| 13 | ->''"I'm not wearing underwear today\ |
| 14 | No, I'm not wearing underwear today\ |
| 15 | Not that you probably care\ |
| 16 | Much about my underwear\ |
| 17 | Still nonetheless I gotta say:\ |

| 20 | |
| 21 | Simply put, a character isn't wearing underwear for some reason. According to [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_commando "'Going commando' is reputed to have begun with commando and other special forces military units, in which some soldiers stopped wearing underwear to prevent chafing."]] |
| 22 | |
| 23 | When a male does it, it's generally played [[NakedPeopleAreFunny for humor]], [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday squick]], [[MrFanservice arousal]] or if he's wearing a [[ManInAKilt kilt]], in which it's known as "Going Regimental". [[DoubleStandard When a female does it]], it's usually treated as fetish material, though it ''might'' be PlayedForLaughs as well. Going braless, in general, is a different story ("going commando" means no under''pants'') -- that said, bralessness can be played for the same purposes, and is included in the examples on this page. Lack of underwear may also be averted or lampshaded in the case of a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal of either sex. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | If it is obvious that a character is '''Going Commando''' and/or it is played for {{Fanservice}} purposes, it is VaporWear. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Compare NakedInMink, DiamondsInTheBuff, FullFrontalAssault (for when the fighter decides to forgo more than his boxers). |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Other names for Going Commando can be identically separate in these variations as well, e.g. "Free(-)balling" is for Males and "Free(-)buffing" is for Females. |

| 36 | * One ad campaign for Cottonelle toilet paper has this trope in mind. Some patrons featured have shown (in a SFW manner) that they didn't have underwear on. |
| 37 | [[/folder]] |

| 39 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 40 | * In ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis: Tokyo 2040'', the Knights Saber are at first commando in their plug suits. Later, they don't even get plugsuits and are naked under their upgraded power armor (which is now transparent in places). Lampshaded by Sylia when she tells Mackie that "he's in the girls' changing room" when they're discussing it, and a totally flustered Mackie runs away all red-faced. |
| 41 | * In ''Literature/GrimgarOfFantasyAndAsh'', Haruhiro's group did this since they can't afford to buy more clothes. |
| 42 | * ''Literature/HensukiAreYouWillingToFallInLoveWithAPervertAsLongAsShesACutie'': |
| 43 | ** In Episode 9, Sayuki goes on a date with Keiki without wearing panties for the thrill of it, which is why she spends the entire date self-conscious about her skirt. |
| 44 | ** In fifth grade, Mizuha forgot to bring panties to change into after swim class and she had to spend the entire day like that, which she found liberating. Afterwards, she often goes to school without panties and secretly takes strip tease selfies in order to experience this feeling of liberation. This habit is also the reason why her panties were left behind with her love letter. |
| 45 | * To the surprise of no one, the standard combat uniform of ''Anime/KillLaKill'''s resident [[LaResistance resistance group]], Nudist Beach, does not include underwear. In fact, their organization's insignia is a crossed-out speedo. |
| 46 | * ''Literature/LogHorizon'' mentions this being true at first: apparently, Adventurer outfits do not come with underwear of any kind. Once the Adventurers work out how to produce goods in this world, underwear ''immediately'' becomes a best-selling clothes item, particularly among female Adventurers. |
| 47 | * During the second New Year's chapter of ''[[Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid Life]]'', both Fate and Einhart end up wearing kimonos without any underwear (the former because of a misconception when she was a child and the latter because the former dressed her). And then Einhart ends up having a WardrobeMalfunction while out in public. |
| 48 | * The manga ''Manga/ShiritsuHakanaiGakuen'' begins with Hanao placing a ban on underwear after becoming class president, making it mandatory for all students at the school to go commando. |
| 49 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' has the pilots commando [[JustifiedTrope when in their plugsuits]]. Confirmed in the first ''Rebuild'' movie. |
| 50 | * ''Anime/{{Godannar}}'' has the pilots commando when in their spandex piloting outfits. Confirmed in the last few episodes. |
| 51 | * ''Manga/YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitches'': After introducing herself as the seventh witch, Rika Saionji asks if Yamada always goes commando. Embarrassed, he realizes this was [[CovertPervert Shiraishi]]'s doing [[FreakyFridayFlip while switching bodies]]. Rika's not shy to admit to being a pervert herself for doing the same thing, claiming to have accidentally come to school without panties on one occasion and found the experience so thrilling that she hasn't worn any ever since. She then tells him that he shouldn't hide his true self around her since they're both the same, to which Yamada vehemently disagrees to the prospect of "free balling". As she's leaving, a [[MarilynManeuver breeze]] comes through showing that she was telling the truth. |
| 52 | * ''Manga/YuuutsuKunToSuccubusSan'': Eru's top is a shirt with long sleeves that only goes down past her breasts. A long gown covers the rest of her body from the stomach down. In a moment of ACupAngst, Sakuma flips her "boob skirt" and unwittingly discovers that Eru doesn't wear anything underneath. The humiliation of the moment leaves Eru huddled in a fetal position next to, and just like, the chronically depressed Yuu. |

| 55 | [[folder:Comedy]] |
| 56 | * Creator/JeffFoxworthy did a stand-up routine about this trope and gender roles. When a woman mentions that she's not wearing underwear, it's a turn-on for men. When a man mentions not wearing underwear, the reaction from women [[DoubleStandard is quite different.]] |
| 57 | -->'''Jeff:''' ''[as a distraught wife]'' Good Lord, I'm going to have to wash those pants ''twice''! |
| 58 | [[/folder]] |
| 59 | |
| 60 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 61 | * In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Mei Hatsume is a {{Cyborg}} and her legs are fully mechanical. So when Mei is embedded in the ceiling, janitor Hana Aoi doesn't see any panties on her when she looks up. |
| 62 | * In ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12376820/1/The-Naked-Truth The Naked Truth,]]'' an Akuma attack occurs when both Marinette and Adrien are taking a shower, and they transform without putting anything on. When their powers run out after defeating the Akuma, they rush into an alley to sneak away... only to end up in the same alley right when they turn back to normal... butt-naked as well to their horror. |
| 63 | [[/folder]] |

| 65 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 66 | * ''Literature/BodiesAreWhereYouFindThem'': A plot point. When the authorities find the body of murder victim Helen Stallings, she was wearing a dress and nothing underneath. Shayne eventually figures out that she was a prisoner at Dr. Patterson's insane asylum—a high-class girl like Helen would hardly be likely to go out without wearing underwear, but the patients at Patterson's BedlamHouse aren't allowed underwear and only wear their jump suits. |
| 67 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', werewolves, for ease in transformation, tend to dress in sweatshirts and sweatpants (male) and knit dresses (female), and nothing else |
| 68 | * ''Literature/UniversalMonsters'': Referenced in book 5 -- when Captain Bob has to serve detention and won't have time to pack extra clothes before they leave that afternoon, he says he'll just borrow some of his friend Skylar's (since that's who they're visiting). When Joe asks about underwear, Captain Bob shrugs it off and says he just won't wear any. It's subverted when Nina ends up delaying the trip so he can clean off the chalk dust he's gotten covered in, and gets a chance to pack as a result. |

| 71 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 72 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 73 | ** In [[Recap/DoctorWho60thASTheGiggle "The Giggle"]], due to the effects of [[spoiler: the bi-generation splitting the Doctor's clothes between the two of them]], the Fourteenth Doctor is implicitly not wearing underwear under his pants. |
| 74 | * ''Series/{{Friends}}'': |
| 75 | ** Joey does it. It's mentioned a few times. |
| 76 | ** Joey was once wearing [[ItMakesSenseInContext Chandler's pants]] -- not just a ''pair'' of Chandler's pants, but ''[[DisproportionateRetribution all of Chandler's pants]]''. But prior to the pants-wearing, it's invoked by name to explain why Joey can't wear a rental tux after Chandler [[EscalatingWar hid all the clothing Joey owned but wasn't wearing]]. |
| 77 | --->'''Joey:''' ...and [[TemptingFate I'm not]] Going Commando [[HypocriticalHumor in another man's fatigues]]! |
| 78 | ** Ross was trying to get everyone ready for an important (black tie) work event he needs to be at. It's almost a disaster especially with Ross's loss of patience over Rachel's inability to decide what to wear. At the very end of the episode, Rachel finally chooses a skintight dress and, as a form of titillation, she tells Ross she's going commando just as she walks out the door. |
| 79 | ** In one episode, Phoebe is dating a guy who consistently wears loose shorts without underwear, causing the other guys to recoil in horror every time he sits down and puts his foot on the table and ends up flashing everybody. He then consistently [[ObliviousToHints fails to notice]] their increasingly desperate attempts to avoid mentioning it openly, until at last Gunther happens by: |
| 80 | --->'''Gunther:''' Hey buddy, this is a family place. Put the mouse back in the house. |
| 81 | ** Chandler once dated a woman (played by Creator/JuliaRoberts) who suggested that he wore her underwear instead of his. It was treated as though she had a fetish for it. It is hinted that she went commando during the dinner date. It was actually a plot to humiliate him. |
| 82 | ** Joey and Ross wind up hanging from a fire escape in one episode with Ross clinging to Joey's legs and refusing to let himself drop down. Joey gets Ross to let go by telling him that his pants are starting to come down and he's not wearing any underwear. |
| 83 | * An episode of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' has the "Scotsman with Nae Trews Exhibit", in which little old ladies stand in line to take a quick peek under said Scotsman's kilt, then walk away looking impressed. |
| 84 | * The werewolves and other shapeshifters in ''Series/TrueBlood'' don't wear underpants. According to WordOfGod, this is for practical reasons (presumably they are in the way when you need to shift forms quickly). Oddly enough, these "practical reasons" don't seem to stop female shifters from wearing bras. |
| 85 | [[/folder]] |

