unpadded

Lacking soft filling

Unpadded means lacking padding or cushioning.

An unpadded chair offers no soft material between you and the hard surface.

Unpadded bras have no extra material to shape or augment.

The word applies to anything that could have protective or comfort-adding material but doesn't: unpadded gloves, unpadded envelopes, unpadded shoulders.
