Low budget/total newbie with no gear...is medfet possible?

Hello! I'm looking for advice because at least for me, a big part of what makes medfet appealing is the "uniform" and the toools (doctor's coat, gloves, stethoscope, masks, needles, scalpels, etc.) but at most I'll only be able to afford the gloves and the masks:""") and a bedroom setting isn't very clinical. Any tips on how to up the ambience without breaking the bank? I've thought of spraying disinfectant and clothes similar enough to scrubs, but any ideas are welcome.

(Also, srry if incorrectly tagged)

Medical posters if you can find them, maybe on-line. Do you have thrift stores where you are? I have picked up a few things cheaply there.

Good luck with your search and welcome to Zity.

Welcome, and medfet is different for everyone. You mentioned masks. That is literally my only medfet, although I have some fascination with the rest of the medical environment because I've had to be in and out of the hospital so much. But masks are the only fetish for me, per se. I know what I like regarding masks just through web research, learning all the NIOSH classifications (N95, P100, etc), and just doing image searches.

Masks (and gloves) are something that can be used in home healthcare, not just the hospital setting. And a lot of my fantasies are just that.

Good luck, and explore and ask.

I'm on a budget as well. My collection is mostly items I found in vacant apartments and such. I have a vintage massage table that one day I will put some stirrups on. Also found a stethoscope, glass thermometer, and a pen light. The only items I've paid for is a speculum, gloves, and tongue depressors. One day I hope to explore an abandoned hospital and see if I could find anything worth using there.

Check out second hand and resale shops. You may find clothing that looks more "medical/clinical" or even vintage equipment, in the right place. Maybe you could hang sheets around the bedroom to give it a more ER type feel. One doesn't have to spend a lot to start out.

Charity shops, antique / junk shops, e-bay etc. all can occasionally produce a medical gem. My greatest bargain was at a county agricultural show where £5 bought me a large shoebox crammed with medical stuff including a large chromed steel speculum with perspex dilators (Is that the right word? Anyway the duck billed parts that open you up!)

I frequented a hospital dumpster after hours for quite some time collecting cabinets etc. for my shop. Eventually hit pay dirt with a perfectly good exam table. It was a heavy lift but I got it loaded in my truck. Antique store yielded two speculums.

Definitely possible! I think most of the basics are available either in retail pharmacies or on amazon/online. There isn't a pre-determined "minimum setup", but I personally think the basic setup is as follows: stethoscope, BP cuff, thermometer, reflex hammer, exam gloves, isopropyl alcohol or hand sanitizer, lubricant of some variety. Labcoat, tongue depressors, and pulse oximeter +/- here too. Scrubs are also pretty cheap to get too. You can also find cheap or used otoscopes pretty easily as well.

There are certainly more advanced things that aren't actually hard to get: anoscopes, vaginal speculum, urethral sounds. Needles and scalpels too. Granted, you would need to get familiar/training to use these safely. They also make massage tables that are in the $100 USD range, and if nothing else wax/parchment paper essentially is exam table paper. If you are really trying to create a vibe, a scale and medical posters would be really cool.

I think more to the point: if you are decent with a play physical exam, the basics more than suffice for many medical fetishists. Beds or tablets can easily double as exam surfaces too. A great exam with basic tools will always be more satisfying than a poor exam with great tools. I think spending time learning the basic exam components and how to properly do rectal and genital exams will be time well spent.

If you're looking for supplies on a budget, second-hand is your friend! If you live in a city, it may be easier to access materials. I don't have a lot of room in my current living space, but enjoy checking the locale out of curiosity. There are entire exam tables that sell for less than half the price of a new Littmann steth. Clothing thrift stores are likely to have some scrubs about, too. For lower-budget essential supplies, I'd definitely recommend the standard gloves, rubbing alcohol/wipes, and some sort of gel/lubricant.

If you're not looking for gear, it's still quite possible. For a lot of people, medfet is just as much, if not more, about the procedural process than it is about the tools. (Besides, tools will only carry you so far as you can use them effectively.) A bed is also far better suited to a medplay scene than it is most other fetishes. You can play it off as an exam table/cot or even play out a home visit. You can also highlight parts of exams for which tools aren't 100% required. For example, while you wouldn't be able to take BP or temp, you can check someone's heart rate manually. You could also reasonably play out the overview of a general dermatologist exam, albeit without a dermatoscope or performing a biopsy.

I’ve found some great bargains on Temu and similar sites, you can even pick up white lab coats for under AUD$10!

Good luck hunting down all your equipment, that’s half the fun. As others have said, it’s smart to prioritise the pieces you want most first.