| 87 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 88 | * The song "I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today" from ''Theatre/AvenueQ''. |
| 89 | [[/folder]] |
| 90 | |
| 91 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 92 | * Theoretically, given that of all the characters shown undressed during the sex scenes in the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' trilogy everyone who is shown wearing underwear is human, we have no evidence anyone else wears underwear at all. It could be merely a human invention. |
| 93 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Gardevoir and Gothitelle, two feminine-looking Pokémon that both appear to be wearing dresses. Since the "dresses" are part of their bodies, they don't wear anything underneath (not that there's really anything under them). |
| 94 | [[/folder]] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 97 | * In ''VisualNovel/ShinraiBrokenBeyondDespair'', Kotoba's dislikes include wearing underwear. |
| 98 | [[/folder]] |
| 99 | |
| 100 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 101 | * In ''Webcomic/TalesToBehold'', few of the characters, male or female, bother with underwear. |
| 102 | [[/folder]] |
| 103 | |
| 104 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 105 | * The ImageMacro characters "Foul Bachelor Frog" and "Foul Bachelorette Frog" are mentioned as doing this, most commonly when they've run out of clean underwear and [[TheSlacker can't be bothered]] to do laundry or even buy more. |
| 106 | [[/folder]] |
| 107 | |
| 108 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 109 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' GrandFinale "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.", Sector J (which has both male and female operatives) are shown to have successfully captured a Wedgiesaurus Rex. When their leader Numbuh One-Love is asked how this was possible, he replies that none of them wear underwear. The scene cuts away as he drops his pants to prove it. |

