strips

Removes all clothing

Strips are long, narrow pieces cut or torn from something larger: strips of bacon, strips of cloth, a strip of land along the coast.

To strip is to remove a covering or outer layer—stripping paint, stripping bark, stripping clothes.

A strip is also a sequence of drawn panels telling a story (comic strip) or a road lined with businesses (the Vegas Strip).

To strip someone of rank or privilege is to take it away forcibly.
