Women, how do you prepare for your gyno appointment?

We make sure her bush is neatly trimmed, her legs and anus are all shaved and a fresh set of color dye is applied. Her gyno has commented before on her various bush colors (like purple, green, hot pink, etc)

I always shave my wife before she goes in. She wants to be clean looking for the doc. I have to admit that looking at her all smooth, legs spread in the stirrups is a huge turn-on!

I always shave the night before. That way it I do have some irritation..it has some time to heal a little

I always shave before the exam. Then I use a soothing oil to prevent irritation

I am always very self conscious about the cleanliness of my pubic area when I go to the GYN. I don't shave completely but I do trim and I ALWAYS shower before I go, I addition, when I get there I use the ladies room and clean myself with the disinfecting wipes that are used for urine samples.

I shower, shave and the night before do a few enemas.

I had my yearly GYN physical scheduled yesterday morning. The night before, I got into the bathtub to trim up a little and even things out. Well, when I went to take another shower again right before my appointment, I had bare rectangular shaped stripe....from the razor-- right near the middle of my triangle. It looked ridiculous. Like a little girl that finds a pair of scissors and cuts her own bangs.

So I showed my husband and told him I needed to do something to fix this before my Gyno sees it (yes, he agreed it looked ridiculous, as well) so my husband suggested the only way to fix it was to just shave it ALL off -Brazilian Style!. He thought the doctor would be less likely to laugh out loud at my completely bare vagina...as opposed to the botched shave job.

I knew there was only one solution. I called and cancelled the appointment. I apologized for the short notice and said I couldn't get there because my car door was frozen shut. Now I have to wait 3 more weeks 😢

I am curious....are there other women that would have rescheduled their appointment for something stupid like that?

@smithwen why be embarrassed about being completely shaven? My wife has been "bald" for 18 years. The only times a doctor has commented is during her cancer treatments, the rad onc, seeing her for the first time said "your pubic hair should eventually grow back". It took a year for the rad onc to realize that she shaved it bare. She actually asked my wife in Monday if she shaved for hygiene or personal preference. My wife said for personal preference.

My wife always makes me shave her before she goes in, usually the night before. She likes to be completely shaved for the appt. I think it makes it easier for the doctor to do the external exam. We once asked the doctor if it was common to be shaved and he said usually with younger women.

Hello@Dozerman,

I was embarrassed for the doctor to see a "botched" shave job......I never said being completely shaven bare was embarrassing. That's cool that your wife likes to be completely shaven but not everyone does. I know it will grow back ....but I don't like the itching feeling so I wasn't going to shave bald.

Your wife's doctor actually asked her why she shaved her pubic hair....and if it was for personal or hygiene preferences? I would find that to be an odd and unusual question for a doctor to ask.

I was just throwing a question out there for the ladies to see if they have ever been in a similar situation where something silly happened and they didn't want their doctor to see.

My girlfriend is clean shaven down there she beleaves to keep that area hair free and freqently asks for my help to just tidy up that area if she missed any spots

@Smithwen since my wifes cancer, she gets lots of odd and different questions at her exams. Her current radiology oncologist is a little chinese women who speaks very broken english. I'm sure she doesn't see many women my wifes age (45) with a completely bare pussy except after radiation. She has always shaved bare since we have been together.

Shave my pussy completely bare. I want my doctor to get the view she wants.

My ex always let me groom her before her exam. The night before, we would take a shower together and I would make sure she was extra clean. After drying each other off, she would lay down on the bed and I would get a bowl of steaming hot water. I would get a warm wet wash cloth and place it on her pubic hair to soften it and then use a lubricating oil to help prevent irritation. Once that was applied and the hair was nice and soft, I would apply shaving cream and shave her bare.

She always had afternoon appts so we would sleep in and I would shower with her again the next morning. She knew how excited I would get and tease me about it. I would make sure she was extra clean for her doc and I'm sure it was the cleanest and well groomed pussy her doc saw all day.

I usually try to be trimmed for the gyn. But otherwise, I'm usually clean shaven. I want things to look even and not messy down there, but, growing up, I always read that the gyn wants to see some hair as a sign of development. Whether this is true or not, its always stuck with me so I usually try to have a little bit just incase. Afterwards, I shave. 😃

I take a long hot shower with complete shaving of legs, armpits and pubic hair. I especially concentrate on my pelvic butt areas. I want to be clean for my gyn.

I like to keep mine completely shaven. Especially just prior to my gyn exam. No Dr. has ever commented on my baldness but have had a couple of nurses look at me and roll their eyes

I like to keep myself mostly shaven with just a small bit of hair neatly trimmed. No doctor has ever commented but I have had a nurse say that that doctor and nurses have seen it all and nothing ever catches them by surprise unless it's something really off the wall. Then it becomes back room chatter in the doctors office. lol!

I don't usually shave just before the appointment, but my husband and I do like to keep trimmed, so I have gone that way many times. The doctor doesn't say anything about it one way or the other. I'm sure that I'm not the first gal he's seen with a trimmed pussy.

I think it's pretty normal for women in my age group to shave. I almost always shave/wax...actually the one time I went to the doctor bushy she expressed definite surprise at that choice.

I completely shave before the exams. It is the custom here in my country. That way, you Show that you are "clean". I know that is a slightly sexist approach, but I still prefer to be that way showing myself to the doc.

I shower and and then shave completely down there.

I usually trim my wife very close with my beard trimmer. I have only shaved it a couple of times in our marriage. She wouldn't think of going to the doctor fully shaved

Most of my previous GF's have preferred to let it grow out for modesty reasons. One a long time ago was mortified when she had her first exam, it was a surprise to start off with but she said it was made much worse by the fact that we had her completely bald at the time. It got me extremely hot thinking about her being completely exposed like that, at short notice and last thing in the evening so no chaperone available. I wish like anything I could've been a fly on the wall for that one, at least I was told a detailed account!

In my experience if you don't shave the doctor will take longer and be more thorough in inpecting your vulva because the hair inhibits them from viewing it.

I have a GYN appointment this upcoming week. Have been growing out a full bush the past few months and am not sure if I should shave clean for the GYN appointment. Or should I just trim down a bit?

I suspect that your GYN guy has no particular preference, so it all boils down to whatever "look" you like.

Don't shave.

Do have your hubby or a trusted friend shave you, and enjoy it. ;-)

I agree it should be whatever you like. I'm sure your gyn could care less.

DON'T SHAVE or have anyone shave you if you don't normally shave if your appointment is in less than a week. A fresh shave after not doing it for a long time will leave you with red skin marks and irritation if you have presently have a full bush.

Just DO A NICE TRIM if you want it more coiffed. You can shave after the exam.
