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]].
 
See also [[Latex Space Suit]] and some [[Spy Catsuit]]s. Not to be confused with [[People in Rubber Suits]]. Compare its sister trope, [[Hell-Bent for Leather]].
 
{{examples}}
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Medabots]]'', the Rubber Robo gang was named for their rubber suits. Played more for comedy than [[Fetish Fuel]], however.
Line 28:
* A common fashion in the [[Alternate Timeline]] England of the ''[[Slave World]]'' novels.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* [[wikipedia:Masaki Sumitani|Razor Ramon Hard Gay]]
** "Say say say HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
** He hilariously went [[Crosses the Line Twice|over the line]] into [[squick]]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/E04 The Krotons|The Krotons]]'', [[Ms. Fanservice|Zoe]]'s costume consists of a very short PVC skirt and matching jacket.
 
Line 52:
* Latex is also a popular garment choice among dominatrices.
* 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}}
* Latex pants have slowly (but steadily) started to expand out of the BDSM scene, thanks to the fact they're tight, shiny and [[Male Gaze|highly alluring]]. They're usually combined with other dominatrix-inspired clothes for a general sultry (but not outright aggressive) image.
