Why don't Skanties roll like other anti-chafe shorts?

In this video, the product designer explains why their anti‑chafe shorts, called Skanties, do not roll up like typical anti‑chafe shorts. The key difference is that Skanties are constructed by cutting and sewing panels shaped to the human body, similar to bike shorts, rather than being knitted as a continuous tube. This structural sewing creates shaped panels and reinforced seams that both finish the garment and keep it in place, preventing the rolling issue. The designer emphasizes that proper sizing is essential—incorrectly sized shorts will roll, but the correct size will stay put. Viewers are invited to contact the designer with any sizing questions.

Why don't scanties roll like all of the other ones? And this is about how I've designed them. I structurally designed them to be sewn like bike shorts, not— the reason things roll is because they're actually knitted by a machine, so they don't have a pattern that is structurally designed to sit and be on the same way with the curves. So like, they are cut with your body shape, not just a straight tube. No one is a straight tube, which is why the ones that are knitted roll up and roll down, is because they're not structurally designed to be the shape of a human body. I am really proud of them, and they have been tried and tested for years and years and years. They do not roll up and they do not ride down. That's the wrong way around, but you know what I mean. Because of the structural sewing and the seams on the leg actually do 2 jobs. They make a nice finish and they also keep them structurally in place. If your scanties are rolling up, they are not sized correctly. The correct size will not roll up on you. Please contact me if you have any sizing issues or queries.
