Sims Speculum or Weighted Vaginal Spec

Hi everyone! First of all let me say that I am thoroughly enjoying this site! It is so refreshing to find so many others who share in my passion for "realistic" medical exams. My question is this....yesterday while browsing ebay in hopes of finding some new equipment to play with, I came across a "weighted" metal vaginal speculum. I consider myself to be rather "schooled" when it comes to all kinds of speculums, but this was a new one on me! It looked as if it would be delightful to play with. However, I would like to know if anyone out there has any idea why a weighted spec would be used in a realistic medical exam versus a standard graves or collins spec. Also to any ladies that might have had one used on them before, could you please describe your experience for me? Thanks!!!

It is for surgery ONLY It is called an auvard speculum

Yes they are designed to be used during surgery when the patient is under anaesthetic and has been given a muscle relaxant so that they can tolerate the stretching. The grove in the instrument allows fluids to drain out of the vagina into a receptacle – particularly useful if a D & C or Abortion is being undertaken. They are weighty – but very nice to handle. I have used one during a play exam but took the majority of the weight on my knee to prevent undue discomfort.

Had one used on me during a play exam and it certainly is not comfortable. I loved it.

I have considered this as they are quite round, but afraid I may end up in the ER because it broke. Just wonder how safe this is?

I would Love to be examined with one. there is another speculum I have seen that is inserted like a tampon and inflated w/ a syringe

That sounds interesting - do you know what they are called?

I think what he was referring to is the FemSpec.

Although the site (www.femspec.com) has apparently moved/changed to FemSuite (with no mention of the FemSpec anywhere sadly), They still have the pages for the FemSpec up, just buried in a folder or two.

Sadly, it seems these are no longer available, now replaced by the FemEye camera?

The weighted speculum hangs down below the table it holds the vagina open to access the cervix. Usually used for laser surgery to keep hands free. Wouldn't be my first choice of toy. 😢

I think it would be my fist choice of speculum. As i said i had it used on me during a play exam, It is very uncomfortable and actually is somewhat painfulI would have liked to see how stretched open i was. I just felt so open expecially when he was working inside me. i was strapped down to the table and to the stirrups and completely draped except for my vaginal area. That was the best play exam ive had.

I love seeing a weighted speculum in use – especially if used together with a Sims speculum to open the patient rally wide. Have seen medical clips where a weighted speculum is used and the surgeon then holds both the Sims and the forceps used to hold the cervix in one hand, leaving his other hand fee to use the dilators – looks very nice! 😉

"would have liked to see how stretched open i was"

So would I! If I was lucky enough to spread you wide open like that, I'd have a video camera recording it, and you'd be watching the monitor. Lots of photos, too.

You lucky girl!

This is used in surgery and I have seen it used in vaginal surgery and vaginal hystorectomy. it is so the surgon can put it in and hold the floor of the vagina down and get access to the cervix

It would of turned me on seeing how open i was, the weight can be shared by the doctor also but a slight amount of discomfort is always good x

I have seen it used in surgery. It is pretty heavy. And if misued can cause damage which might require a trip to the ER and / or surgery.

I love the feeling of being stretched wide open. I really liked the pain and discomfort when i had an auvard speculum used on me. I felt like the doctor could have fisted me with out touching the walls of my vagina.

Has anyone here had any experience of the Sim's speculum? I have a suitable speculum and willing patient but all I have found on the web relating to Sim's speculum on the web is the vintage video often labelled "old gyn" with a patient from the North East of England in 1970s or 1980s.'. I would like to hear from ladies who have had real or play exams in Sim's position and how it felt physically and emotionally.Also from play doctors who have tried it and any tips or link to any other web material. I don't want to spoil my first time trying it by hurting my patient in any way. Thanks in advance .Smith
