* In ''TheSimpsons'', Flanders wears a bathing suit in the bathtub. When Homer asks why, he responds "So I don't see my own shrinky-dink."

[[caption-width-right:360:NOT COOL! That totally defeats the purpose of a bath scene.]]
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 {{Bathtub Bonding}} between a man and a woman. Sometimes no one seems to mention or even notice that the character is still clothed. 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.

!!Examples:

[[AC:{{Anime}} & {{Manga}}]]

* ''GalaxyAngelRune'''s HotSpringsEpisode.... at least until the {{transvestite}} dorm manager shows up with just a towel and yells at them for going it wrong.
* In the "Bathhouse Battle" chapter/episode of ''RanmaOneHalf'', Happousai wages a desperate battle with Ranma to breach the women's side of a public bath house only to discover Akane and Nabiki wearing swimsuits (a sensible precaution, knowing Happousai.) (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.)
** 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.
* The ending credits to ''{{Seikon no Qwaser}}'' shows all the main female characters in a bathtub filled with water but with their clothes soaking wet and on them.

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* In the ''{{XXXenophile}}'' story "The Spirit Is Willing", the spirit of a girl who died in the shower notes that the male hero still wears his shorts, and she asks whether he always does so. [[PlotWithPorn Apparently not.]]

[[AC:{{Film}}]]

* The kid in ''BigDaddy''. Likely to eliminate any very UnfortunateImplications of Adam Sandler bathing a little kid.
** Lampshaded: The child asks why he has to wear a bathing suit, and Sandler responds that he doesn't know the rules for bathing.

* ''RockAndRollHighSchool'' - Riff is fantasizing about the Ramones serenading her in her room. She goes to take a bath and is delighted to find Dee Dee fully clothed under the shower.
* In CourageMountain, Heidi is upbraided by the school's teachers for ''not'' doing this.

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]

* The 2006 series of ''RobinHood'' did this and Lampshaded it where [[{{TheWoobie}} Much]] gets a servant girl:
-->'''Much:''' You could take a bath? (she begins undressing) I meant pour your own bath! And wear a bath-shirt!

-->'''JD:''' Shower shorts. For the man who has nothing to hide, but still wants to.
* ''StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "The Naked Time": When a group of people are infected with an insanity-causing substance, one of them freezes to death while taking a shower with his clothes on.

[[AC:RealLife]]
* This is true of public hot tubs (or indeed any hot tub) where the intention is to soak and not bathe.
* This is normal in some public showers.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* ''TheSims 3'': Sims with the Never Nude trait are, well, exactly what you'd expect.
** In the iPod port of Sims games, ''everyone'' is a Non Nude Bather.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* In ''{{George of the Jungle}}'', Maggie simply jumps into a bathtub still wearing her clothes.
