History Main / NonNudeBathing

* In the horror film ''Sick Nurses'', one of the nurses takes a shower fully clothed. Evidently, the makers of this film ''really'' wanted to avoid nudity.

* In ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', whenever we see [[TheNapoleon Eddy]] showering for any reason, he's wearing his underwear or swimming trunks. [[spoiler:The fact that he was physically abused by his older brother for most of his life edges this into FridgeHorror.]]

* In ''Series/MartialLaw'', when the BuddyCops go undercover in prison, the black cop goes to the shower in shorts and shirt in fear of PrisonRape.

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', Fem Shepard can let Samantha Traynor take a shower, which she does wearing BlackBraAndPanties. Shepard can join her in there as well.

* On the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "WesternAnimation/HareTonic", Elmer Fudd rushes into the shower when he thinks he has contracted "the dread disease Rabititus" from WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. The gag is that Bugs is in the shower as well, pretending to be the faucet, but what's also funny is that Elmer is still wearing a tank top and boxer shorts.

A character takes a shower or a bath without being naked or is shown in the bath or shower in their underwear, a swimsuit or regular clothes. This may happen during BathtubBonding. Sometimes no one seems to mention or even notice that the character is still clothed. The obvious reason: It's a heck of a lot easier to film (for a PG rating!) than if the bather were nude. Frequently results when a DigitalBikini is added to edited anime. Sometimes, it's the result of a ShowerShy character being forced into a situation where they need to shower in a locker room or what have you. In videogames, it's usually because the character is supposed to ''actually be'' nude in-universe, but the game's rating means the devs had to use an underwear-clad character model.

* ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}'': In chapter 222, [[MsFanservice Nene]] is taking a shower at her house while one of the split up mini forms of Furuichi is hiding in the bathroom [[EatingTheEyeCandy watching]] her SexySilhouette from a distance. When Nene walks out of the shower, it's [[CensorSteam steamy and she looks as if she is completely naked]] while drying herself off with a ModestyTowel (Furuichi makes a 4th wall breaking comment asking if the CensorSteam is going to be removed when this chapter gets printed in the volumes). She then reveals to him that she knew he was going to try to peek and the steam clears up to show that she was actually showering in a bikini the whole time. But he says that it still doesn't matter to him because it still gets him off.

** In the "Bathhouse Battle" chapter/episode, Happôsai wages a desperate battle with Ranma to breach the women's side of a public bath house only to discover Nabiki {{invoked}} this and the girls are wearing bathing suits (a sensible precaution, knowing Happôsai). Note that the traditional Japanese bathing practice of washing before you soak in the tub doesn't require one to be nude in the tub itself.
*** It's actually [[ZigzaggingTrope zigzagged all over the place]] in that episode. At first, most of the girls are naked,including the named characters, as seen when Akane and Nabiki look over the wall. Then, when Happosai finally gets over to the girls' side (and gets Ranma out of his hair momentarily), most of the random girls in the background are unclothed but Akane has donned her swimsuit, as have Nabiki and her unnamed friends. Then, later when Happosai is using [[IKnowKungFaux Bathhouse-Fu]] to knock Ranma around, Akane [[InvokedTrope invokes]] an in-universe DoubleSubversion on Happosai by loudly calling that it must be safe to take their suits off (although the trick is pretty obvious to the audience).
** Later on, when (due to a misunderstanding about Ranma's masculinity) the family has to convince Ranma's mother Nodoka that he IS man enough to want to peek at naked girls in the bath, they set up a whole production to give this impression. There were even strategically-placed soap suds and bubbles as Akane bathed. But when Ranma accidentally barged in (instead of peeking from the door like he was supposed to) and Akane got out of the tub, it turned out she was wearing a strapless one-piece and -- this being a black and white manga -- the soap suds only gave the ''impression'' she was naked.

* In the ''ComicBook/{{Tintin}}'' story ''Tintin and the Picaros'', Professor Calculus is shown bathing in a bath robe and still wearing his trade-mark hat.

* One chapter of ''Fanfic/AvantasiaProtagAU'' focuses on trouble Aaron gets into when extremely sleep deprived. One of the things that happens is he goes to take a shower and is found two hours later fully clothed and asleep in the water.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse:'' the flashback to Peter B.'s divorce from Mary Jane include him sitting in a ShowerOfAngst in his full Spider-Man costume.

* In ''Film/{{Hunk}}'', O'Brien goes to take a shower and finds Dr. D. already in the cubicle wearing a wetsuit, dive mask and snorkel. Becuase he is her boss (and [[{{Satan}} the Devil]], she gets in the shower with him anyway.

* In ''Film/TheWarWagon'', Lomax tells Billy that any man who shares his horse has to be sober and clean, and then throws him into the river fully clothed. Lomax tosses him a bar of soap and billy starts washing himself... over his clothes.

* Standard procedure in several RealityShows around the world, since the people on the shower know that the scene may be broadcast.

* In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', south of Windhelm, a few hunters can be seen relaxing in the hotsprings in their underwear.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'', whoever visits the Mt. Gagazet hot springs does so either in swimsuits, or ''in their regular NPC clothes''.

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', Fem Shepard can let Samantha Traynor take a shower, which she does wearing a BlackBraAndPanties. Shepard can join her in there as well.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E20HomeAwayFromHomer Home Away From Homoer]]", Homer [[ShowerOfAwkward barges in on Ned Flanders while he's in the bath]] and finds out Flanders wears a bathing suit in the bathtub. When Homer asks why, he responds "So I don't see my own shrinky-dink." (Homer, slowly: "...Makes sense.")

* On the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "WesternAnimation/HareTonic", Elmer Fudd rushes into the shower when he thinks he has contracted "the dread disease Rabititus" from WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. The gag is that Bugs is in the shower as well, pretending to be the faucet, but what's also funny is that Elmer still has his briefs on.

* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': (JD at work)

* ''Series/TheWilds'': None of the girls ever fully strip naked while washing off in the ocean, instead stripping to their underwear. Taken to an extreme by Nora, who washes herself while wearing pants and a long-sleave shirt- even conservative Shelby is in a midrift-baring top.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderverse:'' the flashback to Peter B.'s divorce from Mary Jane include him sitting in a ShowerOfAngst in his full Spider-Man costume.
