A character, usually male, has to get into a group shower for the first time, but finds the idea of getting naked in front of others uncomfortable. He will often try to avoid having to take a shower using various excuses, before finally summoning up the courage to go through with it, realizing he has no reason to be ashamed. This trope is mostly found in series set in a school, where the character is a student who has to shower with his classmates after PE. Adolescent kids are often going through puberty and enduring the Appearance Angst that comes with it, so being naked in front of their peers understandably cranks those insecurities to extremes. It also inflicts Trans Tribulations on anybody with dysphoria. Although group showers are the most common example, it can also apply to other places where people are usually naked, like during a Public Bathhouse Scene. Truth in Television for many people, of course. |

An episode of Beavis and Butt-Head has Coach Buzzcut trying to force the boys to take a shower after gym, which they've never done before. They stall, and get ready to get in when everyone else has left. Suddenly, the fire alarm rings and Buzzcut forces the two to leave immediately without letting them get dressed. The two get stuck outside in their underwear, with the whole school laughing at them. It's then shown that Principal McVicker and Buzzcut intentionally set off the fire alarm to get back at them. | |

Sense8: Played for drama in a story Nomi tells about being forced to join a swim club as a child. As she hadn't yet come out as transgender she was uncomfortable during the mandatory showers due to dysphoria about her appearance. Her attempt to cover up with a t-shirt just led to the other boys bullying her with homophobic slurs. | |

As Told by Ginger In "Gym Class Confidential", the gym teacher at Carl and Hoodsey's elementary school makes a rule that everyone must shower after gym class. Hoodsey is not too fond of doing so, but Carl manages to convince him otherwise at the end of the episode. Another episode reveals that no girl in Ginger's class ever showers after gym class because the stalls are so gross, until Courtney does it to be safe during a lice epidemic. |

Ayakashi Triangle: Since Matsuri was male most of his life and keeps this a secret, he's averse to undressing or bathing with girls even while living as one. He changes clothes as fast as possible for gym class and refused to join Yayo and Lu in a hot spring until they started pulling his clothes off themselves. They think "she" is just shy, though ironically Matsuri has very little personal modesty — he just thinks it's wrong for him to look at girls in his position, even if they don't know. When his grandpa suggests Suzu (who does know he was male) could wash Matsuri in the bath, he's alarmed to the point it becomes the subject of an illusion he's put into later that day. | |

My Gym Partner's a Monkey: At the beginning of "The Frog Principal," Adam doesn't want to shower in front of his classmates after gym class, but Jake tells him that he won't pass the "Sniff Test," which is given by Coach Gills' assistant to ensure that the students shower after class. Adam covers himself and Jake (who is actually okay with showering after P.E.) in a cologne called "Man Fume" so that he can avoid bathing. This works, but the cologne contains "100% animal pheromones", which causes all of the females in the school to become attracted to the duo and start chasing after them. | |

An episode of Monk sees Adrian forced to go to a gym to retrieve a duffel bag full of money as part of an attempt to rescue a hostage. Via phone, the kidnappers tell him he has to get undressed and don a robe from the locker with the bag, then take the bag to the roof. He balks, they tell him it's to make sure he's not wearing a wire. He walls himself in with towels and the doors of the adjoining lockers for privacy...and still keeps his pants on but rolls the legs up past the hem of the robe. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: The hot springs scene reveals that Nia doesn’t want others to see her chest, so when she’s in the spring, she always keeps it submerged. Mythra (and by extension, Pyra) finds out why, but promises to keep it a secret from everyone. The reason why is because she’s a Flesh Eater, thus, she has a unique Core Crystal on her chest. Due to previous bad experiences regarding her identity, Nia was worried about what would happen if her friends found out the truth. Thankfully, when they do find out, they accept her with open arms. | |

A CollegeHumor sketch featured a POV of a "typical" dorm bathroom, wherein The Protagonist takes note of another student stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel over his swim trunks. After asking, "How self-conscious can you be?" another student steps out of the shower fully-clothed and wraps himself in a towel. | |
