There's enough male examples (not even including the one I just added) that the description would make more sense being gender-neutral. (I'm leaving the "women in the bath" part since that's more of the history and not the current use, and I doubt there were that many male fully-soaped up bath scenes at the time.)


Much like CensorSteam, this trope is when a female 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. On top of that, the suds in real life will slide off one's body and it would take a lot (as in, the tub would have to look like a root beer float or a beer that's mostly head) to cover the naughty bits completely.
