Has anyone incorporated fiber optic scopes into their play exams?

Has anyone incorporated fiber optic scopes into their exams either with others or solo? If so where have you placed them?

No but that sound interesting. Have you done it? If so, it would be good to know more about it. Denise

Fiber optic scopes are really old now and low quality your better off with the new camera scopes or snake cam with temu or amazon theres a ton of them from 20 bucks and up even steerable

Thanks! I will look info those

I bought an endoscope on Amazon 2 yrs ago. Under $30. It works, sort of... it's listed as 'semi-rigid' which means fairly stiff and difficult to bend around corners. Images are mediocre at best. Issue concerning amount of lube used for insertion in anus - too much and it covers the lens. Also, a squirt of air after insertion helps expand the rectum for better view. Variable light is great. All in all, it is a fun toy to play with.

Thanks for the information @Tummypro and @E42

I just received my new endoscope from Amazon. Looking forward to seeing what I look like on the inside.

I’ve heard very mixed things but this would be high on my list for play exams. Biggest issue for anal use at least seems to be needing to figure out a way to insert air to get a decent view. And of course you’ve got to be careful not to get too excited and push things too far (literally and figuratively) for safety reasons. Sterilization can be an issue too but not as pressing I suppose if you’re only using it with one person.

Ive got one, flexible thin wire with a cam and led on top.

but it works bad for me

And I dont see so much, hardly nothing.

I think its because its too thin and you need to add air to expand the anal to get a better view.

Any suggestions of how I can get it to work better or better toys that don't cost too much?

I've found the same issue of not being able to see much, particularly during insertion. I get a clearer picture as I extract the camera once it is inserted to its full length.

Never tried it myself, but I figure it should be relatively straightforward to get some aquarium air hose or similar, bundle it to the scope one way or another, then use a small hand pump or something to insert air as the scope is worked in. Would limit the maneuverability of the scope itself I imagine, but we’re not trying to do actual colonoscopies here, I’d be happy just getting a bit past the rectum.

Thank you

I must try this more to see difference

Here's more about it . . .

A day after paying Amazon $61.59, I received my very own Anykit Articulating Borescope, 210° Two-Way 0.22in Slim Probe Endoscope with High-Brightness LED Lights, 4.3" IPS HD Video Inspection Snake Camera.

I was less than impressed with the articulating borescope. While it was interesting and fun to fool around with the camera, it was hard to control even with the articulating capability that can bend left or right, but not forward and backwards.

The camera does not focus when brought into extreme close-up shots. Sadly, pretty much everything in the rectum is up close and personal. Every so often I was able to accidentally get a view of some folds of skin or the length of the rectum, but it was so random and I could not replicate whatever maneuver I made to get the shot in the first place.

I did notice that when inserted the camera a ways up inside and then withdrew it, I got a few good shots on the way out.

When I tried filling my rectum with air, as was suggested, and then later with water, to expand the anatomy so the camera could look around with some clarity, it did help some but not enough to justify buying the articulating borescope, at least for me.

It sounds like others have had better luck or skill to make it a better experience.

@Vasbyt that’s too bad. I’m sure there’s something out there useable with all the advancements in camera tech these days, just a matter of finding it I suppose.

I bought a real scope that doctors use to do colon checks many years ago, it has air and light so you can see some interesting things when you look around. the worst thing is pumping air in and always finding poop.

That sounds really cool. Instead of the cleanout you do before a colonoscopy from the top down with chemicals, just do a series of three high enemas with a soapy one and then two rinses. That should make your clear and clean as far up as you could probably get with your scope.

.

If you are using a camera as talked about. Start with several high enemas. First one with some soap suds X two to three quarts, then at least two rinses, as much as is comfortable again two to three quarts. Rest for at least a couple hours, this will also alow your colon to absorbe any of the extra enema.

As for the air either get a bulb used for a blood pressure cuff or one used for small air bags, or even a primer bulb for an outboard boat engine. A small colon tube or urinary catheter and some hose that fits your bulb. Even an enema bulb syringe tubing and clamp will work.

Lubricate the colon tube and anus very well. Start the colon tube and then add enough air to allow to easily find its way through the rectum . You will need some air to open the second sphincter to the opening of the colon. Once the colon tube is started in the colon a bit more air should alow it to easily advance the decending colon up to the sharp curve before the transverse colon.

Now you can advance the camera into the anus. You can add air if necessary and follow the colon tube up to the bend. It's higly doubtfull you can go further than the curve. When your finished first remove the camera. Then allow the air to escape leaving the colon tube in place for a while. You may even want to get up and move around a bit to help with the air. Then slowly remove the colon tube.

If you get a cheap endoscope to use with a phone and it has a soft cord. This is what I would recommend. Simply get some silicone tubing 5/16 I'd about 3 ft long slide the camera through. Make a plug to hold the camera and seal the tubing. Recess the camera a bit, maybe an 1/8 yo a 1/4 inch. This will help keeping the lube off the lense.

Play safe never force anything. There should be absolutely no pain only some pressure or slight cramping from the air. Don't over use the air, just enough to keep the colon open to visualize the area.
