Speculums

I have also seen the collins used for a LEEP procedure BTW.

Though I do agree, for play, it is the best tool for urethral work of any kind. The lateral separation of the blades exposes the urethral meatus perfectly.

Have fun with those collins specs😉

Cheers!

Anal speculums are better suited for the task. I like using a Pratt with its' long blunt nose. It allows for more control and longer dwell times. Less likely to cut or pinch on the way out

Although the past posts make the point that the Collins is best for play, they're a little vague, so thought I'd add my 2 cents.

Think of the Graves as a duck bill. When you slide it in and open it up it does a great job of opening the area around the cervix. But it also does a great job of covering up most of the wall all the way to the bottom.

THe Graves opening is 90 degrees from the Collins and the blades open parallel rather than being hinged at the top of the Graves duck bill. The advantage for play is that the Collins leaves the top of wall of the vagina exposed for viewing and massage of the g-spot area.

How much is a spequlum with a good quality?

How much is a spequlum with a good quality?

I have a collection of graves, collins, trelat, auvard and syms. I'd say on average I paid $10 US on ebay. Less for the syms, more for the trelat and auvard.

I want to try it, do you feel a different between a speculum with plastic or metal?

Is there a difference in an anal speculum and a vaginal speculum, and if so what is it? Where can I buy them if I need one of each.

Jack

Yes, there is a difference, but you'd be better off going on the Erotic Clinic forum. They probably have more experience.

Collins, small would be my preference in such a situation!

What size and make would be best for a young lady who is still a virgin, but interested in being examined?

well I would say the graves small size that is also called "virgin speculum" you may have it on steel or plastic disposable

My opinion is that the metal ones are more fun than the plastic. You must utilize good cleaning procedures between uses. I also think that smaller is better. The little ones are easier to insert and you can still expand them to give as much pressure as your partner desires.

Is it just me or do any other girls find the exiting of a speculum more uncomfortable than the insertion???? Maybe thats just me!

Can anyone recommend how to sterilize a metal speculum for home use? i'm considering buying one...

Believe it or not, the dishwasher is very good for cleaning (not sterilizing) all sex toys because it gets very hot for a long time and the detergent has enzymes and things to remove sticky films.

Just remember to take out your toys before your well meaning children decide to empty the dishwasher for you.

We have both the clear plastic and stainless steel speculums, vaginal and anal and foreskin spreader. For a novice the plastic is best but for experienced horny pussy's they seem to love the feel of the steel!

I think the "purists" among us will say "metal specula" its as much the contrast of cold surgical steel and the warmth of the human body.

"Is it just me or do any other girls find the exiting of a speculum more uncomfortable than the insertion? Maybe thats just me!"

Is the doc closing the speculum up all the way before exiting. It should be left open about 1cm between the blades - this way it won't pinch on removal.

I have a nice collins one I like to use on myself

I have a medium sized metal graves and I also have a small pederson, which is also metal, both of which I enjoy.

I dislike plastic specula, I find metal specula provide a great range of possibilities for temperature play etc. I've also known some patients to have concerns about the safety of plastic specula.

I currently have a collection of both anal and vaginal specula which consists of one large and one small graves and a large collins on the vaginal side (The small graves is also great for ass play) and a Pratt and a Mathieu on the anal side, all of which are metal.

In terms of preference I would say that the collins is best for vaginal use as you can get a real handle on it and it gives a lot better leverage than the graves. For anal I would recommend the Mathieu, it is easy to use and more comfortable to the patient where as the Pratt that I have has slits which can be very painful and cause damage to the patient if not used VERY carefully. The Mathieu can be quite expensive though and I have found that a small vaginal speculum, such as the graves, can be equally effective.

The four bladed white plastic Patton Speculum is our favorite. It opens in four directions, holds snug yet gentle. It's great for Macro Photography and is easily illuminated.

I have a plastic one that I really like. It is not shaped like the ones you buy but it does the Job very well. I bought it in a adult book store but is works well and I like using it on my wife

While during my annual phyical, before the doctor came in i snooped in the drawer and swiped a couple plastic speculums to use at home

Vaginal Speculum:

Collins (steel)

Grave (steel)

Cusco (steel or plastic single use)

We have a pretty full collection of different styles and sizes, but the medium Collins speculum definitely gets used the most.

All told, in the drawer at home, we have: Collins vaginal in small, medium, and large; Graves vaginal in small, medium, and large; a Pratt rectal, and a Mathieu rectal.

The Collins spec. is my preferred too, obviously it's not the only that I have and use 😉

I'll go through my collection of specula some other time, but I just feel compelled to make this comment.

To those of you that are "swiping" medical equipment from your MD's office; that's not borrowing, or any other cute euphemism, it's stealing. For the love of Pete, "man up", get on Ebay, and buy some darned plastic specula. They're not that expensive, and they are exactly the same as the ones your doctor uses.

If you're worried about privacy, most Ebay vendors are very good about discreet packaging. And hey, if you're really that concerned, maybe you shouldn't be playing in this sandbox. Even the stainless steel specs aren't that expensive, are easily sterilized and are a one-time investment.

People who steal just annoy the snot out of me!

Aesthetically, i much prefer steel. I'm hardly a speculum expert, but i do have a collin and a cusco. Plastic ones are ok, steel for me though just feels more clinical, and for some reason more hygienic too. 😃

Jen

I like being able to see the walls with a plastic one, but a metal Graves is still my favorite. Or my trelat for special occasions!

I have 2 graves speculums 1 steel and 1 plastic but i like to have a steel Collins also