| 113 | [[folder:Advertising]] |
| 114 | * A 2007 Ukrainian advertisement for Russian telecommunications company Beeline includes a scene with several couples dancing, cutting to a very low shot just as one dancer performs a twirl that [[MarilynManeuver makes her dress fly way up]]. In one version of the ad, this dancer is wearing white panties, while in a second version with a slightly different voiceover, she isn't wearing any panties at all. When this version reached the Internet and quickly became quite widespread, the company responded to the ensuing scandal by claiming that it was the result of digital image editing. |
| 115 | * Creator/BrookeShields had a famous commercial with the statement "Nothing comes between me and my Calvin Kleins". |
| 116 | * A Rover MG commercial has girl's skirt blow up due to two guy's zooming by in a car, revealing her to be under this trope. That being said, the most naughty bits are covered by a [[CensorShadow censor shadow]]. |
| 117 | [[/folder]] |
| 118 | |
| 119 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 120 | * ''Manga/ArcadeGamerFubuki''. Fubuki had to go through this trope when her panties were stolen in episode two. |
| 121 | * Natsu-Megu from ''Manga/AsTheGodsWill'' doesn't wear panties under a skirt. |
| 122 | * In ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'', several of the female characters wear pretty low-cut clothing (for the standards of [[TheGreatDepression the time]]), and almost none of them seem to have anything on underneath. |
| 123 | * Yamada does this on purpose in an early episode of ''Manga/BGataHKei''. Then she asks her [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend totally not boyfriend]] Kosuda if he likes girls who go around without panties, but runs away before he can answer. Then at the end, he confronts her, slamming open the door and demanding to know the meaning behind the question... and the wind from the door blows up her skirt, and suddenly everything makes sense. |
| 124 | * ''Manga/BlackGod'': Since Kuro is extremely sheltered, she does not really understand underwear and cannot be convinced to wear it. |
| 125 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': |
| 126 | ** During Renji's flashback to how he met Rukia, Rukia enters his life by tripping up the adult chasing down Renji's gang. Her high kicks and split kimono reveal that she's wearing nothing underneath it. |
| 127 | ** When Riruka prepares to leave at the end of the Fullbringer arc, the wind briefly blows up her skirt, revealing her bare butt. |
| 128 | * ''Manga/BusoRenkin'': Towards the end of the series there is a brief fanservice scene of [[ActionGirlfriend Tokiko]] getting ready for a mission, which briefly shows that she doesn't wear any underwear beneath either her casual clothes, or her signature SailorFuku uniform. |
| 129 | * ''Manga/CaheDetectiveClub'': Miyu isn't usually concerned about her panties showing. However one day she forgot to bring them to change after swimming class. This made her embarrassed and careful about what she does until her swimsuit can dry for half the day. The next day after her ordeal, she made sure not to forget them... by [[HereWeGoAgain wearing them under her swimsuit]]. |
| 130 | * ''Manga/CaseClosed'': |
| 131 | ** Whenever Shiho/Ai goes to her original body, she has enough luck to find clothes at all, but she has to go around without any underwear. |
| 132 | ** There is one chapter where she returned to her child body without any child-sized clothing around after doing a dangerous task on her own, which also caused her to fall unconscious. However, it turns out Conan is secretly following and watching her to ensure she is safe, and it's obvious that until the end of the chapter, even when she is already conscious again, all she's wearing is Conan's jacket. |
| 133 | * ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': |
| 134 | ** Kanzaki Kaori wears ''no'' undergarments whatsoever (bra, panties, or socks). When Touma destroyed Index's outfit when they first met, she wasn't wearing undergarments. Oriana Thompson arranges her clothes in a way to make it clear she doesn't have anything underneath. |
| 135 | ** ...and in ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'', Kiyama Harumi wears a bra but no panties. Plus there was one time Kuroko [[PowerPerversionPotential teleported off Mikoto's undergarments]]. |
| 136 | *** {{Clothing Damage}} during the climax of the Daihasei Festival arc reveals that Shokuho Misaki goes braless under her PE uniform. |
| 137 | * Run in ''Manga/AChannel'' discovers she accidentally forgot to put socks on ''both'' feet, while bending down to take the one sock off, Tooru, standing behind her, discovers Run forgot something ''else'' too. |
| 138 | * Chii in ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'' is naked when she's first picked up by Hideki. He gives her his own clothing immediately and is given "hand me downs" from Miss Hibeya but she's definitely lacking underwear. Buying her some is the plot of an entire episode. The fact that she has no clue what a bra is is brought up later. In the manga when she gives Yumi her work uniform she's noticeably topless. This was {{bowdlerise}}d in the anime to where she's finally wearing a bra. |
| 139 | * In ''Anime/CrossAnge'', Ange is captured by Embryo and forced to strip naked. While escaping, she knocks out Salia and steals her uniform. Since Salia was in her underwear when discovered, that meant Ange wasn't wearing anything underneath. |
| 140 | * ''Literature/DateALive'': |
| 141 | ** Tohka did not wear a bra for several months after her powers were sealed due to not knowing their purpose. After she switched to the lighter summer uniform Shidou noticed and quickly corrected her, pointing out the trouble she'd have if her white uniform shirt got wet. |
| 142 | ** In Season 3, during a date between Shidou and Origami, Origami teases him by saying she's not wearing anything under her clothes, and partially opens her jacket to prove it. |
| 143 | * In the dub of ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', BridgeBunnies Riley (Reika) and Tally (Megumi) find Calumon running around the control room. And then... |
| 144 | -->'''Calumon:''' Calumon, zoom zoom, here a zoom, there a zoom! Calumon, zoom zoom, NO UNDERWEAR, ZOOM! |
| 145 | * Early in ''Manga/DragonBall'', [[WildChild Goku]] once removed Bulma's panties while she was sleeping (and freaked out because he thought [[NoSocialSkills her balls had been cut off]]) and she remained unaware of it. When [[DirtyOldMan Muten Roshi]] asked to see her panties in exchange for his Dragon Ball, she lifted her skirt in front of him. It was only after she and Goku returned to their capsule house that she realized she had been going commando since the previous night, and it only got worse for her when she realized what Roshi really saw. She let Goku have it upon finding out that it was he who took them off. |
| 146 | * ''Manga/FairyTail'': |
| 147 | ** Erza often doesn't wear underwear and is even quite fascinated by Lucy's large selection of underwear ([[CovertPervert especially the sexy ones]]). It is greatly played for {{Fanservice}} when she [[spoiler:is turned into a child by some weird magic during the Sun Village arc. Her skirt, armor, and boots become too big for her and fall off, though her shirt doesn't fall off but is now big enough to act like a dress. When she is turned back, it becomes obvious that she didn't wear panties under her skirt, and with her skirt now being too short to cover her lower body, she fights completely bottomless for a while and [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl isn't even especially ashamed]] about it]]. |
| 148 | ** Juvia's outfit in the Tartaros arc consists of a coat and pretty much nothing else. The leg-line on it is so high it goes past her hips and up into her waist, showing there's nothing at all down there beneath that coat. |
| 149 | * ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'': When everyone gets ready for a festival, Rin Tohsaka pranks Luvia Edelfelt by telling her yukata are traditionally worn without underwear. Later, when they are talking to Shirou, Rin says only a complete pervert would go out in public with no underwear. Nearby, Illya is horrified to hear this, and a WardrobeMalfunction reveals she wasn't wearing any either. |
| 150 | * In the ending animation for ''Anime/GalileiDonna'' Hozuki is shown to be only wearing a pair of overalls with no visible signs of underwear. |
| 151 | * ''Manga/GhostTalkersDaydream'': Misaki part-times as a columnist for a porn magazine[[note]]she moonlights as a dominatrix at the Ropongi S&M Club[[/note]] and gets reminded that the prize that the company is supposed to send to a reader is a pair of her panties. Since she hadn't brought any spare ones, she leaves the ones she was wearing. A few minutes later, she stumbles over the power cord of the janitor's floor buffer and falls down, [[Funny/GhostTalkersDaydream giving him an unobstructed view of her nether region.]] |
| 152 | * ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer Motto Love Love Sakusen'' implies that Saemonza and Oryou of Hippo Team forgo underwear on the basis that it wasn't regular women's wear in the Sengoku and Bakumatsu Eras. |
| 153 | * ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'': At one point, Fuyutsuki's panties are stolen by three students, who then spread the word that she isn't wearing underwear. |
| 154 | * One episode of ''Anime/{{Grenadier}}'' had Rushuna get her panties shot off. The poor girl ended up running around the battlefield with her hand on her crotch while wailing [[BigNo "NOOOOO!!!"]] (Bad enough she ran out of ammo before it happened.) |
| 155 | ** In the manga version, she didn't seem to mind much, and quickly forgot about it. With predictable results. |
| 156 | * Female haibane from ''Anime/HaibaneRenmei'' can't wear bras because of their [[WingedHumanoid wings]]. |
| 157 | * The [[BonusMaterial omake]] side story of ''Manga/HatsukoiLimited'' is about [[CuteClumsyGirl Andou Soako]] going through an entire (school) day without her undergarments, and trying to keep anyone from finding out. |
| 158 | * In ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'', anime and manga, Sohara goes around like that for a whole episode/chapter. Against her will. She's also unable to wear any underwear... anything whatsoever in fact... and if she tries it flies away. Literally. That's just the kind of show it is. Never give magic powers to a perverted protagonist. |
| 159 | * In ''Manga/HekikaiNoAiON'', Seine spends half the 5th chapter without panties [[JustifiedTrope because those were her only pair and got ruined]]. She also seems to use no bra. |
| 160 | * Shiro from ''Manga/TheHelpfulFoxSenkoSan'' is proudly advertised in her introductory chapter as wearing no panties, and the way she's drawn and the shots are composed frequently provide evidence. Part of it is possibly because she's a ''kitsune'' demi-goddess. |
| 161 | * ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'': Kuroka doesn't wear any undergarments under her kimono, as she demonstrates in one scene where she drops her kimono to go SkinnyDipping. However, in the manga version, she does have underwear. |
| 162 | * ''Literature/InfiniteStratos'': In one episode, the device that Charlotte uses to transform her clothes into her PoweredArmor malfunctions, so any panties she tries to put on disintegrate. She is too embarrassed to tell anybody about this, and the reason why she doesn't just remove the device is that she wants to be ready to transform to protect Ichika from any threats. So she spends the whole day trying desperately to not let anyone know she isn't wearing panties. At the end, she decides to be honest and let Ichika know, but Laura out of nowhere lifts her skirt. Fortunately, the device had sorted itself out and gave her back her panties. |
| 163 | * [[TheHero Jolyne Cujoh]] from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean'' tends to not wear panties, typically by complete accident. When her cellmate, Gwess, tells her that she forgot to put panties on, Jolyne freaks out and high-tails it to the top bunk to put some on. |
| 164 | * Teenage hit-woman Chinatsu from ''Manga/{{Jormungand}}'' never wears panties to a fight, which comes as a shock to most of the rival characters who often don't notice until they're in the middle of a pitched gun battle. She does, however, have a good excuse for it... |
| 165 | -->'''Chinatsu:''' The first job I ever did with Master, the target's house was on the far side of a river. Skulking around in wet undies felt ''gross''. So I snuck away and took them off. I hit ''everything'' I aimed at that day. I even shot better than Master did. He ''complimented'' me for it.\ |
| 166 | '''Koko Hekmatyar:''' ''[snicker]'' Y-you're a ''better'' shot ''without'' underwear? ''[snort]''\ |
| 167 | '''Chinatsu:''' That's right.\ |
| 168 | '''Koko Hekmatyar:''' Bwa ha ha! That's a ''great'' story! |
| 169 | * Secondary character and ActionGirl Masaki from ''Manga/JoujuuSenjinMushibugyou'' wears a rather short skirt which nicely display her legs, coated in armored stocking (you read that right) and has a very acrobatic kick-based fighting style. As confirmed by a Manga Omake made shortly after her debut, she's not wearing any type of underwear, though the shots where she should be flashing the reader ([[ShamelessFanserviceGirl including the one where demonstrates her lack of panties in said Omake]]) have her crotch deeply shaded so that nothing is seen. |
| 170 | * In ''Anime/{{K}}'', [[CatGirl Neko]], the resident {{CloudCuckooLander}} InnocentFanserviceGirl forgets her panties in HOMRA's headquarters. Somehow. Despite the fact that she is very pretty and sometimes fanservicey, this is treated as humorous - mostly at the expense of the character who volunteers to return her stuff without realizing ''exactly what it was'' she'd left there. |
| 171 | * Shigure from ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple''. She never wears a bra. However, when fighting seriously, she dons chain mail and wears a black strap under her breast to keep the chain mail in place. |
| 172 | * Numerous shots of Aqua's rear end in ''Literature/KonoSuba'' imply that she's not wearing panties. Further reinforced when Kazuma uses his Steal ability to steal her raiment and actually gets it (when he uses it on women he normally ends up stealing their panties instead no matter what he was trying to take.) It becomes a subversion when it's revealed lore-wise that Aqua actually ''does'' have panties on, but to keep [[ThePeepingTom Peeping Toms]] from looking up her skirt at them, [[DidntThinkThisThrough she made them invisible]]. |
| 173 | * Ashua in ''Lotte No Omocha'' frequently doesn't wear underwear. [[spoiler:Probably has something to do with her half-succubus nature]]. |
| 174 | * A very rare example that is PlayedForDrama in ''VisualNovel/LoveElectionAndChocolate'': [[TheWoobie poor Isara]] has her underwear ''violently removed in an empty lot and thrown to the garbage by a trio of bullies'' (all female, thankfully), and has to go about for the rest of her day (which lasts, mind you, until way after midnight, since she has to work so many jobs to keep feeding her family) without any. She is shown to be exactly as miserable as any real person would be in the situation. |
| 175 | * In a ''Anime/LupinIIIPartII'' episode named [[Recap/LupinIIIS2E145 "Albatross: Wings of Death"]], the villains strip Fujiko to find what she stole. They don't find it but have no reason to allow her to dress, either. She spends the majority of the episode without underwear, or much of anything on, really. Somewhat odd in that this is one of the two second series episodes directed by Creator/HayaoMiyazaki! |
| 176 | * The rather {{Fanservice}}y episode 8 of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' has a RidiculouslyCuteCritter run off with [[MsFanservice Sheryl]]'s panties by accident while she's showering at school, and given that she's the hottest IdolSinger in the ''entire galaxy'' at the moment, causes a few issues with ''[[GroupieBrigade every single male student]]'' (except three) chasing after the PantyThief to get the prize, seemingly with more desire to get it as treasure than to return them to her. Meanwhile, PluckyGirl Sheryl grabs PoweredArmor and rampages across campus to get them back. In a skirt. A MagicSkirt as the implication of Sheryl chasing her panties in a skirt is this trope. |
| 177 | * Played for laughs in the third episode of ''Anime/MagicalShoppingArcadeAbenobashi'': Arumi's panties are stolen by a goblin while she's [[NatureTinkling relieving herself behind a bush]], and then she's subjected to just about every suggestive trope in HumongousMecha anime, from a skimpy minidress to a giant robot with a suggestive piloting position. She's mortified but her companion Sasshi never notices, as he's too busy with the rest of the HumongousMecha anime tropes. |
| 178 | * ''Manga/MakenKi'': Haruko, Inaho, and Azuki wound up spending the entirety of chapters 22-24 without their underwear, after Minerva used her dimensional powers to steal them because [[CloudCuckoolander she forgot]] to give 'em back. |
| 179 | * ''Manga/MissMachiko'' often goes braless, as evident by the number of pranks her students play on her which ends with her shirt removed and her breasts exposed. [[RunningGag This was a kids' show]], by the way. |
| 180 | * Ooga, one of the Stalker Trio in ''Manga/{{Mitsudomoe}}'' gets so upset at the object of her affections apparently liking panties more than anything she immediately takes hers off, kicks them into the stratosphere, and swears to never wear them again. |
| 181 | * Several of the [[CuteMonsterGirl girls]] in ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' have bodies unsuited to undergarments, with various results: |
| 182 | ** Centorea never wears any underwear whatsoever. Aside from it being untraditional for her people, it would be very difficult to find something in her size upstairs, and [[OurCentaursAreDifferent they don't exactly manufacture things for her downstairs]]. |
| 183 | ** [[SnakePeople Miia]], lacking legs, obviously can't wear normal panties, so she wears a triangle of adhesive fabric in their place. |
| 184 | ** [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Meroune]] also lacks legs, and can't use Miia's adhesive solution due to her constantly moist skin. Not that it's a problem due to her preference for frilly ElegantGothicLolita-style dresses. |
| 185 | ** Suu, being a [[BlobMonster slime]], can barely wear any clothing at all without getting it soaking wet, let alone underwear. She usually wears a full-body yellow raincoat when out in public. |
| 186 | ** [[SpiderPeople Rachnera]] has the same sort of difficulties as Centorea, and she enjoys [[TheTease teasing Kimihito]] with {{Stripperiffic}} outfits anyway. |
| 187 | ** [[HeadlessHorseman Lala]] and [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Papi]] both have a sufficiently humanoid body plan to accommodate normal underwear. Since Papi's wings lack FeatherFingers, however, she does find it difficult to adjust them, as shown in one of the canon animated short segments. |
| 188 | * ''Anime/MyHime'': Natsuki had to go commando once [[JustifiedTrope because all of her underwear was stolen.]] Then a DramaticWind blew when she was talking to [[AccidentalPervert Takeda]]... |
| 189 | * ''Manga/MyMonsterSecret'': Shiho the ''pervert''. She's responsible for most of the little fanservice the series has, so every once in a while she either makes a joke about her not wearing her panties, or "borrows" a pair from other girls (while they're still wearing them, somehow). To prevent constant unthinking fapping from her male audience, [[FanDisservice Shiho is a]] GenderBender; it's literally in her werewolf genes. |
| 190 | * A chapter of ''Manga/NanaAndKaoru'' has Kaoru making Nana walk around the park without any underwear on. He has to jump through hoops making sure nobody encounters her while she's doing this. |
| 191 | * Aruka Schild from ''Manga/{{Needless}}''. It's even {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in one episode preview. She is notorious for wearing naughty clothing. Her second bad guy uniform in particular makes it clear she isn't wearing any undergarments south of the border. In the anime bonus shorts, Cruz recognizes his sister in the last episode by the fact that she is pantyless before she takes the mask off. (Cruz also recognizes Setsuna in the manga by her striped panties before seeing her face.) Additionally, at the very end of the manga when Blade acquires the power to make any wish a reality, he alters Japanese history 3000 years in the past to make "Naked with Gloves" and "Naked with Socks" into traditional modes of dress for women. So now in hot weather chicks walk around in public wearing nothing but gloves or socks and shoes. Because it was so far back in time, NO ONE NOTICES THE CHANGE. DANGIT BLADE. |
| 192 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': Jack Rakan can [[PantyThief steal the panties]] of all of [[BigBad Fate]]'s minions except the dragon girl Tamaki. Guess why? |
| 193 | ** According to [[http://vetus.wordpress.com/nazenani/#v30 Akamatsu himself,]] Tamaki goes commando because her tail makes panties ''very'' uncomfortable for her, so she decided to just be practical about it. As a matter of fact, her ''entire race'' goes underwear-less for this reason. |
| 194 | ** Sometimes Asuna is prone to end up like this as well, with her [[spoiler:[[AntiMagic Magic Annulment]]]] being the indirect culprit. When she's hit by spells of any kind, [[ClothingDamage her clothes go poof]]. |
| 195 | %%** If this is any indication, [[{{Ninja}} Kaede]] doesn't wear panties when she's in her ninja getup. |
| 196 | %%*** Seen earlier: this shows Kaede removing her training garb to get in the "hot tub" with Negi. |
| 197 | * In ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'', the Professor pulls a FreakyFridayFlip on her and Nano and then runs off to play. Nano finds it hard to run due to the Professor's little body and the oversized lab coat she wears. Nano tries to roll up the lab coat to make it easier but has to abandon that tactic when she realizes the Professor neglected to put on underwear before the swap. |
| 198 | * Heavily implied in the redraw and anime of ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'', where many shots imply that Tatsumaki is wearing just her dress, and ''only'' her dress. The anime confirms this in one scene where her bare butt was visible. Considering her ridiculous psychic powers and the length of the strips at the end of said dress, actually getting a peek would be nigh-impossible, nevermind ''attempting'' would be suicidal. |
| 199 | ** In the original webcomic, King claimed to have seen her panties once, she has a bunch of {{panty shot}}s later on afterwards in the webcomic, and [[WordOfGod Murata]] has stated she DOES wear underwear. So this may be just a stylistic choice/oversight. |
| 200 | * ''Literature/OniAi'': Episode 11. At least Anastasia's companions have to worry about ghosts while she tries to be as inconspicuous about this trope as her pride pushes her to on their walk. And in Episode 3 a [[MarilynManeuver gust of wind immediately prove]] that Arashi isn't teasing when she claims to fit this trope, in front of the rest of the dorm folks. |
| 201 | * In ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', Panty Anarchy's main power is that she can turn any underwear into a gun and back. Since she tends to use her own panties for this, she goes commando in battle. Her EvilCounterpart Scanty Daemon has a similar ability and does the same thing. Panty occasionally borrows Stocking's panties so she can go GunsAkimbo. Which means Stocking sometimes fit this trope as well. |
| 202 | * Nanami forgets to bring her underwear to the pool in Episode 8 of ''Literature/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou''. Misaki makes fun of her for it at the end of the episode when they're back at Sakura Hall. |
| 203 | * Nowa in ''Anime/QueensBlade'' doesn't wear underwear. She lives with elves, who don't do much better - their usual underwear is ''a pair of crossed leaves''. Echidna, meanwhile, only wears a snake along her lower body - and when her lower half's off-camera, [[FeatherBoaConstrictor she likes to wear it on her shoulders instead]]... |
| 204 | -->'''Aira:''' ''(holding a scythe to Nowa's throat)'' You're such a wild girl... you're not even wearing underwear.\ |
| 205 | '''Leina:''' S-She doesn't?!?\ |
| 206 | '''Nanael:''' Elves are really nasty bitches, too... |
| 207 | ** Echidna's bare rear can be seen in her first episode, where she's just robbed Leina's table and is walking out. |
| 208 | * In a post-chapter omake strip in ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'', CatGirl teacher Shizuka is asked what her bra size is. She replies that she doesn't wear one. Which become increasingly evident in later chapters. |
| 209 | * Various characters in ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' do not wear panties, among them Nodoka, Hatsumi, and [[Manga/SakiAchigaHen Shizuno]]. |
| 210 | * Maria from ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' does this constantly. Doesn't wear shoes or socks either. Though in her case it's more from innocence than sexuality, plus the fact that wearing any of these things apparently gives her vertigo. |
| 211 | ** In one episode, all the girls are wearing Kimonos and Maria is squirming uncomfortably. Someone asks why. She says that "she's been forced into wearing some". People assume she means underwear, but no, she's referring to socks. |
| 212 | * ''Manga/SeitokaiYakuindomo'', always played for laughs. |
| 213 | ** [[{{Ojou}} Aria]] never wears underwear, although she sometimes wears a chastity belt. Her family has a nudist tradition (on top of other kinks), so she often forgets it when she goes out, sometimes even wearing ''nothing'' but the outermost layer of clothing. |
| 214 | ** Shino does so occasionally as well, but in her case, it's more likely to be deliberate. |
| 215 | * ''Manga/ShadowStar'': |
| 216 | ** Mamiko Kuri never wears panties. [[InnocentFanserviceGirl She's also not a big fan of clothes in general.]] |
| 217 | ** While [[AlphaBitch Aki Honda]] ''does'' wear panties normally (as far as we know), [[FanDisservice one of the worst manga scenes in regards to her]] has her panty-less (only in a skimpy and short white top and black stockings) while lovingly straddling an older boy. [[BrotherSisterIncest Who is her older brother Yasuhito]]. [[spoiler:And then, they get ''gruesomely'' killed off by Oni, the Shadow Dragon of Hiroko, the poor girl she and her GirlPosse mercilessly tormented to monstrous degrees. Aki herself gets the absolute worst of it, as [[KarmicDeath Oni kills her in karmic but very sickening fashion]].]] In the anime this was {{bowdlerise}}d: she was wearing a knee-length pink nightgown and a pair of brown tights. |
| 218 | * ''Literature/{{Shimoneta}}'': Whenever Ayame uses her Blue Snow disguise in public, all she wears is [[ModestyBedsheet a bedsheet]] as a cloak and uses her panties as a mask. Promotional art for the series (including the Blu-ray/DVD box cover art) shows she's stark naked underneath it. |
| 219 | * Mayumi in ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'' found out the hard way that [[FlungClothing flinging her clothes]] where she can't find them is a bad idea, especially while changing into a [[MaidCafe maid uniform]]. She only got her panties back later that evening. In the anime, the situation gets even worse thanks to a [[MarilynManeuver gust of wind]]. |
| 220 | * The FanService(ier) episode of ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' has one character with missing panties, Francesca Lucchini, turn into a PantyThief. It cascades into the 501st JFW stealing the Panties of and in the end leaves multiple 501st members running around like this with lots and lots of CensorSteam included which was then [[{{Pun}} taken off]] in the UsefulNotes/BluRay release. [[SerialEscalation After THAT]] one subbing group was annoyed with the BarbieDollAnatomy and... you can imagine the rest. |
| 221 | %%* In a ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' HighSchoolAU manga, Nia goes commando in a skirt. May be justified, due to her being a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. |
| 222 | * ''Manga/TentomushiNoUta'': The five-year-old protagonist Hiyoko Isshuu has a habit of not bothering to put on a new pair of panties when she hangs her underwear to dry after washing them. Much to her dismay, this often leads to her in predicaments where her rear end is exposed (the anime was made in the 1970's and these circumstances were intended to be comical in nature rather than unsavory). |
| 223 | * ''Literature/TheTestamentOfSisterNewDevil'': Deliberately invoked by Chisato, during a scene at her apartment. She has her nephew, Basara, stand behind her and tells him to hold her tightly against himself while she prepares dinner for them. Said while wearing one of his school uniform shirts and stark naked underneath. Basara reluctantly goes along with it and ends up with a RagingStiffie only moments later. |
| 224 | * ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': In the spin-off ''Slime Diaries'', a heat wave strikes the Jura Forest. Shion happily suggests that if it does get hotter, they can take off a layer of clothes that's not visible, just like she is today. Shuna quickly pushes her out of the room before she can blurt her commando status to Rimuru. |
| 225 | * One chapter of ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' had Yami accidentally cut Yui's panties off, forcing Yui to go commando for the rest of the day. |
| 226 | ** In the sequel "Darkness", Nemesis wears absolutely ''nothing'' under her dress. Yabuki was only ''too'' happy to drug the censors and show us exactly how much ''nothing'' she wears. |
| 227 | * In ''Manga/UraraMeirocho'', [[WildChild Chiya]] doesn't wear any underwear, and indeed is not even familiar with the concept of undergarments. |
| 228 | * Merle in ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne''. Then again, she ''is'' a CatGirl, and with that tail of hers, it'd be hard to put on ANY kind of panties... It's subverted in The Movie, where she is drawn as wearing white panties underneath, though how exactly they are cut to accommodate her tail is not shown. |
| 229 | * Not played for either humor or fanservice in ''Anime/WaitingInTheSummer'': Mio has a habit of occasionally forgetting her underwear due to being raised as a nudist, despite also being a ShrinkingViolet. |

