Your child's shorts are sagging. Do you say "Your shorts are coming out. Fix them!" or "Your shorts are coming off. Fix them!"?

We say "You put the shorts on" & "You take the shorts off"?

I am not sure if we can replace "put" & "take" with other verbs such as "slide", "come", etc.

For example, Your child's shorts are sagging.

Do you say "Your shorts are coming off. Fix them!".?

I am not sure if it is idiomatic to say "Your shorts are coming out" or "Your shorts are coming off"?
