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-cheap outfits, stop you inner thighs from trying to start a forest fire, and light smoothing with no VPL. Plus, the knit-in cotton-rich crotch means you can wear them without underwear if you want, eliminating the need for an extra layer.

Our shorts don't compress you or suck you in like shape wear. 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.

Yes. Glimly is built for thick thighs- that's literally the whole point. We carry sizes XS through 5XL, with a wide flat leg band that won't dig in, won't roll, and won't ride up no matter how much your thighs touch.