| 233 | * The WordOfGod (or at least Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta) is that Ms. [[Characters/YoungAvengersTitleTeam America Chavez]] doesn't wear underwear. This was promptly forgotten as soon as she became a regular character in ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers''. |
| 234 | * Characters/{{Catwoman|SelinaKyle}} doesn't wear any underwear under her catsuit, [[{{Fanservice}} as readers learned]] when she got the seat of her suit [[ButtBiter bitten off by a guard dog]] in her ''[[ComicBook/CatwomanWhenInRome When in Rome]]'' miniseries. |
| 235 | * ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'': |
| 236 | ** The main character discovers early on in her career that if she wears underwear under her supersuit, she gets epic visible pantyline. Therefore she must go commando. This makes it extra unfortunate that her suit is so easily torn. The bookends of every edition lampshade this by pointing out the "skintight" outfit does not show camel toe, and some flashbacks show Emp's pantylines as a means to illustrate how long ago the scene occurred. |
| 237 | ** Her friend [[HighlyVisibleNinja Ninjette]] does not appear to bother with (or have room for) panties beneath her [[{{Stripperiffic}} bootyshorts]] either. She does not wear bras for that matter, but the latter is justified by her [[ACupAngst not having anything to put in them]]. |
| 238 | * ''ComicBook/GeminiStorm'': Not one of Elizabeth's outfits suggests she ever wears a bra. |
| 239 | * In one ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' story, after Characters/BlackCanary defeats Giganta, she goes, "If you insist on wearing a skirt into battle, put on some underpants, or at least learn to sit like a lady." |
| 240 | * It's popular {{fanon}} that Cyclone, of the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica, doesn't wear anything under her dress. The artists seem to play along because, despite her garments flying up in her self-generated winds, there's [[MagicSkirt never been any artistic evidence to the contrary]]. This originates from [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/7/78/Justice_Society_of_America_v.3_3A.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070226170720 a cover]] by Creator/AlexRoss where she is clearly wearing nothing under her skirt. |
| 241 | * Characters/ScarletWitch, when Creator/GeorgePerez drew her in [[https://www.sarcasm-hime.net/uploads/1/3/3/6/133668904/wanda-ref_orig.jpg this costume.]] |
| 242 | * InformedAttribute with Katchoo of ''ComicBook/StrangersInParadise''. Francine claims that Katchoo doesn't wear underwear, but this is blatantly false as she's depicted as wearing at least panties several times. |
| 243 | * In the 25th issue of ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' the team has to deal with a base filled with 25 supervillains. To be able to move around more freely, they [[MuggedForDisguise ambush]] a small group, including female villain Joystick, and [[DressingAsTheEnemy steal their costumes]], leaving the stripped villains lying in a heap. One of the 'Bolts [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5bcfpMCxb6I/SK9RqxptKwI/AAAAAAAACwQ/e49a6IYk5Vo/s1600-h/thnderbolts2.jpg comments]] that when she wakes up, Joystick will probably wish she was the sort of person who wore underwear. |
| 244 | * In the first issue of ''ComicBook/TheUniques'', Hope Sage tries to escape from a hospital while wearing only a hospital gown. She quickly discovers that panties were not included with her outfit. |
| 245 | -->'''Hope:''' Son of a bee! |
| 246 | * In ''ComicBook/{{Patriotika}} #3'' it is revealed that Athena does not wear any underwear underneath her catsuit after her costume [[ClothingDamage has been]] [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fdSakikxkg6xTQiSvV0nnU1mOvMwJzo2cw08BsWUZib1K1dV6TTXlITD6xLiZw4aM2oVU8ENmP6D2_6MEIvNJCwgLhqCp1HnwXD-Ol9RF5XAA6DFYMNVpeStN24vu23FCMFAk47tg=s1600 damaged]]. |

