Favorite type of speculum

Hey everybody!

What is your favorite type of speculum to use? I'd especially like to hear from the ladies as to which one is more comfortable upon insertion/opening. Graves/Pederson or Collins speculum's? I have two Graves that I currently use, so far so good but I've heard that most women in medical play prefer the collins. Thanks for the info and happy med. play.

I know several women that prefer the Collins as do I for using. Easiest to view and massage the g-spot the way it opens wide at the top.

I have recently added a Trelat to my 'toy bag' and have only had a couple of play sessions with it.

This particular speculum appeals to both my play partner and I due to its clever engineering and mechanical qualities. For me as the recipient I'm also very aware of it's weight as it is quite substantial. The opening of the blades in parallel is quite tolerable but combined with the adjustment at angles can be very testing indeed! Certainly for me it's one speculum that needs a little respect and a 'patient' that needs a certain amount of preparation to be able to take it comfortably. Am I pleased I have one? Ohhhh yeah baby! 😁

I own Graves, Collins, DeVilbiss, Cuscoe and of course the Trelat and the Trelat is my favourite with the DeVilbiss a close second. Now if only I could afford and source a Sullivan O'Connor! 😮

Hope this helps

Personally I love the Collins, gives superb access to the patient and a fantastic view.

I'd love to have a trelat in my collection, at the moment I have various Cuscoe, Collins and Simms but i'm always looking to add more.

Off to Erotica next month and I think the card may go into meltdown!

I prefer collin for the curvy shape, the way it covers labia and the confort. Pee hole is more accessible for catheter. Vaginas are opened larger with it.

I've played solo both with a plastic speculum and my current metal medium graves. I found the plastic one much easier to use solo as you just pinch the handles together and lock with a lever, enjoyed how it felt too and it had a nice wide aperture. I find the graves more fiddly and less comfortable, although I love the hard feeling of the metal and can open it wide with no fear of it breaking. I'd really like a Collins, I love how they look and how people describe them here sounds great. definitely my next purchase, then I'll need to find a good doctor to open it wide for me!

Graves is my favourite to routine exams as play gynecologist, I have Pederson ( very similar ) for narrower ladies

I have played with both the graves and collins speculums. I have played solo with plastic and with metal. I prefer the metal ones when playing with my playmate and plastic when I am alone. I have only played with the collins once so far but I have the feeling that it is going to be my favorite of them all.

We have both a plastic and metal graves. The collins looks very nice. So if one ever shows up in our adventures it may have to be picked up.

My experience with metal speculums has been really uncomfortable, so I'm pretty keen to try plastic.

I am very attracted by the shape of Guttman speculum and I would like to buy one to surprise my patient next time she get her pussy examined by me. It seems to be not very common, but it is known for its capability to exert a uniform dilatation on vaginal tissues. Any experience with this kind of speculum?

You need (and I have) a Collins speculum (not Graves) if you want to do female urethral estim.

I really like the design of the collins -- simplicity is key.

I don't have a particular favourite, it's the dr who decides what's needed after all, I think as long as its not too big and inserted slowly and correctly any of them are ok 😃

I've sampled many, and I just generally prefer the Collins. For me, at least, it seems to stay in place better when inserted and open. That is particularly handy when I'm using it by myself. Plus, it allows for easy access to my clit and (as already mentioned above) urethral opening.

Hands down the collins, it givs access to the clit and is great for cath play.

And i like the shape of it

I love my Collins! Makes everything nice and open!

I think the very best one is Collins l'Argentina speculum....It is so wide!

Why isn't the Collins used by real ob-gyns? Is the Graves/Pederson a better design? You'd think some doctors would use the Collins, but it appears it's exclusively for play...

We use a veterinarian equine speculum used for horses and other large animals. This will open my wife up so far I can put my hand inside her without touching the walls of her vag.

She does find it a little uncomfortable after a long session but says it's ok.

Basically it is the same as a normal vaginal speculum except larger, a lot larger.

My favorite is the Guttman, as it has more viewable area on top, although I believe it's used mostly for surgery, so I don't use it in play exams.

2nd is the Collins. I like it for it's simplicity in addition to the the increased viewable area on top (I.e. you get an excellent view of the urethra and clitorus). Again, I wouldn't use it in realistic play exams as it's not used in actual routine exams.

3rd is the plastic Graves/Pederson because of the less obstructed view. I would use those for realistic play exams because they are probably the most common speculums in use. Lastly are metal Graves/ Pederson, which I would also use for play exams, as they are commonly used as well.

Plastic speculums work well.....and they don't cross contaminate😃

My wife prefers the plastic in real and home exams...says metal is to cold.

We really enjoy using the mathieu speculum, its meant for anal, but my wife seems to enjoy it vaginally, I like how it blocks out less of the body area than other speculum.

My vote goes to the Miller because the blades open parallel, but after reading this thread I am intrigued by the Guttman...

I have a Graves and a Miller. I love the Miller. It's really smooth, well-made, and very adjustable. Provides a great view. The Trelat is probably similar in terms of function, but looks a little scary.

I was going to steal a plastic one from the doctor's examination room, but they switched to using metal the next time I visited. I guess it's better for the environment.

I don't have a favourite I just love all metal speculums, bigger the better. Trying to find a horse speculum for my ultimate exam.

Wow ,with all the different speculums, I would say the Guttman is my favorite. 2nd a Collens but the new 4 blade Graves is a good 3rd. All cold unrelenting Stainless Steel, no plastic BS

I like the Guttman as well, as it never pinches and it offers an unobstructed view of the anterior wall. I haven't heard anyone from anyone else who was famiar with it...

I would say the Collins speculum, very easy to use , good views and most importantly very comfortable for the patient. I have not had the opportunity to handle a Guttman Speculum but it looks very interesting. I'm also intrigued by the Trelat speculum with its unique design which allows wider view then the other speculums. It stretches the vagina much wider at the entrance, by turning just one thumb screw. As well as the Millers Speculum with the ability to of not only being able to stretch the blades but also adjust the angle of the blade (the right adjustment wheel spreads the blades up to 3.5 inches wide, the left adjustment wheel adjusts the angle of the blades).
