Shaving your Vulva for a Gyno Exam

I don't generally shave before a gyno visit. However, my playdoc will usually shave me before conducting his exams.

I try to be tidy when I go to the gynecologist, so I definitely cut along the groin, only once did I go completely hairless

I am lasered so I dont need to worry about shaving

I do not shave before a real exam but before a play exam my hubby usually shaves me.

@JuditL what it painful? Can you describe please? My wife doesn't like and cannot endure even a bit of pain. Thanks!

I get a Brazilian done before any gynecology appointment

The opposite. I usually let it grow out a little. I think the landing strip look at a gyno exam would be more embarrassing

Tonykiko67 it pinches defiantly quiet a bit and can be a bit painful also on some spots

For the record, there's nothing untidy or gross about having natural body hair at the gynecologist's, so long as you're clean. The notion that pubic hair is dirty, untidy, or undesirable is entirely a social construct, basically a stylistic fashion choice that came in and will again go out.

Your doctor doesn't care.

I dont have to as I have always kept myself trim down there even when that wasnt in fashion !!

Answering as a trans masc person who's still got a vagina.

I usually trim to 7mm every so often anyway, but if I know I'll be getting an exam I'm probably less likely to trim just before. I've got quite a hairy stomach and thighs from years on testosterone, so any shorter just looks a bit weird. 7mm is the longest attachment on the trimmer I use, so that's what I go for.

I've shaved completely a few times, before I was on testosterone, and didnt really like the feeling.

Nowadays I don't shave my vulva before gyno exams. There was a time when I was younger, I shaved before every gyno exam haha.

When I had gynecologic surgeries, I wasn't allowed to shave for 2 weeks before surgery to prevent small cuts and infection. So as part of preparation for surgery, I was shaved, but these were the only times I was shaved in a medical context

Yes my vulva is always shaved bare before my gyro exam. I have a separate medical exam annually too at the clinic that ends with my knickers pulled down for a vulva exam. I feel it's easier for her to see everything while she's looking at my outer lips before pulling them apart.

When I was 18 I started having sex and met with a new doctor. My family member took me my first time. I was shaving almost totally bare but with a patch of hair left. The shaving made my pussy really sensitive after. He gave me a very thorough and rather rough exam of my genitals. He had gloves on and my family member sat on the other side of the room without seeing exactly what he was doing. He talked to me the whole time he poked and felt my vulva. He pressed my clit with his fingers hard a few times in different areas. The doctor told me what he was doing and put his gloved fingers in me with one hand. His other hand pulled my labia really far apart. He scolded me for having sex and asked me to tell him how many people I had sex with and what types of sexual acts I engaged in. What type of birth control I used. He put his hands under my butt and then put the cold metal speculum in me. He stretched me wider than I had ever felt before and I was exposed to the cold air. He looked deep inside me he kept his eyes on my pussy the whole time with the speculum. I never met with him again and never had another gyno exam like it. He touched all around my pussy, pressed hard on my clit a few times, and stretched me so wide I had never been stretched out like that. The skin of my pussy was exposed and sore from shaving and then being roughly touched by his hand and pulled tight around the speculum. The patch of hair above my clit didn’t get in his way when he pulled my labia lips apart and touched my pussy top to bottom, outside and inside.

I’m not a shaver down there myself. But I definitely shave my legs and bikini region before an appointment and neaten up my trimmed pubic hair for her.

@redflat Eeks, that was creepy and totally inappropriate.

I always shave before going to the gynecologist and as well as the doctor visits.