| 254 | * ''Fanfic/FriendshipIsMagicalGirls'': In Magic 7, Spike magically replaces Rarity's clothes with a gi she can fight in. After the fight, as she's changing back into her normal clothes, she realizes that he took the opportunity to [[PantyThief steal her underwear]], forcing her to do this on the way back home. |
| 255 | * Unlike in canon, Seras "Police Girl" Victoria from ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' is noted for not wearing a bra. In the timeskipped epilogue, she is in such a hurry to defend Integra that she "didn't have time to put panties on", and there is a censor mosaic between her legs as a result. |
| 256 | * Given how often Tsuruya wears a UsefulNotes/{{kimono}} in ''Fanfic/KyonBigDamnHero'', this trope is in effect a lot more than is immediately apparent. |
| 257 | * In Chapter 17 of ''Fanfic/NaturalSelection'', Nui getting undressed reveals that she only wears her Lolita dress and doesn't wear any underwear. |
| 258 | * One chapter in ''Fanfic/RobbReturns'' has Ygritte wearing a dress in preparation for the Lannisters' arrival, ''but isn't wearing any smallclothes under it'', and she openly admits this to Jon. |

| 263 | * At the very beginning of the song "Honor To Us All" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', during the scene where Mulan is forced to remove her green dress and then pushed into a washtub (seen in silhouette behind a canvas, naturally), she clearly isn't wearing anything underneath. This is TruthInTelevision; women typically didn't wear underwear during that time period. |
| 264 | * ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': There's an infamous scene where Jessica is thrown from a crashing car with her legs spread. [[FreezeFrameBonus A few blink-and-you'll-miss-it frames]] reveal that she wears nothing under her dress. [[http://archive.fo/xAava This has been censored in the subsequent digital editions by giving her white panties.]] |

| 268 | * In ''Film/TwelveHourShift'' Regina is forced into this because she does not have a receptacle for the kidney she extracted [[spoiler:or rather the organ she ''thinks'' is a kidney]], so she has to use her panties for the task. Afterwards Mandy tells her to take off her blood-spattered scrubs and go home. So Regina obeys and walks to her car in nothing but her bra and socks. |
| 269 | * In ''Film/{{Aquamarine}}'', when the mermaid becomes human, she's naked. Claire and Hailey loan her sandals and an over-sized shirt that she uses as a dress, but no bra or panties. |
| 270 | * Used for a BaitAndSwitch in ''Film/{{Anazapta}}''. The local bishop has subjected Lady Matilda to a ScarpiaUltimatum. At one point she needs a favour from him, and when the bishop wants to know what he's getting in exchange she lifts her skirt. Given the medieval era the audience assumes she's not wearing underwear, but the bishop's exasperated reaction makes it clear that she ''is'' wearing a chastity belt, and he's going to need her cooperation if he wants to get it off. |
| 271 | * ''Film/ArtOfTheDead'': During her shopping spree, Donna leaves behind her panties in a bag as a present for the shop assistant: telling him that she doesn't wear them any more. |
| 272 | * Behind-the-scenes example: Creator/ScarlettJohansson in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' didn't wear underwear under her Black Widow spy suit, because it was difficult to move, and she kept getting too hot. |
| 273 | * ''Film/TheBaaderMeinhofComplex''. Several Arab terrorists are [[CultureClash startled by the sight]] of a female German terrorist in a miniskirt showing she's not wearing panties as she clambers out of a land rover. |
| 274 | * Chieko in ''Film/{{Babel}}'' gets fed up with the way some boys at the next table in a restaurant keep looking at her, so she removes her panties and flashes them. Later on, she goes out wearing a short skirt with no panties. |
| 275 | * ''Film/BasicInstinct'' is a famous example in [[BestKnownForTheFanservice one memorable scene]] when Catherine Tramell crosses her legs during her interrogation for a crime. It has been called the film that ruined a million [=VCRs=]. |
| 276 | * In ''Film/BirdOnAWire'' when Creator/GoldieHawn's character in a SkirtsAndLadders scene gives the audience a {{panty shot}}. Creator/MelGibson's character (playing her former {{Love Interest|s}}) implies that she used to go commando in their younger days by asking, "When did you start wearing underwear?" |
| 277 | * In ''Film/BlackMamaWhiteMama'', one of the two escaped convicts, Karen, sacrifices her panties to create a false track for the pursuing bloodhounds. This is played very much for FanService since the "dress" (really just an oversize T-shirt) which is the only thing she is left wearing is only barely long enough to preserve some modesty. |
| 278 | * In ''Film/Bombshell1933'', Creator/JeanHarlow plays an actress who is specifically instructed not to wear a bra--which Jean Harlow usually didn't in RealLife. |
| 279 | * ''Film/TheBridgesOfMadisonCounty'': When Michael and Caroline are looking at pictures of their mother Francesca that they've never seen before (pictures taken by Robert Kincaid), Michael's wife takes a look at one of them and says, "She's not wearing a bra." |
| 280 | * ''Film/TheCannonballRun'': During an intimate conversation with Victor, Beauty says that if she had a cape, she'd want it to be pink because almost everything she wears is pink. |

| 282 | '''Beauty:''' ''(airily)'' Oh, I don't wear any. |

| 285 | * [[Creator/RosarioDawson Becky]] in ''Film/ClerksII'', dancing on the roof of Moobie's [[{{Fanservice}} without a bra]]. |
| 286 | * In ''Film/TheCovenant'', some of the characters make a bet as to what kind of underwear a [[FanServiceExtra waitress]] is wearing. The one who bet "going commando" won. |
| 287 | * In ''Film/CuttingClass'' (1989), one cheerleader named Colleen (portrayed by Brenda James) removes her yellow-and-black-striped panties before she and Paula leave the locker room, and go on the court to cheer on their team with the other cheerleaders. She does this as a joke and puts on a hot show, flashing her nude rear end and mooning the spectators. |
| 288 | * In the erotic thriller, ''Film/{{Desire}}'' (1993), one of the characters can smell that the main character isn’t wearing underwear. |
| 289 | * In ''Film/EasyA'', when Olive fakes sex with Brandon, she gives him her panties, leaving shortly thereafter. |
| 290 | * Lola Cain (Creator/SeanYoung) from ''Film/FatalInstinct''. When she puts both of her legs on a desk and presents herself to Ned Ravine (Armand Assante), he sees that she's bottomless under her white dress. So he gives her a pair of lacy, lilac, pop-up panties to wear. |
| 291 | * ''Film/TheGame1997'': Christine isn't wearing panties under her skirt, which makes her embarrassed when she gets into a SkirtsAndLadders situation with Nicholas. |
| 292 | * ''Film/TheGirl'' (1987). When [[ReadyForLovemaking seducing]] Creator/FrancoNero's character, the FilleFatale removes her dress to reveal she's got nothing underneath except a pair of stockings. |
| 293 | * In ''Film/HanselAndGretelWitchHunters'', Mina strips out of her dress and reveals that she's totally nude underneath before entering the pond. Hansel doesn't wait to be asked a second time to join her for a TwoPersonPoolParty. No wonder the simple townsfolk thought her a witch. |
| 294 | * In ''Film/HotSpur'', the dancing girl in the cantina being harassed by Wes and Jerry is not wearing any underwear: a fact revealed when they flip her skirt up. |
| 295 | * The AlphaBitch of ''Film/ItsABoyGirlThing''. Also Woody in Nell's body... because he can't figure out how to put on a bra. |
| 296 | * The cheerleader Juicy Dorfman (Hayley Ladner) from 1988's ''Film/JohnnyBeGood''. She's asked to remove her yellow panties so she can flash the opposing football team as a distraction. Though technically it appears she's actually wearing either flesh-colored or transparent undies. |
| 297 | * ''Film/JuliaX'': After being attacked in the bath, Julia hurriedly pulls on a black knit dress. This means she conducts the entire final battle without underwear. |
| 298 | * ''Film/LiveWire'' (1992). Creator/PierceBrosnan's character is a bomb disposal expert. At the start of the movie, he defuses a bomb under the driver's seat of a woman in a short skirt, left there by her PsychoExBoyfriend. After defusing the bomb, he tells her to start wearing underwear. At the end of the movie the same thing happens again (this time the bomb has been planted by her husband, jealous of the ex-boyfriend). Brosnan defuses the bomb and congratulates her on her underwear. |
| 299 | * Implied in ''Film/{{Machete}}''. After April and June Booth wake up naked after having been drugged and kidnapped by Machete, April finds a nun's habit and puts it on. |
| 300 | * ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'': It might not be obvious at first glance, but if you look closely at Persephone's (Creator/MonicaBellucci) translucent white dress, you can see that she's not wearing underneath. |
| 301 | * Jane does not wear any panties under her skirt when she goes out cruising for rough trade in ''Film/TheNewYorkRipper''. |
| 302 | * In ''Film/TheNotoriousDaughterOfFannyHill'', HighClassCallGirl Kissey Hill does not wear any underwear. We know this because the first scene shows her getting dressed in the morning, and while she [[StockingFiller slowly and sensually pulls on black silk stockings]], she does not put on any underwear. |
| 303 | * Implied: In the adaptation of Creator/CarrieFisher's book ''Film/PostcardsFromTheEdge'', Suzanne Vale (Creator/MerylStreep) rails on her mother Doris Mann (Creator/ShirleyMacLaine) for lifting her skirt up at Suzanne's get-together.

