In this work a lolita raises her dress to display her striped panties.

A fetish for striped panties (or shimapan) rapidly spread through otaku culture, quickly becoming an established visual meme.

Anime and manga capitalized on the panties’ popularity and depicted characters wearing them, inevitably helping to further the trend.
