* Pictured above: In episode 49 of ''Manga/DragonBall Z'', [[MsFanservice Bulma]] stands up in her bubble bath and bends over, conveniently covered by soap suds.

Much like CensorSteam, this trope is when a character is taking a bubble bath and seems to have the suds from the bath conveniently covering the private parts of her body when she gets out, and also while inside of the bath. In real life this does happen, but not nearly so selectively as this trope might lead you to believe.

* At the end of [[TheOneWith the ice palace episode]] of ''SonicX'', [[FetishFuel Rouge the Bat]] is seen taking a bath, holding a [[spoiler:fake]] Chaos Emerald in her hand. Bubbles cover everything. Oddly, she's wearing her WhiteGloves in the bath.

* HarryPotter in ''GobletOfFire'' takes a bath filled with various types of suds and bubbles, which proves useful when Myrtle crashes the party. This is done in the film version as well. Myrtle also remarks that when Cedric was there, he remained long enough for the bubbles to vanish.

* In the ''LadyLumpsVSBoyBumps'' video "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ennbJY9FqhQ Dr. Doom Likes to Watch]]", everyone whom [[FantasticFour Dr. Doom]] watches shower is censored by bubbles.

* In ''InuYasha'', there is a rare male example. Inu-Yasha has convenient bubbles/houseplant/etc upon him bursting out of the bath.
* Played with in ''SailorMoon'': Fish-Eye at one point takes a shower, and we see suds covering his chest. Apparently, he got a little too into the part (and before anyone asks, yes, they were there originally).

* This was done in the 1983 {{NBC}} PilotMovie ''The Invisible Woman''. Because Alexa Hamilton's character was invisible, only her pubis had any soap suds on it when she rose to leave the bathtub.

* HarryPotter in ''GobletOfFire'' takes a bath filled with various types of suds and bubbles, which proves useful when Myrtle crashes the party. This is done in the film version as well.

* In ''{{Soul Eater}}'', Blair, Tsubaki, and others are conveniently (barely) covered in soap suds.

* Gozer the Gozerian seems to be permanently covered in these in ''{{Ghostbusters}}''.

* In the ''{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}'' episode "Squid's Day Off", Squidward runs out of his bubble bath still naked, covered by bubbles, as they slowly pop one by one.

* In the old CD-ROM game ''Babyz'', censor suds will act as an inpromptu diaper after you take them out of the bath, and will go away only with the application of a fresh diaper.

* MenageA3 inverts and plays this trope straight as censorship demands

* In the LadyLumpsVSBoyBumps video [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ennbJY9FqhQ Dr. Doom Likes to Watch]], everyone [[FantasticFour Dr. Doom]] watches shower is censored by bubbles.

* In the ''SpongebobSquarepants'' episode "Squid's Day Off", Squidward runs out of his bubble bath still naked, covered by bubbles, as they slowly pop one by one.
* In ''{{Caillou}}'', one episode shows his parents bathing him with suds covering his privates.

* At the end of [[TheOneWith the ice palace episode]] of ''SonicX'', [[FetishFuelStationAttendant Rouge the Bat]] is seen taking a bath, holding a [[spoiler:fake]] Chaos Emerald in her hand. Bubbles cover everything. Oddly, she's wearing her WhiteGloves in the bath.

* ''Series/SueThomasFBEye'' had Sue take a bath in a tub completely ''piled'' with soapsuds. The only skin showing was her neck, head, and arms. For some reason, a snippet of this scene made it into the OpeningTheme sequence.

----

* ''Series/{{Wings}}'' done this with Helen in one episode, and for a good cause since her [[ItMakesSenseInContext 'husband']] Antonio showed up.
* Duncan's bathtub scene in {{Highlander}} "Chivalry".

* The {{Highlander}} episode 'Chivalry'. Duncan's bathtub scene.