| 304 | * ''Film/PrimeCut'': Creator/SissySpacek's character does not wear a bra or panties under her dress. |
| 305 | * In ''Film/{{Salt}}'', Evelyn takes off her black panties and uses them to obscure from surveillance the fact that she's MacGyvering a missile launcher out of cleaning materials and a fire extinguisher ("''Get your panties off the camera!''") She then climbs up the side of a building and edges along the brickwork without having had the opportunity to put on a new pair. |
| 306 | * Music/{{Madonna}} (Gloria Tatlock) in 1986's ''Film/ShanghaiSurprise''. During the scenes in which she and Creator/SeanPenn (Glendon Wasey) are riding on separate rickshaws and next to each other and as she reaches towards him, a gust of wind blows her blue skirt back and she's spread eagle, wearing nothing underneath. |
| 307 | * ''Film/ShortcutToHappiness'': The Devil (Creator/JenniferLoveHewitt) reacts angrily to Stone's scar survey, and rolls out of bed naked, pulls on her trenchcoat and storms out of the apartment with nothing on underneath it. |
| 308 | * ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'': When Grace [[CantTakeAnythingWithYou arrives in the present naked]], she quickly steals clothes from a man, but he is left in his underwear, so she isn't wearing any. Later, when she is hospitalized and put in a hospital gown, she revives and beats everyone up, then steals a woman's clothes, again leaving the woman in her underwear. |
| 309 | * In ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'', when Film/JamesBond seduces a nurse, she drops her uniform and she's not wearing anything underneath. |
| 310 | * The very last lines in ''Film/VanWilder'', concluding a BrickJoke set up earlier. Van guesses to Gwen that Richard is "a tighty-whitey guy. White, elastic band, conservative. You can tell a lot about a person by the kind of drawers they wear. Like you. Granny panties, I bet." By the end: |
| 311 | -->'''Van:''' I was scared you wouldn't come.\ |
| 312 | '''Gwen:''' Well, I was trying to decide what panties I should wear.\ |
| 313 | '''Van:''' Which ones did you choose?\ |
| 314 | '''Gwen:''' None. |

| 318 | * In ''The Bronze Horseman'' by Paullina Simons, Alexander discovers his newly-wed teenage wife Tatiana isn't wearing anything under her dress because of the scorching hot Russian summer. Naturally, coitus ensues, [[InsatiableNewlyWeds not that it wouldn't have happened anyway]]. |
| 319 | * In ''Caddie Confidential'', J.J. James relates an anecdote in which Hal Sutton is about to make a putt when his caddie points out a young lady on the slope of the green directly at the end of his line of sight, who happens to be sitting cross-legged and wearing a short skirt with nothing underneath. Apparently [[DistractedByTheSexy Hal 3-putted]]. |
| 320 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': |
| 321 | ** In ''Literature/{{Storm Front|DresdenFiles}}'', Susan, under the influence of a LovePotion, informs Harry that she isn't wearing any panties under her LittleBlackDress... while he is naked and wet from the shower and trying to keep them both inside a magic circle that is the only thing protecting them from an attacking demon. By the time they're actually dating in ''Literature/GravePeril'', she's apparently made it a habit for such evenings. |
| 322 | ** In ''Literature/BloodRites'', a mischievous co-worker suggests "Gowan Commando" to a pornographic actor looking for a good {{Porn Name|s}}. |
| 323 | * In the ''Literature/GeorginaKincaid'' book ''Succubus Night'', the protagonist, a shapeshifting [[SuccubiAndIncubi Succubus]], teases her human boyfriend Seth Mortensen by implying she is going commando. Seth can't help but asking several times in the afternoon if it's true. Eventually, Georgina reveals she is wearing panties... only to immediately make them disappear thanks to her shapeshifting and tell him she doesn't wear them anymore. |
| 324 | * ''Literature/TheHouseOnTheLagoon'': Isabel's best friend Estefania frequently wears no underwear, as evinced by the anecdote of the occasion when, while crowning the casino's Carnival Queen, she bends over to reveal her derriére to an entire audience of over a thousand, and [[ShamelessFanServiceGirl doesn't even blush]]. |
| 325 | * ''Literature/{{Hurog}}'': In ''Dragon Blood'', [[spoiler:Tisala]] goes commando because... well, she was ''naked'' while being tortured, then escaped and stole a coat. Later on, she is seen wearing trousers and a shirt both of which don't quite fit her and are probably stolen. The other characters who proceed to cut those clothes off her body in order to look at her gruesome wounds do not mention the lack of underwear. One female example that is not played for fanservice ''at all''. |
| 326 | * The ''Literature/MikeHammer'' novel ''Kiss Me, Deadly'' opens with Mike picking up a female hitchhiker in a belted trenchcoat. He doesn't realize she's got nothing else on until she slips his hand underneath it to encourage him to get her past a police RoadBlock. |
| 327 | * ''Literature/NightHuntress'' has the sequence in the first book in which Bones tells Cat that she will be more effective bait by not wearing undergarments with her slut disguises. Later, it is revealed to be a personal fetish of Bones' and he just told Cat to do so to mess with her. |
| 328 | * In ''Literature/SpiritHunters'', Sura tells a story about her aunt who always wore her yukata in the "traditional" style, and a time Sura polished the temple's marble floor so that it was like a mirror. |
| 329 | * In at least two of the ''Literature/StephaniePlum'' books, Stephanie has to ditch all her clothes due to them becoming soaked and/or filthy. In both cases, she can find replacement jeans and a T-shirt but no bra or panties. Stephanie finds the experience a little embarrassing, while her two would-be boyfriends Ranger and Morelli take quite a different view. In one of the cases, her mother appears more worried that Stephanie has lost her bra than that she's been held captive by desperate killers. |
| 330 | * The Lois Lane {{expy}} does this in ''Literature/{{Superfolks}}'', giving those on the ground quite a show when her skirt turns into an ImprovisedParachute. |
| 331 | * In the {{novelization}} of ''Radio/{{Earthsearch}}'', a woman from a LadyLand society enters the shuttle flown by our protagonists and [[NoNudityTaboo casually strips off her spacesuit]] to show she's wearing nothing underneath. |

| 334 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 335 | * ''Series/{{Angel}}''. As part of his DatingCatwoman relationship with evil lawyer Lilah Morgan, Wesley talks her into taking off her panties over the phone. During a board meeting. |
| 336 | * Marti Noxon (No Parking Lady) in the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' musical episode "Once More With Feeling" attempts to flirt her way out of a parking ticket by mentioning that she's not wearing underwear. |
| 337 | * Britta from ''Series/{{Community}}'' blurts this in passing, although not doing it for sexy reasons. |
| 338 | -->"Jeff doesn't need a girl who doesn't wear underwear because Oprah told her it would spice things up. He needs a girl who doesn't wear underwear because she hasn't done laundry in 3 weeks." |
| 339 | * "Shitagi Nashi ...", the title of the first-season finale of ''[[Series/DontTrustTheBInApartment23 Don't Trust the B---- In Apartment 23]]'', is the Japanese title of an in-universe comic book series "Tall Slut No Panties" based in Chloe's exploits. |
| 340 | * ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'': This is one of two oft-cited reasons why Catherine Bach's Daisy Duke costume incorporated tights (the other, more well-known reason had to do with network censorship issues). |
| 341 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones''. Theon Greyjoy pays whore Roz for one last look at what's under her skirt as she leaves Winterfell for more profitable pastures. In fact, ''nobody'' wears underpants in this show. |
| 342 | * There was an episode of ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' where Lorelai admits to Rory she's not wearing any undies her skirt because the laundry was not caught up, and comments that it feels kind of nice. Rory rolls her eyes and makes a snarky comment about her mother as a role model. |
| 343 | * Non-fiction example: in the documentary series ''Harlots, Housewives and Heroines'' about women in the 17th century, presenter Dr Lucy Worsley talks about the replica dress she's wearing, raising three layers of fabric to reveal the top of stockings that end just above the knee, then mentions that knickers haven't been invented yet and gives an AsideGlance to the camera with a particularly cheeky "oh ''yes''" expression. |
| 344 | * ''Series/KrodMandoonAndTheFlamingSwordOfFire'': Aneka habitually wears nothing beneath her skirt, in spite of Kröd's pleas. |
| 345 | * In the ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' SeriesFinale, Grandma Ida plans to have a massive slip and fall that will hike up her dress to serve as a distraction for Reese's planned mess bomb. She says she's gone commando to ensure that her distraction will get everyone's attention. |
| 346 | * In one episode of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', Kelly Bundy remarks that she stopped wearing panties when she was seven years old. |
| 347 | * ''Series/MikeAndMolly'': In one episode Joyce is wearing a LittleBlackDress to go out to dinner with an ex-boyfriend of hers. Vince says that he doesn't want her coming home with her panties in her purse. Joyce tells him not to be stupid, as she never wears panties with this dress. |
| 348 | * On ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'', Joy is mentioned as doing this quite frequently, though not all the time. One notable instance was her choosing a lined dress for her wedding to Darnell, specifically so she wouldn't have to wear panties underneath. |
| 349 | * Lampshaded in ''Series/{{Obliterated}}'' when US SEAL commando Chad is surprised to find his strait-laced CIA team leader Ava, [[DefrostingIceQueen who's decided to have a drunken one-night stand with him]] now that the mission is (supposedly) over, is wearing a bra but no panties under her LittleBlackDress. |
| 350 | -->'''Chad:''' I guess you're going commando for real. |
| 351 | -->'''Ava:''' I like to keep it well ventilated. |

