If I’m being completely honest, The Original Shorts weren’t my favorite of the bunch. I still found them super comfortable and functional — they definitely prevent chafing — but they are thicker and, in the spicy Los Angeles heat, I found that not as comfortable as the more lightweight styles. They’re definitely a better choice for more moderate climates. Like the other Thigh Society shorts, they’re available in split sizes. This wasn’t an issue with the first two pairs, but I don’t think these fit the same. I am usually a size small in bottoms and chose the small/medium option for all thress because I was concerned about feeling restricted. This size worked well for The Cooling Shorts and The Staple Shorts (they fits beautifully), but The Original’s waistbands weren’t as snug as I prefer with this type of garment and they slipped down a little more because of it. So, if you’re between sizes or not sure if you should go with the smaller or larger split size, I recommend sizing down in this style. Fortunately, the sizing concerns aren’t related to the overall quality and function of the garment. So, aside from choosing the wrong size for this style — and it being a balmy 95 degrees while testing — they’re super comfortable, protect against chafing, and provide ample coverage since they aren’t as sheer. Because they are thicker, they’re actually a great option if you already have a painful rash from chafing and need some extra padding between your legs to prevent further irritation and discomfort.Sizes Available: XS-6XLColors: 6Material: Nylon, Elastane, cotton
