Why Skanties

Skanties will become your best friend.

Skanties are more than just underwear.

They're a unique hybrid of super-thin bike shorts and cotton underwear. Why combine the two? Because Susie created a product that does more than the sum of its parts. Wearing bike shorts to stop chafe under a dress is hot, and you still need underwear underneath — another layer. By combining them, Susie made an underwear style you never knew you needed.

We know this because over 10,000 women have told us.

Hand sewn, not machine produced
Made with care, pair by pair.
A genuinely sized cotton panel, not a token strip
Real breathable cotton, right where it matters.
Founder led
Created by a woman who knew what she needed but couldn't find it anywhere.
Thoughtfully sized to US22
Designed for real, changing bodies.
Price per wear
Yes, they cost more than mass-produced options — the structural design and specialist sewing are what achieve this unique combination. But they'll be the pair you reach for, day after day. A cheap pair that doesn't quite do the job gets very expensive sitting at the back of your drawer.
