Uniform Inspection - TrinianGames/Sapphory GitHub Wiki

Uniform inspection, also known as underwear inspection or panty inspection, is a practice at Saint Alancia's as well as many other Sapphorian High Schools, in which one or more girls are compelled to reveal their underwear to an authority figure for the purposes of verifying that they are wearing regulation white underwear. A girl subjected to this indignity is made to completely unbutton and open her blouse, then lift her skirt up above the top of her panties. She is to remain still in this position while her underwear is inspected. She has no right to refuse, and the teacher or prefect ordering the inspection does not have to justify her actions to anyone.

Philosophy

Uniform inspections have been around for a very long time, and are considered uncontroversial in the Sapphorian educational establishment. Because schools have underwear rules, it makes sense for them to be able to check they are being followed. The reason the underwear rules exist at all is to force girls to conform even in areas that are not normally seen and is a psychological tool to teach compliance and submission to authority. When a girl doesn't even control what panties she may wear, and knows she will be checked, she is being taught obedience. For this reason, Saint Alancia's is zero tolerance on underwear violations and the standard correction is a spanking.

Types of Uniform Inspection

There are two main types of inspection: individual and group. In individual inspections, a single girl is ordered to expose herself and assume the position. This is usually done when a teacher or prefect suspects she is wearing inappropriate underwear. Group inspections usually involve ordering the entire class to reveal themselves at once, and is generally done as a routine check. Most teachers will keep their inspections irregular to ensure that the girls never know on which day an inspection may happen.

While every girl can expect to be inspected from time to time, girls known for bad behaviour or flouting the uniform rules will find themselves subjected to it more often than most.

Variants

On occasion, it has proven necessary for teachers to conduct a more intimate check. (Prefects are only empowered to strip girls to their underwear and no further, so must call a teacher.) In this case, girls can be ordered to remove their bras and/or panties and surrender them to the inspecting teacher. Teachers may confiscate underwear they deem highly inappropriate, though it must be returned at the end of the day after any correction is complete.

As a punishment

Because underwear inspections are a tool of keeping order, they are rarely used punitively, but it has been known for teachers and prefects to order one in response to undesirable behaviour from a girl. Because there is no right to be inspected privately, girls can be made to stand exposed in the middle of the schoolyard as their peers watch while they are slowly and methodically inspected. This method of humiliation is useful for clamping down on bad behaviour.

As a weapon

Saint Alancia's operates a system of rewarding girls who inform on their peers when they see breaches of the rules. This includes underwear violations, and girls see one another's panties multiple times a day due to the shortness of the uniform skirt. However, occasionally a girl will falsely report that a rival is wearing incorrect underwear in order to humiliate her. No one is ever stupid enough to do this more than once, as issuing a false report of this kind will usually get the perpetrator put on the punishment plinth naked.

Reception

It would be an understatement to say that girls hate uniform inspections. There have been numerous attempts by activist school councils over the years to limit or abolish their use. All have failed as the Headmistress has the final say on all disciplinary matters. Even attempts to have them conducted privately are flatly rejected given their usefulness as a deterrent.

On rare occasions, girls have refused to comply with a uniform inspection order. This is usually only done when it is ordered by a prefect as girls willing to stand up to the teachers are rare indeed. Girls who do this are made an example of, lest the trend spread. It is common for them to be put on the punishment plinth completely naked for an extended period of time, then be forced to submit to an intimate inspection on their own in front of their class every day for a week before being forced to publicly apologise to the teacher or prefect who attempted the refused inspection.
