/L. They don't roll up or down, will order more!