| 358 | * The alt-country singer Music/JamesMcMurtry informs us that this is the case in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqt0A1Szhsg "These Things I've Come to Know,"]] an... interesting ode to an interesting woman. |
| 359 | -->''She'll spend a dollar as quick as a dime''\ |
| 360 | ''She goes commando most all of the time''\ |
| 361 | ''And she writes a fine prose, [[SelfDeprecation I'd have to say, finer than mine]]''\ |
| 362 | ''These things I've come to know'' |
| 363 | * The song [[https://www.thefump.com/music/song/go-commando "Go Commando"]] by Morning Sidekick (a parody of Music/LadyGaga's "Alejandro") is a woman singing about how she loves to do this. |
| 364 | * [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Kagamine Rin]] has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btqZejLvZFU this song.]] The "panties" is supposed to be a metaphor for parents or MoralGuardians; Rin, in the song, is a teenage girl who wants to have the freedom of adulthood, thus she discards her "panties" so she can be free to do as she pleases. It's later subverted when she realizes she isn't ready for adult responsibilities yet and puts her "panties" back on so she can have protection of her parents/guardians again. |
| 365 | ** [[{{Pun}} Well, parents can chafe sometimes...]] |
| 366 | * [[Music/TheWhiteStripes Meg White]] seems to like drumming without a bra. We don't mind, either. |
| 367 | [[/folder]] |
| 368 | |
| 369 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |
| 370 | * Wrestling/{{Melina}} did this. That plus the fact she was wearing a very short skirt plus her ring entrance consisting of her doing the splits through the bottom rope, well, let's just say it was a little breezy that night and leave it at that. |
| 371 | * [[Wrestling/StacyCarter Miss Kitty]] panicked when she was entered into an Evening Gown match - the stipulation of which states that the loser is the one who has her dress ripped off. Why? Because she didn't wear underwear. |
| 372 | -->'''Chyna:''' Well you'll just have to win then, won't you? |

| 375 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 376 | * ''VideoGame/{{Blazblue}}'': |
| 377 | ** Noel Vermillion was suspected by fans for a long time, but this was disproven by EXTEND. Then again, there's [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150219033411/http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1142890 official artwork]] (warning: NSFW) saying otherwise... |
| 378 | ** Noel's case was brought on by a FreezeFrameBonus that may have just been an artist oversight: during her aerial barrier block, her skirt flaps so one can see up past her hips, with no waistband in sight, which put a new angle on the fact no other sprite showed her panties. Since then, official art and other sources have [[FlipFlopOfGod gone back and forth on the issue]], [[TrollingCreator perhaps deliberately]]. |
| 379 | * ''VideoGame/BraveNine'': Spatti wears a tanktop zipped down to show the entirety of her cleavage while Stadione wears a shirt with several slits going down it. It's obvious that neither lady is wearing a bra. |
| 380 | * In ''VideoGame/ADanceWithRogues'', [[PlayerCharacter the Princess]] can comment that she isn't wearing underwear at various points during the story. |
| 381 | ** The 1.50 patch ran with it, adding scenes where the Princess can complain that underwear is uncomfortable. |
| 382 | * In ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'', the "Stranded Siren" quest involves rescuing Tammy Blaine, a mermaid performer at the Atlantica casino. However, Tammy forgot her bathing suit at home on the day of [[ZombieApocalypse the outbreak]] and decided to go commando, so she can't take off her mermaid costume (as she puts it: "I just met you, I'm not that kind of mermaid"), which means Chuck has to carry her to the safehouse. |
| 383 | * ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' and ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Bonne Jenet's [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless]] with a high slit on the right side dress and [[KickChick kicks]] make it look like she's not wearing underpants. This is especially noticeable when she's doing her [[CombatStilettos stiletto attack]] or gets KO'd, as both have frames that can make you suspect she's flashing her goods. This might be from an oversight in the development of ''Garou: Mark of the Wolves'' that was carried over into Jenet's ''King of Fighters XI'' appearance, since her official art for ''Mark of the Wolves'' [[http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/File:Jenet-garou.jpg shows a strap of her underwear]]. As does her [[http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/File:Bjenet_designs.jpg King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2 official art]] [[http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/File:Jenet-mi2.jpg and model]]. |
| 384 | * In ''VideoGame/FateExtra'', Rani VIII considers wearing underwear to be forbidden. A shot of her wearing only stockings was also included in the Fate/Extra CCC Fox Tail manga, where she strikes a friendship with fellow commando Saber (Suzuka Gozen). |
| 385 | * ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'': Fiona goes without underwear twice: |
| 386 | ** During the opening cinematic, she has nothing but [[ModestyBedsheet a bedsheet to cover herself with]]. [[FreezeFrameBonus If you pause]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_2xmZTQZxI at exactly 2:49]], you can see she isn't wearing anything underneath it. |
| 387 | ** At certain angles, you can also see that she isn't wearing anything under her "Under the Scalpel" costume either, due to how short it is. |
| 388 | * In ''VideoGame/KanColle'', most of the Kanmusu don't seem to wear any underwear or just either bras or panties. One can see this when looking at the damaged CG - e.G. [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131126103057/kancolle/images/a/ae/66_4.png Takao's damaged CG]] or [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140226154658/kancolle/images/1/18/Hiyou_kai_dmg.png Hiyou Kai's new damaged CG.]] Tone Kai 2 in particular is infamous for wearing [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140423092451/kancolle/images/d/d4/188.png an]] [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140423092512/kancolle/images/5/59/188_X.png outfit]] that seems like it would inevitably reveal her lack of underwear with the slightest exposure to wind. |
| 389 | * In ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', some of the women didn't wear any panties in certain skins. French Maid Nidalee and default Sivir were known for not keeping their lady bits covered under their skirts, but Riot addressed those models and gave them both either panties or shorts. Currently, Lunar Empress Lux doesn't wear any panties in the skin's default chroma. |
| 390 | * In ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry III'', several puzzles in [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent Patti]]'s section of the game require removing articles of her clothing. Her panties are the first to go. |
| 391 | ** In the end of the game, after [[spoiler:Patti disables the anti-gravity generator in Sierra Studio's {{Space Quest}} section, she and Larry fall until they land [[FacePlant face-first]]. Patti's position when bent down on the ground gives the player an uninterrupted shot of her naked butt ([[CensorShadow and hidden crotch]])]]. |
| 392 | * In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', Sonya Blade doesn't wear any underwear. It's more noticeable when she's getting brutally slaughtered in certain Fatalities, but when her pants/shorts get torn, nothing. When you're risking being pulled into a spinning saw blade lady-parts first, underwear isn't the biggest concern. |
| 393 | * The limited-edition figurine of ''VideoGame/MushihimeSama'' protagonist Reco lacks panties under its skirt (presumably because in the figurine, Reco is sitting on a stump, and you'd have to go out of your way to detach her from the stump). This was later brought up in a [[http://www.famitsu.com/news/201205/17014608.html Famitsu interview with director Tsuneki Ikeda and producer Makoto Asada,]] where Ikeda confirmed that she canonically does not wear any underpants. Hilariously, Asada's only thought on the matter was to ask Ikeda if that means she can pee standing up. |
| 394 | * ''VideoGame/Persona3'': |
| 395 | ** Evoked in a quite funny form. Cute kid Ken asks the main character if girls were Going Commando in the New year festival, and then he also asks what Going Commando means (he overheard it from Junpei, who also comments this). Note that this is because the girls are all wearing kimonos at the festival and it's true in several Japanese regions that kimonos/yukatas aren't worn with underwear. If you play through the female protagonist's story in the portable version, Ken asks "aren't you girls cold?" with equally {{hilari|tyEnsues}}ous results. |
| 396 | ** Better yet, Junpei may ask the female MC if it's actually true that girls wear nothing under a kimono/yukata. The possible answers are "Yes.", "No." and "I'll leave that to your imagination." |
| 397 | * ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth'': A common joke in the game regarding the female cast as a lot of the their animations and frames show no signs of underwear being worn. This is apparently completely intentional as the head of the development team decreed this as to not show visible panties in the game. Alternate Colors are however fair-game for certain characters. |
| 398 | * ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'': Unlike in later games, Amy wears no panties. Neither does guest fighter Honey the Cat in the digital rerelease. |
| 399 | * ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'': Thanks to some...[[VideoGamePerversityPotential intrusive digging]], Krystal [[https://i.imgur.com//OffoMLh.jpg has been found]] to not wear underwear under her [[NubileSavage clothes]]. |
| 400 | * Komako's DarkSecret in ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'' is that she did this for a few years because she read that shrine maidens did the same. Ryoba can spread that around to ruin Komako's reputation. |
| 401 | [[/folder]] |

| 403 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 404 | * In ''VisualNovel/ShiningSongStarnova'', Julie “accidentally” forgets to put her panties on before a live performance. Blurry pictures of her flashing the front row quickly end up all over the tabloids, to Mr. Producer’s aggravation. |

