What's the best speculum for rectal use

*This post might sound similar to another recent post of mine. However, that post has been closed due to some issues.

I hope to fix those issues with this post.*

I'm looking to get s proper rectal speculum and I was wondering if any of you have experience with them.

I saw that there were a lot of different kinds and I was wondering which one is the best combination between comfort and functionality.

Now I get that a speculum is never going to be comfortable, but it obviously shouldn't hurt either.

I did find a Guttman speculum some time ago but depending on the source it's either a vaginal or rectal speculum.

You obviously shouldn't use a vaginal speculum for a rectum, so maybe some of you have some more info on that.

Other than that feel free to talk about your experience with rectal speculums, either in play or real scenarios. Although I know rectal speculums are rarely used these days, mostly being replaced by proctoscopes etc.

Anyways, if a moderator thinks this topic has issues, please message me with said issues after closing the topic. Ty!

You might want to Google Anoscopes and Proctoscopes, to get an idea of what's out there. Anoscopes are typically 2-pieces that come apart to show a portion of the anal canal, and need to be slipped in 3-4 times to view the entire mucosal canal. Proctoscopes, on the other hand make you look through the to view what's at the end.

@DocH2O I've seen anoscopes and proctoscopes, but they're not quite what I'm looking for.

I personally like the stretch that a speculum would offer as well as just being easier to see into (I'm mostly blind).

If those aren't quite right, then you might want to look up a Mathieu Rectal Speculum. Sims and Barr are two other types. All are available on Amazon.

As a patient in play exams, I have usually been on the receiving end of both anoscopes and proctoscopes. I enjoy these very much. Recently during a play session with a new play doc, he introduced me to the Mathieu rectal speculum. The sensation of being stretched open felt very good, I was almost able to be dilated to the full diameter, but that began to be painful so we backed off. Perhaps with a bit of practice I can go the whole way. I would love to have been able to see what he did, but I'm not confident enough yet to use one on someone else yet. He knew what he was doing which is really important. Pinching on the way out could be a problem, but it was still rather open when he withdrew it. Nice bit of kit, I'll be buying one soon.

I second @DocH2O Mathieu rectal speculum is the best for mild play. They have 3 prongs that provide nice and even stretching. They usually come in two sizes, medium that opens up to just about 1.5" and large that goes up to 2". I have not seen plastic version, stainless steel only, what is best for repeated used. eBay is usually best source, search there for Mathieu speculum, $20-30 price range. Some sex toy shops may have them too, but usually for vastly inflated price.

And very important tip, when inserted and opened, never try to close it! It will result in catching your insides between prongs. Always remove it first before closing!
