Do you prefer examination gowns opening at the front or the back?

When wearing a gown, either for play or real exams do you prefer the opening in the front or the back ?

I have never had a play exam, and the only time I was told to leave it open in the front was at a urologist PA with underwear on which seemed kind of pointless.

At MEDFET my doctor asks me to wear a gown with an opening at the back. During the cardiac and blood pressure assessment I keep the gown on, then for the urological and proctological assessment I take the gown off and am completely naked.

One time during a annual physical my male doctor had me wear a cloth gown, I was told I could keep my boxers on. I wore it with the opening in the front and he pulled my boxers down when it was time to examine my genitals (standing).

I prefer it to open in the back. when u lie down the gown makes a little drape across your thighs blocking you from seeing what's being done to you- makes you jump and flinch a lot more

My MedFet docs do not provide a gown ... naked or brief clad from the start!

Several of my REAL docs have instructed me to remove everything then place gown on with the opening in the back. Gown usually remains at my waist after chest and back auscultation.

I stand ... completely naked ... for the genital/DRE!

For real exams the gowns I’ve worn have always been open to the back. Never gave it any thought about opening to the front and what that would be like.

I never wear them at the doctor's office--only the hospital. I HATE, loathe, and despise those things.

When I examine a woman, I have her undress down to the waist and put on a hospital gown open in back. I auscultate her lungs on her back and sides, then have her lower the gown to expose her bare chest for me to auscultate her lungs in front and auscultate her heart. Then I examine her breasts and abdomen.

I prefer the opening to be in the back.

I prefer opening in the backside, maybe the nurse must perform a rectal exam 😄

Whenever I have been asked to wear a gown, it is always open in the back. The only time I ever wore it otherwise was for radiology testing. Then, I usually am given two gowns. First one open in the front and covered with the second, opened in the back.

I actually have never had a play exam, except in fantasy. Given a preference, I'd rather not wear one at all.

Through all my experiences I’ve never been offered a gown. For school/athletic physicals I always just dropped bottoms for the hernia exam at the end. For ultrasounds never had covering for bottoms just positioned to reduce exposure. Even for a urology exam, didn’t have a gown