| 408 | * An early strip of ''Webcomic/CatsNCameras'' has Sarina bending over to help a customer, and giving him a full view of what she ''wasn't'' wearing under her skirt. |
| 409 | * ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'': |
| 410 | ** Pam, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20071228184507/http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-11-17 evidently.]] |
| 411 | ** Though not [[https://web.archive.org/web/20101122115612/http://dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-01-09 all]] the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20110511143340/http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2011-04-29 time.]] |
| 412 | * For quite a while over the course of ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'', we never see Ki in a skirt or a dress, always in pants. This preference of hers dates back to one fateful day in college when she tripped while wearing a short summer dress. This was so embarrassing for her that she never wore a skirt or a dress again--but mostly because she went commando that day. |
| 413 | * ''Webcomic/MenageA3'': Sonya, who is both a CompetitionFreak and a wannabe FemmeFatale, will use any tactic that might work when engaged in competitive flirting -- including [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/menage-a-3/i-am-getting-a-text letting her target know that she isn't wearing any panties.]] |
| 414 | * ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'': |
| 415 | ** Ash gets so irritated by a [[http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=662 thong]] that she switches to this option. |
| 416 | ** This becomes an issue a few strips later when she falls down. |
| 417 | ** As of February 2012, [[http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=1978 this is still an issue]] when sitting with her legs open and wearing boxers. |
| 418 | * ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'': [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=34 In Kat's high school days]], while she was on a stool, Hilary claimed this of her, prompting three boys to have a look. It wasn't true, but the fact that they were looking up her skirt was embarrassing to her. |
| 419 | * In [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/141015 this]] strip of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', Gwynn strips out of her wet clothes and puts on, as her only article of clothing, an overcoat found in the house she and Torg are investigating, explaining in [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/141016 the next strip]] that her wet underwear was chaffing. Torg, [[AllMenArePerverts as usual]], can only focus on "she was naked", much to her annoyance. |
| 420 | * In ''Webcomic/StrangeTalesOfTheDAMultiverse'', Mixtli is very clearly not wearing any underwear under her costume. |
| 421 | * Julia, in ''Webcomic/ThinkBeforeYouThink'', in [[http://thinkbeforeyouthink.net/?comic=20100923-a-tight-squeeze this]] awkward episode. |
| 422 | * In the 2014 [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween strip]] of ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard'', Howie's girlfriend is wearing a hazmat suit as her Halloween costume, as her take on "sexy" {{fanservice}}y women's costumes. As it's a full-body suit save for her tail (for character identification purposes, accordig to Doc Nickel on the TWB forum), Howie asks her how it's sexy. Her response: [[http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1855.html "Easy... I'm not wearing anything under it."]] |
| 423 | * [[Creator/DinaMNealey Chibi-Dina]], when stripping out of her clothes in in the comic "Chibi-Dina's New Outfit," talks about how cartoon characters usually have a LimitedWardrobe thing going on but that ''she'' isn't a cartoon character because "a cartoon character would be wearing underwear." Other comics with her have also occasionally shown that she usually goes without underwear. |

| 439 | * Pauline in the ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'' short, ''WesternAnimation/DuckPimples''. After Donald was falsely shot, a terrified Pauline lifts her dress and jumps as she gets ready to flee. As she bends one leg up in one frame, there's a flash of her side posterior cheek, so she is revealed not to wear undies. |
| 440 | * In the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes short, "WesternAnimation/EatinOnTheCuff", it's implied that three women lose their undies after the moth flies under each of their skirts to eat them. The women then shriek and flee. |
| 441 | * ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'': As evidenced by the scene where she ends up hanging by her shorts in the Batcave, Harley isn't wearing any underwear. |
| 442 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'' short, "Shape Ahoy", it's suggested Olive Oyl is bottomless under her skirt, as she uses her white panties or short bloomers with red spots as a sail while traveling by raft to an island. Once she arrives there, she grabs her undies and gets behind a boulder to put them on. |
| 443 | * Chicago, from ''WesternAnimation/ProducingParker'', often goes commando. |
| 444 | * Among the various things that set ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' apart from the main ''[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]]'' continuity is the fact that female characters like Amy and Sticks wear no panties, as seen in certain Blink And You'll Miss It moments. |
| 445 | * ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats2021'': Discussed in "Tooth or Share"; Tia Esperanza is about to tell Didi about when Betty was four years old and yelled to everyone in her church that she wasn't wearing any underwear, but Betty cuts her off before she can finish. |
| 446 | * WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks: It's hinted on occasion that Mariner only wears underwear on field missions and for formal occasions, and for the most part wears only her Starfleet uniform with nothing underneath. |
| 447 | -->'''Boimler:''' We can forget about the party because, guess what? We're probably getting arrested instead!\ |
| 448 | '''Mariner:''' No way! I didn't put on underwear for nothing! |
| 449 | * The Creator/VanBeurenStudios 1933 short "Silvery Moon" stars an anthropomorphic cat couple. Atypical to most female cartoon characters of her design or time, the girl cat has a noticeable lack of bloomers beneath her skirt. |
| 450 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcdonald'': A brief glimpse up Birdie's skirt when the gang jump into a barrel to hide from an angry mob during their trip to the Wild West in "Have Time, Will Travel" shows that her period-appropriate attire apparently doesn't include underwear. Given that her usual apparel is some sort of jumpsuit (making it impossible to determine if she has anything on underneath) and most of the eras the gang visit are periods known to predate when it became common for women to wear underwear (i.e. prehistoric times, the Middle Ages and the aforementioned Wild West), it's anyone's guess whether Birdie ordinarily goes commando or if it was only for the outfit worn in the Wild West. |

A few minutes later, Cardin tries to prove he is "Hentacle" by pulling his pants down and revealing his underwear... except Jaune had already discarded it, so Cardin just made him flash all his friends. |

| 632 | * In ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': |
| 633 | -->'''Ed:''' ''[matter-of-fact]'' I forgot to wear underwear, guys! |
| 634 | * ''WesternAnimation/FantasticMax'': In "The Big Sleep", Max's rear pajama flap is open and you can see he isn't wearing his diaper under it for some reason. |
| 635 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': The uniform worn by Zapp Brannigan and his crew consists of a jacket, white cowboy boots and ''no pants whatsoever''. Judging by Kif Kroker's disgusted expression after looking up while climbing up a ladder after Zapp, the latter probably also refuses to wear another piece of garment. |
| 636 | * ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': In "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons", a villain from the world of DD&MD turns Dipper into an elf, complete with medieval clothes that don't include trousers. |
| 637 | -->'''Dipper:''' There better be something protective under this tunic... (''turns to peek, then covers his crotch with a mortified expression'') Oh ''no'', there isn't! |
| 638 | * In the first ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' episode, Arnold and Gerald are headed to their school play, dressed as a banana and a strawberry, but "[[BlatantLies accidentally]]" miss their stop, instead winding up downtown. When Arnold suggests that they at least take off their costumes, Gerald sheepishly admits that he didn't wear anything underneath. "Polyester makes me sweat!" |
| 639 | * In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/HulkAndTheAgentsOfSMASH'', Hulk's [[MagicPants iconic pants]] briefly get caught on a statue's spear, revealing he's wearing nothing underneath. |
| 640 | * In the episode "Upside-Down Magic" of ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'', our titular protagonist gets scared by Pinkey yelling "Boo!" at him and falls in the bushes. Scarecrow picks him up from the bushes and asks Mumfie if he's okay, and he is, but he ripped his pants, revealing no underwear underneath. Then again, [[NobodyPoops this is a world where people get bad dreams]] rather than [[PottyEmergency potty emergencies]] after eating or drinking too much food... |
| 641 | * In one ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' episode, Murderface is introduced to the concept of "freeballing it". Nathan and Skwisgaar reveal they rarely wear underwear. Well, Skwisgaar. Nathan estimates that he only wears underwear 65% of the time, which isn't really "rarely". Freeballing actually improves Murderface's bass playing, so there's that. |
| 642 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' episode "Diary", one of [[spoiler:Mordecai's secrets]] is this trope. Made funnier by the fact that he doesn't actually wear clothes. |
| 643 | -->[[spoiler:'''Mordecai:''']] I like going commando! {{beat}}. A LOT! |
| 644 | * ''WesternAnimation/Rugrats2021'': In "The Big Diff", Angelica tells Tommy and Chuckie that they can't be best friends because they're too different, so Tommy tries to be more like Chuckie. He dresses in a blue shirt and green pants and takes off his diaper from inside the latter. When he gets upset over him and Chuckie having to go their separate ways because they're too different (as Chuckie also tried dressing in a blue shirt and a diaper to be more like him), Stu tries to console him, only to discover that he doesn't have his diaper on and issue a code yellow. |
| 645 | -->'''Angelica:''' Well, just goes to show you, you can take the baby out of the diaper, but you shouldn't. |
| 646 | * In the 90's revival of ''WesternAnimation/SecretSquirrel'', it is established in the episode "Voodoo Goat" that voodoo dolls only work when they are used with a personal belonging of the person they are made to resemble, and the Voodoo Goat gets his voodoo dolls of the Chief and Secret Squirrel to work by stealing the Chief's pipe and hair from Secret's tail. When Secret fights back using a voodoo doll of the Voodoo Goat, he gets the doll to work by stealthily swiping the Voodoo Goat's underwear, which results in the villain peeking under his loincloth and remarking that he thought it was drafty. Voodoo Goat presumably remains without underwear for the rest of the episode, as it is never brought up again. |
| 647 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': |
| 648 | ** In "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming", Bart and Lisa get trapped in the Air Force base; Marge comforts herself with the thought that at least Bart is wearing clean underwear. Cut to a shot of his underwear still on his bed. |
| 649 | --->'''Bart:''' Ahhh! Free and easy, Lis'! There's nothing like an unfurnished basement for pure comfort. |
| 650 | ** Naturally, Groundskeeper Willie often goes commando, as evidenced by the BasicInstinctLegsCrossingParody in "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part 2)" (much to the disgust of Chief Wiggum) as well as the scene when Bart pranks Willie by attaching balloons to his kilt (which disgusts the townspeople but leaves Willie unfazed). |
| 651 | --->'''Willie:''' 'Tis not but what God gave me, you puritan pukes! |
| 652 | ** In "Ned 'n' Edna's Blend", Homer, who is portraying Jesus in a Passion Play, is tied onto a cross that is lifted upright by several actors; Sideshow Mel looks up his robe, and he mutters "Looks like ''someone'' didn't follow the underwear rule". |
| 653 | * On the opposite end of the spectrum, the boy in ''ComicBook/TheSnowman'' changes out of his pajamas directly into his clothes without even a pair of Long Johns underneath. Most likely done for humorous effect. |
| 654 | * In the ''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Total Drama World Tour]]'' episode "The Am-AH-Zon Race" the girls find a pair of X-ray glasses in Cody's pocket. Heather teasingly asks Gwen to use them and see what kind of underwear Cody is wearing. He's not. |
| 655 | -->'''Cody:''' ''[blushing]'' Heh-heh... who wears undies in the Amazon?\ |
| 656 | '''Gwen:''' ''[in confessional]'' Everyone! ''Everyone'' wears undies in the Amazon! |
| 657 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' episode "Ice Station -- Impossible!", Rusty confesses that he is not wearing underwear beneath the jumpsuit Professor Impossible gave him. [[spoiler:When his shatters in the cold, this is proven true.]] |
