[[folder:Advertising]]
* Censor Suds (and a variant, shower lotion suds) are frequently used as a device in advertisements for bath and shower products. Advertising in English-speaking countries such as the USA and Great Britain is constrained by rigorous expectations as to how much bare female flesh can be seen on screen. Censor suds are liberally used in an attempt to square this particular circle - "how do we imply people bathe naked, without actually at any point ''showing'' it?" Comparable European adverts, however, suggest Dutch or French or German bath soaps give you a lot less bubble for your euro, and the emphasis here is on cleansing the body.

In fact, it goes one better once Loki's out of the shower - one panel has a very strategically placed ''[[SpeechBubbleCensoring speech bubble]]'' censor.

* In the Creator/RobertAHeinlein science fiction novel ''Literature/TheMoonIsAHarshMistress ''the protagonist is sharing a hotel room with a woman [[ExoticExtendedMarriage who is not one of his wives]]. He hands her a drink while she's in the bathtub, but notes "nor had I seen sights; she was shoulder deep in happy suds". (Although Lunar society doesn't have much of a nudity taboo in any event.)

Added DiffLines:

* One round in the XY chapter of ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' features an Electrike stealing Y's clothes, so her Froakie uses its frubbles to cover her up. For the English translation, [[{{Bowdlerize}} Viz drew in a modest sports bra underneath]], making Froakie's foam seem redundant.

* {{Invoked|Trope}} by [[VideoGame/Splatoon2 Pearl]] in Chapter 7 of ''Fanfic/IveGotYourBack'', and for a distinct lack of fanservice. Whenever she has to help an [[DisabledInTheAdaptation injured]] Marina bathe, she deliberately overloads the tub with bath bombs to give Marina the security that she won't be seen naked. All this, on the off chance that Pearl's makeshift blindfold[[note]], a pair of pilot goggles stuffed with clean black socks,[[/note]] were to fail.
