Dem Wa Facebook questions viral trend of ladies walking without innerwear
By Valerian Khakayi, January 18, 2026Digital content creator and influencer Millicent Ayuwa, widely known as Dem Wa Facebook, has sparked debate after questioning a growing trend among women of going out without innerwear.
In a video shared on her official Instagram account on Sunday, January 18, 2026, Dem Wa Facebook asked when women stopped wearing panties or undergarments, highlighting that many now walk confidently in short outfits without anything underneath.
She also said that some have extended the trend to public spaces like towns, clubs, and other crowded areas, asking if women feel completely comfortable doing so.
“Ladies, ni lini muliwacha kuvaa suruali, ni lini mliwacha kuvaa kifuniko ya asali?Yani, siku hizi madem munatembea na confidence unavaa nguo fupi na hauna kitu ndani? Unaenda town, club, mahali kuna watu wengi na uko comfortable?” Dem Wa Facebook questioned.
In addition, the content creator compared the trend to how some women are not wearing petticoats.
She shared her own perspective, saying that she personally feels uncomfortable even in her own sitting room without wearing innerwear, noting that the feeling of legs rubbing against each other in such situations feels awkward to her.
”Mumeamua kuamgusha company ya suruali vile mliangusha ya kamisi?” she added.
”Mimi nikiamka asubihi bila suruali ati niingie sittingroom sikuwangi comfortable na feel tu miguu zinashikana.”
The content creator added that it seems like village girls are not aware of the pantless trend.
“Nikama vienyejii tuko nyuma,” she said.
Pantless trend
Despite the health benefits, some women choose not to wear panties for various reasons.
One common reason is fashion. Some outfits, especially tight dresses, leggings, or light fabrics, can show panty lines, making some women feel uncomfortable or self-conscious. To avoid this, they opt to go pantyless or choose alternative options.
Others say it has become a trend, influenced by social media and celebrities who promote body confidence and freedom in dressing. For some, not wearing innerwear is seen as a personal choice and a way of expressing comfort and confidence.
Importance of underwear
Innerwear plays an important role in women’s health, comfort, and hygiene.
Wearing panties helps protect the body from infections by reducing direct contact between sensitive areas and clothing, which may carry bacteria, dirt, or sweat.
Innerwear also absorbs moisture and discharge, helping to keep the area dry and lowering the risk of infections such as yeast or bacterial infections.
Panties also help prevent friction, which can cause irritation or discomfort, especially when wearing rough or tight clothing.
