Girls, Do they have to use the stirrups at the gynecologist?

[Anonymous]

I just feel so exposed like that

[comekitty]

Yes, just think about something else and it goes by fast. 🙂

Umm, yes. How else are they going to get to your vagina?

[Asker]

Everyone else seems to manage to get to it lol

It's mainly to ensure you don't accidentally let your feet slip and possibly kick the doctor in the face.

[NotInterestedSorry]

We don't use them where I live. We keep our legs on the bed and keep our feet together but spread our legs apart

Where else are you going to place your feet for a pelvic exam?

[Asker]

I guess I'd like there to be a better way to do a pelvic exam... maybe bent over like they do prostate exams

[Opinion Owner]

That would be extremely difficult to do, especially for speculum exams.

[Asker]

I've avoided that so far luckily... it looks awful

[Opinion Owner]

Time to get in the routine of annual exams and Pap smears. Your apprehension is understandable, but trust me you get used to them.

[Asker]

They open so big, doesn't it hurt?

[Opinion Owner]

Nope. It can feel weird and a little uncomfortable, but you’ll do fine.

You would hate a sex swing.
