Favorite type of speculum

I have a Graves and Collins but I prefer the latter. It allows a wider "range" of opening. I haven't heard of some of the ones mentioned, but I am very curious about the guttman and trelat speculums. There's more than one way to open an orifice.

I will often use more than one in a play exam if my patient is into specumums and being opened up. For me the best one is the one that my patient enjoys the most. From my end, they all have their fun aspects.

My favorite is whatever one is opening me up. ? If I get a choice, it's a cold Collins.

Well I have a stainless steel medium Collins that my husband used when he gives me a play exam and I have had it about 9 months. I think it is easy to use and it feels comfortable and it does not need to be turned. It is easy to clean after it has been used too.

I have just got a stainless steel Graves and I have cleaned it ready but I have not used it yet. I can not know which one I prefer yet and I need to wait until Saturday when my husband will have time to give me a play exam.

I do have a large collection of different and various sizes of speculum .

I mostly use my Collins large or graves medium on myself . I have to admit though the Collins does open wider than the graves and is more comfortable .

I do have a trelat speculum in my collection . I've only used it once up to now so I can't really comment on how it feels inside . It is quite a heavy speculum though .

My husband did give me a play exam today and he did use my new stainless steel Graves. It was well lubed up so it felt ok when he turned it really carefully inside me. It felt a bit different to the Collins because it opens top to bottom and not side to side like the Collins one. I think it looks a bit better than the Collins when it is opened up too, my husband showed it to me in a mirror. I thought the stainless steel feels better than the plastic ones, no creaks and it does not feel like it will collapse or break. I have a thing about the gleaming steel handle on the Graves too.

Well I think I prefer the Graves just a little bit but we will keep using the Collins one too. I will just need 2 speculum exams when I am given a play exam. 😜

Ready, set, go! What is your favorite type of speculum? For me the metal graves feels best, I'm curious to try a collins. Ladies and gents, share your preferences 😉

My fav... hands down...metal Collins

Opens to access urethral opening...provides access to clit...full vaginal access

Can be used anally also...excellent overall using plus...women like it...it’s “comfy”

My favorite to use on MrsFn is the Trelat speculum. It is easy to open like the Collin, but on a rack and pinion so the blades can be opened parallel. It has a nice heft to it, weight wise also.

The Collins can be had in different sizes and different opening angles. For play exams, the stainless steel goes in nicely after sitting in a pan of warm water. For punishment inspections, I keep it in the freezer until she is draped and prepped....You might need more lube to begin....but it stays put really well until it warms up to body temperature. I like this type and she likes what I like.

I should mention that I believe MrsFn's favorite is the Mathieu three blade rectal speculum. She loves it when I very slowly spread her rectum open with it. I usually open her tight puckered hole enough to fit my index finger in her between the blades without touching them. Then I will pick a spot between two of the blades and gently rub her stretched rectum wall with a lubed finger. It drives her wild! Sometimes I think she is going to wiggle her ass right off the exam table!

@specialuse and @DrFn have me intrigued, we agree on the collins 😉 Would love to feel being opened that way, the trelat also sounds divine

I examined a lady who had her own collection of speculums. The collection included a Collins, a Trelat, and a Ferguson. She also had a weighted Auvard and an Equine speculum. Now that was seriously heavy! I have the photos somewhere....

I’ve got a small metal cursco speculum for people to use on me (I’m a trans guy).

I don’t find any type of vaginal penetration comfortable but find this speculum to be easier to deal with than others (Collins and some type of plastic one) that I’ve had used on the past.

Only issue is that it’s a bit fiddly if I try and use it on myself, but I’ve rarely done that. I can take it easier if I’m in full on medical mode, so it’s better if someone else inserts it.

Collins. It gives the lateral stretch many patients crave and a great view of the urethra for swabbing/catheterizing.

@specialuse and @DrFn have me intrigued, we agree on the collins 😉 Would love to feel being opened that way, the trelat also sounds divine

@zazazooie, I believe you will love both the Collin and the Trelat speculum. I hope you have them used on you and have fun! 😉

Metal! The Collins is nice, but my go-to choice would be a medium Graves. Not sure that I've been examined with any of the other types, so this is my current fave.

Cusco

Collins, and the bigger, the better.

It **should** hurt.

The metal Collins is a nice speculum to use, it opens gradually and smoothly with no sudden uncomfortable movements. But it is a fairly heavy instrument and the blades are rather wide so some women might find it uncomfortable. The Cusco seems to be the go to speculum in the UK and probably the most widely used in the NHS. One of my play patients had a collection of her own speculums including a Collins and a Trelat, but she also had a Ferguson. The Ferguson is just a simple hollow metal tube that you insert and move around until the cervix comes into view. The benefit of the Ferguson is that the movement inside the vagina as the cervix is being located can feel pleasurable for some women, and can lead to orgasm during a play exam....

I am a fan of the Collins Metal Speculums although a Graves is used occasionally in my play room it all depends.

We have to go with the Collins here. The wife loves the feeling of being opened side to side. I personally would love to add a Trelat to our goodie bag!
