It stretches. It molds to the body. It's shiny. It's slick. It's cold. It's warm. It makes funny noises. It smells... well, ''[[Shaped Like Itself|rubbery]]''. Rubber, and its polymer cousins, latex and PVC, can be very interesting to the senses, and many people find that sexy.

And sometimes, people go a little overboard with it. This'''Dressed tropeAll in Rubber''' is when someone's attire is mostly rubber, latex or PVC. It can be a fashion statement (especially in Hollywood circles), it can be a power uniform, and it can subliminally say something different altogether. It is usually black in most cases, though white (especially among "[[Naughty Nurse Outfit|naughty nurses]]") and red (among "[[Horny Devils]]") are also common. This is mostly a bondage/fetish/fashion trope, and needless to say, this is ''extreme'' [[Fetish Fuel]].

* Katsuya Shirogane in ''[[Speed Grapher]]'' used a fullbody rubber suit when he was killing people. Well, it's more like his body ''became'' a rubber gimp suit. Euphoric powers are weird (and not very scientific).

* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'': Tomoyo made Sakura a rubber catsuit -- ahemcatsuit—ahem, a [[Meido|maid]] -uniform-like dress with a cat theme, made of rubber for electricity resistance, when facing The Thunder. [[Memetic Outfit|It's become quite popular.]]

** And in ''[[Batman Forever]]'' the love interest of the film mentioned her attraction to black rubber while trying to grope Batman.

** He hilariously went [[Crosses the Line Twice|over the line]] into [[Squick|squicksvillesquick]]sville the time he pulled a PVC facemask out of the front of his PVC hotpants for someone ''else'' to wear...

* Astronema in ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'' wore PVC/Rubber for the first half of the series.

* ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'' has a serial killer that dressed in a full body gimp suit (purchased from a local BDSM shop) to avoid leaving traces. That was probably the least strange thing about him.

* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S6 E4/E04 The Krotons|The Krotons]]'', [[Ms. Fanservice|Zoe]]'s costume consists of a very short PVC skirt and matching jacket.

* While not a webcomic (yet!), [http://dpragan.deviantart.com/ DPRagan's] ''[http://dpragan.deviantart.com/gallery/#Satyri Satyri]'' (''Links very NSFW'') series of illustrations take this to [[Up to Eleven|the next logical step]]: The Satyri are [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-human]] [[Horny Devils|succubi]] who, as a natural result of being partial [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Anthropomorphic Personifications]]s of perversion and lust, have rubber ''skin'' (and a predisposition towards rubber clothing).

** Gimps [(male BDSM rubber/leather slaves]) wear suits and masks of rubber or latex.

** Also used in BDSM as part of the sensory deprivation fetish. Less common than blindfolds but more common than noise-canceling headphones.

* Comedian [[Margaret Cho]], who has claimed to be in the BDSM subculture, has been known to wear latex dresses to public occasions.

** Latex dresses seem to be becoming rather "hip" among the Hollywood elite lately.{{when}}
